India Gadget Reviews

There were so many devices showcased during the Mobile World Congress 2012 held in Barcelona Spain. Of all the noise makers present on the said event, there were two names that caught the attention of many attendees. They are handsets made by the Taiwanese tech-giant HTC and Chinese tech-giant Huawei. They are the HTC One X (the HTC One flagship) and the Huawei Ascend D Quad XL (fastest Huawei handset to date).

Do you want to know why people are drawn to these two up and coming powerful smartphones? Do you also want to know why they are considered as a big threat to the famous handsets of today? Well, if you have answered a big YES to both of my questions then it is your lucky day. In this article, I will talk about the amazing and juicy details of these two new powerful handsets. Read on!

Let's start with their processing prowess. The HTC One X packs a powerful Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad-Core processor which clocks at 1.5GHz. The Huawei Ascend D Quad XL on the other packs a Huawei made chipset called K3V2 Quad-Core processor that also clocks at the same speed rate as the One X (at 1.5GHz). The only difference is that the One X uses a proven and well-known chipset maker the Nvidia. But on the other hand, Huawei is known for their hardware production.

Let us now move on to their displays. The One X ships with a 4.7" SuperIPS LCD2 capacitive touch screen with 16 Million colors. It comes in with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 312ppi. The phone's screen is also protected with the tough Corning Gorilla Glass. The Ascend D Quad XL on the other handset ships with a 4.5" IPS+ LCD capacitive touch screen with 16 Million colors. It comes in with a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 326ppi. If you compare the two handsets, you will notice that the HTC One X sports a bigger screen. It beats the Ascend D Quad XL at a mere.2" only. But then again, the pixel density of the Ascend D Quad XL is bigger than the One X.

Before this article ends, let me tell you about their cameras. We all love our mobile phones for their cameras. The good thing is, both of these handsets are sporting an 8MP shutter with the same resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. They also have the same 1.3MP front-facing cameras with 720 pixels. Video recordings on these handsets are at 1080 pixels and at 30 frames per second (fps). They also ship with the same Android Iteration the Ice Cream Sandwich or Android 4.0.

As you can see, the HTC One X and the Huawei Ascend D Quad XL are basically the same with only different outer appearance and minimal differences (specs wise). All I know is that both of these handsets are worth waiting for and both are worth our every single (hard-earned) penny.
