Camera
Sony Xperia Neo L comes with a 5 megapixel autofocus rear camera and a 0.3 megapixel front camera for video chat. The rear camera can record high definition video in 720 x 1280 pixel at 30 frames per second. It has features like auto focus, touch focus, geo-tagging, video light, and send to web. There is an LED flash to aid low light shooting. The 5 megapixel camera captures colours appreciably, but the images get blurred if you zoom in on them on the PC. The biggest heartbreak is the lack of zoom functionality, which would definitely irritate many. HTC Desire X comes with a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash as well. Also, it has functionalities like continuous shot, geo-tagging, multi-shot, and pinch-to-zoom - some of these features are not there on the Neo L.
Battery
The Sony Xperia Neo L impressed us with its long battery life when we reviewed it. It comes with a Li-Po, 1460 mAh battery that, according to Sony, provides talktime of close to eight hours and standby time of 575 hours. In real time testing also, its battery lasted longer than we expected. The HTC Desire X too comes with a promising 1650 mAh Li-ion battery that claims to provide 10 hours' talktime even on 3G network, which is definitely commendable, if it is true.
Conclusion
The biggest advantage of HTC Desire X over all the qualities we've listed so far is its newness. The Desire X has recently been released in India and thus has freshness on its side. It also resembles the One X, which has been regarded as the best looking Android phone till date even against Samsung Galaxy SIII. No doubt, along with its flaws the Sony Xperia Neo L also has its pros like long battery life, good music abilities and Xbox certification, which would appeal to many users.
