Looks
Optimus L5 II, with its 9.2mm thickness, scores over the others in this department. On the other hand, Xperia U is the thickest with 12mm thickness. However, in terms of colours, Nokia Lumia 520 offers the maximum choice as it comes in Yellow, red, cyan, white, and black clours.
LG Optimus L5 is lightest among the five as it weighs just 103 grams while the Huawei handset has the maximum weight of 150 grams.
Verdict
In terms of performance based on specification, Huawei Ascend G510 is the clear winner here as it has the best processor and RAM. Also, it has the latest Android 4.1 operating system. Though it comes with the biggest battery, it has a lowly Talk time of 5 hours.
Sony Xperia U is one of the best looking phones than the rest but it has a smaller display and battery than others. Also it comes with the older Android 4.0 version. And That’s why though Xperia U has a better processor, it does not scores over the LG Optimus L5 II convincingly.
HTC Desire V is the worst of the lot, as it doesn’t have any clear advantage than the rest. It has a single core processor, no front camera, Android 4.0 and a smaller battery.
Nokia Lumia 520 has the best battery life (atleast as per official claim). It also has good performance and great display. Don’t hesitate by its Windows Phone 8 operating system which is certainly a good operating system.
LG Optimus L5 II has only one issue and that is its single core processor as these days even a Rs 7000 phone from an Indian brand come with a dual core processor. Rest of the features of the phone is really competitive, but what will you do if the phones performance is not up to the mark.
