Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: xFlash at none against Device Detector's shown. xFlash also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 49%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Device Detector's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 135). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
