Yesterday we met not one if we two fantastic phablets, the Xperia Z5 Premium and Huawei Mate S, and we confront them immediately with the one who, at least until the arrival of the 6s iPhone Plus, is the benchmark phablet in the high-end range: the Galaxy S6 edge +. It is imperative, in any case, to go on to measure them now against each other. Who made us yesterday, together, the most interesting proposal? Do youSony, with your phablet with 4K display: Huawei, with its always surprising quality / price ratio? We will try to help you assess with a comparative in which we review their Technical specifications.
Integrated
As in any high-end phablet, the design section is always interesting and, furthermore, a particularly attractive point for users, and neither of these two phablets disappoints: in the case of the Xperia Z5 Premium we find a glass casing, but with a metallic finish, and in that of the Mate S with a metallic unibody body. Both also have a fingerprint reader, and although only the phablet of Sony is resistant to water and dust, the Huawei It has a nanometric coating that repels water.
Dimensions
In this section it is impossible not to highlight the great work done by Huawei, which has managed to optimize the screen / size ratio to the maximum in such a way that the Mate S is finally more compact even than the Xperia Z5 Premium (15,44x7,58 inch against 14,98x7,53 inch). It is also a bit finer (7,8 mm against 7,2 mm) and considerably lighter (180 grams against 156 grams).
Screen
It is now the turn of the Xperia Z5 Premium with its 4K display, something that stands out particularly against the Mate S, which maintains Full HD resolution (3840 x 2160 against 1920 x 1080). With these figures, it comes as no surprise that the result is that your pixel density is more than double that of another (PPI 806 against PPI 401). The display of the phablet HuaweiHowever, it also has a very special feature that cannot be omitted from mentioning, and that is none other than technology. touchforce (Which, in fact, is expected to be one of the main novelties of the iPhone 6s).
Performance
They are more balanced in the performance section, since both mount processors of similar technical specifications (Snapdragon 810 eight core to 2,0 GHz against Kirin 935 eight core to 2,2 GHz) and have the same amount of RAM (3 GB). Of course, the two also arrive with Android Lollipop (Android 5.1.1) pre-installed.
Storage capacity
Some advantage in the section of storage capacity for the Mate S, not for those looking for the most affordable model, which will be 32 GB internal memory expandable via micro-SD in both cases, if not for those who want to ensure the largest possible hard disk space, since the phablet of Huawei yes it will be available in a version of 64 GB, something not yet confirmed for the de Sony.
Cameras
This is always one of the strengths of the Xperia Z range and the Xperia Z5 Premium, of course, it was not going to be any exception, although it is true that the Mate S defends itself quite well: the phablet of Sony clearly wins as far as the main chamber is concerned (23 MP against 13 MP), and Huawei wins in terms of front camera (5 MP against 8 MP).
Autonomy
As we always remember, the fundamental data will be what the autonomy tests leave us with respect to how many hours of actual use we can wait before needing to recharge them but for now the only thing we can do is compare the battery capacity of both. that gives victory to Xperia Z5 Premium (3430 mAh against 2700 mAh). It must be borne in mind, however, that the resolution of the Sony phablet is also much higher, which usually implies a much higher consumption, although Sony affirms that this is not an obstacle for it to have an autonomy of 2 full days and the truth is that its devices have always stood out in this section.
Price
It is not very frequent but, despite the fact that the two have just been presented, this time we can finish the comparison by contrasting the prices of each of these two phablets and this, as we already anticipated at the beginning, is the strong point of Huawei. As expected, the Mate S will be much more affordable than the Xperia Z5 Premium: the first will be sold from $649 while the second will cost us $799.
