Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

do you prefer music(xperia Z) or good screen resolution+gorilla glass screen(s4)?
Sent from my HTC Bliss/Rhyme

you don't want to buy xperia Z because it has a bad screen unless you want your phone to take showers with you
so it hands down to s4 or htc one
for me i would buy S4 over htc one anyday

xperia z, the screen is not so bad like they say

There isn't a best universal smartphone is a personal choice.
HTC one has a great sound,a metal body and a camera that does very good night photos(but it has only 4 megapixels) and JB 4.1.2
Galaxy s4 has a lot of software-features like gestures,s-voice multi winows etc,a 13 megapixel camera and a expandible memory with JB 4.2.2.
Xperia z is a great phone but i don't like it but it cost 50 euros less than other two
Sorry for bad english

Of those three, I personally prefer the HTC One. I actually like some of the additions in Sense 5, and it isn't nearly as bad as previous iterations (in my opinion). I'm waiting to see if they do an Xperia Z reboot though; I'd love one that has an improved screen and something like a Snapdragon 800.

You might want to wait a bit and check out the newly announced Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Screen is supposedly much better than previous Z. However, no LED flash, and it's quite large (6.44-inch screen), but thin.

s4 .........

Definitely not Xperia z. The washed out screen, the sub par battery life and the horrendous speaker makes it a no no.

HTC one black for me! solid body and sound!

For me, the great camera and speaker of the S4 got me. I was tempted to get the One, but its lack of Microsd support and removable battery kinda disappointed me. Xperia z is a good phone in its own right, but its last gen processor, washed out screen and poor camera was the thing to push me to the S4.

Just pointing out, there's a device suggestion thread for questions like this. Ultimately it comes down to what you want from the device.
The HTC One has the most premium build and the best design IMO as well as the smoothest UI and the best speakers. It would definitely be my personal choice.
The S4 has a removable battery, SD slot and the most feature rich software but it lags where no 2013 flagship should, AMOLED screens are ugly and the phone itself feels awful.
The Xperia Z has waterproofing as well as an SD slot but the viewing angles on the display are awful. I think it's a bit out of place in this since if you're going to consider it then you may as well also consider the Nexus 4 which is cheaper as well as having a superior display (after calibration) and better software.
While I'd recommend the N4 over all three purely because of how cheap it is, if I had to choose between the given options I'd pick the One.

I would recommend to get the HTC one in black, it looks amazing. I owned the HTC one, galaxy s 4 and optimus g pro. I have a comparison thread if any of you is interested.

These 3 are the absolute best phones so far this year.

I thought the One was beautiful. Then I saw it in black.

I say S4, Htc one the only good thing about it well two things out has a decent camera and one hellava speaker of you don't care about expandable storage go for HTC my main advice is to stick with S4 otherwise HTC. No comments on xperia

I've used s3, Xperia Sammy is okay to some extent but Sony has nothing great nor dispay or sound. Right now a from a months time I'm using HTC one, satisfied with the overall outcome
except the camera not par with competitors.
Best built quality
Stereo speakers with amazing loudness and clarity bass effect is too good
Display is awesome..

I've working with the Samsung GS4 and the HTC One, both have its unique set of inconveniences. I bought the S4 for my own device due to 2 factors, SD card and Battery removal. Samsung has placed some kind of security feature in the S4 which wasn't there on the S3. The HTC was a bit more painful to work with with their security feature turned on. Oh BTW, I dunno about anyone else...but I'm having a hell of a time getting the HTC One developer's edition to turn on wifi. Just my .02.

Rumor: New HD Sony Ericsson Device

http://phandroid.com/2011/11/03/sony-ericsson-nozomi-is-now-the-xperia-arc-hd-rumors/
opinions? I personally would like to know more info, if it is out on tmo b4 the galaxy nexus I'd get it. I love their design, screen, fast updates, camera, and everything problem is that they are a little slow on hardware.

I'm not entirely sure I love the look of that, although it is pretty cool.
But 720p is wicked cool.

Love the design. Love how they made the hardware buttons into that thin illuminated stripe. Way better than the 3 large silver buttons they had before. I'm usually an HTC guy, but if this phone comes out at the right time I might pick it up.
I wouldn't mind them making the next nexus

Very clean design.. i am in love with the arc, but did not buy one because of the single core processor. If it launches up to february 2012 i will buy one of these, if not, Galaxy Nexus it is.

When to expect this jewel ?
Test benchmark are not impressive, although I understand the screen resolution makes it difficult to run a comparison to my SGSII... But that's 1,750 vs. 3,250...
Hopefully, real performance will be butter smooth...

Hottest Phone of 2012?

What phone do you think will be the hottest thing on the market this year?
Phones that I know that are being released this year that will be contenders are:
HTC One X
Samsung Galaxy Note/Journal
Samsung Galaxy SIII
Droid Fighter
New iPhone
Personally, I got my money on the S3 as the hottest phone on the market this year.
What do you all think?
Thats a short list
Why everyone forget the Xperia ones?
Xperia S by far trumps any phone on that list in terms of aesthetics.
the new iphone of course!

Definately the galaxy note IMHO.

Please define "hottest" because these threads are total nonsense. Just a bunch of random subjective opinions.
I just don't think "hotness" is something you can quantify...
That aside the GS3 will probably be the technically superior phone in terms of specs.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
The gs3 has not been verified by anyone that it will come out this year.
The xperia although probably good looking most likely not up to par with the new phones coming out this year.
I'm going with the HTC one X because it has a 2500 Mah. Battery. Apparently it has a very good camera so that's a big plus. Comes with HTC sense 4.0 and ics .
If not the HTC one x the HTC jet since its almost the same except it comes with a dual core krait processor which is more powerful than the quad core tegra 3.
The end.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Only 4 in my opinion
1. HTC One X
2. Nokia 808
3. Multimedia - Samsung Galaxy S III
4. Elegance - iPhone 5
Also, contenders and phones to look out for
Huawei Ascend D1 and Quad
ASUS Padfone
ZTE Era
BlackBerry London
It will be s3.

Has that super cool see through bottom part. Sony doesnt feel quad cores are necessary and the battery life impact is too great in their opinion. For the average user, theyre right. Hell, my GSII is all i need for now and for a while!
the new Iphone
Probably whenever the SGSIII comes out.

And there are rumours they will release a phone with specs similar to XS, but with Snapdragon S4, on a Xperia Arc design, and with LTE.

What phone would you upgrade to?

what phone would u upgrade to ?
i wanted to see what other peoples fav phones are.
galaxy note 2 or nexus 4
Xperia Z.
If only i could use a sense based rom on xperia Z, well that would be my next phone.. timescape UI (if i'm not mistaken with the name) don't have that premium and professional look. But hardware wise, xperia Z would be it..
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app
HTC One X+ purely because there are a lot of things out there for HTC.
Then again Xperia Z has 2 Gig of RAM and same thing with Nexus 4.
What ever has top hardware when my 2 years are up lol.
Xperia z looks good and i'd flash roms on it to make it like a nexus
Padfone2, only because of the hybrid tablet/phone. I think its an awesome feature.
Waiting for motorola x phone to see whats coming up next gen from motoogle/googlerola, lol
Nexus 4 or Padfone 2 atm also xperia z. No more htc due to their actual behaviour, and never Samsung/Apple (dislike).
Don't know why anyone would want a 5inch phone I feel 4.3 is perfect
If anything for an upgrade would be nexus 4 but that feels a bit big for me too lol

Xperia z with its media features. Its snapdragon s4 processor is the latest and the strongest!!
And with its additional water proofiNg makes it the strongest mobile ever!

Htc does not stand a chance

Do you hear that really loud noise?
yep, its the sony fanboi alarm! Spewing forth rubbish and desperately trying to present it as fact.
I'm afraid to say no one agrees with what you just said.
Lol, the xperia z is 2012 phone with 2012 tech.
HTC One is cutting edge tech, unlike the xperia z which has outdated tech.
HTC One FTW!

i like design of Xperia Z batter than HTC One
I would have to agree with XtremeSilencer. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan on of the One X but the Xperia Z looks like the best device Sony has ever released. I haven't been hands on with one yet but I'm sure it has no more or less bloatware than the HTC. Camera features will be comparable since SONY provides cameras to almost all manufacturers including Apple. Only thing that I dislike about Sony is the updating through their proprietary software. They also seem to be a bit slack on updates in general. Anyway that is my opinion. Choose wisely or wait for the new HTC Flagship.

[Q] which phone should I go to?

I have a note 2 but sadly my dad wants it and offered me a choice of s4 or htc one? Which one should I go to? I know most of their specifications but confused which to go for
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Can't he just get another note 2? I think the price is about the same or even lower than S4 or HTC One. Also the choice is based on personal preference their both great devices.

well I spent a about two hours playing with both phones, both were very good phones, what made
the HTC stand out to me was first pinch and zoom , when i did this on the S4 it would not realign the
words into a single column , which meant i had to scroll side ways on the website while I read a article. I used CNet , Fox news , phonenet , TechRadar to test..
next was the sound ,
For such small speakers , the HTC One put out decent sound, makes it nice if you just want some back ground music
with out having to use the headphones...granted I use it in semi-quite environments ..
The S4 had a plastic feel to it while the HTC one felt really solid, you can twist the S4 where the HTC One you cannot..
I did give the S4 a solid going over, it did have a kinda cool thing where it would follow your eye movement, it work but
but needed improvement... I would have rather seen Samsung spend money on the phone then marketing
like a metal case.. and HTC gives you the tools to unlock the boot.
Depe ds on your preference. One has the stronger body, and S4 has a removable back, which means interchanging batteries, and getting custom designed backs for it. The S4 also has a micro sd (sorry if this was mentioned, for I'm only skimming through), which the One provides more storage for the same price.
The S4 focuses much more on the software features, while the One focuses more on the design of the hardware and software without being too intrusive or overbearing. Sense 5 UI found on the One is pretty sweet and lighter than previous versions of Sense, and also lighter than TouchWiz. TouchWiz is much more fun to explore with the many things that you can do with it.
They both have similar processor, with an exception of the clock speeds (the S4 is 200MHz faster, but the average user - and even some power users - will not tell the difference.
I'm intentionally omitting my preference, for that is irrelevant to your decision. I'm not trying to influence your decision, but provide my unbiased opinions. (Hopefully, no one has enough insight to my decision...)

If you want a very good phone for its design quality, go with the HTC One.
If you are a Samsung fan and longtime user, go with the S4
Go for HTC One

If you can live with the 4 MP camera of HTC One then go for it. That's the only weak point of One against S4 I believe.
