Of course, each of the two contestants have their own unique talents. The course will be a favorite for those who have a soft spot for the sweet audio - both through headphones and speakers. Xperia Z on the other hand will surely win the hearts of outdoorsy, adventurous type who would love the fact that water and dust resistance no longer the same as the entry-level feature set.
So let's see who drew first blood.

Sony Xperia Z over HTC One

Turns Sony Xperia Z and HTC have quite a lot of differences, which is bound to give each edge in some tests today. So it was formed as exciting battles tend to resolve themselves only after a fierce exchange of punches.
Go with the initial sales forecast, may be tempted to conclude that this is a fight for second place as the Samsung Galaxy S4 is bound to beat both without breaking a sweat. But the sales figures do not always mean a better smartphone and we can be sure many will see next dream handset emerged from this match. After all, you probably will not get a smartphone reject water is stronger than Z or smartphone Xperia talented music more interesting than one.
So back to the task at hand - each of the two smartphones are bound to win a few rounds just for the power play, but there are a lot of fights hangs in the balance. Will UltraPixel new low-resolution camera with OIS from one beat conventional 13MP snapper on Xperia Z? And where these animals manage better battery?
There is a lot to play for here, so let's go. The first stop was the hardware, right after the break.
HTC One vs Sony Xperia Z: Flagship clash
Let's start with the screen: HTC One definite winner. Not because the pixel density is somewhat larger than the Xperia Z (469 ppi compared to 441 ppi) - both devices offer outstanding sharpness and imaging differences can not be seen with the naked eye - but because it offers a much better contrast and viewing angle. Blacks much black in one of the Xperia Z, while the white too much white, create a dynamic range greater color on HTC models. Differences regarding the color contrast is clearly visible to the naked eye, as it can be seen that the contrast and color saturation remains the same regardless of one point of view, while it lost to the Sony Xperia Z if the screen is viewed at an angle.
When it comes to speed, the same device. It is true that the HTC handset provides better results after the synthetic benchmark tests of speed, according to both the initial test and the fact that he has a rather new chipset runs at a greater frequency (four Krait 300 cores at 1.7 GHz, compared to the Xperia Z 1.5 GHz Krait). However, both devices at lightning speed and the difference is hardly visible even when performing the most demanding tasks, such as zooming in and out or scrolling through websites that are very heavy or forwarding a video clip.
In the design department, Sony has the advantage, simply because it is waterproof and because it looks like Sony (the original, not as if it was made by someone in love with the iPhone 5 and / or Blackberry Z10). That's not to say that I do not like the way HTC One look, especially the silver version. However, in spite of all the above, Xperia Z also two millimeters slimmer while also being two millimeters wide and two millimeters higher than HTC. And do not forget that the Xperia Z has a 5-inch diagonal, while HTC has "only" 4.7 inches diagonal. Subsequently, HTC can be made of aluminum, but Sony has even slicker material on the front and rear: glass.
When it comes to user interface - HTC One winner is assured. BlinkFeed, Flipboard kind built in the fresh homescreen in real time, looks good and is innovative and highly configurable. If someone does not like the look of it, it can be removed and many other advanced Sense UI options can be used, which has become one of my favorite skin Android OS users for years. Sony UI modifications are not significant, and no shortage of ideas to offer something that can not be found in the UIS poor third parties.
Regarding the camera and audio playback features, although great emphasis on work that HTC put into one, it can not compete with the Sony engineering knowledge. The camera on the HTC UltraPixel results above average results, but only if the object is not very dynamic shot, and a maximum resolution of 4 megapixels out to the humble. True, not all about megapixels - a lot is about the size of the pixel - but the images captured by the camera Sony Xperia Z 13-megapixels the better, especially when HDR is turned on. The same comment applies to mobile sound reproduction ', the Xperia Z edging out one.
When all is said and done, however, the choice ultimately comes down to the specific needs of each user. Those who found the highest on-screen imaging and modern user interface to be the most important criteria when choosing a smartphone will see HTC One as a clear choice between the two flagships. Fans of great design and top multimedia options, meanwhile, will find that there are other models can hold a candle to the Sony Xperia Z.
