Sony Xperia XZ3 vs Samsung Galaxy S9+ | Which OLED Display is Best?

[@KaizerFaith]

I actually prefer Sony TVs to Samsung TVs so I'm glad it's finally translating to their phones

[@tech_edit]

good point mate. Oh those Sony OLED tvs are amazing....

[@christophercressey3239]

@btekt can we get this Troll off please?

[@bebisibeb]

jack, honestly what the hell is wrong with you, you literally reply to every comment that doesn't follow your point of view. are you ill? it's pretty sad how you initiate arguments with people and try to be the bigger man by being overly sarcastic to try to outsmart others in your petty arguments. i thought maybe you had a point, but after seeing you appearing in literally 90 percent of the top comments with around 50+ words in each of them, it's hard for me to see you as a human being without mental illness. perhaps you gain satisfaction by insulting people who like sony for their personal reasons, but even if you're justified in doing so, it is highly unusual and you should get help soon.

[@christophercressey3239]

He is a paid for Astroturfer. What he has done is SPAM EVERY SINGLE sony XZ3 review on KZbin with the same comments, essentially trying to make a grassroots statement that the XZ3 is not good, thus misinforming customers. ASTROTURFING is highly illegal in the USA and in the UK, with a 50,000 USD fine for EACH post or a year in jail. The second way he is trying to do is turn this DECENT review into a debacle-thus making Btekt's review worthless, by swearing and insulting people. If someone swears and insults over something so trivial as mobile phone then one thinks, is this person a child, or a deranged adult? Why would someone resort to such language to try and get a point across? If one speaks like this then automatically anything they say has lost any traction now and forever. I hope Btekt do something about this guy before he turns all reviews (apart from Jack's favourite brand ) into a debacle. and no one can take Btekt seriously anymore-due to the squabbles and in-fighting :( To be honest if this carries on much longer then I am unsubscribing.

The chin houses a fingerprint reader which doubles as a navigation button, a quick press to go back, a long press to go home, left or right to go to recent apps & up to launch Google. It's a brilliant idea and so simple to use that I wish my other phones & tablet could do the same. Chins are disappearing on new phones and notches (or teardrops) are getting smaller but for now you'll need to put up with a chin, a "forehead" or a notch.

I've yet to see the XZ3 display, but very eager to. Sadly here in Australia there are no local stores who stock the XZ3, so the only way to get it is via online shops (no way to see the display before buying). The Note 9 display is really nice though. My only concern with the Note 9 is lag - the display units I've seen in shops all seem to have some animation lag when scrolling through home screens and menus, which I find very surprising on such a powerful modern flagship. I've not experienced any lag on a Sony phone since the original Xperia Z many years back. Even the Z2 after a few updates ran completely lag free. I have seen some videos where people have changed menu animation settings on the Note to and that seems to remove the percieved menu lag, so I'm going to buy the Note 9 and try with that setting adjusted and see how it goes. If I find myself getting performance issues over time with the Samsung (as I have with my LG v30 at times) then I'm just going to have to go back to Sony again - as my last 3 or 4 Sony phones all performed flawlessly.

[@arcoirisaycaramba2857]

Things to keep in mind: The display of the XZ3 is said to be provided by LG. www.oled-info.com/sony-xperia-xz3 so for those who are digging this because they liked Sony LED TVs... well... yeah. Samsung's basic mode is said to be a mode where the screen is toned down to fit sRGB. Which turns out to be what Sony's pro mode does. That's why its basic settings are on adaptive mode. This makes nothing matter either Samsung wins because the colours look balanced or the Sony wins because they look more vivid. Note: XZ3 having LG displays is not an official announcement but a claim made by the website and some other outside sources.

[@taskmaster5437]

Not only that but a good review would look at all the modes and see which one is the closest to color accurate. What reviewers actually should be looking for are more noticeable things than color such as posterization and the choice between keeping fine detail or choosing to make the image brighter.

[@tech_edit]

Haha. Cheers, excellent choice. You'll love your new XZ3!

[@AMBEE-sp2ev]

Can you please do a comparison with the LG V40? ThanQ.

[@tech_edit]

That's something I absolutely want to do - trying to get the V40 now- I'm hoping it'll be here very soon..

[@elhuron13]

Hello! I am having this device and i was wondering how did you get the step and calories on screen?

[@BlackStoneMoviesMinecraft]

Hopefully they will someday in the future be able to fix OLED flicker, because as of yet, any OLED screen flickers way too hard to be viewed comfortably.

[@bavariuae]

i won't lie am a big sony fan. i always buy their latest flagship device. the xz3 display looks gorgeous. mainly the customer will be an average user and will never notice the difference between the two devices. I don't like samsung phones cuz of heavy skin over android but I always recommend it cuz it checks the main points of flagship device. another great review thank u sir 👌👌👍

[@tech_edit]

Thanks for commenting Saeed, and the kind words - cheers pal

[@sondesix_]

I've used the XZ2 for 5 months now and just when I'm enjoying this phone, Sony launched a new, much better one. I'm pissed but it's good for them to finally use a great OLED panel that everyone will actually love (although I prefer a more natural approach my XZ2 has).

[@Ramirocruz48]

Samsung's display sucks in basic mode, try the Adaptive Display with WQHD+ turned on and then we'll see who's better.

[@tech_edit]

I'll do that in a future video I have planned. Will be shooting over the weekend. Thanks for the comment

[@christophercressey3239]

Btw im sure you have been asked befire , what dedicated camera are you using to film videos please? Can we have a review on it?

[@AlexisDelatolas]

Thanks for the comparison! As a new XZ3 owner I really appreciate it ;) But I should point out that the Sony in standard mode boosts the colours, you should choose the "professional" sRGB mode for the first comparison. That makes the Sony colours more accurate but less vibrant.

[@izadine]

When I read the specs I understood that Xperia SZ3 does not have 4K (but the OLED-screen). It´s the SZ2 which has got 4K or have I missed something?

[@hussainiana]

Woow sony is the best and thats great

[@sjn_]

I like the fact how Sony still got criticized for their "bezels" and Samsung didn't. While the bezels on these two devices don't really have big difference. Sony's a little bigger but people still bitch about? Where has the smartphones era come to...

[@tech_edit]

Yeah, it's funny how obsessed some folks get with bezels. For me, these are perfectly acceptable on the XZ3 - and when you hear the speakers- they make even more sense. No issues at all. Better than a notch in my opinion..

[@christophercressey3239]

David mate, do you have an idea on how to turn off the always' on display please? Also it seems that its hard to find games that work with the dynamic vibration system. If anyone finds a game that words with the DVS can you post it here?

[@evinakash]

Thanks Sony for bring us such a technology

[@YgorCortes]

Thou should've put the XZ3 display to the Professional mode, since the Basic mode on Samsung phones stand for sRGB (accuracy) as well as the Xperia's Professional mode.

[@RennieAsh]

I think tests similar to TV reviews would be needed here to check colour gamut and other features :)

[@MisterRhul]

I think the most accurate mode in xz3 is professional, not standard. Isn't a kind of processing the standard? Basic is just SRGB on Samsung side.

[@waelt2500]

Thank's for this video i have been waiting it also i prefer the xz3 😍😍😍 this phone is awesome!

[@benjaminsorber4789]

I have the xz3 and I've found out that the OLED used in the xz3 is made by LG P-OLED technology, however it is calibrated by Sony

[@the.aravind.sankar]

First oled phone from sony with a non Samsung screen comparably of equal quality to the king of displays since 3years. That deserves credit.

[@hoosh.l.b.y4944]

Sony best ❤❤❤

[@pishia1104]

Why is anyone even surprised by the performance of the XZ3? Sony has been a pioneer in screen technology for a long time now. They are one of the few companies who can compete with Samsung in this area on equal terms.

[@iScopeZ43]

Quite Misleading the video part of this video. Even 4k 60fps is optically stabilized, but above 1080p 30fps you cannot use the EIS, or the electronic part of it. Try it out both options from a fix distance, and you will see that if you turn on the stabilization on the s9+, the video will be more cropped in.

[@hasandagher2443]

Sony ❤❤❤ i have an s9+ btw but xz3 screen is just awesome and camera wise i think no one can compete with sony when it comes to video recording

[@makanissue]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Samsung did offer OLED at scale which gave their phones an edge but had usability issues with the over-sensitive curved edge. Some people have bias toward/against Japanese brands. Some people recognize and appreciate the subtleties and quality of Sony products in ways others don't. It also depends on what kind of ecosystem your home entertainment is. Some have Apple TVs, Ipads, and Iphones, and some have Sony TVs and Playstation 4s which the Xperia phones can interface with. In general Samsung undercuts competitors with lower prices or they are bundled or come free with contract which is why you see more people have them, . They've also developed an ecosystem of connected devices such as washers/dryers/fridges. Sony phones rarely come free with contract anymore and are perhaps aimed more at consumers who are selective with their high-end purchases.

The XZ3 wiped the floor with the S9. Not sure if we're looking at the same videos but that EIS on the Sony is miles ahead of the S9.

[@i_podh]

I will definitely buy the XZ3.

[@christophercressey3239]

Another I actually have my SOny xz3 in black and I am very very happy with it. Couple of things i Have noticed though. If you enable AUTO rotation then trying to use the motion launch thingy where you pick up the phone in landscape to take a photo, does not work. BTW i have got side sense to work perfectly -except i have now a gell case on the back and it does not works as good as it did. BTW does anyone know how to turn off the always on display please>?

I would like to recommend though that you should try playing back a movie with foliage, sky etc. Or a movie on both the phones side by side in native players and then make a comparison.

[@ryancollins312]

Sorry when you say shoot HDR what do you mean by that. Do you mean you can record in HDR if so what does that have to do with the display isnt that to do with the camera.

Sony is back in the game! I still prefer Samsung over Sony because of the thinner bezels but damn does the XZ3 look gorgeous. Glad Sony isnt following the ugly notch trend. Looking forward to the XZ3 premium or whatever the next flagship from Sony will be called
