Sensation XL vs Nexus Prime

HTC Sensation XL vs Galaxy Nexus Prime (Strictly specs based comparison)


Two new handsets to hit the Hong Kong market in the last few days have been the Nexus Prime and Sensation XL. I honestly like the look of both these phones and someone asked me about which one was better. I couldn't tell you that because I have no personal experience with the phone but I am going to list out a comparison of the specs.

                                     HTC Sensation XL                            Nexus Prime

                                     Super LCD display                               Super Amoled HD Display

Camera:                       8MP back with dual flash                           5MP back single flash
                                   1.3 MP front                                           1.3 MP front

                                  In-ear Beats headphones                          Latest Android Software
                                  in the box                                               No flash yet     
                                  Flash Support          

Price:                       $4,980(Sim Free)                                    $5,328(pre-order, Sim Free)                                                       

Final Thoughts: Both these phones pack a lot in terms of specs and raw processing power. Nexus Prime to me is only better because its got the latest Android software and a dual core processor with the beautiful Super Amoled HD Display. The XL on the other hand looks much better in terms of design, a full white, with capacatative buttons only. It also has HTC's Sense UI which makes using it much easier and the Beats AUDIO integration actually is a big feature for audiophiles. The sound quality is greatly improved and you can notice the difference if you turn it off. The question is not which is better but which one is better for you. Hope this helps
