        Dr. Chillo, 02 Jun 2019Every single FHD Samsung panel is better than Xperia Panels... moreHaha, this must be the joke of the year! So funny! It's just coz, you love living in a world which is not natural. Sony produces true to life colours amd Samsung on other hand produces more vivid, unrealistic colours. They are more vivid. Their green on grass looks like a neon strips. Actually this is why Sony didn't shift to OLED that soon. But the era pushed them to perfect on this technology. You know, Sony is a big name in video-graphy, Photography and movie makings. From Alpha to camcorders they really know how a real scene or photo would look like and How a real grass would look like! I agree, Samsung has won in faking the people by their more warm and unnatural display.

            X Performance had 95 of AF.
            Pixel had 93 and S7 had 91.

            Sony should never have dropped Hybrid AF to use Dual Pixel. The Dual Pixel AF cant be improved, it has reached its apex already. Canon mirrorless Full Frame cameras have crappy AF.

            Hybrid AF can be vastly improved by AI, exactly what Sony has been doing with A6400 and A9.

                    First phase detection autofocus.
                    And their displays are measured to be more accurate and overall slightly ahead compared to Sony's.

                    Just a few of their firsts. Now comes the denial and twisting from yourself and many other pretend Sony fans here.

                        2016 - first predictive hybrid af with 0.03secs (Xperia X)
                        2016 - first ips lcd panel with 1080p@120hz refresh rate (Xperia X)
                        2017 - first triple-layer stacked CMOS image sensor with on-chip memory (Xperia XZs/XZP)
                        2017 - first super slow motion 960fps@720p (Xperia XZ premium/XZs)

                        2018 - first super slow motion 960fps@1080p (Xperia XZ2)
                        2018 - first 4k hdr video recording (Xperia XZ2)

                        So Sony definitely cannot promote their stuff appropriately, hands down, but that doesn't mean their are not good at innovating where it's needed since most of their innovations mentioned above made it into every other manufacturer's phones. Nokia ruled back in the days as well and from what I can recall they had only one competitor worldwide... SONY

                          That's totally wrong and misinforming! 1. IPxx stands in Europe since 1989. 2. Motorola Defy was supposedly IP67 by people wgo bought it based on what they thought Motorola said but Motorola never claimed Defy got the official IP certification but rather that it has an equivalent water resistance as IP67. 3. Xperia Z IS THE FIRST smartphone to get officially certified with an Ingress Protection Marking of IP57 which makes it the same with what Defy could do in water UNOFFICIALLY. So you might want to reconsider your idea about what you think you know and what you actually know and are proven facts! Totally different things!

                              Check on Androidheadlines the review of XZ2 Premium. They put Vivo Nex beside it, difference is huge. Nex S screen looks like low end quality compared to 4K.

                              Most expensive and high end TVs are LCD, not oled.

                                  Mike, 01 Jun 2019Which FHD Samsung OLED is better than 4K LCD on Xperia? Every single FHD Samsung panel is better than Xperia Panels. For example A30, A40, A50, etc. and I'm not even talking about S and Note series cause they are way too much better. It's unfair to compare best Samsung panels with 4K Sony mobile panels.

                                    Sony phones are good on paper, the specs are there, but its prices are simply too damn high! It took them forever to redesign their uninspiring boxy phones and their camera software still lags behind the competition even though they make the best mobile camera sensors out there, which is both funny and sad at the same time. 4K on a phone is pointless because our eyes can't tell the difference anyway and wastes too much battery.

                                      Sony were always good conmpetitors but well, when you ompair this with Nokia they sound childish.
                                      Nokia. First smartphone with a camera integrated,
                                      first smartphone with 1 MPx camera
                                      First smarrtphone with 41 mpx camera
                                      First smartphone with OIS
                                      First smartphone with living pictures
                                      First smartphone with refocus
                                      First smartphone with dark situation photography capability
                                      First smartphone with wireless charging
                                      And now, the first smartphone with a camera setup that takes photography in another dimensn, other concept, other meaning.(even tough is more like a prototype, this tech will most probably go further when it comes to smartphone photography.
                                      And this is just the small list.
