A large number of phones are available in the market but we bring you some of the best selfie smart phones that you can choose from. Today the competition is between the HTC Desire Eye, the One Plus One and the Sony Xperia C3. Each of the manufacturers claim these phones to be the best selfie phones in the market but which one is better, time to find out.
DESIRE EYE vs ONE PLUS ONE vs XPERIA C3: BUILD QUALITY AND LOOKS
Since all the phones come from branded manufacturers, the quality of material is undoubtedly good. The slimmest of all the three is the Xperia C3 with a thickness of just 7.6 mm. The build quality of the Xperia C3 is quite good but we think Sony failed to give it a more attractive look that can be seen in the One Plus One and the Desire Eye. The One has curved edges which makes it more attractive but makes it look more delicate. The Desire Eye has sturdiness along with curved corners which altogether provides a premium look to the phone.
DESIRE EYE vs ONE PLUS ONE vs XPERIA C3: DISPLAY
Coming to the display, the Desire Eye has the best display of all three with a 5.2 inches screen having a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with 425 ppi pixel density. The One Plus One has got a 5.5 inches screen with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution having a 401 ppi pixel density. The One has got screen protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Xperia C3 has got a lower resolution of 720 x 1280 on a 5.5 inches screen with a pixel density of 267 ppi. But Sony is not behind when it comes to display, Sony has a Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2.0 and triluminos display which gives you a smooth and color rich vivid display altogether. Still the Desire Eye wins the game for the screen size, resolution and pixel density, the fact is the screen size is big and the resolution is good and higher pixel density means more pixel in a screen giving rise to better picture quality.

The Desire Eye and the One has got the same processor and GPU chipset i.e. the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz and the GPU is Adreno 330. Both come with Android v4.4.2 (Kitkat) out of the box but One Plus is offering and upgrade to v4.4.4 along with Cyanogenmod 11S. The Desire Eye comes with its traditional HTC Sense UI.

Coming to the storage, the Desire Eye, the One and the C3 has 16/64GB, 16GB and 8GB respectively. Here, we infer that the One Plus One is a winner with better RAM, processor, GPU and storage. But the Desire Eye does provide a tough competition to the One.
DESIRE EYE vs ONE PLUS ONE vs XPERIA C3: CAMERA
The reason why we are comparing all these three phones is that the companies claim these to be the ultimate selfie smartphones. How ultimate are they, let’s find out. The primary camera of the Desire Eye and One are the same 13MP while that of Xperia C3 is an 8MP. Now coming to the front cameras, the Desire Eye has a got a 13MP shooter along with dual LED flash too. The reason that makes it the real selfie monster is along with camera it comes with preinstalled EYE software from HTC. This software enhances the selfie taking capabilities by incorporating features like face tracking, face fusion, screen share, auto-selfie, split capture, voice-selfie, crop me and photo booth options.
Sony claims that C3 has the best selfie camera naming it as “PROselfie cam” and has installed with numerous selfie apps to make selfie experience more enjoyable. The C3 incorporates an AR effect to add effects such as pirates hats, laser eyes etc. In C3, selfie can be taken by just double tapping the back side of the phone or using Smile shutter. The rear camera has an Exmor RS for image stabilization even in challenging light conditions.
The One Plus One rear camera has Sony Exmor IMX 214 and has 6 lenses to avoid distortion and color aberration, so the result is great images. The front one is a normal 5MP shooter. The drawback is that OnePlus did not provide any special apps for selfie. So, the clear winner for selfie camera is Desire Eye followed by C3. But for Rear camera the winner will be the One Plus One.
