How do you find the battery life ?
Like what others said, the battery life is not that great because of the power hungry QHD screen but the standby time (not turning on the screen) is outstanding provided you set the Location mode to "Battery Saving (Networks only)". The charging time is very fast too but this one maybe because I use the Anker 40W charger. I haven’t used its original charger yet.
HTC One has mono speaker indeed louder where else Xperia Z2 has more clearer surround sound output but both speaker placement are on the front side.
HTC One (M7 and M8) in fact has two front stereo speakers. I use speakers a lot for hand-free calling when driving and also to listen daily to ebooks using TTS engines (Acapela & Cereproc apps), so I can say with confidence that nothing ever beats HTC One when it comes to speaker sound quality. My LG G3 speaker is loud but it sounds like a hollow tin can when compared to my old HTC One M7. Anyway don’t take my word for it. You have to make the comparison yourself to believe.
