Hi Friends,

Please advise me to select among HTC Desire 500 & Sony Xperia M Dual.


HTC Desire 500
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 200, quad-core 1.2 GHz
Adreno 203

xperia m dual
Qualcomm® MSM8227 dual-core 1 GHz
Adreno 305

Which processor is better....?

As I am not going to change the phone for the next 2 - 3 years please help me to select good one.

Xperia M dual processor is way superior :)

MSM8227 is S4 Krait Dual Core (between Cortex A9 & Cortex A15).

HTC Desire 500 processor is Cortex A7 quad.

GPU wise same story, Adreno 305 is much more poweful than Adreno 203 which is a low end GPU

I will be basing this time the Sony go for Sony.
They are better off in all sense the touch the sound and also the functionality so I suggest that you opt for Sony. They hardly hang.
