The iPhone 4S remains probably the most popular of mobile phones, but it is confronting growing competition from a number of competing manufacturers, particularly those which use the Android software, HTC as an example. In this article I am going to review a few main features of the Apple iPhone 4S with those of the brand new HTC One X, the manufacturer’s newest flagship smartphone.

Screen

One of the most noticeable differences between the Apple iPhone 4S and the HTC One X is the measurements of their touchscreens. The Apple iPhone 4S, like all previous iPhone devices, boasts a 3.5 inch screen. What the iPhone 4S may lack in touchscreen dimensions, it certainly makes up for with its display quality, because of the famous retina display, which brings about individual pixels becoming indistinguishable with the naked eye. The One X has a much larger screen which measures up at 4.7 inches. It is one of the largest screens on an HTC smartphone to date, and the biggest touchscreen on an Android phone from the brand. Regardless of its large size, this touchscreen includes a high pixel resolution, so display quality is superior to the vast majority of its opposition.

Processor

Because the One X is a much more recent phone, it features a quad-core processor chip. It has a 1.5GHz clock speed which gives it with nearly incomparable performance which extends to several parts of the handset’s software and hardware alike. The Apple iPhone 4S features a dual-core processor, which during the product’s release was a particularly desirable feature. The 1GHz A5 chip is additionally utilised in the iPad 2, so its effectiveness speaks for itself. Although this is not quite as hi spec as the chip found in the One X, it still provides excellent performance, and is definitely a step up from its predecessor the iPhone 4.

Camera

The Apple iPhone 4S and the HTC One X share a pixel resolution of 8 megapixels, and also the capability to capture videos in as much as 1080p which is of course full HD. The two cameras capture high quality snapshots and movies, however the HTC One X boasts a selection of attributes which that of the iPhone 4S does not have. Included in these are the ability to capture simultaneous pictures and videos, and also a function which snaps several sequential shots, and you can then select the best one to keep or share via social media or messaging formats. Nevertheless, both devices have several downloadable apps in their respective app markets (AppStore and Google Play) from the photography category and many others.

Since the HTC One X is newer, it’s got more innovative specifications, although the Apple iPhone 5 is set to be released later in 2012, and this will likely give the HTC One X together with other flagship smartphones a run for their money.
