Samsung galaxy s6 vs sony xperia z3, which one to buy

Performance: Galaxy S6

Interestingly, the Sony Xperia Z3 has hardware that, for a phone released in 2014, does not leave much to be desired in relation to the Galaxy S6, new in 2015. In a direct comparison, the S6 gets the best part for some details, but performance actually ends up not being that different.

Both, for example, have the same RAM: 3 GB. The advantage of the S6 is that it uses a more modern standard, DDR4. In the processor, the S6 has an internal octa-core Exynos, with a 1.5 GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 and a Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57. While the Z3 has Snapdragon 801 at 2.5 GHz quad core.

In connectivity, they both have NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi and 4 g. The S6 has a digital reader and payment system as differentiators, while the Z3 allows you to play PlayStation 4 and is resistant to dust and water. On the battery, better for the Sony device, with 3, 100 mAh while the S6 has 2, 550 mAh.

Design and dimensions: Galaxy S6

The new version of the Samsung Galaxy S has drawn attention for good taste in its visual work, and for that reason it has the best in relation to the Z3. It has finished with the metal body, giving an award to the gadget, which will also be available in various colors and has great grip for the user.

In addition, it measures 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 millimeters and weighs 138 grams. Much more compact than the Z3, with 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm and 152 grams. The Sony model is not bad but it is ugly for many. Conversely. It also has an interesting visual. However, the S6 is more different.

Screen: Galaxy S6

The display of the Xperia Z3 is currently one of the best markets. It has Full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels with 5.2-inch Triluminos technology and an X-Reality Engine. It is almost, except for the proportions, a Sony mini-TV in the palm of your hand. And, still, it's not superior to the S6.

After all, the new Samsung has a large Super AMOLED screen with 5.1-inch qHD resolution, that is, with 2560 x 1440 pixels. Which gives a density of 577 ppi, against 424 (which is excellent) of the Z3. In addition, it has Corning Gorilla Glass 4, which increases its resistance against falls and scratches.

Chambers: technical draw

Samsung and Sony have invested in cameras for their devices, and there is almost a tie between them. So, “technical Draw”. In the resolutions, they differ and Z3 is the favorite in the primaries, it has 20.7 megapixels, against 16 megapixels of S6. However, in features and capabilities, the S6 has more interesting features, which also has a better 5-megapixel front bed compared to 2.2.

Operating system: Galaxy S6

They both have Android, but the Galaxy S6 has the Android version 5.0.2 Lollipop already pre-installed. The Z3 plans to upgrade to 5.0 from Android KitKat 4.4.4. However, there is no update yet. They have similar characteristics, but the improvements made in TouchWiz and the latest version of the system give the S6 an advantage.

Price and availability: Z3

The Galaxy S6 will arrive in April, and has yet to set a price. The trend is that it costs around € 699 if you keep the value of large phones. The Z3 is already in most stores, and as a 2014 model, it had some price cuts costing around € 520.

Conclusion: Galaxy S6

Taking the facts it still needs around 40 days to be released and probably the high price that comes to Spain, the Galaxy S6 is superior to the Xperia Z3 in all respects. Which is not a surprise, because it has characteristics of a generation ahead of the Sony device.
