Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs Sony Xperia Z

It is now time to compare the two latest flagships by Samsung and Sony – namely the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Sony Xperia Z. Both these devices created a great revamp in the smartphone market due to its specifications; as a matter of fact, the main reason why the Galaxy S4 created a great overhaul is due to its predecessors because the Galaxy S3, S2 and S always have been successful and due to their success, the tech enthusiasts expected too much from Samsung for their upcoming Galaxy S(4) smartphone this year. Well now, you might be wondering that why did the Xperia Z get so much fame just after its release, well that is probably due to clever marketing and its specs, and yes, the most important reason why it got too famous is the fact that it is water and dust proof.

Enough with breaking the ice now, let us come to the main point and decide that which smartphone is better, the Galaxy S4 or Xperia Z.

Design and Dimensions

You must have noticed by looking at the picture of Samsung Galaxy S4 that it looks almost the same as the Galaxy S3 but has a larger screen of precisely 5 inches and it 1 mm slimmer. The resolution of Samsung Galaxy S4 is purely HD (1920×1080) and has 441 pixels per inch (ppi). On the contrary, the Sony Xperia Z also has a 5 inch screen with HD resolution and 441 ppi. When we take into consideration the design of both these smartphones, then Xperia Z is probably the one ahead due to its waterproof and dustproof design which also comes with the package of being beautiful. So, to be more precise, the Galaxy S4 only loses over here because it is not waterproof and dust proof.

Processor

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is on the upper hand when it comes to its processor because it will boast two types of Processors which will be depending on the version of Galaxy S4. One of the versions of Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a Octa-Core 1.6 GHz processor and the other version of Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a quad core 1.9 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM; and as the Xperia Z has a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM, therefore it is weighed down by both the possible processors of Galaxy S4.

Camera

Now here comes the good part for the Xperia Z fans, they would surely get a sigh of relief now. Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 13 MP rear-facing and 2 MP front facing camera and both of them have the capability to record HD videos. Same is the case with the Xperia Z but is still slightly ahead of Galaxy S4 because its rear-facing camera is of 13.1 MP and the front facing is of 2.2 MP. Therefore the Xperia Z wins from in the battle against Galaxy S4’s camera.

Battery

There are always some minor specifications as well which must be kept under notice when comparing two different smartphones. When we consider our today’s focused smartphones, in that case, there is one major minor spec which must be considered. And that is the battery pack of the Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z which must be compared. So let me get to the point now. Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 2600 mAh battery pack and Xperia Z has a 2330 mAh battery pack which again makes the Galaxy S4 to leave behind the Xperia Z

Winner

Now here comes the main part; the final verdict of this massive comparison between the Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z. Well, when you look at the comparison in relevance to individual specs, then the Galaxy S4 is clearly the winner. But when you take this comparison more critically, in that case, it is whether a draw or Xperia Z is the winner due to its Waterproof and Dustproof capability because it’s quite obvious that no one would want to ruin his expensive smartphone due to water.
