Why do you people even bother to make threads like this?
I think everyone knows about the 'compare' feature on gsmarena.com . If not, google it.

And I do believe (now for the 99999^999^999 time) that this has been discussed before;
You choose your phone based on what you're used to and what you want.
You choose a phone based on how it looks to you. You only, you don't go asking about for your own opinion!
And, last, but most important; You choose a phone based on fluidity and how it works out for you...

I didn't choose my phone because 'it's great, a flagship' and all that duck... I got it because I said 'I need a new phone' so I went to the shop, saw what they had, tried those phones out and bought my nozomi! If a HOX or GS3 would have the same features as the nozomi, I'd buy another phone!

I would add to the iPhone better optimization , better calibrated screen and better gaming thanks to the great gpu and lower resolution screen and maybe even better speakers and integrated earphones, to the Sony I would add the exmor rs camera and its f1.8.

Why iphone 5? No one here cares about it. Besides, the Xperia Z is the iphone 5s/6 competitor. The Xperia T is the iphone 5 competitor and even the Xperia T wins so no point comparing the iphone 5 with the Z.

Xperia Z is pretty much the first contestant of 2013 flagships. It doesn't have a sparring partner yet and having it beat up on the iphone 5 is not thread worthy. Maybe have it beat up on the Droid DNA instead or wait for the HTC M7 or Optimus G pro to start the versus threads.
