by GSM Arena (Jul, 2010)We never though we'd say that for, but resolution-wise, the iPhone 4 camera is among the best performing 5 megapixel cameraphones out there.
by GSM Arena (Mar, 2013)The phone's UI is mirrored on the TV and with the fullHD resolution of the display, watching on an HDTV is a joyful experience.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Apple iPhone 4 compared to the HTC One
GHz0.8
iOS 6 3.5G
Rated 100% by by Jose-Carlos-Aguirre (Aug, 2011)The camera has an excellent 5 megapixel resolution.
1.7 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 4G
by GSM Arena (Mar, 2013)As it turns out the shots are pretty good, considering the less than perfect environment and their per-pixel detail is much better than any of the smartphones we have recently reviewed.
screen size
3.5"
4.7"
One by GSM Arena (Mar, 2013)Of course the Xperia has a larger screen and water resistance to show for it, but the size difference seems adequate to us.
screen resolution
iPhone 4 by GSM Arena (Jul, 2010)But there’s much more: a 1GHz chip, two cameras, HD video and of course the Retina display – the highest-res screen we’ve seen so far on a GSM phone.
One by GSM Arena (Mar, 2013)But if you want to print out photos or crop into a smaller detail, 4MP may start to feel pretty tight around the neck.

processor
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)On paper, it may not stand up to the latest and greatest Android phone with 4G radios, a massive screen, and a screaming 1.5GHz dual-core CPU — but in use, it’s easily one of the most capable handsets on the market.
One by c|net (Feb, 2013)Beating inside the heart of this regal machine is a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, fresh off of Qualcomm’s factory floor.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
iPhone 4 by G.-Lee (Mar, 2011)Higher megapixels do not correlate with higher quality images; although there are many other phones out there in the 8+ megapixel range, none match the overall image quality of the iPhone.
Performance Real world tests of Apple iPhone 4 vs HTC One
cpu speed
iPhone 4 by D.-Gong (Jun, 2011)I will not repeat the most common positive review points about this phone (i.e. great display, good looks, good camera, speedy processor, good library of apps).
One by GSM Arena (Mar, 2013)We also run some browser test with the stock web browser - HTC needs to do some more optimizations here as the HTC One came behind older phones with slower cores in both SunSpider (which measures JavaScript performance) and BrowserMark 2 (which evaluates HTML5 performance).
