LG G6 vs. Galaxy S8 vs. Xperia XZ Premium: Three's a company

20 May 2017
It's pick-a-flagship time and these are probably the three best phones of the season. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 are already available worldwide, while the Xperia XZ Premium is just about starting to hit the shelves - so it won't be all that painful a wait if the phone proves worthy.

      Z.AL, 21 May 2017Double tape to wake/sleep is also available on Sony.What about S8's always on 3D touch home button. It can be clicked or double tapped to wake up and unlike LG you can unlock your phone without picking it up, thanks to iris scanner and face unlock. It gives the illusion of under display fingerprint scanner.

                Kha0s, 20 May 2017As much as i wished to see Sony on top of this comparison, ... moreDude,we all see differently so its all matter of how we indiviaully see things as a photographer i never take these kinds of reviews seriously.with the camera xzp it's have real color and sharper without failuring details.the pictures looks super impressive and better than S8 and G6.With the selfie i did not notice a big difference
                Xzp is much better than S8.The s8 is slower to xzp and even xzs.if you dont believe me go and watch phone battles on youtube.

                      You can't go wrong among the three but our pockets will complain.
                      In a few months, we will see the Note 7 and One Plus 5 or a new Pixel which has the same pricing as the S8

                        xXENDER FREAKXx, 21 May 2017Totally. Just look. They added the tripod and Xperia XZ Pre... moreHope they add it in next flagship

                            Oled : 0 black , 470 white
                            Lcd : 0.5 black , 700 white

                            470/0 = unmeasurable contrast
                            700/0.5 = 1400

                            Higher white value = less contrast

                            White of oled is less white than lcd

                                      I don't think those 3 are superb phones. They are historically weak phones.
