Comparison review
The Xperia 1 II has an overall score of 91, which is just a bit better than Galaxy M30s's 83.3 score. Even when the Xperia 1 II and Galaxy M30s were only released with a couple months difference, the Xperia 1 II is a bit lighter and somewhat thinner. Both devices in this review work with the same Android 11 OS, so both of them should provide you very similar OS features.
Sony Xperia 1 II counts with a bit superior processing unit than Galaxy M30s, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Sony Xperia 1 II also has more RAM. Sony Xperia 1 II has a better looking screen than Galaxy M30s, because it has a little bigger display, a way better 1644 x 3840 resolution and way more pixels per inch in the display.
Xperia 1 II features a superior storage for games and applications than Samsung Galaxy M30s, because it has a slot for an SD memory card that holds a maximum of 1000 GB and 192 GB more internal storage. Samsung Galaxy M30s counts with a little bit better camera than Sony Xperia 1 II, because although it has a tinier back-facing camera sensor, a smaller diafragm aperture which is not so good for low-light photography and slower 30 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the Samsung Galaxy M30s also counts with a much higher resolution camera in the back.
The Samsung Galaxy M30s features a way better battery duration than Xperia 1 II, because it has a 6000mAh battery size instead of 4000mAh.
