you're missing the point. They are comparing the phone which also means if you loved the S3, then you won't be dissapointed. It is a measurement to some on how much they may like a device. It isn't a boxing match between the two as we all know the specs on the XZ is far superior.

And when the SGS4 comes out it's no longer fair to compare it to the XZ, but instead you need to wait for the next thing from Sony, and so on. The XZ is going to be almost 4 months old when the SGS4 comes out. Consumers don't want to compare things that are unknown, but what is available at the moment of purchase, and right now the XZ is a better phone than the SGS3.

they should compare it to note 2, but overall the ZL is still looks like a all around better device, its 5" screen brings to closer to note 2 yet at much higher resolution and yet the phone size is even smaller than note 2 little brother the s3. Only one fully revealed contender is the m7, or the droid dna or butterfly j that are both already out.

I dont says that xz is not good, i think is wonderfull, and i dont like s3.
But is somehow stupid to compare to old device (when xperia s comes out, they compared it to s2).
Keep comparing to new devices. Even if Z or S4 win, dosent mather, cuz i will go for xz.

Reviews are mostly BS. I seen the Z at CES, ordered one... simple.

True for most sites...

But reviews from respectable sites like: Anandtech.com / GSMarena.com
Who actually objectively test things like sound quality, camera quality or power consumption instead of just giving opinions or marketing BS are really necessary addition.
