Actually I have been comparing both phones for a while trying to decide which one to get. And the screen on the XZ is FAR from OK at best. It is a BEAUTIFUL screen without a doubt. The HTC just has better viewing angles and has a more vibrent look. The camera on the HTC One takes sharper pictures but the camera on the XZ gives more vibrant colors and more life like as well and outdoors and in light it really outperfoms the camera on the HTC One. The HTC One performs better than ANY phone at night though by a FAR margin. The reason most people are not all that impressed witht he XZ is because thanks to the Gorilla glass coating it can tend to at times make the screen looked a LITTLE washed out when compared to other phones. Sony has cmae back and correct that with the XZL though...


The screen of the HTC One is really nice, and I really like the added Blink feed feature on the home screen which is a bit like the live tiles on the Windows phone which is a feature that I really like on the Windows OS. But camera reviews I've seen for the HTC One have mostly been a bit negative espeecially compared to top end new smartphones like the S4 although the HTC One camera is better than the Xperia. Just read thIs comparison review between the HTC One and S4 (the review for the camera is between page 7-10):

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_htc_one-review-913p7.php

 

Also, the Xperia Z looks likes a really nice phone so Sony's marketing did a great job, but most of the reviews for it have been a little average when compared to the S4 and HTC One. 


from the video that site posted, the HTC One clearly has a better camera than the S4 , the colors on the S4 are very washed out , the frame rate is getting hiccups and there is no ambient sound filter, its like an old digital pocket camera.

I don't know how you're saying the HTC One is worse than S4 here.

The video was showing the stabilization test, and I agree that the One looks better in that video but they did other tests, and the S4 beat the One in the still camera quality, and the low light camera performance. Out of all those categories for the camera, the still camera quality would be most important, and that is why I think HTC messed up the camera of what could have been a pretty much perfect phone.

I've been tempted to get it with a contract for quite some time now, but my xperia play is too awesome of a phone. I can't carry my vita with me, so I tend to use my xperia play (playing Crash Bandicoot) when I wait for a friend or something.


I have a Play too, but the damn thing has so little memory, if It didn't have half a gig of memory I wouldn't have bought any other phone to be honest, since its a great phone, and very durable.

Oh, I know what you mean. The memory is so bad, it's infuriating. But them controls are so kwel...

I have the older version, the Xperia T ("the bond phone") and that's more than good enough as it is. So, Xperia Z is way up there with the best phones, with the improvements that has over the Xperia T.


Full 1080p screen
5inch screen
water/dust resistant
battery stamina mode/ larger battery
quad core 1.5
front camera is full 1080p at 2.2 mp
13mp rear camera has a much faster auto focus and a different lens

the list goes on, such an amazing phone, ive got the xperia s at the moment, waiting till i can get out of it

Indeed, very beautiful and high quality phone all around. I specially like the sound experience while using headphones, that ClearAudio+ engine is something. The screen is just pure, no yellow tint, no pink tint, just pure.
I really like it, and wash it every morning :p


I wonder what headphones you are using, I still need a headphone amp to get decent sound quality (using Sony MDR-1RNC). It's also my only complaint, can't confirm what someone else said about the screen. It's the most beautiful screen in my opinion. I like the more realistic tone of the colours (Bravia Engine of), it's especially a whole lot better than Samsungs OLED-Screens which are just totally overcoloured. But same as audio, when it comes to screens, it comes down to personal opinion.


 No particular headphones really, but when compared to a Laptop or another phone, I find the experience to be much better. Even MH-EX300AP ( the one that comes with the phone ) provides a very good sound quality for me .

Lol where did you get it from?


NOT from X-cite if that's what you're asking xD

From Al - Barrak Group, The official partner of Sony Mobile in Kuwait, got it with tons of screen protections and a bumper.


I got it from Sony Store in Avenues, not from X-Cite either, are you using Viva or Zain? or what? , some people seem to believe that its not an LTE phone , even though it clearly says it is.

What we have here is the C6602 version, which is HSPA+ and GSM band not LTE (C6603). HSPA+ can go very fast though, nealy as good as LTE.

I'm using Wataniya, I have not activated 3G nor I attend to. I have wi-fi connection at both home and work so..

It is true, you would get some heat on the back near the Camera. Not much of an issue though.

true, it gets warm, I heard also if it overheat for using too much apps at once, they will close other apps that you aren't using.

I have not had this though, as I have not tried it.
