Nokia Lumia 920 vs HTC Windows Phone 8X

Categories: Brands Comparisons HTC NokiaAuthor Ravindra RathodPosted on

HTC Windows Phone 8X and Nokia Lumia 920 are currently the top two WP8 smartphones released this year. Both the handsets are powerful, beautiful and are built for different audience. HTC 8X is a thinner and slick device where as Lumia 920 is bit thicker and wider device. Below is the brief comparison of the features of both the handsets which can be helpful for the people who are bit confused on which one to buy.

Os:
HTC Windows 8X and Lumia 920 are running on the latest Windows Phone 8 Os from the Microsoft. WP8 is the second generation of the WP Os as the apps running on the WP 7. X are not compatible with the WP8 and vice versa. Major advantages of WP8 Os is it supports multicore Cpu’s, high resolution displays, microSD support, security components, NFC capability where you can transfer the data not only with a WP device but even with a Windows 8 desktop or tablet.

System:
As the WP8 supports multitasking, both the devices are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon dual core 1.5Ghz processors. Which means more or less they perform with same speed. Integrated with 1GB RAM which would be sufficient to open multiple apps at a time. Both the handsets has Adreno 225 as the GPU. Windows Phone 8X has 16GB in-built memory and Lumia 920 has the double i.e, 32GB internal storage. Both the handsets doesn’t have the microSD card slot for memory expansion.

Display:
The 8X has a 4.3 inch Super LCD2 touchscreen with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution where as Lumia 920 has a bit longer screen size of 4.7 inch TFT LCD type display with 1280 x 768 pixel resolution which makes it a wider phone compared to the HTC 8X. Display’s of both the devices are protected from Gorilla Glass for scratch and damage resistance.

Camera:
Both the handsets feature an 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording. HTC 8X has a single LED flash with touch focus where as the Lumia 920 has a dula led flash with auto focus. Nokia’s PureView technology is used in Lumia 920 camera which gives an extra edge over anyother smartphone.
HTC 8X has a 2.1MP front facing camera and Lumia 920 has a 1.3MP camera at the front for video chatting.

More:
HTC 8X has comparatively a lower capacity battery of 1800mAH than Lumia 920 which has a 2000mAH battery. The 8X supports beats audio which can be an advantage compared to the Lumia 920 which has no exclusive technology in the Music section. Both the devices are integrated with GPS for navigation, supports NFC, Bluetooth v3.1, USB 2.0, 3G & 2G and Wifi in the connectivity section.

Looking at the above mentioned specs and features one can decide wisely which one to go. For me both the handsets looks almost the same but somewhere Nokia Lumia 920 wins the comparision, be it in looks or in the camera.
HTC Windows Phone 8X is released in India and cost around Rs 35000, Nokia Lumia 920 is available in some markets but it is scheduled to be released in India perhaps in Jan 2013 and the expected price of the handset would be around Rs 32000.

Official: Jelly Bean update for HTC One X and HTC One S by October end

Categories: Brands HTC NewsAuthor Ravindra RathodPosted on

“The Android Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 4+ update is scheduled to begin rolling out for the HTC One S and HTC One X from October,” 
This is the latest statement HTC has officially announced. It means both the HTC One X and HTC One S phones will get the latest version Android 4.1 update by this month end. The company hasn’t mentioned any specific release date of the update yet.
It was in June the company had officially announced about supporting the upgrade to some of its Android ICS smartphones. So it is also expected that the Android 4.1 update will follow for some of its other mid range smartphones.
Still there is no news on when this update will be rolled out in India but looking at the HTC’s Indian market share and customer’s enthusiasm perhaps this update will be rolled out during the same period.

Another good news for Indian customers, HTC has slashed the price of some of its Android smartphones in India including its flagship smartphone Htc One X. As of October the updated price of HTC One X and One S are Rs 35000 and Rs 28700 respectively.
