Summary
- The BLU S1 features a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the HTC Desire 820s has a larger 5.5-inch IPS LCD with the same resolution but slightly lower pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the BLU S1 is powered by a Mediatek MT6750 chipset, whereas the HTC Desire 820s uses the more advanced Mediatek MT6752, offering a higher CPU clock speed.
- Both devices have a 13 MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, but the HTC model benefits from autofocus and a superior 8 MP front camera compared to the 5 MP on the BLU.
- The BLU S1 has a 2800 mAh battery, slightly larger than the HTC's 2600 mAh, but both lack fast or wireless charging.
- Software-wise, the BLU runs Android 7.0 Nougat, while the HTC operates on an older Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Sense UI 6, which may affect the user experience and app compatibility.
