Remark:
Apart from the physical design form, HTC Butterfly and Sony Xperia Z have pretty much the same specs such as android v4.1 Jelly Bean OS, quad-core processor, RAM, Battery capacity, and both fall in the same price range.
But Xperia Z does boast a few more features to tip the scale in its favour; the smartphone comes with a water-proof and dust-proof coating on its body and also packs a 13.0 megapixel camera with Sony's Exmor RS image sensor and HDR (High Dynamic Range) video capability, making HTC Butterfly's 8.0-megapixel 1080p HD resolution camera seem ordinary.
