Taiwanese handset maker HTC unveiled its flagship HTC One smartphone in London and New York City a few weeks ago.

One of the the main features of 'HTC One' is its 2.0-ultrapixel rear camera (equivalent to 4.0-megapixel), but don't get fooled by the number. The company claims that its camera is more futuristic than the conventional high-resolution camera totting smartphones.

Apart from superior display resolution and ultra-pixel camera, does HTC's latest offering have any other tricks in its bag to ace Apple's masterpiece?

Here is a breakdown of comparison between HTC One and iPhone 5:

Remarks:

HTC One sports a super LCD 3 display with pixel density of 468 pixels per inch, which is one of highest display resolutions making iPhone 5's retina display look ordinary.

HTC One's quad-core processor further extends its lead over rival iPhone 5, which boasts a slower dual-core processor.

In terms of mobile operating system, HTC One is expected to come with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean out-of-box, where as iPhone 5 has received an updated iOS 6.1 OS. They both stand even in this department as both platforms boast a huge collection of apps.

Thanks to the Apple brand, iPhone 5 has recorded huge sales around the world. But it remains to be seen whether HTC will be able to create the same fan following as its rival.
