So, that’s why T-Mobile priced this handset less than $200. This could be a great bargain for anyone who’re looking for a budget android handset. But as you might already aware of, with low price, you’ll have to do some sacrifice in hardware specs. In our opinion, the $230 price tag for is not reasonable for HTC Amaze 4G, while Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is not deserved to priced at $150. That’s why today, we decided to make a comparison between these two smartphone. Let’s see which one is really deserved all your money.
Design. Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is coated with a chassis that completely made from plastic, while HTC Amaze 4G is packed with aluminum material. Off course we don’t have to explain it to you which one is more solid. No matter how it’s add more weight and thickness, we prefer HTC Amaze 4G for some good reasons.
Apps. Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G packed with some useful apps like Netflix and a magazine reader called as Zinio. But the rest of ‘em are bloatware from T-Mobile. You’ll get similar feature on Amaze 4G. There’s lot of applications that you’re probably never use!
Features. HTC handset is packed with 960 x 540 pixels resolution qHD display. It also support for NFC connectivity. On the other hand, the Galaxy Blaze 4G is manage to run on T-Mobile HSPA 42+ network, which able to provide you with 14Mbps download speed.
Performance. Both of handset manage to provide us with decent system performance. Transition between screens are great. Apps are launched without noticeable delay and we can do several task on the same time. The downside might goes to Blaze 4G’s pricing. With that amount of money, you won’t get any NFC support or HD resolution, which is currently exist in HTC Amaze 4G.
Hardware. Either Amaze 4G and Blaze 4G are powered by 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 CPU from Qualcomm. Blaze only manage to provide you with 4 inch screen, while Amaze 4G has 4.3 inch of it. In addition, it also has dual-cameras, microSD card slot and HDMI output. On the other side, Blaze 4G is only posses microSD card slot and rear shutter.
Software. Both of this handset are currently run on Android Gingerbread. They’re also packed with Samsung’s very own user interface, Blaze with TouchWiz and Amaze 4G with Sense. You should be able to decorate your home screen with some beautiful widgets and other accessory.
Accessories. There’s plenty of additional peripherals available for HTC Amaze 4G since this handset is considered as the carrier’s flagship android phone. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is a new device, so there might be not too many accessories available for this handset.
Cameras. HTC Amaze 4G manage to surpass Blaze 4G in this section. It has an amazing camera that almost equal to an iPhone 4S. The shutter speed are fast and the control system are quite sensitive. In contrast, Blaze 4G photos are tend to blur. Especially when you use the zoom feature. This is quite disappointing for a device that made by one of the biggest player in the industry.
Battery. Blaze 4G packed with smaller dimension, but it has more powerful battery life time than Amaze 4G. Our independent battery test reveal that this handset is manage to survive for up to a day on moderate use.
