Although Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon 800 At the beginning of 2013, it was not until the middle of the year that the processor was really ready to market. The Xperia Z Ultra kicked off and now most of the big brands are updating their catalogs with a device already equipped with this processor. Today we bring you a comparison between two phablets high performance that work with it. We review and analyze all its characteristics.
LG and Sony They are two of the Android manufacturers best positioned to get to bother the duo Apple-Samsung which clearly dominates the mobile device sector, both when it comes to tablets and smartphones. The Japanese company has attacked the market with a high-performance team, a screen something bigger than usual and a innovative design in some respects, while the Japanese firm offers a great camera and perhaps the toughest finish in its class.
Designer
Although the G2's screen itself is somewhat larger, the X is slightly more long and wider, which does not stop attracting attention. LG has managed to minimize the bezels of its flagship to the extreme which measures 13,8 cm x 7,1 cm x 8,9 mm by the 14,4 cm x 7,4 cm x 8,5 mm of the Z1. Still, as we see, the Sony smartphone a bit finest than his rival.
The materials used by Sony (aluminum, mainly) are perhaps of higher quality than plastic soft touch by LG. The finish, however, depends on the consumer's taste. The Z1 is much more rectangular while the shapes of the G2 are more rounded and smooth.
Screen
Both devices have a Full HD resolution screen, of 1920 × 1080 pixels, although the dpi density reached by the Xperia Z1 (440 points compared to 424) a little higher due to the smaller size of its panel (5 inches by 5,2 of the G2). LG mounts a screen IPS LCD while Sony uses its own technology, Triluminos, as in all its Bravia screens.
Unlimited
In this section the two devices are on par, since both run with a Snapdragon 800 2,2GHz Qualcomm also tied for RAM memory with 2GB and both come from the factory Android 4.2 version. We will have to see how Sony and LG behave when updating their devices because Android 4.3 offers a significant improvement in equipment performance.
Either way, the X is much more faithful to Android stock and it only offers its own software in some very specific functions such as the calculator, the calendar, multitasking and, above all, in the camera.
Autonomy
The burden of X It has improved a lot compared to that of the Xperia Z, which basically relied on Sony's own technologies to better manage consumption, such as stamina mode. The new flagship features those same technologies but its battery now supports a charge of 3.000 mAh.
El G2, for its part, it does not fall short either and offers a battery of the same capacity as its rival, 3.000 mAh to which we must also add its own functions such as Graphic RAM. In any case, it should be somewhat longer than that of the Z1, because it has the Triluminos and the Tech-reality system that generate a higher consumption.
Camera
This is one of the most curious sections to analyze since both the Xperia Z1 and the LG G2 have lenses of great power. Let's start with the device Sony, your camera sensor is a 20MP Exmor RS which has a virtually unmatched ability to capture images and colors. In addition, it has many shooting modes and extra functions. For its part, the G2 mounts one more camera in the middle of the devices in its range, with 13 MpxHowever, it integrates an optical stabilizer that offers better results in motion and especially in low light.
Either way, the Z1's camera is unrivaled today.
Conclusions
As is logical, it is practically impossible to opt for one of the two teams if we want to remain more or less impartial, however, we can conclude that one or the other will like more depending on our priorities. If we want the bigger screen possible in a device as small as possible, the LG G2 it is perhaps the best option. Perhaps the Koreans also offer a more affordable price. On the other hand the X promises us exceptional resistance to water, dust and shocks and, above all, the best camera that we can find today on an Android phone.
