Until very recently, Google's Nexus 4 phone was the best smartphone in terms of value for money, but then the Taiwanese company appeared HTC willing to regain territory in the market and launched the ambitious HTC One.
To better understand which of these two phones wins in a comparison, we will carefully analyze its most important components, from the processor to the screen and the internal specifications. Do you have a favorite before starting the comparative?
Processing power
The heart of a smartphone is in its processor, the Nexus 4 has a quad core chip Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro with a frequency of 1.5 Ghz, not bad for one of the phones that sold out almost instantly at the end of 2012 when it went on sale.
Meanwhile HTC One improves processing power by offering a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 with four cores but improved frequency up to 1.9 Ghz. In this section, HTC has a slight advantage because it uses the latest generation of Snapdragon processors.
La RAM of both devices is equal, they are 2 GB dedicated Fully to avoid slowdowns and to guarantee fluidity and versatility even running multiple applications simultaneously.
How does it look? Display and layout
Again HTC One has advantages being a newer model. It achieves a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels compared to the setting of 1280 x 768 Nexus 4. The screen size does not differ too much, the HTC model reaches 4,8 inches and the Nexus 4 stayed at 4,7.
Photographs and videos
The Nexus 4 sensor is 8 megapixels and allows you to record video in Full HD high definition, but HTC One introduces a new technology with four 4 megapixel sensor layers to achieve 12 megapixels in what HTC has called UltraPixel.
And the operating system?
Finally there is the question of the operating system, here the advantage is for the Nexus 4 since it is ready and thought to receive Google updates before any other device. The HTC One comes with the most up-to-date version, but Google develops its products to have a certain advantage in the market and this is noticeable with the Nexus line.
What phone do you prefer? Nexus 4 or HTC One?

4 x 4 = 16, not 12
ME THAT I REMAIN WITH THE NEXUS. LEBERADO FULL. PRICE, QUALITY AND BEAUTY. VERY AFFORDABLE TO US ANDROID USERS. IT HAS PURE ANDROID NOT FRAMED BY COMPANIES.
Just for updates on the Nexus 4 period. 😉
for those who have nexus in Spanish in face:

4 x 4 is 16, but from what I have read, it is 3 layers and also ... it is totally incorrect to say 12 (or 16) megapixels. Because the photos that you will take (except interpolated), will have the megapixels that the sensors have and not their multiplication
Well, knowing that the Nexus 4 is worth 300 euros, and the HTC One more than double, it is clear that the Nexus 4 is still the one with the best quality / price ratio, by far.
Completely. The HTC One is slightly superior, but "slightly" does not justify twice the price of the Nexus 4.
The htc one costs € 300?
No, it costs approximately 500 Euros
Where have you seen it at 500 euros?
I think it will be around 600, pass me a link that I am interested in the One.
