The market is plagued with several midrange phones, but when it comes to the elite class, there are two models that stand out from the rest: HTC One Mini 2 and iPhone 5S.

Both smartphones are regarded as the best in their leagues.

PC Advisor called HTC One Mini 2 as the "best HTC smartphone" ever made, while the eighth-month iPhone 5S outsold Galaxy S5 in its first full month of sales.

If being great is no longer in question, the one concern left is which one fits your lifestyle and needs perfectly.

Dubbed as the "most grippable" Android phone ever, the metal-clad HTC One Mini 2 is packed with impressive multimedia features.

This smartphone is perfect for the "selfie" generation with its 5MP front-facing camera with Touch Up functions to enhance lighting and skin tones.

Sound tripping is boosted by HTC BoomSound technology that will make users forget they ever need speakers, because of its built-in amps, bass-to-treble balancing and large speaker chambers.

The HTC BlinkFeed feature makes access to contents online a walk in the park.

HTC One Mini 2 sports a 4.7-inch screen with HD720 display, 13MP rear-facing camera and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400.

Apple's best ever on the other hand takes pride on its powerful hardware and processing system and fingerprint identity sensor technology.

Apple's iPhone 5S carries A7 chip with 64-bit architecture and M7 motion processor.

The iPhone 5S pales in comparison with HTC One Mini 2's camera features (8MP rear camera and 1.3 MP front camera), but its Retina Display is something worth mentioning.

For consumers who need a relatively more affordable smartphone with stunning audiovisual technology for everyday use, HTC One Mini 2 is a perfect fit.

For those who need speed, performance and power for professional use, iPhone 5S is an easy choice.
