We've witnessed a series of awesome smartphones get announced these last few days. Last week we had IFA 2013, where Sony unveiled its new flagship, the Xperia Z1, while Samsung introduced the third iteration of its phablet series - the Note 3. As hot as these device are, though, there's a phone that can easily steal any other handset's thunder, and that's the iPhone. With today's introduction of the colorful iPhone 5C and the flagship iPhone 5S, Apple has once again turned the spotlight in its direction.
However, being the diehard nerds that we are, we are by no means going to stop talking about those large-screened Android flagships anytime soon. At the same time, though, we're utterly interested in Apple's latest invention as well. So, how about we combine all these topics into a single post? Let's throw a specs comparison party, where we can examine each and every feature of the Apple iPhone 5S, Sony Xperia Z1 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - side by side. We realize that probably each of these three devices fits in a slightly different product category, but hey, it's more than certain that there will soon be tons of users out there who will find themselves choosing between these products, as different as they are. So, why don't we make it easier for them, then? Here's a quick specs comparison featuring the three smartphones, but if you'd like to go even more in-depth, just follow this link for our full specs comparison.
