In our duel today it is the turn of the new Huawei P9 Plus to face the Xperia Z5 Premium, the phablet with the best camera of last year, according to the experts. We will still have to wait for the more detailed analyzes of the new phablet of Huawei to check whether or not it can exceed that of Sony in this section, but for now, we can already measure the Technical specifications of both in one comparative With which to be able to decide which of the two is the one we like the most and which can be adjusted more to our needs.
Integrated
There is no room for us to find two elegant devices with the best finishes, although each of them has opted for a different material: in the Huawei P9 Plus we have a metal casing, while in the Xperia Z5 Premium the protagonist is the glass of its back cover. In both cases we also have, of course, a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
Although the differences are by no means too great, the Huawei P9 Plus it has some advantage in all the points to consider here: it is a little smaller (15,23x7,53 inch against 15,44x7,58 inch), a little finer (7 mm against 7,8 mm) and also a little lighter (162 grams against 180 grams).
Screen
Although they are not very large, the differences in dimensions are more significant due to the fact that the screens of the two phablets are the same size (5.5 inches). In resolution, however, the victory goes to the Xperia Z5 Premium, since it can reproduce in 4K quality (1920 x 1080 against 2560 x 1440), although it must be taken into account that it will only do so with multimedia content recorded in that resolution. Logically, this difference is also reflected in the pixel density of each one (PPI 401 against PPI 806).
Performance
El Huawei P9 Plus takes the lead again in the performance section, thanks to the fact that it mounts a state-of-the-art processor (Kirin 955 eight-core and 2,5 GHz maximum frequency vs. Snapdragon 810 eight-core and 2,0 GHz maximum frequency) since it has more RAM memory (4 GB against 3 GB). Also keep in mind that it will arrive already with Android Marshmallow.
Storage capacity
Another point in favor of the phablet of Huawei , and not because of Sony falter either, it is the storage capacity, since it puts at our disposal 64 GB internal memory expandable through micro-SD, option that we also have with the Xperia Z5 Premium, but as a complement of half memory (32 GB).
Cameras
The victory in terms of number of megapixels is undeniable for the Xperia Z5 Premium, at least as far as the main camera is concerned (12 MP against 23 MP), because on the front the balance would tip to the side of the Huawei P9 Plus (8 MP against 5 MP). The great claim of the phablet camera of HuaweiIn any case, it is the use of Leica optics and having two sensors (theoretically it captures as much light as if its pixels were 1,7 micrometers). It also has a slightly larger aperture (f / 2.0 versus f / 2.2).
Autonomy
You already know that at the moment the only thing we can do is compare the battery capacity of both models, and it is difficult to draw conclusions since the figures are very similar (3400 mAh against 3400 mAh). Much will depend, therefore, on the consumption of each one, but you already know that it can only be effectively measured in real use tests.
Price
The official starting price of the Huawei P9 Plus is lower than that of Xperia Z5 Premium ($750 against $800), but we must bear in mind, of course, that since the phablet of Sony It can be found in some distributors already with some discounts (for less than 700 euros in certain cases).
Better the Huawei P 9 Plus. It goes like a rocket. Its design is fantastic. I recommend it .José Luis
