Currently got an iPhone 4 and due an upgrade, thinking of an android phone next (had an htc hero before iPhone so had some experience of it)- I like the look of the Xperia Z, anyone got any thoughts on it? Seems very quiet on this forum about this phone!! Looks like a really nice phone, with good camera and stylish, if slightly understated design. (Does remind me of iPhone which is maybe why I like it!). Also considered htc one, but not sure as htc were really slow to upgrade hero to latest version of android which puts me off a bit!
I've seen how some of these threads go, so just to state upfront, not interested in the iOS v android argument, just want to pick a good phone to keep for next couple of years! (Also just to say I don't like the Samsung galaxy S3, so doubt i would like the S4 as looks wise is very similar. don't like the cheap plastic that Samsung seem to favour- I know it's a good phone, not questioning that, and I know loads of people like it but its just not my cup of tea!

Also i would say HTC are a bit better on updates with Android than Sony.
Have to say I think the build quality is great.
And then get the One.
The One does look like it has more features, the Zoe gallery thing looks good, but guess need to see it properly to see what's its really like.
One is a bit smaller to, not 100% convinced I want phone with huge screen really, whih leads me back to thinking maybe should just go for iphone 5.
Decisions, decisions :-)
I went from iPhone 5 to Xperia Z, it has something called 'Xperia Transfer' which takes your back up from iTunes and puts it all on your Xperia, so I got my Music, Pictures, Contacts, Text Messages and Documents without any hassle. It's a fantastic phone by the way.
Thanks for that, still not sure though its just maybe a little big for me, thinking iPhone 5 now as people are saying its the smoothest os it might be a little boring but it just works
I just got one of these the other day as the wife killed her iPhone 5 and pinched mine until we get it fixed.
Loving the Xperia Z, though havent been tempted yet to try it in the water yet.....:o
I don't like the design of the S4 & too big.
Oh well the HTC One looks a better size then.
The One is 15% larger in terms of volume and 10% heavier than the S4.
And the S4 is 50% greater in software bloat.
It is all I ever use.For me sync software removes users control.
iPhone 5 was the one that felt best to hold & use one handed, so was only choice in the end. iCloud was brilliant at moving from iPhone 4 to 5- really impressed with how simple it made it.
Different markets, 5 being a smartphone and the Z a phablet.
The likes of the S3 Mini and the Xperia J size up the 4" market.
I agree matey, really like the phone, just dismissed it initially as not different but it feels so much smoother and slicker than the 4 and your are right set up was an absolute breeze with I cloud it was always one step ahead of me (which doesn't take much to be fair):) so I am a happy choppy wit a great looking phone
