The xperia Z is a fine looking phone! Seriously I've never seen a more sexier back panel.

But I think it falls short in certain areas. I'm also looking to upgrade from my GS2 and to be honest these are the contenders im looking at as well. Although coming from a samsung device im looking for something different so i wont be giving the GS4 a chance. Also im tired of the plastics!

Ive done some extensive research! And from what i gather the HTC One is a complete knockout! Rave reviews all around. People just can't seem to find fault with it. While the Xperia has also been hailed as Sonys best phone...there have been complaints.

Yeah I have been looking at some reviews and while all lean towards the HTC One they do say that it BARELY beats the Xpheria Z. Something about the viewing angles, speakers and comfort are the things that most have a problem with for the Xpheria Z. And with minor differences what really is making me lean towards the Xpheria is the design...

I mean the phone is just SEXY when compared to everything else of the market....so this will be a tough one. Because I am getting a great deal for both $200 for the Xpheria Z and $250 for the HTC One....

Well when i bought my GS2 i also went for the sexy, good looking device I loved the reactions i got when i showed people my phone. But that really does fade after a while, even with an amazing amoled display. Thats my biggest gripe with the Xperia Z - the screen technology just isnt there for me. The contrast ratio is pretty bad compared to amoled on the GS2. The resolution bump will be nice but giving up that contrast ratio is a big deal for me. So you might say then why not just go with the GS4.

Good question. Well i think im tired of touch wiz. Its really a boring design at the end of the day...i also look at the extras Samsung are packing in the GS4 and it just doesnt do it for me (airview, healthy app etc.). On the HTC however i love the new camera features and blinkfeed seems like a brilliant idea for me. Il place my sports, news, twitter, facebook, engadget feeds in that thing and that will be amazing. The xperia z on the other hand hasnt done much when it comes to pushing extra software features. The hardware on the other hand is brilliant. An underwater camera!!! Think of the possibilities. You can search for underwater footage from the Z on youtube btw...beautiful.

I think at this point for me...its all about the software and long term usage. HTC seems to offer legitimate extras that will actually improve the way you use the phone from day to day. And thats where i think im sold. Oh and the design on the HTC One and the Z shits ALL OVER THE S4!
