Comparison review

The Galaxy Note9 and the Xperia PRO feature similar processing units, and although the Xperia PRO has a larger amount of RAM, they both have a Octa-Core processing unit.

The Xperia PRO captures just a bit better videos and photos than Galaxy Note9, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not so good for low light captures and video, and they both have a same resolution camera in the back, the same (4K) video definition and the same 60 fps video frame rates, the Xperia PRO also counts with a much bigger back-facing camera sensor which gives a lot higher photo and video quality.

The Sony Xperia PRO's battery lifetime is very similar to the battery lifetime in Samsung Galaxy Note9.
