Hello guys,

Maybe this is my last contribution to this beautifull thread but thats because of Htc

As many of you know ... i used to take marvellous pics with my htc one as you can see here

But after 2 month its plaqued and affected with Purple tint issue.

i was shocked as i loved it so much ... so went to the service centre and bla bla update to 4.3 bla bla leave it for a week and was returned with another sensor affected to. after many argues they said i have to wait to the new shipment dated 1-1-2014 as all the already in stock is from old dates.

that was a massive disappointment to me. And finally i took my final decision and Sold it :(

Yes i sold while the price is still high ... and got myself the Xperia Z1

Am sad because i loved the One and tried many others but didnt find and recent patches. So me and my friend went for the Z1

The Z1 is another Great device by Sony. and truely showed a good imaging powers. lets say that i was fooled with most of biased reviewers. i tried it myself and after 2 days i was able to get the perfect shots

i even went to the same places where i took pictures with my Htc One and took the Same but with the Sony just to compare.

i will leave the opinions to you and will only share my experience... First here is the Xperia Z1 pics ...

NOTE: the Z1 updated to latest firmware right after the first power on so i dont know how the camera was with earlier firmwares.

i will not say any opinions but will leave it for your personal taste.

first the Z1 is little Bigger than the one but the grip is better not slippery at all.

the Htc One screen from (Angles) is better but if you hold both at your hands you will feel very little difference but better for the Htc One

Htc One speakers is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. i may say the Z1 comparing to it is a disaster !

Both are snappy very speedy both are smooth buttery smooth with no sign of stutters and that things. althgouh the Xperia Z1 is on Faster processor but i didnt feel much difference IMOH

Both are very classy and premium. but am leaning to the glass .. black glass suits me better.

Z1 over Htc:

Camera:

What the Hell ! the Z1 focuses at night in less than a second .. forget the 3-5seconds focusing on the night mode htc ... the Z1 in any mode even in pitch black focuses preciselly in less than a second.

BUT u have to rest your hands on anything to avoid blurrieness at night mode.

i love the idea that am not thinking for purple noise anymore ( i hope ) but its a relief

Bigger screen wider better in typing, Better battery say by 25% took (3days to function) louder in call voice better front facing camera.

THEN comes the Headphones experience .. is a much better for people who loves music gonna admire the Sony Walkman experience.

But the faster camera much faster lock and focus pitch deep blacks no purple its better.

About the Megapixel count yes it helps alot for cropping but i dont do crops at all as the camera already got 3x Lossless zoom as the Nokia. better say i dont crop so i dont feel the megapixel count density unless at 100% pic size and that i dont do anyways.

.... Sorry for the long post and if any questions i will be glad to answer as i already have owned the One and now wit h Sony.

many thx
