Now a days almost everyone has a flagship chip with four cores. Thus, their “monsters” have already submitted including Huawei , LG , ZTE and HTC . The flagship Samsung Galaxy S3 is also not far off.
powerful gadget lovers with such diversity is not easy to decide on which device it is worth spending their hard earned money. Today we will try to help a bit to our readers, especially those who are “torn” between the “titans” HTC One X and LG Optimus 4X HD . So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Form Factor
Winner: LG Optimus 4X HD (8,9 mm)
Loser: HTC One X (9,3 mm)
In this category we have done our conclusions based on the thickness of the device and decided not to affect the design of smart phones, it’s often a matter of taste. Thus, the flagship of the LG was a little thinner than his opponent. In any case, HTC never really oriented to the production of thin devices, so we did not expect that HTC One X will be “lean.” Wonder if you really notice the difference in the 2 mm.
Display
Winner: LG Optimus 4X HD (4,7 inches, True HD IPS, 1280 x 720)
Loser: HTC One X (4,7 inch, Super LCD, 1280 x 720)
Both displays were the flagship of large size, which makes them particularly suitable for gaming and Internet browsing. Screen resolution is also identical, although we have given an advantage in this category because of the smartphone from LG IPS-matrix, which ensures sharp images and excellent viewing angles. However, HTC X One supports an entirely new technology Optical Lamination, which, according to the manufacturer should also provide excellent picture quality. However, we have yet to see this in practice, so give your vote to the display LG Optimus 4X HD.
Processor
LG Optimus 4X HD Tegra 3 Quad 1.5 GHz
HTC One X Tegra 3 Quad 1.5 GHz
At the flagship both the processors are absolutely identical, so we are in this category, none of them have given the palm. Whatever it was, most likely in real life, smart phones will show the difference in performance due to the presence of shells and other proprietary features, and therefore draw conclusions about which one is faster, it will be possible only after a certain time.
Operating system
LG Optimus 4X HD Android 4.0, LG Shell
HTC X One Android 4.0, HTC Sense 4.0
It is also difficult to determine who exactly won. Both devices are running the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but the corporate shell of the two smartphones are not caused by all users of awe.
Speaking of Sense 4.0, many complain of its complexity and intricacy with which even the manufacturer agrees . The disadvantage of the shell from LG is that it is not very useful and adds little to the pure Android.
Camera
Winner: HTC One X (the basic 8-megapixel camera with a lens, f 2.0, 1,3-megapixel front)
Loser: LG Optimus 4X HD (basic 8-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front)
As for the camera, then at least two devices got 8 megapixels, but not only in their case. In this case, HTC One X – a clear favorite. Make a great job on their leader and as a result of camera phones has received, among other things, f 2.0 lens for low light conditions especially, the ability to create pictures in the video mode, the recognition of objects, faces and smiles, instant activation of the camera with the screen lock, video stabilization and so on.
Memory
Winner: HTC One X (32 GB, 25 GB of Dropbox in the cloud for free for 2 years)
Loser: LG Optimus 4X HD (16 GB)
HTC One X wins here, because it is almost twice the internal memory than the competitor. Of course, the 16 GB – is also quite a few, but photos and music fans this may seem like enough.
However, HTC One X has one major drawback – the lack of support for memory cards micro SD, which manufacturers have tried to compensate for cloud storage Dropbox. This replacement is somehow not very happy.
Battery
Winner: LG Optimus 4X HD (2150 mAh)
Loser: HTC One X (1800 mAh)
The more cores, the more powerful battery required (in theory). LG Optimus 4X HD equipped with a battery capacity of 2150 mAh which is more than HTC One X 1800 mAh . However, HTC promises that it will save the charge of the processor, because the additional cores will “float” only when necessary (for example, playing 3D-games). This aspect also requires a more thorough evaluation in long-term use of the device.
Total
Each of the leaders have both strengths and weaknesses. LG Optimus 4X HD attracts attention for its design, excellent picture quality, powerful battery and support for microSD. However, HTC One X can “boast” more memory and better camera. In addition, the Taiwanese company has managed to establish a reputation for quality and reliable device, so the LG Optimus 4X HD will be difficult to compete with HTC X One . Many things will determine the pricing policy.
