A month after HTC launched its flagship Butterfly smartphone into the Indian market, technology buffs are already anticipating a final smackdown between the device and Sony's Xperia Z which will debut this week.

Though both Xperia Z and HTC Butterfly have high-end specs, consumers may face still it difficult when it comes to choosing the best.

With powerful quad-core processors and big storage capacity, the smartphones match closely with each other.

A breakdown of specifications between HTC's newly-launched Butterfly and Sony's upcoming Xperia Z may help users take their pick:

 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.
