Sony Xperia Z2 vs. Samsung Galaxy S5 - Video Comparison

Sony released the Sony Xperia Z2 as the successor to the Sony Xperia Z1 and is promises to be one of the top smartphones of this year. However it has some huge competition in the market, especially from devices like the Samsung Galaxy S5. When you compare them side by side, Sony's flagship has the slightly more remarkable body and the slightly bigger screen, battery, and pixel count on its camera. But let's find out if this makes the Xperia Z2 the better device.

At the end of the day, you will get a true flagship experience, without any compromise whether you choose the Xperia Z2 or the Galaxy S5. The Sony Xperia Z2 is arguably the more attractive device of the two, with a premium, glass-and-metal build, yet the Samsung Galaxy S5 is lighter, slightly thinner, and just more compact overall. The 5.2-inch IPS display on the Z2 does render a more life-like image, but we are sure that the S5's AMOLED panel will likely entice many with its punchier, more lively colors.

Sony offers a total of 3GB of RAM on the device, while the Snapdragon 801 processor that is found on both handsets, is clocked slightly faster on the Galaxy S5. Unfortunately Samsung has more work to do optimizing its TouchWiz user interface, allowing Sony's device to feel more fluid between the two. Its important to note that HTC's Sense performed even better than Sony's UI when the Xperia Z2 was compared with the One M8.

As for imaging, we generally find the 16-megapixel snapper on the S5 to be superior to the 20.7-megapixel unit on the Z2. It is the slightly more reliable shooter of the two, and it does churn out the slightly more attractive stills overall. On the whole, however, the difference is really, really small.

In all, picking either of the two really boils down to what you're looking for in a device, and you'll need to do some serious soul-searching before you're able to diffuse the stalemate between the Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5.
