Sony Xperia XZ2 vs Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Speed Test & Camera Comparison!

[@jamesbelkin9204]

For the xz2, if you have clear audio+ turned on turn it off. Switch on the dynamic normalizer and set the equalizer to treble boost, it will increase the volume.

[@karo3529]

James Belkin true. I don't use clear audio on my xperia xa1 ultra. Clear audio is not ideal for audiophiles. I use bass booster.

[@sumesh_singh563]

DSEE HX mode is more louder and clear..

[@bulitzecroz9463]

James Belkin, thanks for the tip. 👍👌

[@raflirinaldi1071]

Sumesh Doal i love that feature

[@HBC101TVStudios]

Make sure you have lossless Hi-Res audio files to enjoy the best out of XZ2's audio quality.

[@Profinish-o3t]

Just ordered my Sony XZ2 should be here on Tuesday can't wait!!!

skilledslav how much you bought it?

[@Profinish-o3t]

Got mine off of Amazon it's the international version unlocked will work with T-Mobile or at&t I have at&t but got it for $860 USD

[@SpencersStuffTV]

I still think Sony is the overall winner. Samsung stepped up the speakers but the instrument separation and mid range on the phone speakers are quite a bit more muffled. Also turn off that skin smoothing effect on the Sony man. It looks horrible haha

[@PhoneBattles]

for skin smoothing, assuming you mean for the selfie camera? haha I don't think Sony has a skin smoothing effect (like Huawei and other phones have), but I agree it definitely looks like that and it does look bad lol

[@SpencersStuffTV]

Phone Battles yeah Sony has a smooth skin effect on their phone... Although that may only be on pictures. Yeah that front camera is just... Blagh haha. I think this is a precursor to the xz pro. I can't wait to see what they do in august

[@kristapskalnins964]

Is xz pro or whatever it will be called is confirmed to come out in august?

[@SpencersStuffTV]

[@ehsansiam3123]

Sony has the best ips display and samsung has the best amoled

[@atereolusola2497]

I use a xz1 compact at 720p, the display Stil looks so good

[@soundmoneystacker2787]

Not really

[@zairrdvordenta7724]

Dylan Aarhus Samsung maybe the king right now but Sony always gets trolled for the bezel issues. Sony takes the display game seriously XZ Premium for example The first 4K phone HdR ready Besides LCD panel are brighter and have better contrasts Im not this anti Samsung guy .This is coming from a guy who can show some genuine shortcomings of S8/S9 : they're not that different and I actually prefer Note 8 for things that wont change like s Pen,the design etc If S9 had this 4K the Android authority would brag how it increases their productivity Some bright spots for Sony 1.They are willing to change design .FINALLY. Not that the Previous XZ was crap .It looks hellasexy it's just that it's a bit tired. 2.Super fast Updates aside from Pixel. 3.Having things like micro SD ,headphone jack ,stereo speakers 4.The camera that was OP . 5.Clean Software ( literally any phone is trimmed down against sammy I can't say everything here.

[@whimsicalmage3540]

Zairrd Vordenta brighter displays?

[@carlalala5391]

Still.. SONY! 💓💓

[@PhoneBattles]

👍 👍 👍

[@ryugalaw]

Samsung made a great step up from S8, keeping it's good design and only fixing what was wrong last year, like Fingerprint Sensor's placement, and RAM management... However, the XZ2 really looks so attractive and innovative. It's a media powerhouse in my opinion... And it seems it's driving you crazy that it can't stay still on the table lol... Great phones overall, and great video.. Thank you

Guys...I don't understand why people are saying Sony phones has IPS LCD display 😬😬😬 it's not only LCD , its Bravia triluminos LCD display same as used in Sony Bravia TV , which is more better than super omled as we can see in this video clearly. Sony rocks😎😎😎

[@alexd3411]

nikhil foka it’s gimmick, nothing more. Super Amoled is the best display in the market. Making LCD with more saturated colours doesn’t make it better, there are standards like sRGB and DCI P3... not to mention black colour in Amoled is actual black unlike Sony’s screen. The future is MicroLED, but as of now Samsung has the best displays and nothing even comes close.

[@DEADLY_HUMAN]

[@jayumichiwitxyu3004]

just iam like sony

[@Innosaintify]

Caught my attention when he said the samsung has a larger battery... Invalid point. Poor optimizations says "hello". GSMA review says the sony has a better battery life(even being LCD) and qnovo/battery care point at a better battery life span. Mehn, sony jokes not with quality. From hardware to software, oozes quality.

[@shadowgamer8575]

Innosaint Nwoke Chinedu samsung still has the larger battery he was being objective But sony has better battery optimization

[@PhoneBattles]

I do plan to do a real world battery test soon

[@d3athmarines]

They also don't mention that the Sony slows their charging at 90% to save the quality of the battery, they should test like fastest to 50% capacity.

[@Diabepis]

It's not poor optimization dumbass. S9 has high res. screen. Battery is still better on S9+ S9+ web browsing : 11:15h video playback : 16:45h XZ2 web browsing : 11:17h video playback : 10:51h

[@Innosaintify]

Sam Fisher You see where U lost it right? Dude, did you ask yourself why those same "Res" didn't make the S9+ score lower on video playback. What ever it scores even now is just credited to it beign a good AMOLED and this thing is having a 3500mah. My bigger surprise is that it's keeping up with the XZ2. Thought we are in for another Sony class. Although it's kid brother is still in a D..k measuring contest with the likes of the 5T and XZP.

[@VWbobby94]

Such an amazing battle!!! Two amazing smartphones!!! Small edge to XZ2 overall. Awesome video 😀

[@samsonokoro5036]

even in games it was 2-2, he made a mistake with Asphalt car racing. Though i must say Samsung has really stepped up the performance from the S8 which was just crap.

[@crs85551]

Ralph Contreras you are rite!

[@samsonokoro5036]

The mistake saying the Samsung loaded faster when the Xz2 was a tad quicker to load

[@insansiregar6158]

And this is not even the Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium yet. The only thing that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is significantly better than the Sony XPERIA XZ2 is their superior Super AMOLED display, their design, and their marketing lol. And yet, Sony's IPS display doesn't look that much different than Samsung's Super AMOLED display. Other than that, Sony is better for the rest. Even Samsung's camera lens actually produced by Sony. Just like Apple iPhone X's Super AMOLED display that is produced by Samsung.

[@ralph3431]

Insan Siregar Yeah bro, Samsung have better display, but Sony rape in the rest. #SonyTeam

[@anubhabhalder5703]

this xz2 could've been my dream phone, it has everything except a headphone jack😫😫😫 (The back seems a bit slippery though 4:45)

[@samsonokoro5036]

Just wait for the Xz2 premium with better camera specs expected more ram and hopefully they'll return the headphone jack. They should also try and reduce the bezels slightly more especially the bottom part on the premium version. That would be the perfect phone.

[@anubhabhalder5703]

Samson Okoro agree...as far as performance is concerned this one is invincible already. Design is the onlu concern.

[@kiragiles9075]

Gotta wait for the premium

[@Cryosxify]

Get with the times and buy their in ear or over the ear ldac supporting wireless earphones

[@ninjajin]

Anubhab Halder I need a headphone jack too, because im going be to lazy or forget to charge my wireless. unless i got two of them it wouldnt matter but im not buying two wireless headphones.

[@busta305able]

between the XZ2, galaxy S9 + which heats a lot?

[@entertainhub21]

Sony is always best

[@yna51]

Sony's new design look fantastic and the XZ2 will be my choice in 2018.

[@Ryan_Harkin]

Had the Sony Ericsson arc, Sony S, Z, Z1, Z2, Z5p, ZXp. (I'm a big Sony fan) Sony Bravia TV's are the only TV's I buy. PS fan with a ps4(give it to the kids) and a ps4 pro, Sony home theatre systems ect. I'm overdosing on Sony. The lack of headphone jack made me get the S9+. Pretty happy with it so far, the AMOLED screen is amazing outdoors. I can actually watch a video in sunlight. Plus the Dolby Atmos powered speakers are up there with the best of them. I can actually here the music when I'm in the shower. I think I'd really miss those features when/if I go back to Sony. If Sony had a headphone jack an oled screen and tuned speakers. It would be the best phone out. Come on Sony, you were the walkmam guys. The cybershot guys and your Tv's were the best screens around. Pull it all together. PLEASE.

[@PhoneBattles]

yeah really hope sony learns their lessons and the XZ2 Pro/Premium model is a better effort. they're not apple, they need the headphone jack. going to affect sales

[@PhoneBattles]

S9+ is definitely a great phone though, very well rounded.

[@Ryan_Harkin]

Phone Battles I'm quite pleased with it so far, even though I'm already on my second S9+ due to the first one having a few dead pixels. Thank you for making the videos.

[@reubenlalnuntluanga5058]

Im reading comments here because im considering a switch to s9 after about a decade of sony...since the time of ericsson.im a huge fan of sony too.your comment gives me the chills because i respect this brand.

[@ibrar1001]

now xz3 has better screen,, go get it and also louder than s9+

[@travisd9338]

Is this a fair test? Should it be an Xz2 premium vs the s9+ or Xz2 vs s9?

[@luisfernandoesquivelgonzal4485]

Grate video! Your the best 😁

[@the_matchless]

Nice job, did you have the dynamic vibration turned on in the audio test? If not then could you please do a video to show the difference in sound output specially in terms of base with dynamic vibration turned on Vs off. Thanks, keep it up bro 👍🏼

[@vongtaing6059]

I'll buy the Xperia XZ2, It has better performance , It costs a lot less than the Galaxy S9

[@NaudVanDalen]

S9 is better than XZ2. The only reason I'm considering an XZ2 is because you get free headphones with it, which you can't use with the headphone jack ironically. :P You get really expensive $380 bluetooth headphones for free if you pre-order the XZ2. That's like 50% more value than the S9.

[@ML19096]

I don't like XZ2 design at the back...The camera should be at the place of the flash

[@PhoneBattles]

agreed, very strange placement. don't understand it

[@NwoduTochi]

And then people love the rainbow screen🤣 Sony’s ips caught up fast

[@gillo9070]

Sony XZ Pro to come soon to teach XZ2 how it is done...can’t wait for that battle. Excellent and complete video 👍 Take care now

[@troy5568]

XZ2 is just like XZ1 of last year. Great phones but not exactly Sony's best effort. Their Premium segment will always be the real legacy of Sony's engineering excellence, and will build upon the masterpiece of the XZ Premium.

I have the z5 and just got a s9+ is very nice the camera 1.5 us the best 128gb. Sick as for the screen you can turn the brightness up..240 fps 1080 no time-limit is more important looks the bomb bigger screen. These are my reasons I went for s9+ headphones jack akg headphones the best I used in a while it's about needs

[@PhoneBattles]

all valid points, S9+ is an excellent phone and Sony messed up a few things about XZ2. hope they do better with XZ2 Premium/Pro

is xz2 you are using here a 4gb model or 6gb??

thanks! I did the default settings, but is soft skin even an option for video? thought just for pictures

[@hristijanjovanoski1741]

Phone Battles Oops, I'm sorry... I have the XA1 and it seems it doesn't have any soft skin effect for videos...

[@johnsonx2426]

My only two complaints are the position of the fingerprint scanner which is very low and the spinning issue on table so far.

[@imranhussein55]

Ali Bashir have you tried it?

[@spinnie0]

I got used to it pretty quickly, and it has some advantages as well. You don't easily confuse the camera for fingerprint scanner because they are well separated. Funny side note, even when I accidentally grab the phone upside down I still unlock it with fingerprint scanner because the location is quite central on the phone, so works both ways lol.

I'm a sony phone but overall id recommend Samsung s9+ , if u dont like Samsung like me , wait for xz2 pro , sony just rip all of us with xz2 , wait for xz2 PRo, if sony disappoints us in xz2 pro , that's it , I'm leaving sony and following Nokia , just one more chance sony , just one more

[@jawdatfares2831]

SONY,, , , that was awesome,,,, we love Xperia tem

[@brunogamito]

Hey guys is just me that realize the Samsung s9+ has a better camera, I was reading the comments but didn't find anyone paying attention to the camera comparison.

[@ES-qy2ju]

The S9 sounds louder, because the Dolby Atmos app has a very aggressive normalizer (It rather amplifies all the middle frequencies) and works with youtube.

[@karo3529]

E. S. The Sony has clear audio on that's why. It kind of lowers instrument output and enhances voice output. I don't use clear audio on my phone.

[@silkyway8596]

Great Video! Please could you say which Battery is better? / which battery lasts for how long? Many thanks!

[@PhoneBattles]

tbh I'm not sure which battery is better since I charge all my phones after using them most of the time. but I do plan on doing that video. the S8 had better battery life than XZP/XZ1, though.

[@silkyway8596]

Many thanks!

[@longsss]

For those saying sony's display looks better, sony display is at full brightness whereas samsung s9 is not.. lol.

[@ES-qy2ju]

5:34 There really is not much difference, it's almost the same. Besides i prefer the colors on the XZ2, 3:24 just look the skin tone oversaturated on the s9, the colora on the XZ2 are well separated.

[@PhoneBattles]

both are at full brightness. actually I think you can see that when I bring down the drop down menu for the WiFi (after Chrome)

[@longsss]

Phone Battles is almost to full brightness, there is still this orange bar that you didnt slide across. A notification will appear as you slide it across the orange bar.. theres quite a significant difference in brightness

[@usmantariq7997]

Yu Lee Bro look at 5:34, it is on Orange Bar. Because if it wasn't, it would've been Blue. Though it's not on 100%, but I'm sure that even if it was on 100%, the difference wouldn't been that much noticeable. I saying this because I am using S7, so I know this.

[@longsss]

Usman Tariq im saying what im saying because im an s7 edge user. There is quite a significant difference lol. Im just saying this for fairness sake, since this is a comparison.

[@djwellttonster]

Sony impacted with the best SMARTPHONES and scored after 2014 and never stopped again !!! Always making the best SMARTPHONES with the best technologies at the best cost!

[@dyonne79]

Sony has yet to come up with the premium or the pro. XZ2 should be compared with S9, S9+ with XZ2 Premium (or pro).

[@DEADLY_HUMAN]

dyonne79 yeah it will have overclocked version of 845

[@rory2044]

Wooww sony 👍👍👍👍

[@mjbowles2000]

Any speed difference's in speed is negligible and split second difference's make no difference in real world use. The Samsung S9 plus is the most complete smartphone ever released. It has an incredible display and the best in any smartphone (see display mate), stereo speakers that are as good if not better than the competition, still has a headphone jack with akg tuned headphones (that sound really good by the way), has one of the of the best cameras in a smartphone (subjective which is best), it has expandable storage, ip68 water resistance, performs as well as any top tier smartphone in day to day use. A split second difference in speed definitely shouldn't sway your buying decision one way or the other. All modern smartphones are fast and the edge the Sony XZ premium had in performance over the S8 isn't there anymore. The S9 has been refined to perfection this year.

[@westersvideos]

Samsung might be faster on opening apps but it is only faster by 0.5 seconds. This sd 845 is only 2400 in single core while 3800 on new exynos. This sd845 is such a beast. Also sd845 is better graphics for gaming than exynos, look it up on gsmarena if you don't believe me

I think that the sony did a great job on the camera it can match up with the doul camera with f1.5 on the galaxy😍

[@jcavrilcrisostomo7431]

Sony is better than coming in and it 's just papular becouse thay're already working on phones and thank you so much for reviewing sony☺😉😃

[@marcosludenmenesesobando2392]

sony all the way

[@Micaartapuntes]

Xperia xz2...4k native hdr recording and the impressive motion eye camera quality for night shots (and day) plus the 960 fps fullhd...and display showing everything in hdr ( converts sdr to hdr ) It's just a beast. S9 plus can't even be compared....

[@pablitoloko1535]

IPS xz2 10 bits hdr rec 2020 > crapmoled penline poor in subpixels and Brightness 8 bits and oversatured. the s9 screen makes you want to throw up

[@Diabepis]

whatever makes you happy lol. Shitty low res. LCD display with shit contrast and low brightness and worse color accuracy.

[@pablitoloko1535]

Sam Fisher leave the drugs xz2 have 640 nits s9 have 320 nits manual, ips have best colors best details, Put on glasses

[@mohammadmeu]

That crapmoled diaplay has been rated the best display in any smartphone currently...iphone X's screen being overthrown to second.

[@dilip_1997]

To all the ppl saying Sony is better ,it's just that ur paying respect to the brand ,upgraded to the s9+ from Sony Xperia z2 ,,,Sony really has to step up there game ,,in there camera ,design,display ,headphone jack, ram size,internal memory ,price
