HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5 - Phone Specs Comparison

Taiwanese handset maker HTC unveiled its flagship HTC One smartphone in London and New York City a few weeks ago. And the Apple iPhone 5 has always be the leading smartphone since its first release. We are taking a look at the just announced HTC One and the iPhone 5 to see how HTC's flagship smartphone compares to one of the industry leaders.

                            

Design: The iPhone 5 and the HTC One looks slightly similar from the front thanks to the HTC One’s chamfered edges, but both phones offer a unique overall look and lust-worthy materials. Aluminum is used for the construction of both smartphones, which gives them a very solid, premium feel.

Size and Weight: The HTC One is thicker than the iPhone 5, measuring 9.3mm at the thickest point compared to the iPhone 5 at 7.6mm, but the edges of the HTC One narrow to almost 4.3mm thick. The HTC One is heavier than the iPhone 5 at 143 grams vs. the iPhone 5 at 112 grams.

                        

Display: The HTC One features a 4.7-inch display, with a 1080 P HD resolution, which is larger and higher than the 4-inch 1136 x 640 resolution of the iPhone 5. Without a doubt, the size advantage and higher resolution of the former will make it more desirable for power users and smartphone enthusiasts. When you watch YouTube videos on HTC One, the crisp image presentation will and wide viewing angels will guarantee you high-end video entertainment.

                      

Camera: HTC made a big deal about the HTC One Ultrapixel camera, claiming that it can capture 300% moe light than a standard smartphone camera for better looking photos and better low light performance. HTC says that the larger pixels can capture more light than 8MP cameras like the iPhone 5 uses

Processor: On paper, the One's Snapdragon 600 chip wins hands-down. Its benchmarks will likely agree. Apple, though, prioritizes experience over specs, and it's hard to argue that the iPhone 5 doesn't blaze through iOS and most apps.

iOS: With the HTC One and iPhone 5, the former is powered by Android Jelly Bean with a new version of Sense UI running on top, while the latter runs Apple's proprietary iOS 6 platform.

Storage and Ram: HTC skipped a 16 GB option, but otherwise flash memory is even. Neither device supports microSD cards for expandable storage.The HTC One also comes out looking good here, with double the iPhone’s 1 GB of RAM.

                        

Wireless: In regions where it's available, both phones support LTE networks. This is practically a given with modern high-end handsets.

Battery: HTC One packs with 2,300mAh battery, while iPhone 5 packs 1,440 mAh battery, both of which provides long-time usage, but HTC One is more

HTC has crafted an excellent smartphone that truly deserves its place in the high-end realm. Whether it is any better than the iPhone 5 is a bit early to say. But no matter what smartphone you will choose, it will satisfy you all.
