SAMOLED wins imo, but it is too hard to tell by that second pic as the camera is focused solely on the GS 4 thus looks much better.
Personally I don't expect there to be "much" difference in terms of viewing angles (except when it comes to blacks), certainly nothing to worry about anyway, haven't used either phones yet but with the one X screen, it was just as good as SAMOLED and the one screen seems to be even better.
Shame that HTC didn't make the speaker areas smaller and reduce the bezel, not to mention had a better button/logo arrangement and that hard home button on the GS 4 just annoys me and then the Z is just a rectangle slab with a bland front design
Please let the X have an excellent design overall!
The Z screen is just awful, why on earth didn't Sony just keep the bravia engine enabled throughout the UI rather than just the gallery/media player

Another good ad:
HTC need to market their camera/zoe better as a lot of review sites/users don't seem to be aware that it is has most of those camera features too.

you need to root and install a modded YT app with HD over mobile internet.
Everyone needs root!
Have you updated your firmware yet? I've looked around and a few people are saying they're getting constant pop-ups about unauthorized software once rooted again so I'm reluctant to do it.
Here's some pics I took yesterday at a festival in Manchester to give you an idea of how the camera performs in general usage rather than going out and trying to get the best pics possible. Conditions vary from dark indoors to blinding sunlight from all the wrong angles! Miles better than my S2 and a noted improvement on my mates S3 LTE. In fact it performs similar to my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10) in many situations, apart from the zoom and low light.

Great pics ^^^^
Viewing angles are great on the one - almost OLED levels.
Yes black are good for LCD but as you know OLED is on another level.
Its the best LCD I've seen.

Yes, i have found this. It does seem very zoomed in.
@kona Great picture comparison there. Thanks for that 
It's too close to call between the HO and S4 in terms of viewing angles and colours, however what shocks me the most is the performance of the Z.
It's dreadful
Why on earth did Sony have to spoil a great phone with extremely poor viewing angles and bad screen? They should've kept the Bravia Engine on despite what apps the user runs.
Shame that

I'm not sure I'd go that far. I think the camera and the pattern black thing on the back would be the only things I'd change. However the screen is lovely. I can barely take my eyes off it at first. Also the panorama thing is much improved.
