xperia z1 should be seccond not 3rd. and why u didnot mention anything about the ability of shooting in rain and under water of xperia z 1, in features? that none of compititor can do it.so this will increase the place of z1 in features at least to 2nd place

My opinion:
1st: 1020 easily
2nd: Xperia Z1
3rd: Note 3
Coz, Note 3 shines mostly in factors that do not matter much (like Panorama, 4K video, and some other feature which can be used only on High end Galaxy phones).
And Z1 shines in more important factors (Better stills both in Low Light and Good Light) where a camera ought to be mainly strong.

I would pick htc one after 1020. Good lightning photos are similar when you upload them online which is why I use my phone. And it's low light quality is unmatched except Nokia smartphones. Mobile cameras are greater than needed this year kudos to all phone manufacturers. They all have something nice to offer us. Thanks for this detailed comparison by the way.

i think almost all the smartphones now a days has the same features.
for me, smartphone should have excellent battery, decent camera, fast internet, handy, light, durable, and of course, with very good company services.

Hi GsmArena Team,
Just read your 6 phone shootout review.
Posting this comment for the 2nd time. My first one is missing. (Gsmarena is not honest here, I feel)
I just want to know which Xperia Z1 unit is used for the review?
Is it the pre-production unit which was used for the phone's main review (which was very unfair, and you guys ought to do a re-review)?
Or is it a retail version having the latest software version??
Please clarify!!

As expected, Lumia 1020 is the winner. I was so much waiting for the comparison between Z1 and 1020 but Z1 still didn't stand up against the 1020 beast. Though, Z1 along with the Note III but came at the 3rd place.
It's a highly unbiased camera comparison as always. Thank you GSMArena. You people are simply the best.
