HTC Magic Vs iPhones

There is something about the iPhone, taking in account so many comparisons are made with this device in mind. No matter the iPhone we are dealing with, 3G, 3GS, 4 or 4S, they are all stunning and a big success within users. Competition is getting tougher and tougher as other models are coming up, with powerful features inside and it seems that it isn’t so easy to pick out a phone anymore. The HTC Magic vs. iPhone 3GS is more of a comparison in case you can’t decide between the two and you want to see each flaws and benefits. So let’s dig in the subject and see how things are running around.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Let’s start with the touch screens. Both phones have capacitive screens, but the iPhone 3GS has a larger screen, 3.5” compared to 3.2” of HTC Magic. Even though the resolutions are the same, 480x320, the iPhone’s screen is really something, has vivid images and looks amazing. It is sharp and runs everything smoothly. HTC Magic has a 528 MHz Qualcomm chipset inside and it runs slick and pretty fast, it keeps up with your speed of browsing and typing. Now let’s move on to connectivity. The iPhone 3GS has HSDPA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. But HTC Magic takes over with 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. You can use Bluetooth in a wide area of functions, whereas the iPhone can only hook up with hands-free kits and Bluetooth headsets. Even though the iPhone has a 3.5mm headphone jack, HTC has a mini USB port, instead of the proprietary connector of the iPhone. When it comes to controls, HTC Magic beats Apple’s 3GS, with a row of dedicated search bar, menu and the back button directly under the screen, along with the end/send call keys, trackball with the enter button. On the left side of the Magic you can find the volume control, but no dedicated camera key. Apple has more external controls, which is really useful if you keep your phone in your pocket and you want to have control without getting into settings and menu.


Both mobile phones have up to 16GB storage, but the iPhone comes in versions, the 8GB or 16GB version, so there is no way to expand the memory capacity and the prices varies according to the model you choose. HTC Magic has a microSD expansion slot and you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. Moreover, it was a big disappointment for Apple users to have just a 2 megapixels camera that didn’t even shoot nice photos. HTC Magic gave in for a 3.2 megapixels camera, with autofocus, high resolution and many options, so the camera situation is definitely a plus for HTC. The iPhone 3GS is an excellent music phone, thanks to iTunes, from where you can get music and listen to whatever you want. You can shuffle through music tracks and the formats of the files are much better. HTC Magic runs on Android and thus you have some applications and games to feast upon, taking in account that Android is the top operating system at the moment.


To conclude, there is a tight battle between HTC Magic vs. iPhone 3GS, but in the end, it is a matter of how you prefer things. If you fancy the iPhone’s interface, sleek design, curved back, great user experience, then that is your phone to have. But if you prefer Android instead and you like how HTC designs phones and you want a better camera, then you know the answer.
