There is no doubt that the Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 they will be two of the terminals Android most successful of the year. Both are backed by excellent performance and absolutely cutting-edge hardware, also representing the top range of two technological giants such as Sony and Samsung. Today we present a video comparison of these two teams to be able to visualize the strengths and weaknesses of each one of them face to face.
The tester of Android Authority presents the rivalry of Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z as a confrontation between continuity and disruptive lines when it comes to design. Terminal Samsung strongly recalls its previous generations, while that of Sony it is full of new concepts.
At first glance, one of the elements that most highlights the differences between the two devices is the possibility, on the one hand, of separating the back cover and removing the battery in the case of the Galaxy, and on the other, the tabs of all kinds that are in the profile of the Xperia to hide the ports into which the different cards are inserted. Its back and front are fully sealed and this quality is what contributes to the device of Sony its extreme resistance to water and dust.
For the rest, as we say, He S4 retains much of Samsung's previous patterns, with its curved edges and a very similar look to the S III or Note II, despite having reduced its side frames. Of course, it is a lighter and more manageable team than the Xperia Z which has much more pronounced corners, although it is significantly less thick than its rival.
In terms of performance, the terminal Samsung is more up-to-date as it uses one of Qualcomm's latest generation chips, the Snapdragon 600, Whereas the Xperia Z mounts a Snapdragon S4 Pro above, in one of the best optimizations that can be found of the processor. Of course, the customization layer of the S4 it is quite a bit heavier than its competitor, and that can also affect the response of the devices. The team of Sony, in this case, it runs a version quite faithful to the Original android although with some other detail of careful and interesting software.
Regarding autonomy, the Galaxy S4 returns, once again, to present better data. Its charging capacity is higher (2.600 mAh by 2330 mAh of the Xperia Z). Although both have different configuration options to set the consumption to our measure, the terminal of Samsung It has the advantage of the removable battery, which at any given time, if the day is extended, we can change for another already charged.
