As you can see below, all phones share the same screen resolution, CPU and GPU; the rest, they all go on their separate ways.

Strengths & weaknesses are quantitative.

 

Here are some details you should take note of:

The HTC One

  • no longer has optical image stabilization unlike last year’s model.
  • has a high resolution 5 megapixel front-facing camera.
  • is the only one with two cameras on the back.
  • is the thickest phone.
  • has the smallest battery capacity.
  • is the only device not resistant to water.

The Samsung Galaxy S5

  • has the highest CPU clock speed despite the similar CPUs.
  • is the lightest phone of the bunch, being plastic.
  • is the thinnest phone of the three.
  • is the only phone with a fingerprint sensor and a heart rate monitor.

The Sony Xperia Z2

  • has the largest screen, but only by a small mark.
  • has the largest battery.
  • has 3GB RAM.
  • has the camera with the highest resolution at 20.7MP.

Following the release of the Xperia Z last January 2013 at CES and the Xperia Z1 last September 2013 at IFA, rumors are rushing in for yet another flagship phone from Sony in the form of the Xperia Z2 (or Sony D6503 codenamed ‘Sirius’).

Here are a couple of images that appeared on the Internet regarding the nearing arrival of the Z2.

As you can see, the Z2 looks bigger than its predecessors. The new flagship phone was said to have a display size of 5.2 inches, while the previous models maxed out at 5 inches. Reports from one of the sources also point out stereo speakers at the bottom of the device, a shutter key, and thinner horizontal bezels.

In terms of availability, the source also predicts the Z2 to arrive in April this year. If it proves to be true, then we’ll be sure to hear announcements on Mobile World Congress this coming end of February.

Stay tuned!
