Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has a score of 83.3, which is a lot better than Sony Xperia Z3X's general score of 64. The Sony Xperia Z3X counts with a slightly better looking display than Galaxy S9, because although it has a quite worse pixel quantity in each screen inch and a little worse 2560 x 1600 resolution, it also counts with a little bit bigger display.
Xperia Z3X counts with just a little better hardware performance than Galaxy S9, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit and 4 GB of RAM, the Xperia Z3X also has a 64-bit processing unit and an extra GPU. Galaxy S9 counts with a way bigger memory to install games and applications than Sony Xperia Z3X, because it has a slot for external memory cards that holds a maximum of 400 GB.
The Galaxy S9 takes greater photographs and videos than Xperia Z3X, although it has a much less mega-pixels resolution camera in the back, a tinier camera aperture and a tinier back-facing camera sensor which gives a worse image and video quality. Galaxy S9 has a really longer battery lifetime than Sony Xperia Z3X.
The Galaxy S9 is a bit more expensive than Xperia Z3X, but you can get a much better phone for that extra dollars.
