I hope htc make a polycarbonate variant of "one", with different colors like nokia and remove the front logo, so it will become small and thin bezel. What do you think guys! ?

Not sure why the HTC One is raated better in low light for the outdoor shots, the details in the Xperia Z are way better for those shots. Just zoom in and look at the words and you can tell.

Personally, i prefer lcd. You can't really tell which is better, since they have pros and cons in different categories, so it all comes to personal preference here.

The Z in my opinion can't beat the One :
Design :the Z just misses that a device this big needs great ergonomics, but it's a thin and flat glass sandwitch, while it looks really good, it's unconfortable to hold, HTC has been doing their tapered designs for quite a while, and not only it feels natural to hold and confortable, it also feels crazy thin at just 4mm on the edge. And nothing beats the cold feeling of metal, HTC did a great job when it comes to details like the chamfered edge, or the top and bottom aluminium bezels around the display meaning it won't crack easily, and corner drops are usually those who will destroy your smartphone.
Display : viewing angles DO matter, people use them without knowing it, for example i use my Nexus 4 on my wireless charging dock and turn daydream on to display a clock, and when i need to know what time it is, i just look at the phone sideways, or sometimes i put my phone on my desk while i'm checking notifications, or i sometimes use my smartphone as my GPS and put it in a car mount, and i don't put the phone right on front of me oltherwise i'll end up in the hospital. And the size of the HTC One makes the screen the sharpest ever, and you won't use the 5" to the fullest due to the on screen buttons, and i heard that the Z has poor contrast and was abit washed out.
Speakers : Yes they matter, full stop.
Stereo speakers will change your life when compared to tiny muffled speakers.
UI : Not only Sense looks better (Sony's font is just TERRIBLE) but also HTC has been better when it comes to updating their phones. Sony doesn't bring anything new or innovative to the table unlike HTC with Zoe and Blinkfeed (Sony is making a zoomable gallery a big deal, LOL)
Camera : After looking at my gallery, i discovered that 80% of my photos where low light images, therefore the One wins, also i'm freaking tired of shaky videos and terrible mics (Thank you OIS and HDR Sound) And i kinda like the wider angle on both front and rear facing cameras. And the One has more camera features that i think are pretty cool
Processors : I know that all of you must say that " It doesn't matter " but it does, the Z lags in the launcher, and 1080p is alot to push therefore sony must step up their game instead of being behind like always.
Storage : I know that the Z has an SD card slot, but with all the 1080p smartphones coming, Games will just get BIGGER, some games are already over a Gig,and i can see them become 2GBs or more, and you can't install apps and games on an sd card, and they are unreliable (After a little drop my SD card on my previous S3 lost all it's Data!)
Battery life : From what i've seen and read, reviewers have been impressed with the One despite all that it has to push, and were dissapointed with the Z.That matters for a non-removable battery.

Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
Beats Audio is not the speakers, it's the software running on the phone.
I use this on my Galaxy Note. So the Beats Audio isn't really an advantage on the HTC One.
Or, the Custom ROM i use on my Galaxy Note have already included this in the ROM.

Smart stay or direct call maybe but beats never..
Great speaker is big advantage almost when I use it every time I need like gathering with my friend or watch hd movie..
We never reject any big innovation cus it don't need us maybe others like it very much..
One has a lot of advantage over z..
-sound, ui(blink feed),low light camera, ui camra with great option,hdr record with ois and slow motion record ability,htczoo,screen and better size,battary,design(personal) and. .. altoghe z have a big advantage like watter proof or dust but I don't need to it maybe another one want it..its not reason I reject theire abilitis.

., 06 Apr 2013Yep, it's a good move by sony, because they know that once ... moreWhat a stupid comment! Its like saying nobody will buy a BMW because a comparable Mercedes hits the market. People have different tastes/likes and I would always buy the Xperia Z instead of the Samsung S4 any day of the week! Personal preference although you may prefer to follow the herd!

Yes, the Beats headsets are usually overrated, but when you can mix both the Beats Audio in Android + a good headset, then you get a lovely sound quality.
So the Beats Audio on the HTC One is an advantage for the sound quality with headphones.
Beats Audio is just software, so it can be ported to any Android smartphones.

i'm using Audio-Technica ATH-CK90Pro, Sony MDR-EX600, Klipsch Image X10 as my earphone. i never consider beats as main earphone
