Three of the stand-out contenders for the throne of the best Android smartphone has put into a test. Which is the most elegant?  Which is the most powerful? Which is the most approved? Which is the best among these biggest phones of 2013? Is it the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One or the Sony Xperia Z? Well each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to hardware, speed and fluidity, and other not-so-significant-data. But let's try to chunk them down for comparison's sake and also, I like battles.

This video shows hands-on with these three devices:

Now let's look at each phones specifications. To wrap them up:

With specs, there are slight differences between the three. If you are the meticulous and precise type, you should focus on their differences in aesthetics, processor, and camera. Nevertheless, it's all upon the user's necessity and preferability.

Sony Vaio T

Tweet

After switching from Asus to Acer to numerous leading laptop brands, finally, I have brought a new laptop that would replace my old Toshiba Satellite L200: this classy Sony Vaio T series.

For years, I've been looking for a laptop that would meet my standards. I founded some but the problem is that we don't have sufficient money to buy a new one during those times. My old machine's specifications is nothing compared to today's versions. Its system also is slow so I have to look for a replacement. Also, our professor in programming encourages us to bring our own machines or development kits so that we can do our programs in our own phase and convenience. A doctor has a stethoscope, engineers have T-squares, and programmers should have their own personal computers. So I guess this was the perfect time to buy a new one.

This 13.3" laptop with aluminum body, LED display, weighing only 1.6 kg, powered by 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor, 500GB SSD, and operated by Windows 8 64-bit, definitely is quite powerful and suits me. Though this wasn't my first choice when we were in Sony Vaio Centre in Robinsons Place Manila (my first choice was the T series with touch capacity and 14" display), still, this Sony Vaio T is already a high-end machine and it can already accommodate my needs as a programmer, editor, and simply as a student.

This is my second laptop since Grade 6. I'm also proud of this laptop because it's from my refunded tuition fee and my monthly allowance because I'm now a working scholar so technically, it's my own money. I'll surely love this machine and I'll promise to be productive as I can be as a computer student lol of course also for games, movies, watching videos, chatting, social networking yess new device for all of them!
