HTC M7: We’d initially heard that the M7 would feature a 5-inch display, but now we’re expecting it to be just 4.7-inches. Even though this makes it smaller than the Galaxy S3’s 4.8-inch screen, it is expected to have full HD capability, producing images at 1080p. Powering the M7 is a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor and 2 GB of RAM, making it the most powerful among these 3 phones. We can also see the M7 running Android Jelly Bean 4.2 with a new version of HTC Sense overlay. In terms of camera, we hear that the M7 would have a 13 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera, both of which would have full HD 1080 capabilities. Samsung Galaxy S3: Samsung’s flagship bestseller features a 4.8-inch display with a 1280X720 pixel resolution. While it is comparable with the M7’s display, its tech specs lag far behind. The Galaxy S3 is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and 2 GB of RAM. Even in terms of camera power, its 8 MP rear camera and 1.9 MP front-facing camera can’t be a match to that of the M7’s cameras. The Galaxy S3 runs on Android 4.1, which is older than the OS we would get to see on the M7. Apple iPhone 5: Apple’s latest iPhone failed to make a grand mark in the smartphone market, and will find it even harder when the M7 also launches. With its far from satisfactory 4-inch display having a 1136X640 pixel resolution, it lost out to its competition during 2012. Even in terms of power, the iPhone 5’s 1.3 GHz dual-core Apple A6 processor and 1 GB RAM seems inadequate in comparison with its Android competitors. The iPhone 5 runs on iOS 6, which is a lot smoother than the previous versions, but at the end of the day, does get a little bit boring given that nothing much has actually changed, unlike in the case of Android. While its 8 MP rear camera is comparable with the Galaxy S3, its front-facing camera has a resolution of just 1.2 MP.
