Summary
- The HTC One Remix features a robust build with a slightly larger 4.5-inch Super LCD2 display, offering a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels at ~326 ppi, while the Sony Xperia GX SO has a 4.6-inch LED-backlit LCD display with the same resolution but slightly lower pixel density at ~319 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Remix is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, compared to the dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus in the Xperia GX, which may lead to better multitasking and overall speed in the HTC device.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, but the Remix offers a superior 5 MP front camera versus the 1.3 MP on the Xperia.
- The HTC One Remix also has a larger 2100 mAh battery compared to the 1700 mAh battery of the Xperia GX, providing potentially longer usage time.
- Finally, the Remix runs on Android 4.4.2 with Sense UI, while the Xperia GX operates on an older Android 4.0, which may result in a less refined software experience.
