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.

THis is just not true. Different reviews have complained about different things about both one and Z. 

OT: You really can't go wrong with either option tbh. Different outlets will complain about different things for all these phones. Outside of minor differences key areas will be very comparable. I would say go with Z since you like the design so much and the water resistant can be a neat feature to have. Either way good luck on your purchase

I don't think he can go wrong with either of the 3 as well Mugen.

But I think ive read just about every major mobile review site there is over the last month with a complete focus on the Z vs The One.

Initially i was going with the Z based on the beautiful design alone lol. But after my research id say The One definitely has the edge imo. And the reviews have favoured it more. Even if both are highly regarded.

I also think its a good bet to go with a "next gen" cpu rather than a current one. The HTC one scores double the score of the Z in sythetic benchmarks. Which does have real world benefits. Just my thoughts not trying to push one or the other

Thanks M.U.G.E.N yeah the water resistance seems to be solid from what I read too.

And Shinobi-san see I read that the HTC One has more up to date features but also that the Xpheria Z has some SONY features that can't be found on other phones as well. Also from what I have seen the camera on the HTC is clearer but the colors suffer more...same with video quality. I guess when the guy gets them both in I can play with them side by side to see which one I prefer more. Becaue with the minor differences I think it will boil down to which one I like the interface on more.

Again thanks for the replies!
