Z3 Sony Xperia and Samsung Galaxy S5: there is no story, the debacle … – OptiMagazine

The Sony Xperia Z3 was presented only on Wednesday, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 is old , so to speak, already a few months , as the protagonist of the MWC in Barcelona in February. The comparison between the two devices is a must, also to understand the possible scenarios of a smartphone market increasingly dancer.

If you just think about the fact that the Sony Xperia Z2 was presented in conjunction with the Samsung Galaxy S5, with a good understanding of how the Z3 has wanted to make a step forward and put themselves above the South Korean competitor. Let us examine the main components of the two devices, plus not forgetting some software .

We start from display : The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a screen 5.1-inch with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The new Zperia Z3 is slightly larger, ie 5.2 inches but the resolution is identical. Score of substantive equality and, therefore, the first model plus almost imperceptible to the eye of the user. Could more affect the brightness of the screen, the Galaxy S5 guaranteed by technology Super AMOLED and the Z3 from Triluminos: it makes the screen more readable in direct sunlight.

Under the shell, the CPU in both phones is the same , called a Snapdragon with 801 clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and also the GPU is identical, ie Adreno 330 The first major difference, however, has on battery . The component is only 2800 mAh in the Galaxy S5, no less than 3100 mAH for the Sony Xperia Z3. The first device with the power-saving mode also promises 24 hours of use with only 10% charge (but with reduced functionality), but also the competitor is not joking, providing two days of battery life without recharging.

On the camera is held almost a struggle to learn . The 16 MP resolution component of the Galaxy S5, albeit considerable, they seem really small compared to the 20.7 MP of the new Xperia Z3. All the more, the second model enables the recording of 4K video.

Also because of the time evolution, the Sony Xperia Z3 card wins than the Galaxy S5 . Some functions such as software compatibility with the PlayStation 4 for a remote management then, will be a real plus for different users, and instead will not weigh perhaps for many non-presence of the fingerprint reader on the Galaxy S5.

Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not keeping pace with the newcomer. The choice of the Japanese to come out with a new device after only 6 months paid at the expense of competition. With the release of new products renowned hi-tech, primarily the iPhone 6, the top of the range is destined perhaps to fill the background of this market? The next few weeks will be crucial to understand it in a definitive way.
