The Sony Xperia P was announced by the company in the Electronics Show in Las Vegas just this year. This phone gathered a lot of attention from the public and has been tagged as the next big thing after Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 which was one of Sony’s first Android devices. Meanwhile, the HTC Sensation XE is one of HTC’s high-end devices which comes with a gorgeous screen, Beats Audio and high multimedia features like dual core processor and great camera just to name a few.
It’s already a given that both these devices are great options and amazing attention grabbers yet if you need to make a choice, which one would you lean towards? Let’s compare the two then.
Displays and Designs
The Xperia comes with a 4-inch display, 275ppi and a screen resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and the Sensation has a little bit bigger 4.3-inch display, 256 ppi and the same screen resolution with that of Xperia P.
Yet, Sony developed the WhiteMagic technology and a Mobile BRAVIA engine which it used for the first time in a smartphone to offer brightness with 16M colors. Also, there’s the screen which is made up of glass that shields it from scratches. As for the Sensation XE, HTC takes pride of the Corning Gorilla Glass for its screen that offers defense from scratches as well.
Operating System
The HTC Sensation XE now runs on Android Gingerbread 2.34 which is one of the operating system’s newest versions before Ice Cream Sandwich whereas the Sony Xperia P device runs on Android 2.3.7 with the same TimeScape UI interface.
On the hardware area, in the HTC Sensation XE there is a faster speed and has a greater processor than its rival. It’s has a 1.5GHz processor and it’s powered by Scorpion CPU having two cores. The Xperia on the other hand has a 1GHz Cortex A9 processor that is grounded on a Snapdragon chipset Qualcomm MSM8260 and powered by Adreno 220 GPU. This phone has two cores too.
Memory
The internal memory of Sony Xperia P is 16GB without an expansion slot for Micro SD which the HTC Sensation XE has-that is up to 32GB aside from its internal memory of 4GB.
On this note, it means that Sensation XE enjoys an edge over its rival when talking about memory with a total of 33GB on the move which allows easy transfer of data.
