HTC One VS Sony Xperia Z Comparative Evaluation | Ainongji - 上海419贵族宝贝-上海后花园1314-上海品茶网-阿拉爱上海

Xperia Z is Sony's latest flagship mobile phone, which was released at the beginning of 2013 CES, and is also the main flagship mobile phone in the mobile market in 2013. However, it soon met its competitor, HTC One. The distribution of One will be officially launched at the end of March. This time, Taiwan manufacturer HTC also showed its strongest skills. One has the top body design, and has newly designed Quanxing Sense interface and UltraPixel camera.

Complete machine design

It has to be said that HTC and Sony both have their own unique design language styles in mobile phone design, and both have won praise from consumers. Xperia Z Video evaluation ）The back is made of glass, and the seamless connection between the fuselage frame and the back glass is achieved through the plastic rubber with flexible texture. In the whole design of black straight mobile phone, this is a large black straight mobile phone. Xperia Z It is waterproof and dust-proof. At present, there are few mobile phones with such characteristics in Europe. As we discussed in the detailed evaluation, Xperia Z is also a fingerprint and dust collector, which is mainly caused by its glass back and rubber body.

HTC takes a step further in body technology, with a "gorgeous" aluminum one-piece body and a curved back with better grip. The four corners of Xperia Z's body are tough, and the chamfer is very small. It is uncomfortable to hold the hand against the palm, which is not very ergonomic. So it can be said that Sony has a very attractive design, while HTC has further achieved a more ergonomic and aesthetic appearance.

screen

Xperia Z vs HTC One Both have 1080P resolution screens. For Sony, it is the 5-inch screen of "Full HD Reality". On the HTC side, there is a Super LCD 3 4.7 inch 1080P resolution screen Both screens can be said to be very clear, with Xperia Z reaching 440 PPI and HTC One 468 PPI. There is little difference between the two in brightness performance. However, HTC outperforms Xperia Z in visual angle, and the latter's screen will have color distortion when viewed from the off center angle.

Processor and performance

HTC One is equipped with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 600 processor, and Xperia Z is the previous APQ8064. Both are four core Krait CPUs, so they have excellent performance.

However, there are still slight differences in performance and control response between the two. HTC One with Snapdragon 600 processor has the upper hand. If you have these two machines at hand, you can take out the test and watch in person. There is no obvious difference between the two in terms of control response, but the advantage of One can still be observed. As we mentioned earlier, compared with Nexus 4, HTC One is the fastest Android device we have ever used.

Key

Sony has provided a key design similar to the Android standard device Nexus - return, home, multi task switch keys. In this way, you can quickly start multiple tasks with only one click, and you can also quickly slide up to achieve the effect of turning on Google Now. The HTC One is limited to only two keys - the home key and the return key. To activate multitasking, you need to quickly double click the home key, while to open Google Now, you need to long press the home key. This has brought us some trouble in our daily life. We always prefer independent multi task buttons. In addition, we also mentioned that when using HTC One, some third-party applications will have a black bar at the bottom of the screen, which looks very ugly and needs HTC to solve quickly.

Sense 5 UI vs. Sony UI

In terms of UI selection, the problem actually becomes more like the choice between the native system and the third-party system. Sony has always tried to avoid being too flashy in terms of UI, but has tried to make things as simple as possible to achieve basic functions, following a kind of minimalism. On the contrary, HTC takes up the other side. In the latest Sense 5, HTC completely redesigned its UI. The BlinkFeed is integrated into the HTC desktop and becomes a part of the desktop. In the BlinkFeed service, there are calendar reminders, social updates, news subscriptions and other information.

In addition, when it comes to TV sets, HTC provides a special service, which Xperia Z does not have - that is, infrared emission. This function can be used to control TV sets. In addition, on the entertainment side, Sony is keen to integrate its existing services into Xperia Z, such as PlayStation Music Unlimited、Video Unlimited。 In fact, there is no lack of entertainment functions and features in the Android ecosystem, but if you have adapted to the services provided by Sony, this is also worth considering.

In general, we prefer Sense 5 UI, but Sony provides a more "Android" user experience.

Photographic image quality

Because the cameras of the two mobile phones can be said to be completely different types. Therefore, it is almost impossible to directly judge the photographing performance of HTC One and Xperia Z. HTC One has a 4 million pixel "UltraPixel" camera. Each pixel of the sensor has a larger photosensitive area and can absorb more light. Sony's model has taken a more traditional path with 13 million stack sensors. It can be said that the two have taken completely different paths in terms of photography.

The following is a video comparison of the two photography effects made by a small editor (the sample is from Android Central):

The high pixel of Xperia Z means that more details can be taken in an ideal environment, but in real use, the low light performance of HTC One is more excellent and the photography speed is faster. In addition, because the camera of One uses optical anti shake technology, it can also take more stable videos in darker environments. Even so, the color of the pictures taken by One is not sharp enough, which is inferior to Xperia Z. The performance of HTC One is even better in macro shooting.

In terms of video capture, both phones support 1080P video recording and HDR video recording. In our experimental shooting, Xperia Z's HDR video effect is slightly better than One's. However, it lacks the function of 1080P 60 frames per second shooting, and One supports shooting of such video specifications.

In general, the two mobile phones use completely different photography methods, so it is difficult to summarize who has the best photography effect. In the next detailed evaluation of HTC One, we will bring more analysis.

Battery life

Both mobile phones are non detachable batteries. We increasingly feel that the feature of detachable batteries seems to have become Samsung's patent (complaints from foreign peers...). Xperia Z has a battery capacity of 2330mAh, while One has a battery capacity of 2300mAh. The battery is not particularly good, but it can basically last all day in the heavy use process.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Sony has provided some unique power management methods to enhance the endurance of Xperia Z, including "persistent mode", which allows users to close the data connection of certain background programs. In addition, Wifi in this mode can be automatically turned on or off according to whether it is within the range of Wifi.

summary

Although some parts of HTC One do not satisfy us very much, we still love One more than Xperia Z. In terms of hardware, One has better configuration, impressive body design and SLCD3 screen with excellent display effect, which makes us choose One. But it can't be said that Xperia Z is not good. Z is still a very good smart phone, with waterproof and dustproof effects and a larger screen. Z also provides a more "Android" system experience, and Z's camera interface is more intelligent.
