Summary
- The HTC Touch Viva and LG KS20 both feature a 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with the same resolution, but the KS20 supports 256K colors compared to the 65K of the Viva, potentially offering better color depth.
- In terms of performance, the KS20 has a more powerful 400 MHz ARM 11 CPU versus the 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S in the Viva, which may result in smoother operation.
- Both devices have a 2 MP rear camera, but the KS20 includes autofocus, enhancing its photography capabilities.
- The KS20 also has a slightly larger 1050 mAh battery compared to the Viva's 1100 mAh, although both lack fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The HTC Touch Viva runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, while the LG KS20 operates on the earlier version 6.0, which may affect software experience and app availability.
- Build quality-wise, the KS20 is lighter and slimmer than the Viva, making it potentially more comfortable to handle.
