Videos: Nokia Lumia 900 vs HTC Titan II

I found Lisa’s review the other day and since then a couple more comparisons showed up between the Nokia Lumia 900 vs the Titan II. Both very similar in operation but arbitrarily amongst the WP fans (on WMPU) the Nokia Lumia 900 is one chosen in preference. I’d say the HTC has its merits – the camera is said to be very good and on my personal preference, I can handle the larger screens (for some even the 900 is already too big). Size wise, to to the nature of this design to waste space, is only marginally smaller (at least as it appears to on camera) than the Titan II.

The  Nokia Lumia 900 is (perhaps subjectively?) the more attractive phone by a lot of people’s opinions, rivalling that of the iPhone. In Lisa’s opinion, this unique design just looks like nothing else (well apart from Nokia’s own phones). Lisa likes the 900 for being new and different.

Lisa says in terms of speed, she cannot tell the difference between the 1.4GHz 900 and the 1.5GHz Titan II. They’re both super speedy.

Now Pocketnow’s take. They’re more technical with the tests. In a benchmark for speed, the Titan II got 98 whilst 900 got 85. Is this actually noticeable in real life usage? Lisa already said no. Note on their browser speed test, the 900 looks to have fractionally loaded faster and hence Adam pointing out ‘not a huge difference’. Similarly, loading a game ‘Angry Birds’ started faster. It may be due to a slight quicker press on the 900? I don’t know but you can see there the extra 100Hz makes no difference for the HTC. Maybe it helps drain the battery better.

There’s a screen test  – this is often difficult to show on camera when most fail on giving the right exposure for both phones. The first test showing Nokia’s blacks to be just black and HTC’s black to be a wash of dull dark grey. Nokia’s is so dark apparently you can’t tell the difference between that and the bezel. Whites however apparently brighter on Titan II whilst grey on the 900.

Does HTC Locations use NAVTEQ maps? In this comparison between the Titan II and the Nokia Lumia 900, Nokia Drive is missing a road that is there on the HTC! What?!
