Xperia z anytime..
s4 is powerful, but z seems to be More well covered.
Powerful hardware and gimmicky software features are not all, design, durability also speaks a lot.

Have been using Sony products from an early age till now, I would surely go with Xperia Z for its fantastic looks in terms of hardware and software and water and dust proof features to add a new jewel to the Sony family...

I had Note 2 for half a year and then i already had my dose of Samsung, it wasnt that good, so full of useless features (for me), and some are right out defective, (s-voice is a big joke, smart rotation is amazingly bad)
AS this review states, theres nothing wrong with Xperia Z, its a very good phone, and it has some big advantages. Lets see some drop tests as well, we already know Z does well here, you dont see Samsung reps dropping phones do you? For a very good reason, and thats the cracking sound you thought you heard.
Next time do benchmarks before and after a similated rainshower. No doubt S4 has the most small advantages, but Z has the big ones. I wouldnt trade my Z for an S4, i bought it knowing that S4 would be better in many ways but what i knew for sure was that S4 would not be waterproof, it would not have a good build quality, and it would not have a great design (but honestly i expected it to have a competitive design, it is alot worse than expected). Bottom line, i knew S4 was not worth waiting for.

It's ironic we talk about respect for other people's choices, beliefs and what not when merely opting for a phone gets you the title of either a fan-boy or something else...
Samsung has an awesome screen, faster and newer processor, better software integration. What it lacks is a proper design.
Xperia is beautiful. It ain't a Bugatti but it sure is an awesome Ferrari which I found myself opting for.
If Galaxy suits you, go for it. For me with the ability to unlock bootloaders and write my own oc and custom kernels, I guess I couldn't be anymore happier with my Z

The s4 will be priced about rupees 10,000 more than xperia z. Thats about 180$… so they fall in a completely different category.

Did I just hear the sound of sony fanboy's nuts getting cracked??
This is the reason why the galaxy series is so popular and s4 beats all other flagships just like it did every single year since the galaxy S.nobody gives a shit about plasticky feeling or looks after the first week of using their device.also with android you never get bored.

The Galaxy S4 wins easily, yet again.
Xperia is a good second choice.
