Business Standard News : Sony Mobile on February 26 announced the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The next-generation Xperia-series is built around a new concept design with incremental updates overall to fit in the league of premium smartphone range of 2018.

The Xperia range has always been in focus for its multimedia and imaging capabilities, and the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact get major updates on this front. Both the smartphones get advanced camera, display and audio technology, along with a new design for modern outlook.

The Xperia XZ2 Compact sports a 5-inch fullHD+ screen compared with the 5.7-inch fullHD+ one in the Xperia XZ2. However, both smartphones boast a modern 18:9 aspect ratio that reduces the bezels overall.

Apart from the new aspect ratio screen, the screen in next-generation flagship models also gets HDR support, coupled with Sony’s BRAVIA and X-reality technology.

Galaxy S9 vs iPhone X: From price to design, how they compare

Samsung is also increasing the price of its flagship, bumping the S9 up $100, to $950 in the case of the Plus model.

When Microsoft revealed a replacement to Windows 8, it skipped the number 9 and went straight to Windows 10. Apple’s iPhone 8 was followed by the iPhone X (pronounced “ten”). But Samsung refused to follow: The successor to its Galaxy S8 is the Galaxy S9 (and a larger S9 Plus), and it’s coming out in March.

The phone is critical for the company. Samsung needs to show it has the hardware and software chops to maintain its leadership in the Android market, while proving Apple isn’t king of smartphone design. Then there’s fending off rising Chinese competition from Huawei and reassuring investors that Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee has the company’s future under control since his legal woes commanded global headlines.

But above all, Samsung needs to be better than the iPhone X in the eyes of consumers. Here’s how they compare.

Great pictures are essential for any top-end phone. Samsung has equipped the S9 Plus with two cameras: a wide-angle, and a telephoto (like the iPhone X) and both capture at a resolution of 12 megapixels (also like the iPhone X). Samsung even mounts the two lenses of the S9 Plus vertically — something Apple also does with its flagship.

But the big difference may come with low-light performance. When you take a picture with the S9, you actually capture 12 images simultaneously. The phone then compares all exposures to create a single shot that includes all the detail you want, but with as little grain and noise as possible. It’s similar to how the iPhone X processes high-dynamic range photos, taking three images at different levels of light exposure to combine them to produce a richer, more balanced image.

Samsung’s decision to expand this technology in the S9 compliments the physical camera lens, which has a wider aperture to let in more light — an f1.5 aperture compared to Apple’s f1.8. In the camera world, that small change can make a big difference.
