HTC One V vs Samsung Galaxy Ace 2

HTC One V vs Samsung Galaxy Ace 2-Samsung by beating Apple is now the largest smartphone vendor in the world. HTC, Nokia, Motorola are there up in the list as well. Disappointingly, no one is even close to Samsung apart from Apple. However, HTC has released some quality droids running with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. HTC Sense 4.0 UI and Android 4.0 ICS are hopefully the best combination one can get. The same UI is used in high end HTC One X and in One V. So, in this comparison HTC One V gets an edge straight away in resource utilization. Galaxy Ace 2 is running with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and no sign of upgrade to Android 4.0 ICS so far. But when processing capability is concerned Galaxy Ace 2 is fast and smooth. It has more amount of RAM to exploit.

Well, One V is slimmer, lighter and attractive. There is not much of difference in display size and quality. However, One V seems to have slightly better display and higher pixel density in display which means slightly more vivid and prominent imaging quality. Although both these droids sport 5 MP rear facing shooter Galaxy Ace 2 is better as a camcorder. It records HD quality video at 720p whereas HTC One V records VGA quality video. 1500 mAh battery is Ace 2 is also powerful as compared to One V’s 1300 mAh battery.
