Xperia 1 has a better camera than HTC One ME, because although it has a way worse 12 mega pixels resolution back facing camera, a tinier back camera sensor providing a worse image quality and a worse 3840x2160 video quality, it also counts with a lot bigger aperture to capture better low light images.
The Sony Xperia 1 has a greater memory capacity to install games and applications than HTC One ME, because although it has an external memory card slot that admits up to 512 GB against 2 TB, it also counts with more internal storage capacity. The Xperia 1 has improved battery performance than HTC One ME, because it has a 3330mAh battery size instead of 2840mAh.
Although Sony Xperia 1 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than HTC One ME, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as HTC One ME. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the HTC One ME, giving up a couple features, but you'll get the most with your savings.
