Samsung will beat Sony will definitely be considered to be nonsense, at least the vast majority of people will not believe that day. But the fact is just the opposite, this naive to. Samsung and Sony's latest flagship phone put together a comparison, it is shocking is the Sony Xperia Z is indeed better than the rival Samsung Galaxy S4. There is no doubt that Samsung has become the overlord of the smartphone industry immovable regret.

Of course, we can only say the rival, after all, the Sony Xperia Z is still a very outstanding smart phones, both the evaluation of various media and reflect from the consumer point of view, have shown very good, but the Samsung Galaxy S4 is more All-rounder like a all rolled into one. Sony Xperia Z the similar waterproof practical and flash, so many consumers in real time of purchase more inclined Sony Xperia Z is slightly less rather than more selling point of the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Phone Material

Samsung's Galaxy series of plastic material that has been full of controversy, but the material things, after all, is a personal preference, so Samsung plastic back cover of this approach is understandable. But through the evaluation, we must mention the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a larger screen, but is thinner and lighter body compared to the previousS3 , the feel is the best in this level phone a no exaggeration to say, hand-held feeling than the Sony Xperia Z much better.

Sony Xperia Z design more outstanding. Tough corners, front and rear double glass material and silver border and buttons to ensure this phone has the absolute attractive.In contrast, the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is not so attractive to the eye, and even make a lot of ordinary users will mistake it for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Samsung Galaxy S4 compared to S3 in appearance or upgrade, first screen frame is more narrow, similar metal frame around the body and also more classic. Judging from the overall appearance, Samsung is really intends to the Galaxy S4 appearance closer to S3, so S3 users more intimacy. But we still have to say that the Samsung Galaxy S4 plastic material, after all, compared with the Sony Xperia Z glass texture or a certain gap. Not to mention Sony Xperia Z also has IP57 level of water and dust.

Display: the same parameters, different techniques

If only from the figures, the parameters of the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z is definitely very similar to using a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, ppi (pixels per inch points) up to 441. However, it is only on the number of comparison only.

Samsung Galaxy S4 of course, will be equipped with Samsung's own AMOLED screen, and the PenTile arrangement also improved compared to the previous, making the entire panel to provide users with a better browsing experience. Judging from the display screen of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Apple iPhone 5 is very close to, or even expected to take away the crown of the best display of the Apple iPhone 5.

Sony Xperia Z display it? Although many users may not pay attention to the problem of viewing angle, but have to say Sony Xperia Z TFT screen with AMOLED in this regard are still some gaps. In addition to this problem, the screen of the Sony Xperia Z in terms of brightness and contrast are slightly inferior to Samsung's AMOLED screen. Fortunately, Sony's Bravia engine makes the Sony Xperia Z more vivid color play video and display pictures, but unfortunately Bravia engine does not take effect on the user interface. Overall, the Samsung AMOLED screen victory in this part of the Sony Xperia Z.

Unequal hardware configuration: only figures

If you have always wanted their own lives in the forefront of science and technology, then look no further direct elections Samsung Galaxy S4, and this may be your best choice. Samsung Galaxy S4 processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, and with Adreno 320 graphics processor plus 2GB RAM. This configuration makes this phone to run sub-ahead. Keep in mind, however, these scores is not meaningful for ordinary consumers.
In contrast, the hardware configuration of the Sony Xperia Z processor seems a whole generation behind. However, by running the sub-achievements, the gap is not large, and use the difference is not obvious. The other two phones have a microSD card slot, but Sony Xperia Z one of the design for waterproof considerations, Samsung Galaxy S4 to replace the battery.

But compared to the camera features, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is superior. Including sound photos, stage effects, dual lens camera refreshing definitely make the user experience more fun to take pictures.

System software

If your Android smartphone somewhat understanding, I believe that these two companies each interface are not unfamiliar. Samsung's TouchWiz is getting better, the colors more vivid, more feature-rich, but at the same time a little bit bloated. In this conference, one of the most eye-catching features is the Air View, users can not be operated by hand phone case through the eyes of phone manipulation. In addition, WatchOn remote control function, S Health and group broadcast (Group Cast) function very well.
Sony Xperia Z is a low-key style, the overall interface and Google Android ice cream sandwich native interface closer to the dark themes and design elements to enable users to refreshing. But overall, Samsung's TouchWiz from a functional as well as practical aspects are more competitive.
