This phone is amazing. The One doesn't come close.
The Z is all out balanced in all aspects.

Looking to swap Xperia Z for HTC ONE

- Start date
Funny poor wifi is mentioned here, because in fact, the Z does something amazing for me that no other device has done.
When I walk from my living room to my office at home the Z will drop the weak wifi in the living room and hop straight onto the office wifi hotspot, on my S3, Note, et al I had to use apps to switch wifi networks but they always had flaws, switched at the wrong times, spuriously hopped around between networks and generally drove me mad with toast messages.
Well done Sony for one small but important feature.
As for the HTC One, I can't stand the fact that it looks almost exactly like the Blackberry Z10.

YA ya ya. When I reached home, the wifi will on itself and connect to my home wifi wthout me doing anything.
The XZ supports this with its location based wifi but you could do it with Tasker too

Wow, using WiFi issue as an advantage.
Also you are right about HTC one that it looks similar to z10

He's not using any issues as an advantage as no issues are present on Z. What's he's saying if you read it properly, is that when his WiFi signal is weak at home (not the phone) then it switches to another one which is better. That's a feature not an issue.
S3 always and still does have issues connecting and disconnecting to and from data the Z does not.
The OP wasn't wanting to trade a phone with anyone. He was asking the pros and cons of both. As his network was allowing him to swap. Please delete this as its dead.

That's an awesome video and I honestly couldn't agree more. I played with a One in-store and it just isn't that good.
Here's a comparison video showing how much better the Z/ZL screen is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Tgv80i2L8

I'm fully aware of that Judge. Seen his post earlier yesterday. Just stating for any other potential swappers that he was not asking a swap.

Why replace it if it's the best phone you ever owned?
Also, the HTC is so ugly

Finally an honest comparison.
Nice.

This guy is funny and I was laughing mostly at how he described things.. HTC fanboys will say he got paid to say this, lol.
But yes Benchmarks don't say a lot in real world performance and the things he pointed out seem not to be made up out if thin air, the One has huge speakers and hasn't got dust resistance like the Z, getting dust particles underneath the screen is something that bothers me a lot. I noticed the lag in the One as well but I guess it's because he optimised his Z and didn't do that with the One. My Z is definitely not totally lag free as I use stock Rom and have quite a lot of garbage Apps installed, guess what, it doesn't come to a level that it bothers me and I still love my phone.
The guy made a quite honest review and he's not the only one whos pointing out the build quality issue. Ericka the Technology nerd who likes to film stuff said something similar in one of her reviews. You can find her on YouTube as well as the AngelOfMusic I suppose.

The only lag is see in my sxz is in the stock launcher.. Everthing else its just blazing fast
I dont know as soon as i heard him saying HTC one is like a china quality and then saying iphone is awesome...I think he lost some credibility there...little did he know most phone were assemble there including the Samsung galaxy S3 and probaly the xperia Z
I think he knows that, what he meant was "Cheap Chinese Ripoff". I don't know about where you live, but that's a common saying for when something was made like crap and won't hold up after a few months. But it looks like another brand.
guess i need to listen again when I'm bored...19 minutes is a bit long.
No worries mate, I think we all get something different from watching/listening to the same thing.
