Hard choice? Sony Xperia Z or HTC One

[Kinoal]

Hi Guys!

After spending hours and hours on forum, test etc... I'm currently hesiting between the HTC One or Sony Xperia. I like both disign but I order the Xperia for the moment because good package in belgium. The phone + Bluetooth speaker + Dock for 649 euros.

But the HTC One processor seems better the Sony Xperia?

Please Help me in my choice :'(

Go for Xperia Z, it is better! Htc gives poor user support.

Ok But why it's better? I like both disign what about the processor? Snap Dragon 600 is better than the 400 Pro?

Obviously everyone on Z board will suggest you Z, and HTC One on One board. So ask this question in General forum.

But the best advice really is to test both devices yourself and get the one you like more. Simple as that

If you're sitting on your Phone and like to run Benchmarks all day then go for the HTC.

The processor of the XZ is more then sufficient. Making the choice due to a more overpowered processor seems odd

XZ has water and dust proof with cool camera. And much more functions! Even XZ has 400Pro, keep in mind that HTC Sense takes more memory and heavier.

Lol no I don't care about benchmarks Just bad experience with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Lag ,.. even after changing the rom to cynogen mod.

And I come from the Iphone 5 so I'm hoping for the same fluidity experience than on IOS That's all

I like the "Aluminium" disign on the HTC One but the disign of the Sony Xperia Z White looks incredible too Both are great But just I can't wait until march for the HTC One except if there is a good reason

Please note that the aluminum is easy to be scrached off, and the color when scrached off is different color :/

These are the biggest selling points for each when you compare the two:

Xperia Z

• Lighter, more consistent skin
• Praised, very slim design
• Waterproof
• SD slot
• HDR Video

HTC One

• Slightly faster
• Better display (probably)
• Special camera software (Zoe)
• Better speakers
• More internal memory
• Aluminium body

Just take your pick. For me it was easy, the lighter skin of Sony adds a lot of functionality I really like (good Walkman and Album apps) while HTC's skin is a bit chaotic at times, almost like each app is designed by a completely different team. I don't have any experience with the HTC One in specific but this was the case on all past HTC's with Android and I don't expect it to have changed that much. If you prefer pure speed and hardware power the HTC One is probably the better choice.

If viewing angles and or speakers are important to you take the HTC else take the one you really want

Yeah true. Another point is on my iphone , when I have a call, I always have headshake. All the time. I check on the internet and I see that the DAS of the Iphone 5 is 0,92 and the Sony Xperia Z das is 0,55!!! Almost Half!

That's one of the reason why I want to switch to another phone cause I can't stay with my iphone next to my head more than 3 min or I directly have an headshake

4UP UltraPixel rear camera

If you don't really addicted to the 4UP UltraPixel rear camera and iPhone appearance and Sense TV, I think there is no need to change Sony Xperia Z to HTC One.

 

[Kinoal]

The BIG + of the Sony I think is that you have a SD Port. It Mean that you have have infinite Mémory. Have 2 or 3 SD Card of 32 Go with you in your wallet and store movies etc

 

[xchasa]

Easy choice.
Xperia Z.
I had to Rma 3 one X's and although the screen was amazing and I did like sense, not enough to get me back.
Cant wait to get XZ.

Don't forget about battery life too mate and xperia z is better to me because it has expandable sd card slot

Hooo What do you mean? That the battery of XZ is better?

Yeah the sony look better and no need to wait 4 weeks And the welcome package is better. Bluetooth Speakers and Dock free

Really and truely this isn't going to help you decide I don't think.
My advice is like what I did myself is go and play with the two phones side by side and test everything out side by side and then decide which is better for you.

I could say One is better because XYZ but those could be for my needs not yours or person B will say Xperia Z again same thing that could be because that is what is suited to them.

The end of the day I am putting money into either HTC or Sony's pocket not the other way around - so there is no need for me to be biased about anything.

 

[Kinoal]

I know you right. It's just that It's also so difficult to switch from Iphone 5 to Android cause of my bad experience with the Samsung Tab 2 that I'm hesitate. Firstly I want to buy the XZ because I'm spending a lot of time on my smartphone and the screen of an iphone 5 is a little too small for me.

Now I like the disign of the XZ

Now the most important thing is XZ is the same in term of fluidity than the Iphone 5?? That's my main fear !

Someone says xperia z have hdr, ant htc one dont. That is fake.
Htc one have HDR, and even front camera have HDR.

Also this guys says sd card, that bunch of people talking what they dont even know what they thinking.

I got xperia s (32GB) i have 1500 songs various format, 3000pictures and 2-3 HD movies.
You know what? I got almost 8-10gb to waste. So thing with sd card as pros or cons tell your children not your self.

Sd card was problem before, when phones got low internal memory.
