Comparison review
HTC First has a general score of 62.5, which is slightly better than the Lenovo S850's 56.9 overall score. These devices come with Android OS (operating system), but the HTC First has older 4.1 version and Lenovo S850 has Android 4.2. HTC First is an older and just a little bit thicker phone than Lenovo S850, but HTC was able to make it somewhat lighter anyway.
HTC First has a bit sharper screen than Lenovo S850, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, the HTC First also counts with a little better pixel count per inch of screen. The Lenovo S850 and the HTC First both count with extremely similar memory to store more apps and games, both have the same 16 GB internal memory.
The Lenovo S850 has just a bit better processing power than HTC First, and although they both have a 1 GB RAM memory, the Lenovo S850 also has a greater number of cores (but slower) and a faster graphics co-processor working at 500 megahertz. The HTC First counts with a camera that's just as good as the Lenovo S850 one, although the HTC First has a back facing camera with way less mega pixels resolution.
Lenovo S850 and HTC First count with quite similar battery durations.
The HTC First not only is the best devices of the ones we are comparing here, but it's also a lot cheaper, which makes this phone an obvious call.
