Now that it has finally reached the stores (the wait has been quite long) we have finally had the opportunity to start seeing detailed video comparisons between the Xperia Z5 Premium and its main rivals which, as you already know, by price and technical specifications, are fundamentally the 6s iPhone Plus and Galaxy S6 Edge + / Galaxy Note 5. Yesterday we were able to leave you the first, with the phablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and today it is the turn of Samsung, specifically to the model with S Pen. We leave you with the images.
The best of Samsung versus the best of Sony
You already know that, except for the edge screen and the S Pen, the two phablets of the Koreans are identical, so practically everything we see in this video can be applied to the Galaxy S6 edge +, which is the one that is currently sold in Spain, although it is not bad to remember that everything at the end of the day is Galaxy Note 5 It can also be obtained in our country and that we may not even have to wait too long, since it could arrive early next year.
Although in the video You also have the opportunity to take a look at the interface of each one and assess its fluency, in addition to checking the results obtained in the benchmarks performance, with the Xperia Z5 Premium In the middle of the sections that, logically, we will be most interested in the image quality and camera. Regarding the first, you already know that the 4K resolution of the Xperia Z5 Premium it only applies to the playback of multimedia content, but it is still something that no other smartphone can boast. The Galaxy Note 5, for its part, it has what has been considered by DisplayMate the best screen till the date. We are, therefore, with a duel in style.
Regarding the quality of your cameras, here the experts (DxO, more specifically) They have opted for the Xperia Z5 (the same that we find in this premium version), but the one of the Galaxy Note 5 it has also obtained excellent evaluations and does not rank very far, in fact. The good thing about this video comparison, in any case, is that it will allow you to judge for yourself: from minute 5, approximately, you can take a look at a photo show made with both.
And if you need to review the characteristics of either of the two, we remind you that you have all the details in our comparison of technical specifications.
I have a Note 3 root with Kingdroid 4.4.2, and it goes like a shot, I discard the Note 5, mainly because it does not have a micro sd slot; neither radio, nor removable battery. If I had to opt for one of the 2, I would do it for Z5P.
Pros: Radio, micro sd slot, water and dust resistance.
Cons: SD810.
Doubts:
- Camera, image processing.
- Battery, will it be in the line of its predecessor Z3?
- Is it more shock resistant than Note 5?
If the Z5P does not convince me, I think that by default, the best option would be the Note 4, although I would like to experiment with Sony.
