Comparison review
Galaxy S9 has an overall score of 83.3, which is a little bit better than the Xperia XZ2's 79.1 general score. Even when the Galaxy S9 and the Xperia XZ2 were only released 1 months apart, the Galaxy S9 is somewhat lighter and incredibly thinner. Galaxy S9's processor is very similar to the Sony Xperia XZ2 one, they have 8 cores and 4 GB of RAM.
Galaxy S9 has just a bit better looking screen than Xperia XZ2, because it has a higher pixel quantity per inch of display, a bit bigger display and a higher 1440 x 2960 pixels resolution. The Galaxy S9's storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos is just as good as Sony Xperia XZ2's one, both have a slot for an SD memory card that supports a maximum of 400 GB and the same internal memory.
The Sony Xperia XZ2 has just a little bit longer battery performance than Samsung Galaxy S9, because it has a 6 percent greater battery size. Xperia XZ2 counts with a bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy S9, because although it has a lot smaller camera aperture which is not so good for capturing images or video in low-light environments, and they both have the same 60 frames per second video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Xperia XZ2 also counts with a back-facing camera with way more mega pixels and a larger back-facing camera sensor shooting higher quality videos and photos.
