After two years with the HTC Incredible S, the phone's USB port has broken for the second time, forcing a change decision. The contenders are:
1. HTC Butterfly. 2. Sony Xperia Z. 3. HTC One.
Discussions of Pros/Cons:
Screen size: HTC B=SXZ>HTC 1.
Display (PPI, Brightness/contrast/technology): HTC1>HTC B>SXZ.
Processors/RAM/GPU: HTC 1>SXZ=HTC B.
Battery: SXZ>1>B.
Build quality/aesthetics: SXZ=1>B.
Root/boot loader unlock able/ CID Unlock able: SXZ>>1&B. This aspect is most important for future usability once OEM discontinues support (ref HTC HD2).
Memory/storage: SXZ (16+32/64)=B(16+32/64)>1(32/64, only 32 planned in India, as yet).
Price low to high, India only, sim-free, carrier-free: SXZ>1>B.
After solving the matrix, I've come to the conclusion that I'll buy the SXZ. Your comments/advice?

PS.The same question is also posed on the SXZ,HTC B AND HTC 1 Indian buyer forums.
