The dark black glass ones look better from the back on some Sony phones to me. I don't see how just being a larger glass brick "literally" means it's an "AMAZING" design.

          I just DON'T get how sony beats the other two with the design. Sony's design is one reason I DON'T go for it!

IOS perfect? Saying others have to many features or not needed when the are mostly OPTIONAL? Stating you realize Sony's camera has many software problems, but then defending it???

                      You should really really really really really use your brain before posting....
                      And as far as phone to phablet...Obviously a phablet is a what? LARGE PHONE! And they have nearly identical hardware..Would you say the same thing to two different phones if they both had the same cpu but one was 4.5inch and the other 5inch??????

                        Firstly, I don't see how u can compare a phablet and a smartphone. (if uve used the note 3 why not use the Xperia Z Ultra? Or what ever it was called. Secondly when I look though the pictures u have taken with the the Z1 compared to the rest - I would much prefer them than the others. The Xperia z1 has some clear software issues like the panoramic settings etc but sony has not really been in the mobile game long, is only now that I have begun to noticed their phones. LG has been making phones for some time now and their most recent efforts in the G2 have shocked me. I don't like the look or the feel of the phone or their over lay software. And the same goes for Samsung. I had the s3 for about a week before going back to the iPhone. The sony xperia z1 has manage to pull me out of the poision apples. It's they don'. Need to ad 50 odd customisation (that you gave it a third place for because it lacked them) because like the iOS its perfect! It's better than i Expected there some tweaks that need to be changed but the basics have won me over! It's premium design also gives it the edge! A clear winner!

                            but bloatware of Samsung and their support is so crap.

                            Z1 is so stylish and easy to handle with one hand.

So that one cannot help you. Despite what millions of trollish jealous fanboys will tell IOS, WP, and Android all can have hang and crash.

                                    Both phones you mentioned take good pictures. However the Z1 obviously takes better snaps. Also as you saw the Note3 takes much better pictures and has much camera options and functions.
                                    The Note3 on the other hand leads in display and productivity.
                                    The Z1 has water proof, and Note3 has SPen, features, and removable battery.

                                        About a week ago I finally got the chance to buy a new handset and replace my aging optimus. I tried all of them before buying at the store, the Note 3 is too big for me to handle in one hand, The G2 fits just right but feels too light to handle and the buttons at back could be annoying especially if I get a hard case or leather flip case. The Z1 is just perfect, the elegant design and waterproofing is just a plus though. I also tried the iPhone 5 but the screen is too small for me.
