hey everybody this is Chris walk from Android authority and we're here at the Samsung Galaxy s4 launch event in New York City at Radio City Music Hall now we've been comparing a bunch of phone seeing how they hold up to the s4 and now we've moved on to the htc droid DNA now both are 5-inch 1080p phones both have the same pixel density of 441 PPI but as Samsung likes to tout the display in the s4 is Super AMOLED while as the display in the Droid DNA is an LCD now looking at hardware specs we've actually gone ahead and ran some benchmarks here we did this earlier to take a look at how the specs held up now as you can see the s4 has some truly impressive benchmark numbers in antutu benchmark 25900 compared to the Droid DNA's 20500 94 this is the handsome part to the much more powerful processor in the s4 we're not sure if this is the processor that the device is going to ship with but what is in this very phone right here is a 1.9 gigahertz Qualcomm processor it's unconfirmed what build this is but we do know that it's armed v7 architecture while it's in the Droid DNA we have a 1.6 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 pro looking at the rest of the hardware specs we have 2 gigs of ram both devices 16 to 64 gigs of internal storage in the Samsung and only 16 in the HTC Droid DNA moving on to the cameras the Samsung Galaxy s4 has a 13 megapixel camera in the rear and a 2 megapixel camera up front while the Droid DNA only has a 8 megapixel camera in the rear and 2 up front looking at Android versions the HTC Droid DNA only runs 4.1.1 jelly bean while the Samsung runs the newest version Android 4.2.2 now while the batteries not been as bad as some people think it was never one of the selling points of the Droid DNA at only 2020 milliamp hours the samsung galaxy s4 on the other hand has quite a bit of a heftier battery at 2600 milliamp hours now well both phones as you can see are similar in size the s4 is significantly lighter than the HTC Droid DNA weighing in at just 130 grams now one thing that may be a killer for people talking about the limited storage in the Droid DNA is that it has no microSD slot which means you can't expand the memory and you can't replace the battery which can be problematic both of those are not a problem in the Samsung Galaxy s4 it can accept microSD cards up to 64 gigs and it has a replaceable battery alright this is Chris work from Android authority we've still got more phones to bring you so stay tuned
