Shanti Dope, 14 Sep 2018A Note 9 with better primary and front camera
A Note 9 with louder and better stereo speakers... moreNot going to touch on the subjective topics, but the blatant ones...
Sony has had faster updates than Samsung for over the past 2 years. They updated their entire line to Oreo months before Samsung. And Samsung still hasn't finished.
Battery management is also historically better on Sony. Sony acheives nearly the same endurance score with a battery size nearly 20% smaller. If it had a 4000mAh battery as well, it'd be acing all endurance charts.
Sony's phone scored higher in performance on many of the tests.

AnonD-772315, 14 Sep 2018Damn the number of Sony fanboys bashing Samsung S9, Note 9 and Huawei P20 pro is just astoundi... moreThe reason why the reviewer said that is because they don't want to create any backlash like saying Sony Oled is better than the rest. Instead, they would rather cater to the majority who like the familiar display of the Galaxy, Apple, Huawei, and etc...But, who knows, deep down inside the reviewer could have prefer the oled on the XZ3 better than the rest?

So, they made "measurements"...
And made a funny conclusion on a set of numbers.
Interestingly enough tho, in real life eye test, when put side by side, Sonys Galaxy just looks sharper, brighter, more colourfull than Samsungs Galaxy:

And Amoled screen INDEED allows such an option of having pixels with such RGB code.
Just google the information my friend. ^^

1:0 to S9
Secondary camera on back:
2:0 to S9
Better FP location:
3:0 to S9
Better sensing of taking Slow mo.*
4:0 (kind of?)
(Ofcourse: Sony xperia XZ3 can take far better Slow mo videos than S9. I am taking about the camera "Noticing" a good moment to capture a Slow Mo event. And even here it's mentioned that Xperia XZ3 lacks that feature. So to have that excellent moment of Super-slow-motion vid on an Xperia device. The USER have to be skilled in capturing it in the right moment)
And the shift in color: a nicely calibrated screen on S9 has less shift than on XZ3. That'd make 5:0.
Anything else you'd like to be recalled of? I am no fan of either Samsung nor Sony. For me. I seek the ultimate device that has the least compromises.

Was kind of my dream getting the XZ3 before opting to get Note 9. Happy I didn't.

I intentionally had to check the stars on the S9 review. It got almost 5 stars. The XZ3 barely got above 4 stars.
Up GSMA... They pulled another one. I can't find even a single aspect that makes the S9 better than the XZ3. Mehn, I'm tired of these review sites. It's becoming stale

seriously!? why everybody complain about the placement of the fingerprint scanner. NOW try to type something on your phone single handedly, and look where your index finger are. It makes your little finger support the bottom of your phone. this fps placement is the most ergonomic if you really think about it wisely

benchmark -xz3 aces, others lag far behind
battery life- second only to note 9
screen
brigtness- xz3 is behind only note 9 and s9 plus
sunlight legibility- xz3 is on par with note 9 and s9 plus
pixel density- xz3 wins but by a small margin against
note9 and s9 plus
speakers- xz3and p20 pro in excellent category others
are behind
software - xz3 with pie others are just shy
camera - go to the photo comparison tool and see for
yourself which is the best
sure p20 pro has 3 cameras and only xz3 is single lensed.
but it makes up for it with portrait shots, 4k hdr video recording (only on xz3), smart launch, predictive capture, full hd 960fps
so I guess you are right except for one word.
xz3 is far "beyond" the others

8bit SDR screen
Useless 2nd cam
No IP rating
No sd slot
Notch
Caught cheating benchmark and sending data to China
Mono speaker
No 4K HDR Rec2020 or HDR10 recording
Lower bitrate video
I'd rather pay more 200 to have all this, Compact was 700.
Only good things are speed and 4K EIS ( best in my opinion)

Pure black does not exist in reality. Also you can use max brightness as much as you want.

Xperia is the only one that can play HDR 10 bits rec 2020, Samsung displays are poor in brightness (370 bits) poor in subpixel ((penile display) poor in colors (8 bits display)

Not strange that charging is so slow with Pixel charger. I read somewhere that XZ3 supports up to 45W USB PD charging and what Pixel charger gives is about 18W (at least this is max for this device), right/ With 45 it should be (in theory) 3 times faster.

[deleted post]Haha no.
Gsmarena are not professional measuring screens do not even have the right equipment, you need hardware and software compatible with HDR screens 10 bits rec 2020.
the one who made the analysis hates sony for some reason, apart from not knowing how to analyze screens or having the right tools has said many nonsense, an 8-bit screen is never better than a 10-bit screen rec 2020, a screen amoled pentile never it is better than an RGB and the brightness of an oled HDR is measured with 17% white and works differently than the lcd measurements.
