HTC Droid DNA can without exaggeration be called the most powerful and advanced Android-leader in 2012. For the most part it makes a magnificent win five-inch display with FullHD-resolution. Interestingly, this is also the most controversial option in the smartphone, many believe it is too large. We
shall try without unnecessary emotions compare Droid DNA with one very
interesting and technically similar to him smartphone - Nexus 4.
Nexus 4, produced by the Korean company LG specifically for Google, - powerful and modern smartphone. In fact, the first line of smartphone Nexus, which can compete with the current flagship of any manufacturer. Keep
it in the hands of people say that it is not only the best of
everything that made the mobile division of the company LG, but also a
serious contender for the title of most advanced Android-smartphone of
the year.
The comparison should start with the appearance of the device and the materials from which they are made. HTC Droid DNA from a large screen looks very extended, though it gives it a special charm. Shape it is typical for smartphones HTC, the company decided to keep the flagship model recognizable features. Almost
the entire front side of the protective glass covers, under which is
not only the screen, but also the control unit of the three touch
buttons. Just above the screen legend and Verizon earpiece. Here, wide-angle front camera and proximity / light. The back of a black, a camera eye, surrounded by a red ring, next to the flash. As always, in the middle of the housing inscription HTC, at the bottom - logos 4G LTE and Beats Audio, is a hands-free speaker. Housing molded, created from a nice plastic.
Nexus 4 almost preserved hull form previous smartphone in the series, but was a different design and materials. Cover your screen Nexus 4 glass is not concave, and even a little above the edges of the housing. Under it is also rather big screen, but the pad is not, they are virtual. Just below the screen is hidden under a protective glass notifying LED which is visible only when some event. Front camera above the screen, sensors, and dynamic slot. Back "cover» Nexus 4 is made of glass with a secure beautiful pattern which is visible only at certain angles smartphone. Across the cover, in the upper part, there is a large inscription made white NEXUS. Just above her eye camera with flash. At the bottom of a small smartphone manufacturer's logo.
Now look at the screens of both smartphones. There is a five-inch Droid DNA matrix with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, executed on technology Super LCD 3. The number of pixels per inch - 440. Nexus 4 also boasts a high-quality screen with a diagonal of 4.7 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720, 320 ppi. It is made by technology True IPS HD Plus. On
quality color display and screen brightness are quite similar, but the
picture is much clearer on the Droid DNA - affects more dense
arrangement of pixels. However, to see the difference, you need to put both phones side by side.
Surprisingly, the hardware filling these smartphones is very similar. Why is that amazing? Because the test results differ markedly. But back to the "iron." And HTC Droid DNA, and Nexus 4 from LG feature quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) with a frequency of 1.5 GHz and accelerator Adreno 320. Both have the same amount of RAM to 2 GB and 16 GB of data recording, memory card slot no. It is worth saying that the Nexus 4 is also the version with 8 GB on board, but it is sold only through the Play Store.As mentioned above, the difference in the test results with such similar stuffing is staggering. HTC Droid DNA down market leading synthetic benchmarks and some reasonable explanation for this finding is not yet possible. However, look at the numbers for yourself:
Of course, Nexus 4 is still ahead of most of today's champions in performance, but his loss Droid DNA serious. It is quite possible that in the Nexus is not the most optimal drivers, because they never opened. But at the moment we have what we have.Both smartphones are set high quality camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels. However, HTC Droid DNA still benefits from a more interesting and functional software. However, Android 4.2 on Nexus 4 includes a feature PhotoSphere, allows you to shoot spherical panoramas, which looks quite interesting and original. The front camera has a resolution of 4 Nexus 1.3 MP, nothing outstanding, but with their functions to cope. In a wide-Droid DNA-facing camera with BSI-backlit display and a resolution of 2.1 megapixels, it can take a much larger area that is convenient for family video calls.Both smartphones support almost all modern methods of data transmission, it makes no sense to list them. However, the flagship of HTC for Verizon boasts and official support LTE, while the Nexus 4 allegedly deprived of this function. Interestingly, the corresponding chip in a smartphone, but it's blocked. Today craftsmen ran it through the engineering menu and were even able to use to download the data (frequency, however, supported by a fairly limited). Most likely, Google and LG at the last minute decided not to complicate the production installation of different antennas and abandoned this technology in general.Since the case of smartphones, one-piece, the battery is not removable. Capacity built in Droid DNA is 2020 mAh battery, the Nexus is a little over four capacious - 2100 mAh. Both smartphones are not the winners of the competition for longevity, but looks are on par with other similar devices. It seems that wireless charging is a trend, since both competitors support it without problems.In Nexus 4 is the freshest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean without any shells, smartphone will be the first to receive updates for at least another year and a half. HTC Droid DNA can only boast of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, however, it is installed on top of the shell HTC Sense 4 +, which many pridetsyasya to taste.Finally made it to one of the most important points of comparison devices - price. HTC Droid DNA without a contract Verizon will cost $ 599, with a two-year contract of $ 199. Nexus 4 with 16 GB of internal memory in the Google Play is $ 349, which is much cheaper than "free» DNA. For U.S. residents the choice between the smart phones is determined by many factors, including those not dependent on the characteristics (such as "beloved by the operator"). Apparently, the device expects a serious competition.
