When the HTC Desire Eye we put him face to face with him O, which was at that time his most direct rival in the fight for the title for best smartphone for selfies and we left it to revisit this battle when we met his successor. Well, the O It is now official and the time has come to face it in a new comparative with the smartphone of HTC.
Integrated
As with its predecessor, the HTC Desire Eye stands out with a more classic and somewhat elegant design, due to the unusual look it gives to the O, as he gave it to O, the rotary module in which the camera is inserted. Regarding the extras, it should be mentioned that the smartphone of Oppo has a fingerprint reader, while the HTC It counts in its favor with being waterproof.
Dimensions
El O is a bulkier device than the HTC Desire Eye, although the difference is not as great as the one we found with the O, since the screen is now considerably smaller: 16,12x7,7 inch against 15,17x7,38 inch. The smartphone of HTC It also continues to gain, without surprises, in thickness (9,9 mm against 8,5 mm) and by weight (192 grams against 154 grams).
Screen
As we anticipated, the differences in screen size have decreased a lot and are now less than half an inch (5.5 inches against 5.2 inches) and remain equal in resolution (1920 x 1080 in both cases), so the difference in pixel density has also decreased (PPI 403 against PPI 424).
Performance
One of the sections in which the most O is in the processor, which makes the HTC Desire Eye has lost all the advantage it had over the O: now we have in both cases a Snapdragon 801 a 2,3 GHz accompanied 2 GB RAM memory. We will have to wait, in any case, to check the differences that the operating system may suppose, with ColorOS on the smartphone of Oppo and HTC Sense customization on the HTC.
Storage capacity
The smartphone of Oppo It has a certain advantage in the storage capacity section, since it will be sold with double the internal memory (32 GB against 16 GB). In this case, however, it is a less decisive advantage, since with the two smartphones we enjoy the possibility of expanding the memory externally via card micro-SD.
Cameras
This is the star section of the comparison, since in these two smartphones we find the very particular characteristic of having a sensor of the same power for both selfies as for conventional photographs. There is an important difference between the two, as you already know, and that is that in the case of O it is in fact the same camera that we use in both cases, while in the HTC Desire Eye we simply have two cameras of the same quality. The final victory, in any case, is now for the smartphone of Oppo with a sensor 16 MP (in front of 13 MP of the smartphone of HTC).
Battery
Although we will not be able to say anything for sure until we see the independent autonomy analyzes, in which the consumption of each device is also considered, the advantage should be for the O, which has a battery with a capacity much higher than that of the HTC Desire Eye (3000 mAh against 2400 mAh).
Price
It remains to be seen how the price of the O, of which we only know for the moment that it will cost U.S. dollar 650, but if the worst happens and it is put on sale for 650 euros, the difference with the HTC Desire Eye would be quite large, since this one would cost $550. We cannot pronounce, however, until we have the final price in euros.
