    Galaxy Plus is a better version of it's original.
    Xperia Compact is a smaller version of it's original.

    You cannot compare the two, as they are completely different.
    Only an idiot cannot see this.
    It simply and literally says "compact", learn the word, lol!

        A best software with hardware limitation, the result is that the software can't do the best..

        If the software more better than hardware, why Samsung go for AMOLED than LCD for their display panel?
        Why Samsung always upgrade their chipset for flagship product? Why not just use snapdragon S2?
        Why galaxy A9 2018 use four lens instead of just one?

            Nahid, 02 Aug 2018But here sammy outperform the xz2Well, That could be. But it's obvious Sony has developed there camera app and image quality apparently, which is a good sign they are back in the game with recently introduced new camera app next flag ship from Sony will outperform Sammy.

                      As for the "official tester": he didn't think about using a same custom camera app to compare. Camera apps are able to transform and misform so much from color till gamma and so on.
                      If this was a serious comparison, they had used one standard software.

                        Sony has always ruled cameras in phones already because of the lens.
                        It is always by all means unfair judging cameras by their software, where true comparisons are needed with the same software.
                        Newer samsungs have a slight more light sensitivity, but is nothing compared to sony. Because sony has a constant minimum, wether it is tele or wide. Most pictures, even selfies, are made with tele. Where wide is only active/used when taking pictures within less than 1m distance. Even a full meter is reached very easily.
                        So with Sony his constant performance and Carl Seiz lens, how is a mass producer a rival... Logic cannot explain.

Real life image is better than reducing all noise which makes the picture edited or fake. The software of Galaxy S9 makes picture clean as posssible. It doesn't appear natural.

The two companies take different approaches to handling detail ... moreI've seen very few instances where the Samsung actually did smudged out detail compared to the Sony, it's because the Sony retains so much noise (somehow even at base ISO, no less, I haven't seen so much luminance noise from my Note 8's RAW outputs below ISO100) that it's almost impossible to make out the finest pixel-grade details.

                              Well, at least XZ2's light trails are better than P20Pro's ghosts.

                                    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.
