Pixel density
Pixel density - The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is. | 441 ppi | 468 ppi | 441 ppi |
Technology
Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays. | IPS LCD | S-LCD 3 | Super AMOLED |

| Flash | Dual LED | LED | LED |
| Aperture size
Aperture size - The aperture of a camera is the opening through which light travels before it reaches the camera sensor. The smaller the number is, the bigger this opening is, allowing for more light to pass. | F2.0 | F2.0 | F2.2 |
| Focal length (35mm equivalent) | 28 mm | 28 mm | 31 mm |

| Hardware | |||
|---|---|---|---|
System chip
System chip - Most modern handsets use an advanced chip that includes many of the device’s hardware modules like the processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and sometimes even the wireless radio. This field shows what particular system chip (or System-on-a-Chip) is used in the phone. | Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 | Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T | Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T |
Processor
Processor - The processor is the main computing component of a phone and is a major factor when it comes to the overall speed of the device. Some more powerful smartphones use dual-core and quad-core processors designed to deliver greater performance. | Quad core, 2300 MHz, Krait 400 | Quad core, 1700 MHz, Krait 300 | Quad core, 1900 MHz, Krait 300 |
| Graphics processor | Adreno 330 | Adreno 320 | Adreno 320 |
System memory
System memory - System memory, or RAM memory is the type of memory that the device uses to temporarily store data from the OS or currently-running apps. The more RAM available to the device, the better the performance will be when multiple or heavier programs are running. | 2048 MB RAM / LPDDR3 | 2048 MB RAM (Dual-channel) / DDR2 | 2048 MB RAM (Dual-channel) / LPDDR3 |

CDMA
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access. A technique of multiplexing, also called spread spectrum, in which analog signals are converted into digital form for transmission. For each communication channel, the signals are encoded in a sequence known to the transmitter and the receiver for that channel. The foremost application is digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS band. CDMA phones are noted for their excellent call quality and long battery life. | 800, 1900 MHz | ||

Sad how the 2013 flagships are so much better than this years crops because they had respectable size.

Thanks for letting me know. I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere, so I asked. (It's gone that's why it wasn't mentioned. Still, I wanted to confirm.)
Why the sad face. I am happy Beats Audio is gone. Good Riddance. Audio Quality belongs (mostly) to hardware.

HTC just took their previous year model, made it uglier, gave it a marginally better processor, and a EVO 3D camera. and hope it would turn their company around from bankruptcy.
How hard is it get rid of of the stupid logo, give it a bigger battery Doesn't it already have a aluminum unibody?why not it give it a bit water resistance and wireless charging while they are at it? this is IMHO a half-baked product. bye HTC. Nexus 6 awaits

So they removed Optical Image Stabilization in favor of a gimmicky refocus, very bad. & still 4 megapixels. :(
Will have to wait & see how the Moto X2 camera is.
