Samsung Galaxy S Duos vs HTC Desire V: This is a comparison between two mid-range dual sim smartphones. Galaxy S Duos is the only smartphone available in market with some cool features. It runs on Android 4.0. Soon it will be upgraded to v4.1.1 JellyBean. Rest of the Samsung handsets with dual sim support are available in lesser price segment with considerably poor specs. That’s the main reason Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos is coming in market to make the best out of the keen competition out there in dual sim segment.
However, in 15-20k segment HTC has is one of the best choices for you especially when you are passionate about music. Beats Audio Amplified Desire V comes with standard specs. Nothing fancy is there apart from the Beats Audio Sound Enhancement. That may be the reason people do not often tend to buy a dual sim smartphone by paying 16k when it’s running ICS OS, single core processor, 512 MB RAM.
