Can upgrade next week but which phone should I get? Both have really good qualities but i'm really undecided

[alan1302]

What phone have you now?

And what about the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Nokia Lumia 920?

[wef0undl0ve]

None had the iPhone 4 but it broke last month, was thinking about the HTC one but there isn't a memory card slot to expand the memory on that is there?

[Zee_Bukhari]

HTC One comes in 32GB and 64GB editions, do you really use more than that?

Nokia Lumia 925 is being released sometime this month too which comes in 32GB edition

Which network are you with as that matters on phones as well. As if you want LTE and are with Vodafone/O2 don't go with the IPhone 5. Plus comment I mention below.

Actually I wouldn't advise anyone get a IPhone 5 at this point 5S is 3 months away at max and price you pay now for 5 is going be about same you will pay for 5S something to consider.

Actually only Vodafone has the 32GB model rest will be 16GB. So it depends what network he is with.

It's all personal opinion.....

Op, play with a few phones in the shops, get what suits you.

Take a look at YouTube reviews too, some are iPhone 5 vs Xperia z etc.... They may help.

Xperia z, galaxy s4, htc one, lumix 920.... All good phones, all have their good and bad points.

Wait a bit as the newest iPhone will be out soon.

[daclick]

get a galaxy s4 stay away from apple

[legends wear 7]

Z over the iphone


but then i would get the HTC One over the Z.

put off the gs4 as i like to have something most people don't have.

but having moved to windows phone 8 this year i would get the lumia 920/925 over them all.

[Step666]

And there's now also the S4 Active, if you like the water-resistant capabilities of the Xperia Z.

[Liam_777]

I had the Xperia Z, it's a good phone.. But for the things I wanted from a phone, I exchanged it for a HTC One;

1) sound quality on Z is awful, speaker and in ear. If you listen to music or watch videos a lot then HTC One is on another level good.
2) 1080p screen on Z isn't that good, colour reproduction isn't great and compared to the One and S4 the screen looks extremely washed put.
3) The Z has possibly the worst low light camera performance I've ever seen, pictures are horrible. My iPhone 4 was better. Z takes good daylight photos though.
4) I found call quality to be awful on the Z, if I was outside or anywhere with a bit of noise I could not hear the person I was talking too, I was told this was due to the water proofing.
5) Over heating!

Personally I would recommend the HTC One to anyone. The Z is food, but there are a lot of compromises for the price.

Just like to say the Xperia Z has shatter proof film on both sides so is much more durable than the iPhone. I don't about the post above, but from my friends who have the Z are very pleased with it. Some even came from iPhone 4/4S and prefer the Z.

That's what is making me lean towards cos i'm always dropping my phone haha, it looks a lot better than the iPhone 5 tbh but i've heard bad things about the speaker quality

[notachance]

I have a Z and its a great phone.

Sure, there are better screens, better cameras and better speakers out there but for my use, it's a good all rounder.

I've got a hugely expensive SLR with a good range of lenses so if I want good photos I use that. For impromptu moments the camera in the phone is good enough.

Speakers - my wife has a HTC One and the loudspeaker is excellent for a phone but we rarely use the feature, preferring to use a portable Bluetooth speaker instead.

The screen doesn't have great black levels. In the dark you can see light shining through. But again, it's a phone so I'm not that fussed.

The earpiece is small and it too some getting used to making sure it was right over my ear hole when I was on the phone. Used to it now and call quality is very clear.

Signal, both mobile and wifi, seems better than on my Galaxy Nexus.

I haven't dropped, yet, so can't confirm how resistant the screen is. It is glass though at the end of the day so I'd imaging it is still likely to break.

It's waterproof and dustproof too. I can sort of confirm this - I got drenched a couple of weeks ago and my phone was completely soaked in my pocked for a couple of hours and is still working fine.

I can get a full day on the battery with pretty heavy call, internet, email and text use and still have 20% battery left.

Overall, I'm happy with it. I also like the fact that Sony don't seem to have bloated it like others have. It looks pretty damn similar to vanilla android.

Sounds like a lot of problems I had with the Xperia Z10

Thinking of ditching the Iphone 5 for this would it be a wise choice?

i love my iphone 5, ive just realised i can put music on it...

can anybody recommend me a music dock?

[alanwarwic]

Docks are making way for bluetooth speakers.

They can be more versatile so consider those
