Specs Comparison: HTC One, Lumia 1020, Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, iPhone 5S and Xperia Z1
The competitors in mobile race are tough. During last 5 years, they have built huge muscles. Some of them are performing very well and a few are facing just bad luck. But this does not means those, who are not performing well, are not good enough to be in the competition. It is just their time has not come yet. If you are looking smartphone for your needs and not for showoff, with so many muscular wrestlers it becomes very difficult to select the right smartphone.
The smartphones HTC One, Nokia Lumia 1020, Google Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S4, Apple iPhone 5S and Sony Xperia Z1 are latest of their kinds. It was quite difficult for me to test all phones because I do not own all of them. Sometime I have to ask my friends to loam me their phones. Help was also taken from official websites of discussed smartphones as well as Wikipedia.org. So, it took me many days to create this smartphones specs comparison table.
