Waiting for the Sony Honami, the Xperia Z It is the flagship of the Japanese firm in the range of devices to which the HTC One or the Galaxy S4 also belong. This group has recently been joined by the LG G2, being probably (at least in terms of specifications) the best terminal Android to date. We show you a video comparison of the two teams, focused mainly on the design of both.
In matters of design, Sony is a great power in the mobile device sector. Despite its classic rectangular appearance of the signature terminals, the Xperia Z introduced some features that attracted a lot of attention at the time. Built with fiberglass, and with all its grooves well sealed, it was the first terminal of its kind that offered resistance to water and dust. In addition, it is one of the smartphones finer released to date.
Size and finishes
As can be seen quickly in the video, the LG G2 It is much larger, and although its materials are not of such high quality and it does not offer such extreme resistance to the inclemencies of the environment, its profiles and its Rounded edges They are much more ergonomic, making it more comfortable to hold.
Physical buttons
Another point that can be analyzed is the location of the physical controls on each device. On the front, neither the Xperia Z nor the LG G2 have buttons. However, the Sony terminal does have the typical side controls, although unlike other manufacturers, it does not place the power button in the upper part of the right profile, but mid-height. In the LG there is no danger that we accidentally touch a button, since all of them are in the rear. Just yesterday we told you what was the korean firm looking for with this novel location.
Screen and frames
With regards to screen, there are significant differences not only in size, but also in qualities. As discussed in the video, the IPS of the LG G2 is brighter and offers better viewing angles. On the front panel, the frames have a greater role in the Xperia Z than in the LG G2, where a visualization is offered edge to edge, practically.
