they are both made out of aluminum and polycarbonate and glass and they both have fancy names for the cameras ultra pixel PureView one runs Android the other one runs Windows Phone eight so let's see how they compare if you want to know every detail on aspect of the HTC One make sure to check out our full review in case you missed it this version right here is the international flavor of the HTC one just like the Nokia Lumia 925 which will make its way to t-mobile in the US hopefully soon we have also just recently compared the Lumia 925 with the octa-core Samsung Galaxy s4 and now it's time to put it against HTC's 2013 flagship this comparison will focus on the following hardware software and user experience as well as camera the Nokia Lumia 925 is a breath of fresh air with a design which is both old and new Nokia windows film fans will instantly recognize this as a Lumia device but the company made some welcome tweaks it is no longer the tank the Lumia 920 was instead it's more refined and the combination of aluminum and soft touch polycarbonate resulting a great in-hand feel once you get used to the fairly square shape the HTC One on the other hand is something completely new to the untrained eye it might look somewhat like the iPhone 5 or the BlackBerry z10 but it feels exceptionally in the hand the full aluminum body is cold to the touch at first and the tapered edges are complemented nicely by the slight curve on the back that feels your palm when you hold it because of the slightly more curved design on the edges the HTC One feels really good but the Lumia 925 has that certain genetic walk which makes you fall in love with it more and more every day as you're getting used to the squared shape looking at the specs requires us to understand the basic OS principles and the relationship between them and the horsepower needed when this film was built in such a way that it just like iOS simply needs less specs to deliver a fluid user experience the Lumia 925 is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5 gigahertz helped by 1 gig of ram it has 16 gigabytes of internal storage with no expansion options Wi-Fi Bluetooth NFC and a non-removable 2000 milliamp hour battery the entire front part is Gorilla Glass 2 under which Nakia packed a 4 when five inch peer motion HD + clear back display with 768 by 1280 resolution for a PPI rating of 332 the camera is pure view version 2 at 8.7 megapixels with carl zeiss lens coupled with a 1.3 megapixel front fascia the HTC One is powered by the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor clocked at one point seven Hertz there are two gigs of RAM and this unit is the 32 gigabyte flavor non-expandable sensors include Bluetooth Wi-Fi NFC and an IR blaster alongside a non removable 2300 million power battery on the front there's a 4.7 inch Super LCD 3 screen a Full HD resolution and the PPI rating of 469 the camera is a 4 megapixel air quotes ultra pixel unit and it has a 2.1 megapixel webcam correspondent on the front oh and boomsound offers the best speaker and loudspeaker experience we have ever heard on a mobile device ever it is really difficult to choose the best display among the two the Lumia 925 being an AMOLED screen has really popping colors and shoe blacks while the HTC One has a very natural realistic color reproduction with somewhat less pronounced blacks if we factor in exceptional outdoor visibility for both of these the choice becomes even more difficult we'll have to give it to the HTC One because of its true-to-life colors better side viewing angles and higher resolution looking at the software and user experience of an Android phone compared to a Windows Phone is always difficult since each of the two platforms is everything the other one is not Sense 5 nicely complements the user experience on Android that's not to say that the stock Android UX is lacking we're not talking about skinning Android here sense 5 is so much more the live picture gallery the ability of snapping Zoe's video highlights Beats Audio blinkfeed are all part of the HTC experience of course there will be a Google Edition phone but the one is a real one because of Sense 5 Windows Phone on the Lumia 925 still looks fresh different live tiles flipping on your homescreen bring your phone to life and keep you up to date with what's important the hubs nicely gather all the information you need in a single place and on an exceptional screen like the one on the Lumia 25 everything seems to float on the absolute black background similar to HTC Sense 5 on the one Nakia is both filling in the OS gaps and offers additional user experience elements the here shoot Nakia music the camera and add-on applications are all great steroids for Windows Phone on the Lumia 925 but as always there's the ecosystem question always a debate will insert the usual disclaimer here before purchasing any of these phones make sure to research the ecosystem and what each has to offer both in terms of software titles and services the camera on the Lumia 925 is a peer review camera no not the stage one per view on the 808 with version 2 the low-light sensitivity and optical image stabilization peer review from the Lumia 920 there's an 8 point 7 megapixel sensor coupled with carl zeiss lens nokia threw in a 6 lines in addition to the camera construction of the 920 to make pictures look even better the viewfinder on Windows Phone is so minimalistic that it is missing any indicators that you're shooting in a special mode luckily it reversed the default upon launching it again so you don't miss a shot because of previous settings or modes there is however support for lenses no not physical lenses but software lenses add-ons for the camera that improve functionality nokia bundled its own Nakia smart cam which assists you in taking special shots like best shot action shot motion blur best face and the ability to remove unwanted objects on top of everything there's always the dedicated shutter release button which is April requisite on Windows Phones unfortunately a very rare option on other devices the HTC one's viewfinder is packed with options from live effects to custom modes and you always know which mode you're in because of the graphical representation on the screen just like on the Lumia 925 with the nokia smart cam HTC can deliver a cornucopia of shooting modes through Zoe's shooting consecutive frames allows the user to do everything that the Lumia 925 user can and more for an in-depth look at the camera features on the HTC one make sure to read our full review as well as watch our HTC One special camera and gallery video we will compare camera quality between these two phones and others in an upcoming dedicated camera oriented shootout so make sure to subscribe to our social media channel so you don't miss it but you came here for a comparison and what would a comparison be without sample images so here they are in bright sunny outdoors they both deliver exceptional results the Lumia 925 delivers superior pictures though despite the ultra pixel camera that is supposed to take more light and than any other shooter the one is no match for the Lumia 925 in low-light poorly lit situations exceptional sensitivity and optical image stabilization result in a far superior low-light experience the Lumia 925 simply loves the dark wear itself starts to shine to wrap everything up there is no real winner here aside from the user you can't go wrong with either of these two phones they're both exceptionally designed and built and are a joy to use however you'll have to consider that the Lumia 925 s camera is slightly superior to the camera on the HTC One by all means not a bad camera this one which could have been better in some aspects that plus your choice of Windows Phone versus Android which is a choice only you can make based on your personal preference and needs
