| Lower SAR for head (EU) | 0.21 W/kg | vs | 1.09 W/kg | 0.88 W/kg lower SAR for head (EU). SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) describes how much radio frequency energy emitted by the device will be absorbed by your body. The rate is measured at head level. The legal limit is 2.0 W/kg in the EU. |
| Distinctly lower SAR for head (USA) | 0.55 W/kg | vs | 1.08 W/kg | 0.53 W/kg lower SAR for head (USA). SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) describes how much radio frequency energy emitted by the device will be absorbed by your body. The rate is measured at head level. The legal limit is 1.6 W/kg in the USA. |
| display | ||||
| Has a Corning® Gorilla® Glass display | Yes | vs | No | Special glass that is durable enough to resist many real-world events that commonly cause glass failure. |
| Modestly bigger screen size | 4.8" | vs | 4.55" | 5.49% bigger screen size. The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience. |
| connectivity | ||||
| Distinctly newer Bluetooth Version | 4 | vs | 3.1 | Newer Bluetooth Version. |
| power | ||||
| More battery power | 2,100 mAh | vs | 1,750 mAh | 20% more battery power. |
| camera | ||||
| Has a built-in HDR mode | Yes | vs | No | It can automatically shoot pictures with an higher dynamic range (HDR). |
| Has manual iso | Yes | vs | No | This allows to manually set the ISO level. |
| Has manual white balance | Yes | vs | No | This allows to manually set the white balance. |
| Has a serial shot mode | Yes | vs | No | You can shoot multiple pictures in a row. |
| Has an image stabilizer | Yes | vs | No | Avoids blurry shots, usually most cameras are equipped with electronic image stabilizers. |
| Appreciably more megapixel (photo, front camera) | 1.9 MP | vs | 1.3 MP | 46.15% more megapixel (photo, front camera). |
| cpu | ||||
| Faster CPU clock speed | 4x 1.4 GHz | vs | 2x 1.5 GHz | 1.87x faster CPU clock speed. |
| lens | ||||
| Significantly wider aperture | f/2.4 | vs | f/2.6 | 7.69% wider aperture. The wider an aperture, the more light the image sensor gets. More light helps avoiding blur by employing a faster shutter speed. Aperture sizes are expressed in f-stops, the smaller the better. In addition, wide lenses provide a narrow depth of field enabling to focus on the subject and blur the background. |
| display | ||||
| Every pixel has three subpixels | Yes | vs | No | The device has three full subpixels per pixel which results in a sharp and crisp picture. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. It may result in less crisp or little blurred image. |
| Displays 3D | Yes | vs | No | The device displays 3D image without any need of wearing special 3D glasses. Special construction of such display allows viewers to get intuitive feeling of image depth by allowing them to move their head to change the perspective and distance to the screen. |
| A trifle higher pixel density | 323 ppi | vs | 306 ppi | 5.56% higher pixel density. |
| camera | ||||
| Has continuous autofocus when recording movies | Yes | vs | No | When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp. |
| Clearly more megapixel (photo) | 13 MP | vs | 8 MP | 1.63x more megapixel (photo). |
| cpu | ||||
| Vastly smaller semiconductor size | 28 nm | vs | 32 nm | 12.5% smaller semiconductor size. A smaller size indicates that the process to create the chip is newer. |
| physical | ||||
| Lighter | 127 g | vs | 133 g | 6 g lighter. |
| Shorter | 131 mm | vs | 136.6 mm | 5.6 mm shorter. |
| Narrower | 68.6 mm | vs | 70.6 mm | 2 mm narrower. |
| Sizably lower SAR for body (USA) | 0.81 W/kg | vs | 1.49 W/kg | 0.68 W/kg lower SAR for body (USA). SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) describes how much radio frequency energy emitted by the device will be absorbed by your body. The rate is measured at hip level. The legal limit is 1.6 W/kg in the USA. |
| A bit less body volume | 77.28 cm³ | vs | 82.94 cm³ | 6.82% less body volume. |
| Has stereo speakers | Yes | vs | No | Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound that surrounds the user from left and right side, creating a richer sound and a better experience. |
| connectivity | ||||
| Vastly faster downloads | 42.2 MBits/s | vs | 21 MBits/s | 2.01x faster downloads. |
| Marginally faster uploads | 5.8 MBits/s | vs | 5.76 MBits/s | 0.69% faster uploads. |
