Comparison review
The HTC One M9 has a score of 77.7, which is a little bit better than the Xperia Z3's 77.3 score. Both of these devices have Android OS, but the HTC One M9 has the newer 5.0 version and Xperia Z3 has Android 4.4.4, so it provides some additional features and enhanced performance. Although HTC One M9 and the Xperia Z3 were released only a few months apart, HTC One M9's body is a little bit thicker but also a bit lighter.
HTC One M9 counts with a bit faster CPU than Xperia Z3, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM, the HTC One M9 also has a 64-bits processing unit, a higher number of cores (but slower) and a faster graphics processing unit running at 600 MHz. Xperia Z3 counts with just a bit better display than HTC One M9, because although it has a little worse number of pixels per display inch, and they both have the same exact resolution of 1920 x 1080px, the Xperia Z3 also counts with a bit bigger screen.
The Xperia Z3 and the HTC One M9 feature quite similar memory for applications, games, photos and videos, they have a slot for external memory cards that admits up to 128 GB and exactly the same internal storage. The Sony Xperia Z3 features just a little bit longer battery performance than HTC One M9, because it has 3200mAh of battery capacity against 2840mAh.
Xperia Z3 has a slightly better camera than HTC One M9, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same video quality, the Xperia Z3 also has a larger diafragm aperture for better low light photography, a larger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a camera with more MP.
Although HTC One M9 is a better device, it costs a little more money than the Xperia Z3, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xperia Z3. If you are trying to save some money, you can get Xperia Z3, letting go a few features and specifications, but you will get the most with your budget.
