Huawei Ascend P7 vs HTC One M8 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Sony Xperia Z2
Huawei has joined the 2014 flagship show with the launch of the Ascend P7 at a special event in Paris.
The
Chinese firm is still trying to grow its presence in a market which is
dominated by the likes of Samsung and Apple, plus with HTC and Sony also
launching high-end devices this year Huawei has its work cut out to
keep up.
We've brought together the Ascend P7, One M8, Xperia Z2 and Galaxy S5 to see how they all shape up. Which one takes your fancy?
Design
The phone that really stands out in terms of design is the HTC One M8. Its impressive metal unibody, rounded corners and curved back make it a joy to hold and it oozes premium quality.
That said the Sony Xperia Z2
isn't far behind with a sturdy, industrial design which may well appeal
to some more than the M8 - although the sharper corners and flat rear
mean it doesn't sit as nicely in the hand. The One M8 oozes premium qualityOn
to the Huawei Ascend P7 and you'll find it keeps up the premium appeal
with Gorilla Glass 3 covering its front and rear, sandwiching a metal
frame. At just 6.5mm in depth, the Ascend P7 is also the thinnest
handset out of the four.
Bottom of the pile in terms of design is the all-plastic Samsung Galaxy S5. It's by no means shoddily put together, with a high build quality, but it does look and feel cheaper than the other three.
If
you're looking for a smartphone which has a bit more resilience to it
then both the Xperia Z2 and Galaxy S5 are dust and waterproof - perfect
for long baths or when you get caught in a downpour.
Screen
Full HD resolutions are the order of the day for all four flagships here, and screen sizes range from 5 to 5.2 inches.
The
biggest of the lot is the Sony Xperia Z2 with a 5.2-inch display, while
the Galaxy S5 sports a 5.1-inch screen and the Ascend P7 and One M8
make do with 5 inches. The Galaxy S5 has an eye popping displayThat
means the Huawei and HTC handsets have an ever so slightly greater
pixel density of 441ppi (Huawei is claiming 445ppi), compared to 432ppi
on the S5 and 424ppi on the Z2.
In real terms this
doesn't mean a great deal as all of the screens are exceptional sharp,
although the Galaxy S5 stands out thanks to the Super AMOLED technology
which really makes colours pop.
There's
a lot of power between the four handsets and the Xperia Z2, Galaxy S5
and One M8 all share the same quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and
Adreno 330 GPU.
The S5 has the 801 clocked slightly
faster than its rivals at 2.5GHz, while the Z2 and M8 make do with
2.3GHz. The Xperia Z2 wins the RAM race packing in 3GB, while the M8, S5
and Ascend P7 feature 2GB each. The Xperia Z2 sports 3GB of RAMWe've
extolled the virtues of the 801 processor in our reviews, as it
delivers impressive performance and battery life. Head over to the
Ascend P7 and things are a little more unknown.
It's
packing a 1.8GHz quad-core processor from HiSilicon - a firm which
Huawei owns - as well as a Mali 450 GPU. It's lower powered and the
overall operation isn't quite as slick as its rivals.
Operating system
The good news when it comes to operating system is all four phones are running the latest version of Google's platform - Android 4.4 KitKat.
None of the handsets are running the stock version you find on the Nexus 5 however, with each manufacturer putting its own stamp on the software.
The
Galaxy S5 comes equipped with Samsung's now familiar TouchWiz UI, which
is heavy on pre-installed apps (and bloatware) while also providing a
whole host of additional features.
HTC's new Sense 6
overlay graces the One M8, and like TouchWiz it's a heavy skin with
plenty of additional features - including BlinkFeed - and applications.
It's a more attractive offering which we find easier to use.
Sony's
UI doesn't come with a fancy name and it isn't as detailed as Samsung's
and HTC's offerings. The lighter skin allows more of the natural
Android interface to shine through and things are a lot less cluttered. The Emotion UI on the P7 is a little childishThe
interface which has seen the most tinkering by a manufacturer though is
probably Huawei's Emotion UI 2.3 on the Ascend P7. The Chinese firm has
completely removed the app draw in favour of having all your
applications on the homescreens.
For those who are new to
Android it is a simpler implementation which may be easier to learn,
but Android stalwarts may find in frustrating. The other issue with
Emotion UI is its design - everything looks a bit childish and that
detracts from the overall experience.
If we were to rank
the overlays it would go Sense 6, Sony UI, TouchWiz, Emotion UI 2.3 -
although the top three are easily interchangeable depending on
preference.
