Comparison review
The Xperia PRO is better than Galaxy S9, having a 94.3 score against 83.3. The Xperia PRO design is newer than Galaxy S9's, but it's thicker and a lot heavier. The Xperia PRO has a slightly better looking display than Galaxy S9, because it has a just a bit greater pixel number in each inch in the display, a quite larger screen and a higher 1644 x 3840 resolution.
Xperia PRO counts with a way bigger memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S9, because it has a SD extension slot that allows a maximum of 1 TB and 512 GB internal memory. Xperia PRO counts with a little faster CPU than Galaxy S9, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Xperia PRO also has a larger amount of RAM memory.
The Sony Xperia PRO features better battery life than Galaxy S9, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity instead of 3000mAh. Xperia PRO has a little bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy S9, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not good for shooting images or video in low light environments, and they both have a same resolution camera in the back, the same 60 fps video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the Xperia PRO also counts with a much larger sensor which gives a way better image and video quality.
Although Xperia PRO is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy S9, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy S9. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can buy Samsung Galaxy S9, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
