HTC Desire X vs Velocity

Peccavi on 01/03/2013 - 13:47

Saw the HTC Desire X here: http://www.savingsdirect.com.au/htc-desire-x-with-screen-pro…
$259 + $24.50 shipping

I know the Desire X is slightly smaller and lighter than the HTC Velocity, but how does it compare in other areas of performance (aside from 4G speed, and assuming they are both on ICS)?

Is it worth posting as a deal?

    Desire X is

    • Newer (released Aug 2012)
    • Lighter (114g vs 164g)
    • Battery lasts longer

    Velocity 4G has

    • Better screen (4.5" SLCD 960x540)
    • Better camera
    • Better CPU
    • More RAM
    • 4G capability

      Other things to note that the Desire X has

      • Sense 4
      • Only 4GB internal storage compare to the Velocity's 16GB
      • HSDPA is only 7.2Mbps compare to the Velocity's 42.2Mbps
      • No secondary camera
      • Worse GPU

      For $85 you should definitely get the Nexus 4 8GB model. Aside from no 4G or micro sd slot, and average bettery life, it beats these phones by miles. You'd also get updates first and for a lot longer. It doesn't seem like these phones are going to get any more updates.
