Comparison review
The Galaxy M40 has a general score of 85, which is slightly better than Sony Xperia 1's 82.6 score. Even when Galaxy M40 and Sony Xperia 1 were released only a couple of months apart, Galaxy M40 is a little thinner and a little bit lighter. Xperia 1 features just a bit better performance than Samsung Galaxy M40. They have the same RAM memory amount and a Octa-Core processor.
The Xperia 1 features a better looking screen than Galaxy M40, because it has a bit larger screen, a lot more pixels per inch of screen and a lot better 1644 x 3840 resolution. Galaxy M40 shoots much clearer pictures and videos than Xperia 1, because although it has a tinier sensor taking less light and dull colors and a smaller aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the Galaxy M40 also counts with faster 30 frames per second video frame rate and a camera in the back with a much higher 32 megapixels resolution.
