I'm fairly certain each one on this planet has already known that Sony released its latest flagship mobile Xperia Z on CES 2013. Frankly, it is an mind-blowing mobile with beautiful design and top-tier hardware. To see how it stands out from the rat-race, I have put it against the established king of Google castle, the Samsung Galaxy S3. Exactly how does Sony's latest flagship Android device compare to its peer? Now read through my comparison!
Processor
The Xperia Z outfitts the same Snapdragon S4 Pro chip found in the Nexus 4, Optimus G, and Droid DNA. It's a screamer. The chips in two versions of the Galaxy S3 aren't quite on par with the S4 Pro. But for most customers, their performance will be more than adequate. It comes as no surprise that users could embrace the ultra-fast processing while doing HD video games and play DVD on Xperia Z .
Display
If you want to watch Hd videos on your device, obviously, the Xperia Z is your better choice. It owns a 5-inch 1080p Reality display with a resolution of 1920x1280 and impressive pixel density of 441. The Galaxy S3 on the other hand comes with a 4.8-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 720 and 306ppi. Although the Galaxy S3 display was very decent when it unveiled, it is outclassed by the display on the Xperia Z. No matter you watch DVD movies on Sony Xperia Z or download YouTube video for Xperia Z, you will embrace the best video watching experience.
RAM and Storage
There's 1GB of RAM with the Galaxy S3 (or 2GB for the US variants) and it comes in 16, 32 or 64 GB options, all expandable via microSD up to 64GB. Meanwhile the Xperia Z has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable to 32GB via microsd card, so it boasts more RAM in some cases than the Galaxy S3 but less internal storage.
Camera:
It's a big battle section between two gadgets. The Xperia Z gets a 13MP rear camera and a 2.1MP front camera, while the Galaxy S III has an 8MP rear camera and a 1.9MP front camera. Both support 1080p video recording. What I should say here is that Xperia Z undoubtedly wins this round.
Price and release date
Xperia Z is unveiled at CES 2013 event and is expected to be on sale on first quarter of 2013. Price is rumored to be equal with Galaxy Note 2, while Samsung Galaxy S3 is unveiled on May 2012 and available for a starting price of $199. If the rumored price of Sony Xperia Z is true, most likely it will let its followers down.
Final thoughts
Other features like battery, connectivity, software are nearly the same, so I will never take them as comparison. Just on the hardware front, it seems like that the new Xperia Z stacks up quite well against the competition and pulls head of the Galaxy S3 in quite a few aspects. However, can this smartphone sell as well as the Samsung's Galaxy S3? I bet only time could tell us! If you have any ideas about this comparison, why not share us instantly?
