Summary
- The HTC Hero CDMA features a 3.2-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, while the Sony Xperia go has a slightly larger 3.5-inch LED-backlit LCD display with the same resolution, resulting in a lower pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the Hero is powered by a 528 MHz single-core CPU, whereas the Xperia go offers a dual-core 1.0 GHz processor, providing better multitasking capabilities.
- Both devices have a 5 MP rear camera, but the Xperia go supports 720p video recording, which the Hero does not.
- The Hero has a 1500 mAh battery capacity compared to the Xperia go's 1305 mAh, but the latter benefits from a more efficient chipset.
- Software-wise, the Hero runs Android 2.1 with Sense UI, while the Xperia go ships with Android 2.3, upgradable to 4.1.2, offering a more modern user experience.
- Build quality favors the Xperia go with a lighter weight and slimmer profile, although both lack water resistance.
