Comparison review

The Galaxy XCover Pro features a bit better hardware performance than Sony Xperia XZ, because it has a higher number of cores (and also faster) and 1 GB more RAM.
The Galaxy XCover Pro and Xperia XZ both count with very similar screens, because although the Galaxy XCover Pro has a quite inferior count of pixels per display inch, it also counts with a bigger display and a little bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2340px. The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro has a lot bigger memory for apps and games than Xperia XZ, because it has 64 GB internal storage capacity and a SD card slot that holds up to 512 GB.
Sony Xperia XZ takes slightly better videos and photos than Galaxy XCover Pro, because although it has a camera in the back with less mega-pixels resolution and a tinier diafragm aperture which is worse for shooting photos and video in low-light environments, it also counts with a much larger back-facing camera sensor providing a way better image quality and a lot better (4K) video resolution.
Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro features a much better battery performance than Xperia XZ, because it has 4050mAh of battery capacity.
Galaxy XCover Pro costs a lot more than the Xperia XZ, but you can get a better phone for that few extra dollars.
