I'm using Sony since the day of W950i till Xperia X.
And I admit that they had bad control in dynamic range. But this time around, it all changes!
Now let's waif for S9+ versus XZ2 Premium ;)

Anonymous, 14 Apr 2018Nice twisting attemptNot at all. Just the truth.
The two companies take different approaches to handling detail vs. Noise. To criticise the Sony without recognising the issues with the Samsung is just fanboying.
It's one of the things I like about GSMs comparison, they recognise that there are pros and cons to both.

Your point?

Okay, now I get it, pixelpeeping is not fair ... moreWhy thank you for your concern. But Us Sony users certainly wont need those tripods, as 1/8 sec shutter is perfectly usable handhelded, and with that 1/8 sec shutter provides great results, with lower auto ISO, and so much preserved detail as is presented in this here shootout.
And is just 0.2 sec more to handhold than what S9 uses in auto, even on tripod.
If I want extremely great lowlight shots, I ll get a tripod tho, yes.

Zoom in further on the Samsung: I guarantee you'll see some noise.

Which is better at crop? https://imgur.com/gallery/aFsFt
I would give the XZ2 an obvious advantage, It just got better looking and more beautiful square pixels, and I just dont see the noise you are talking about.

lek, 07 Apr 2018Bruh.. You're the one who did limited, limited your mind to defend XZ2.
It's not all about no... moreNoise is not a "problem" unless you crop 150%+ and if you crop to identical depth to the S9 (IE account for the different focal length of the lens and the different resolution of the sensor) it disappears.
You're seeing it more in these images because the level of crop is more on the Sony due to the extra resolution and the difference in lens, meaning that GSMs crop tool goes further in on the xperia. You can clearly see it doing so because when you crop the image you're further towards the subject and when you look at it uncropped it's further away.
Crowing "more noise" in such a comparison is resolutely ignoring all of the other advantages, as well as forgiving the Samsung for getting some of the textures in these shots just plain wrong.

The s9 display is the most accurate display when in that mode. Just like pretty much every year. But clearly it's in a default or user chosen saturated mode.
Seriously... Common sense and logic.
And clearly from the samples and article they both went for very similar accurate colors in the photo itself. With each having their own variances.
Again... I can't stress this enough to all of you... Common sense... Logic... Use your brain....

In the pictures that have both phone's displaying photo and the object, Sony's color is almost the same as the object while Samsung's is showing a different color.
