We have compared the current best Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy S II with Google Nexus Prime previously which is yet to be launched. The rivalry HTC too has announced their latest upcoming and the successor of HTC Thunderbolt in the form of HTC Vigor but again the availability of it is not yet revealed by HTC.
Here in this article we would compare HTC Vigor with Google Nexus Prime, both of the devices which are not yet available but rumored. We have the approximate specifications of both the devices and we would just compare them accordingly keeping in mind the features and specifications.
Processor
HTC Vigor – Dual 1.5 core GHz processor
Google Nexus Prime – 1.2 Ghz / 1.5 Ghz dual core processor
Smartphone now has advanced to dual core processing and they come with a minimum of 1.2 Ghz. The Galaxy S2 phone itself has 1.2 Ghz dual core processor thus you can expect higher in HTC Vigor and upcoming smartphones. Both HTC Vigor and Google Nexus Prime has 1.5 Ghz dual core processor for faster operations and provides the best performances.
Operating System
HTC Vigor – Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Google Nexus Prime – Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0
Since the Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system is the latest one, HTC Vigor is updated with the same but Google Nexus Prime has someother plans. The much talked Ice Cream Sandwich OS aka Android 4.0 would be a reality with the launch of Nexus Prime and that is what which makes Nexus Prime as the prime talking point. Still the launch of both HTC Vigor and Google Nexus Prime awaits it and until then it’s not a reality.
Display Screen
HTC Vigor – 4.3 inches capacitive touchscreen display
Google Nexus Prime – 4.6 inches Super AMOLED Plus display
The Google Nexus Prime from the production of Samsung comes with amazing 4.6 inches Super AMOLED Plus display and in comparison to that HTC Vigor goes with 4.3 inches capacitive touchscreen display.
Camera
HTC Vigor – 8 mega pixel rear with dual LED flash and front facing camera
Google Nexus Prime – 5 mega pixel camera on rear side and front camera
Just like HTC never dissatisfies it customers when it comes to camera, the HTC Vigor is very impressive handset with 8 mega pixel rear end camera to take some of the amazing video at 1080p HD and photos with crisp clear quality. The dual LED flash would allow users to take photos in low light conditions as well. Coming to Google Nexus Prime at 5 mega pixel, in comparison with HTC Vigor it’s just Ok.Yes, both the phones includes a front facing camera for video chat.
Memory
Both of them has a microSD card slot to provide expandable memory apart from the internal memory. No exact details of the internal memory are available with us for the both the handsets.
Network & Speed
The Nexus Prime supports 4G wiMax capabilities and with that 3G speed at 21 Mbps is the other specifications worth talk. The HTC Vigor is rumoured to support 4G LTE to provide a top speed of 41 Mbps but again HTC Vigor is rumoured, no confirmed news of the same.
Usability
Google Nexus Prime phone would weight 150 grams approximately when compared to HTC Vigor which weights more than 160 grams. The HTC Vigor would come with HTC Sense 3.0 user interface, something which HTC lovers would like to taste and typically just like other HTC mobile phones the body would be of same plastic.
Battery
The Google Nexus Prime comes with 1750 mAh batter which provides 8 hours of battery life on 3G usage and on the other hand HTC has specified that it will have the standard Lithium ion battery with no extact details.
Price
Nexus Prime gets Verizon as the exclusive possible network carrier and the unlocked, carrier locked devices would be soon made available with the pricing as the launch is very near. Being a top talked devices it’s would be priced at $ 299 in contract with Verizon. HTC Vigor
The Verdict
Also it would be great competition as the Apple iPhone 4S too is lauched very recently so we can expect some tough fight between OS to go and the handset to choose from. HTC Vigor might just be lacking in specifications when compared with Nexus Prime but until we have those handsets available, we can’t comment which one to go with. So I leave this to the readers of Android Advices.
