In
my last post I drew a comparison between Spice’s soon to be releasing, Stellar
Craze Mi-355 and Samsung’s Galaxy Y. We found out that the Spice Stellar Craze
is not just a better phone but is a thousand bucks cheaper than the other
handset. Today I am going to put it against the other market ruler, the
Wildfire S from HTC, which is a force to reckon with in the smartphone world
globally. So let’s jump into a head to head comparison, without further ado.
Look
and Feel
The
Wildfire S has a screen size of 3.2 inch whereas the Spice Stellar has a 3.5
inch screen but the 119x64x12 mm dimension of the
Spice handset is such that it can neither be called ergonomic nor stylish,
though the makers have tried to give it a rectangular iPhone like look but they
seem to have not been so successful with their endeavor. Wildfire S all the
way.
CPU
and RAM
In
the CPU segment the HTC Wildfire S comes packed with an 600MHz, seconded by a 512MB
RAM processor and in reply the Spice Stellar has a conspicuously superior
processor of 800MHz, which is well complimented by a 512 MB RAM. No need to say
that the Spice Stellar is more powerful here.
Storage
capacity
The
expandable storage capacity of either of the handsets is 32GB but the internal
storage capacity of the Wildfire S, which happens to be 418MB, is almost three
times bigger than that of the Spice handset. Wildfire S.
The
3.5 inch LCD TFT screen of Spice Stellar Mi-355 has a 480x320 p resolution,
which makes the images and visuals crispier and interesting. The other handset
in question, the HTC Wildfire S houses a 3.2 inch screen, has the same
resolution as Stellar thus has a higher ppi. This goes as a draw.
Camera
The
most amazing thing about the Spice Stellar Mi-355 is the presence of a
secondary camera that is a rarity in its price bracket. Now, both the handsets
house a 5MP primary camera, HTC has a LED flash, which is replied befittingly
by a dual LED flash of the other handset. With a camera on the front side the
Stellar wins, wins by a margin.
Connectivity,
Battery, and OS
In
the connectivity segment both the handsets have 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB
connectivity. Battery spec of the HTC Desire S says that it has a standard
1230mAh Li-Ion battery, which is significantly smaller than the 1420mAh battery
of the Spice Stellar Mi-355.
Both
the handsets are Android driven handsets and both of them run the same version
of the OS, Android Gingerbread.
The
Verdict
Yes,
the form factor of the HTC is better so is the Storage capacity, but are these
the specs and is the difference so big that the we should pay additional four
thousand(Spice is priced at 6k and HTC at 10K), the answer is NO.
The
Spice Stellar has a front camera, better battery, bigger display, and faster
CPU, which make it a better handset. And the dirt cheap price tag is the icing
on the cake. All green for the Spice Mi-355, thumbs up.
