I had a go with the Z1 recently at work, used it for a few hours.

I admit I wasn't too taken with the Z, but the Z1 runs like a dream. Even one of our die hard Samsung fans has pre-ordered one for himself.
The lens attachment is brilliant too.
I'm still not overly taken with just how chunky it feels in the hand, a bit to large compared to the S4 and One.

My personal recommendation would be the HTC One. I moved to it from the S3, and even after a month using the S4 and iPhone 5 I found myself favouring the HTC One over all others.

It's extremely stable, I can't make it lag no matter how hard I try, the camera is great (though the front camera could be a tad clearer) and it feels wonderful to hold. It's also due to get 4.3 during this month, maybe next month depending on the network.

It is a matter of opinion between those 3 phones. All this thread is going to give you is "I have X and couldn't be happier. You should get X" posts.

I especially leaning towards the sony because of the camera

Having had Sony, HTC, Samsung and Nexus devices I would advise you stay clear of the Sony.

I tried it out in a shop recently and ergonomics are not good on it. previous experience with Sony also gives me the willies with chronic software that's mega buggy. Screen is also an issue and Its too damn square. The HTC one is lovely in the hand and steady as rock. Samsung is nice but a bit cheapo feeling but has all the bells and whistles.

I would hold out for the Nexus 5 as its by far the best thing I have tried.
BTW I have only tried a Nexus 4 phone and not had the 5!!

I live in the desert in the middle east, have it set to auto and it's great.

HTC One, had it for 4 months and extremely happy with it. I've been with Sony for a good while and decided to make the switch which has been a great move.

Having used both the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, I'd pick the HTC One,
It's a fantastic phone with a great screen, the design of the phone is also better and I have to say it's a great looking phone compared to the plastic chassis of the S4.
I rather HTC's blinkfeed compared to Samsung's Touchwiz as Touchwiz is now feeling a bit outdated and blinkfeed is very slick.
I rather the camera to be honest on the HTC as it takes low light pictures better but if your into taking shots in the daylight, the S4 is probably the better choice.
It's important to note that the HTC has no expanded memory but it comes with a generous 32GB of on board storage. The S4 has 16GB of on board storage but with the option of adding a micro sd card.
Having used both phones, I rather the HTC One but the S4 is still a fantastic phone!

Feel free to give us your review on it. Kind of in the same boat myself with the three phones on offer.

Anyone know where I can get the HTC One in the stealth black colour. Can only seem to find it with meteor.

No there is no Vodafone on Mars just Xefron communications. We have 8G LTE, blazing fast downloads and also uploads.

So which one?
