As far as smartphones in the modern context are concerned, users have their own preference and likings while investing on a brand new handset that will compliment the money spent on it.

 

However, that's not always the case as most of the times users end up spending on a device without any background research on it, only to eventually sell it out for something better in return. But while that keeps happening, the smartphone business keeps rolling in the background with more new devices happening.

HTC Desire 516 Vs Xolo Q1100: Specs Comparison

The market, if you have been following it closely, isn't really attached to the higher end of the market, although it constitutes for more of the glamor factor. In fact, most of the action happens all the way down in the low and mid range of the market.

Keeping that action on a positive trail, two devices that are currently trying to make it big in the market in the not-so-costly department are the new HTC Desire 516 and the previously released Xolo Q1100.

While HTC has already found a bit of ground, although in the upper range, with its HTC One (M8) handset, it still needs to make some kind of a ground in the lower end of the market. Xolo, on the other hand, is looking to mirror the success of Micromax in the market and coming up with new devices that will offer a sort of face-lift for the company.

So if we were to keep out all other devices out of the context for the moment, who do you think will stand out as the winner when both the HTC Desire 516 and the Xolo Q1100 are compared against each other? We take a closer look.
