We See How The Htc One X And The Zte Era Compare For Looks

If you ask anybody to name a mobile smartphone manufacturer the usual names will normally be mentioned including Apple, Nokia and HTC

. A name that might not pop up quite as regularly is ZTE. ZTE are a Chinese telecommunications manufacturer who are actually the fourth largest mobile phone producer in the world. Over the next two years we are going to be seeing devices made by this company become more popular across Europe and the United States. ZTE's newest smartphone is the Era, a powerful new quad core device that boasts some great features. We see how it shapes up against one of the more popular models currently available, the excellent HTC One X.

Although HTC are not renowned for producing the most stylish mobile devices it is fair to say that the new HTC One X is the best looking handset that they have ever produced. The HTC One X measures 134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9mm and weighs just 130 grammes which is very impressive for a model sporting a large 4.7 inch screen. The handset is actually quite large but it does feel very light when you use it and the slim depth also helps the model feel smaller than it actually is. The model uses a unibody chassis which is constructed from high quality plastics that feel more premium than many of the other models that this company have produced. The phone offers some nicely chiseled edges and gently curved corners which work extremely well with the large display and slim depth. The ZTE Era is also a very nice looking phone. Although we do not have the exact width and height dimensions we can tell you that the model measures just 7.8mm in depth which makes it one of the market leaders in this area. The Era is very similar to the One X in many ways. Neatly curved corners give the phone a pebble like appearance and high quality plastics are used so the device feels great when in use. A particularly striking element of this phones design is the eye catching back panel which is a combination of a stylish silver colour and a very attractive blue. Both of these models impress with their design but we feel that the HTC handset offers a little more in the way of of build quality.

With both of these models being flagship devices in their respective ranges you expect high quality screens to be incorporated and neither model disappoints. A huge 4.7 inch screen makes the HTC One X perfect for multi media fans and it is pleasing to see that quality has not been sacrificed as it often is on many larger displays. This new Super IPS LCD2 panel is capable of producing a very high resolution of 1280 x 720 and a pixel density of 312PPI. The screen is constructed from Gorilla Glass which is a toughened material that is much stronger than the traditional glass that is used on many mobile displays. The ZTE Era uses a smaller 4.3 inch screen which is the same size as can be found on the best selling Samsung Galaxy S2. The ZTE does use a standard TFT LCD panel which does not boast the great viewing angles that can be found on the One X. Resolution wise the model can display 960 x 540 pixels which is very impressive but somewhat lower than the extremely high quality that the HTC phone can produce. In terms of pixel density the Era offers a respectable 256 pixels per inch.

The HTC One X and the ZTE Era are both great smartphones which offer very stylish design. In terms of screen quality the HTC does offer the higher quality of the two models thanks to the newer display technology that is used and the excellent resolution.
