Just reading interesting articles from here : http://360dmobile.com/holiday-smartphone-gift-guide/. They recommends some good phones : nexus 4, lumia 920, HTC 8x. And what is your most desired phone, for me I love to buy HTC8x but also want the super great camera of lumia 920
Personally, looking at them side by side. The 920 is the better phone. Better display, better camera, better design (a little bigger but a well built phone) and Nokia has a lot better apps in the marketplace than HTC does...
Just wondering, did you Cross post this even in the other threads or are you just flaming?

Looks fine to me, you might want to add some pictures or link to some videos?
its simple-
iOS vs Android ...
Closed OS vs Open OS...

It's even easier than that.
Why does this even matter, It is absolutely pointless.
If you want android get an android phone, if you want ios get an iphone.
You might want to add the battery capacity of both devices?!
2330mah for xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it shouldn't be a question...
everything in xperia Z blows up ip5
and the price will be lower too :\
You should've asked yourself, what you need and what you dont. if it was me, of course I prefer Z all the way. Taste-wise.
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!
Z design is the best, and specs is enough for 2013 - i think, i'll buy it, not IP5 or S4 or. ....
how about bluetooth transferring, wifi direct, usb otg???
and WHAT about the new/incredible/absurd feature called
connect-and-copy ?
versus the connect-and-open itunes-and-synchronize-and-manage what it has done ?
DLNA ? playing games on TV (£15) in ebay MHL-usb:silly:

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.
Just a little video I put together. Not the best equipment. I can try again with some better stuff and perhaps another sound clip if anyone wants to hear it.
It sure does get people fired up in the comments section! I can add the iPhone 5, iPad Mini, and iPad 3 as well.

GSMarena is having a smartphone Champions League, it beat the Z to reach the quarter finals. Voting ends on Monday. Let's vote for our beloved smartphone. The 1520 earns incredible amounts of votes.

1020 vs galaxy S3 (this years flasgship vs last years that too on a different OS) :silly:
HTC one vs nokia 520 (flagship vs entry model ):silly:
Couldnt they have a best-of in 3 categories, entry, mid range & flagship ?
GO Z1!
I really didn't expect the 1520 to be this popular
I was quite suprised to see 3 Nokias this late in the competition.
lets have a little summary so its easier to follow..

Notable matches
Wow there are ALOT of devoted followers of Nokia.
Apart from in films (and on television programmes) I don't really see any Windows handsets
In India and Pakistan almost everyone goes gaga over Nokia or MediaTek devices.
30% of WP phones sold includes just the. 520,521. 9 out of 40 classmates have it and my mother owns one.
The 1520 will probably beat the Z1 in this popularity contest. But hey, who cares, I love my Z1 nonetheless ^_^

Lumia 1520 wins..................it's incredible
you can vote Z1
Lot of big names are down already(Note 3, Iphone 5S, Galaxy S4, etc)
Good to see the Z1 its still there

Where's blackberry? :laugh:
What a load of nonsense, the order of all these devices looks pretty rigged to me, to allow certain phones to definitely make it through
this crap doesn't make any sense tbh... why would the Xperia Z (flagship) fight against L (midrange) on the first round or why would the Galaxy S3 4.7 inch fight against galaxy mega 6.3 inch? all not on the same class and why no nokia phone fought against it self, and why fight LG G2 and HTC one on the first round lol

Because the nokia 520 - 720 hardware wise beat android at the price point. They all have proper GPS instead of A-GPS. other than the 720 the others have dual band wifi. A Rs.10k device with dual band wifi (!)
The biggest downside is WP8 app availability, flaky whatsapp and no centralised notifications.
Now the moto g has come out and is a serious contender in the low end stakes. Will have to see at what price its offered.
I don't know how the 1520 scored so high. Ability to save RAW.
Maybe its the battery life. But sizewise its more unwieldy. Great battery comes at a portability premium.
I've yet to to see it in the shops here.
I also find the scores between Z & Z1 curious. I did not think Z1 is compelling enough to upgrade for a Z owner. There is only 6 months between these devices. people balk at upgrading even a year later. eg. S3 owners not interested in going with S4 or Note 2 to Note 3. The biggest improvement with Z1 over Z is video.

There is no good way to do this. You would expect flagships to make it to the second round and not get paired with strong competition so early on like the G2 & note 3 were. I don't know how gsmarena chose the starting matches. Usually they pull names out of a hat. Its a good laugh.
Looks like htc one vs 1020 in the final.
So it's ended up the Nexus 5 vs Lumia 1020 in 1st SF and Lumia 520 vs 1520 :silly:
I suppose that Sony releasing the Z1 was due to the fact the Xperia Z was a bit behind the curve spec wise once the HTC One and S4 were looming.
The Z1 was perfectly timed for me, as the contract on my One X ended in October this year and I fancied a change of manufacturer
I agree that some of those match ups were very silly indeed
I'm pretty sure it'd be random match ups to start the fight..
Like someone said, maybe they pulled names out of a hat.
That's the only way to keep it fair..
It's the way the cookie crumbles ;p

Well done Nokia employees, you managed to get a winner here.
HTC one losing to 520
Ive been testing a lumia 1520 all weekend and have decided not to keep it.
My main reason being the camera, I timed the z1 camera load time against The 1520, and the 1520 was nearly 2 seconds slower to load the camera and take a pic, for a replacement point and shoot this is too slow to warrant me replacing my z1. If the picture quality had been significantly better, it might have swayed me, but manual mode shots were broadly similar.
The screen on the Lumia was also better, but I think I'll Wait and see what the 1020 and z1 successors will bring.

Z1 has better video in low light.
From my experience a lot of Nokia Lumia users have an inferiority complex against their Android/Apple counterparts. They're the most aggressive at insulting other phones which are not WP8 because they feel 'special' using an OS that is thought of as being inferior to iOS and Android. So when it comes to competitions like this where it's WP8 vs Android or Lumia vs Android the fanboys come out in full force and smother the competition and then post comments on how the other phones are sh*t and how WP8 has the most potential. Just look at the comments in the GSMArena page. The Z1 sadly didn't stand a chance.
I'm not saying that every WP8 user's like this, I'm sure those fanboys are in the minority, but I know a lot of people with the 1520 and 1020 and they always try to put down my Z1 even if I didn't say anything, as if they're justifying why they bought the Lumia over my Z1. That's just been my experience though.
Z1 got whitewashed by 20000 points. One got beat neck to neck by 520. Damn....

Hi,
i have an htc desire at the moment. I want to get a new one, and thought about the HTC One serie.
Yesterday i had a look at the HTC One M8, but it's too big i think. So i thought on getting the M8 mini. But it's not much cheaper than the normal m8 and has an lower camera, lower prozessor,....
So i thought what about the old One (M7).
Would you take the M7 or M8 mini??
what about the video/picture quality of the M7 are you contented with it??
without reading all of the text, buy the flagship m7 and not mini series...always better to get a flagship or go direct to m8

I would go for M7 as it is only .2 inches bigger @ 4.7 Inches vs the 4.5 Inch screen on the Mini 2 and 1080p screen with 469ppi on the M7 vs 720p screen with 326 ppi. The camera though will be very similar with both phones. The processor on the M7 is far better with 4 x Krait-300 Cores vs 4 x Cortex-A7 cores on the Mini 2. The price on Amazon for a new M7 is €465 whereas the Mini 2 costs €440, both are sold by Amazon themselves. So go for the M7 because of the better value for your money.
I would suggest the original M7 as well.
But if that's still too big, I would pick the Moto G over both mini phones.
Please no phone comparison threads
