We have compared the iPhone 5 to
the previous iPhone generation; likewise it’s unavoidable to not sit thedevice next to the current Android king, the Galaxy S III. It is but natural to
place this Cupertino-based smartphone to one of the best monster-phone around –
the HTC One X.
And we all know that it’s hard to
tell what which of these phones come up to be the best, because it’s hard to
tell which is which basing on the specifications alone. And besides, it all
boils down to the user itself, the user-experience that they want to have and
their own preferences for a phone. So anyways, just in case you would want to
have a side-by-side comparison between the two, check the details below.

Basing on the specifications, HTC
One X is a capable phone but iPhone 5 seems to have overtaken it in some of
points, but points are negligible. The same goes with your preference of
screen-size and unto which platform you are more comfortable with. Price is also one of the deciding factors.
