Apple iPhone 4S vs HTC One S- clash of the titans

HTC and Apple are amongst the best brands in the smartphone mobile industry. Both of these companies have good smartphone devices to their credit. Like HTC One S from HTC and Apple iPhone 4S from Apple. Both these smartphones are high end phones loaded with all the latest features and applications. Let’s compare both devices to get a better understanding of these two smartphone devices. First let us look into HTC One S review, this smartphone was recently announced recently in February 2012, and now this phone is available at retail and online stores. HTC One S is a GSM handset and this phone supports 2G network. This phone also supports 3G network with HSDPA. Looking at the physical features of the phone this phone has a display area of 4.3 inches and 540 X 960 pixel resolution. This handset is fitted with Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen which supports multitouch input feature. The display screen is well protected and is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass and this glass is powered with HTC Sense user interface.


HTC One S weighs 119.5 grams. HTC One S is an Android mobile and this smartphone runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. This smartphone is powered by QUALCOMM MSM8260 Snapdragon chipset and this chipset is mounted with dual core 1.5 GHz Krait Central Processing Unit [CPU], and Adreno 225 Graphical Processing Unit [GPU]. HTC One S is fitted with 8.0 megapixel mobile camera on the rear end of the phone with features like auto focus, face detection, smile detection, geo tagging and HD video and image recording simultaneously. This camera has the ability to record images at 1080p clarity. The phone is also fitted with a VGA camera on the front. The phone is also fitted with LED flash light on the rear panel. HTC One S comes with 16 GB of internal memory and is well supported by 1 GB RAM. HTC One S price in India is about Rs. 28,000.

Now if we take a look on Apple iPhone 4S review this phone has got slightly superior features when compared with HTC One. Starting with display properties this phone has a display area of 3.5 inches with 640 X 960 pixel resolution. Apple iPhone 4S is fitted with LED backlit IPS TFT display screen with multitouch input feature and capacitive touch screen. The display screen is well protected by Corning Gorilla Glass which is similar in HTC One S. Apple iPhone 4 S 2G and 3G network like HTC One S in addition to that this phone also supports CDMA. The CDMA feature is only activated only when this device is retailed on the condition that it will be used for CDMA network. Apple iPhone 4S runs on iOS 5 which can be upgraded to iOS 5.1 and is powered by dual core 1 GHz Cortex A9 processor which is mounted on A5 chipset. The phone is fitted with 8.0 mega pixel camera with 3264 X 2448 pixels resolution with features like geo tagging, image stabilization, face detection, similar to HTC One S smartphone. Apple iPhone 4S has three variants with different memory capacity starting from 16 GB, 32 GB and the third one has a 64 GB capacity. All these three devices are fitted 512 MB RAM and Apple iPhone 4S price in India is around Rs. 40,000 approximately. If we see there is very little to choose from both as both of them are high end devices, but if given a choice to choose one device, Apple would win the race with its crystal clear display and processing speed. Apart from this HTC One only has 16 GB memory variant and it is not scalable to the options available with Apple iPhone 4S 32GB and 64GB. No doubt the price of iPhone 4S is much higher than HTC One S but Apple does demand a niche price with its niche offerings and features. I recently shared that Samsung Galaxy Y Duos has good price and features and Apple iPhone 5 Features revealed.
