In electronics and home appliance stores, cell phone shelves are always lined with many different models. In such conditions of fierce competition, manufacturers are trying to make each of the phones special, better than others. Apple and HTC are among the most popular smartphone manufacturers today. However, when buying a phone, you have to choose in favor of one model or the other.
Before choosing a phone model, the buyer needs to decide on the purposes for which he needs a gadget. For example, if you want to use two different SIM cards in your phone, then your choice is a model from HTC, since Apple does not produce devices that work with two SIM cards.
Important characteristics
An important factor when deciding between Apple and HTC phones is price. If you are not ready to spend more than 18 thousand rubles, then you can choose a good budget model from HTC, but Apple smartphones will cost you a little more.
But the hardest choice is for those who want to get the flagship of modern mobile phones. This is where the iPhone 5S and HTC One (M8) come into play. They cost about the same, they are powerful phones with many great add-ons and features.
The HTC smartphone runs on the Android operating system, which has a large amount of free software for the phone, you can download and install more programs, games and useful applications. It also has the ability to use the Flash player to view many beautiful Internet sites, the IPhone does not.
The big advantage of the Android operating system is that files can be easily exchanged between a personal computer and a phone. If in order to copy music and photos to the IPhone you need to install the program, understand it and synchronize the phone with the PC several times, then for such procedures with HTC you just need to connect the device via a wire to the computer and copy the files as to a flash drive.
However, the iOS operating system is more convenient to use on the phone, the developers are constantly releasing updates to fix system errors. And it's much easier to update the firmware of an Apple phone. IOS performance is also better than Android.
Comparison of flagships
It is worth comparing the technical characteristics of the phones. The HTC smartphone has a built-in memory of 32 GB, the storage capacity of Apple phones varies from 16 to 64 GB. The diagonal of the screen is larger for the HTC flagship, but the iPhone 5S has an excellent Retina screen that allows you to show really beautiful pictures.
The iPhone 5S is lighter and thinner and fits nicely in the hand. Apple's flagship has the best rear camera for capturing quality photos, the front camera is better on the HTC One. HTC has a more powerful battery, which allows the phone to work 1.5-2 hours longer. According to many crush tests, the iPhone is ready to withstand more drops than the HTC One.
Each of the phones has its own advantages. Each user chooses the best smartphone for himself.
