+waterresistant
+faster software updates
+more custom roms for xperia z
+not plastic
+better cam
now you know why?

You can name everything the LG does better as well. At least try to approach this from both sides or your comment becomes completely irrelevant.
I'd personally go with the Xperia Z because it is more comfortable to hold and has a premium feel to it, wish it was coming to AT&T.

-Water resistance is a bulls**t, created by Sony ;)
-Faster software updates? You must be kidding...slow and no quality (ICS 4.0 for 2012 lineup).
-Really small percent of users are using custom roms.
-LG plastic has brilliant quality, and it´s not as fragile as glass. (personal experience).
-You can eat the 13mpx sensor for dinner and lunch...the same: no quality.
Now I would like to ask you, do you know, why I don´t know?

!!!!!

Oh, of course...How can a human being be jealous of a TELEPHONE? Maybe, you have put something in your breakfast hat shouldn´t be there.

and more importantly, LG has IPS display while xperia Z still uses TFT crap. And the exmor sensor is too overrated.

So water resistance is bulls**t but not having one is a good thing?

Says person in whose user profile "Want it" section we can see "Sony Xperia Z"...
25. Commentator posted on 06 Mar 2013, 10:25 7
Says the person whose user profile says:
"My goal is to attract as many red thumb as I can, and pretend Apple fanboys (and Samsung fanboys as well) to show how stupidity these fanboys are :)."

While I would personally choose the HTC One over these device they certainly do not look like crap. It's sad to think that you believe Samsung's plastic phones do NOT look like crap and that these do.
*Samsung makes great phones, but they do not look very good IMHO.

I bath with my Xperia Z. What's the problem? The screen is 100% gorgeous! Don't remember that there's the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 there for great photos and great video. The camera is extremely detailed and delivers very realistic photoshots. If you are not satisfied with somehow strange color, you can surely fix that in the standard photo mode, instead of using Superior Auto. Good screen but compact device always comes with a not too long-lasting battery. I don't know what you're talking about the high cost but in my city is 1/5 cheaper than the other expensive phones.

g pro over most phones right now till the gs4 note 3 come out anyway lol
8. mocir posted on 06 Mar 2013, 08:34 13
If you show both phones to random people, they would obviously choose the Z.
10. smallworld posted on 06 Mar 2013, 08:40 9
And btw Xperia Z also support Wifi direct and Miracast.

Optimus g pro should have won but it loses because its an lg!
17. BabylonShine posted on 06 Mar 2013, 09:22 7
they made Sony watrer proff because its over heated and battery gose empty XD
and they made it very roughbust because i keep hitting my xperia on table to keep it work
21. rusticguy posted on 06 Mar 2013, 10:05 8
For a moment i thought it was Samsung and not LG.
23. bhagi108 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 10:17 3
And I thought the Xperia Z was BIG. Good thing I decided on the HTC One to replace my Lumia 920.
27. serge327 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 11:13 1
I don't ever care the phone's viewing angle.. because i didn't use my phone from side way.. also.. i hope the phone keep the bad viewing angle to avoid ppls to see my phone content when i am outside.. But say really, the Xperia Z screen color look better than LG Pro in normal angle. that's enough... I like SONY, because of it premium design, elegant UI, and the design always surprise me when SONY launch a new phone. This is just my opinion (Sorry for my bad english)
28. Tigon8 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 11:19 1
I wonder why they left the antutu results for the xperia z out! Oh yeah I do because the Z scores almost 21000 beating the G Pro even though it has a "inferior" processor checking online it looks like the Z beats the problem on a number of other benchmarks to, just looking at the pro I think to myself how desperate and useless can you be that a company this big can't design their own products, I'm amazed Samsung hasn't sued them yet even the icons are the same well at least they managed to include the cheap plastic body to lol, sorry for the long comment.

stop fighting like kids !
there are both better than the iPhone, and that's the only thing that matter !
lol
31. CX3NT3_713 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 12:35 3
both are great phones,,but its a hard choice... I'd be happy, with either one ..
33. Esf_Kid posted on 06 Mar 2013, 13:18 5
worked with Z tonight and going to buy a white one tomorrow.
the most beautiful phone i posses in my life.
i felt the meaning of PREMIUM.
38. TMach posted on 06 Mar 2013, 17:00 3
Guess the reviewer has been smoking something.......I own the Xperia Z in white and for someone who has used pretty damn much every top end phone, this is the best display I have seen on a phone...SIMPLE! Until something else like the HTC One proves otherwise, in any event, but until then it is the Xperia Z. That is not all, build quality is another Sony USP and I will always take a Sony over plastic, anytime!
39. soshi posted on 06 Mar 2013, 18:00 1
LG pro looks like samsung, both hardware and interface
41. papss posted on 06 Mar 2013, 19:30 3
I agree.. The Sony phone is pretty nice and premium while lg dropped the ball with this one.. LG has been making great strides in design until this copy of a cheap looking phone.
42. MAG33 posted on 07 Mar 2013, 00:46 1
if you dont have mental problems you clearly see that optimus pro is much better
43. billy3010 posted on 07 Mar 2013, 02:32 1
There is an error in the review - Sony Xperia Z also has it's own internet browser that allows for flash/desktop site.
With regards to updates, both manufacturers are slow to update but LG are the absolute pits - for this reason alone, I will never own another handset by them regardless of their innovation and specs.
I own a white Xperia Z - I can hold it/use functions (just about) with one hand, mainly due to the positioning of the on/off/standby button on the side. Anything bigger (like the LG) and it would be impossible
44. Dj567 posted on 07 Mar 2013, 06:39 1
this guy always sees the negatives.... so, he might not have been able to buy a phone for himself
47. legend1 posted on 07 Mar 2013, 12:45 1
in terms of processing ability the lg is a lot more powerful but in camera and design the z is better and screen
49. Googlethis posted on 08 Mar 2013, 10:27 1
both look good but i think ill get the xperia z just like the way it looks.

Water resistance is awesome, going to the beach and dropping it into a bucket of water or anywhere wouldn't be a problem. xperia z has a unique design which kinda attracts my attention but the optimus g looks similar to note 2?!

I saw a review on the Optimus G Pro on Youtube, and guess what, the device lagged RIGHT AT THE START OF THE VIDEO WHILE SCROLLING THE SCREEN! Seems that 1.7 Ghz is not enough. Get the Sony Xperia Z. Who cares about viewing angles?! You won't view your phone HORIZONTALLY won't you?
