Tech greats came to the Mobile World Congress 2015 to unveil new devices, with each one jockeying for the position of best smartphone of the year. While HTC wowed the crowds with its newest flagship, the One M9, Lenovo also stood out with its Vibe Shot, a phone that looks like a normal smartphone on the front, but when viewed from the back, one will see what makes this phone unique.

Here, we compare the two devices:

Design:
The Lenovo Vibe Shot rear and front is made out of two pieces of tempered glass connected by a metal frame. The back resembles that of a point and shoot camera, and the phone comes in two colors: Onyx Black, and Pearl White. It measures 5.59 x 2.77 x 0.29 inches and weighs 5.11 ounces.

The HTC One M9 is elegantly crafted, with its all-metal body and gently rounded back. The edge of the phone is a different color from the body, which gives it a dual tone effect. Color options include a gold edge around a silver body, a polished silver edge around a dark grey body, and a polished gold edge around a gold body. The phone measures 5.69 x 2.74 x 0.38 inches and weighs 5.54 ounces.

Features:
When it comes to the display, the One M9 and Vibe Shot basically have the same kind of screen—a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with pixel density count of 441ppi. However, only the Vibe Shot has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 over the display, which makes it scratch-resistant.

The HTC handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, while the Lenovo phone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset. Both phones run on Android 5.0 Lollipop. Both devices also come with 32GB internal memory, which can be expanded up to 128GB with a microSD card.

The One M9 has a 20MP rear camera and 4MP front-facing camera, while the Vibe Shot has a 16MP rear camera and 8MP front-facing shooter.

Price:
Off contract, the HTC One M9 is expected to cost $870, while the Lenovo Vibe Shot costs $349.
