We are bringing you another smartphone camera comparison, and this time we're putting the Samsung Galaxy Note8 up against the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Although premium and with a great camera and water resistance, the Xperia XZs uses an old Snapdragon 820 chip which is a downer considering its Php39,990 asking price. Unlike the Xperia XZs, the XZ Premium packs internals worthy of the name like the 5.5-inch 4K display, Snapdragon 835 chipset, and 19MP Exmor RS Motion Eye camera. The price is also on the premium side at Php45,490. The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium which launched in the country a couple of months ago along with the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact, is now available for purchase. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium specs: 5.5-inch IPS LCD @ 2160×3840 pixels, 806ppi Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 ARM Cortex A53 1.5GHz quad-core, ARM Cortex A57 2.0GHz quad-core Adreno 430 Graphics 3GB LPDDR4 RAM 32GB internal storage Up to 200GB via microSD LTE Cat. The POCO F8 Pro and the HONOR 400 Pro offer both promising flagship-level experiences without going to that the premium pricing. The POCO F8 Pro is clearly built for performance, gaming, and endurance while the HONOR 400 Pro leans more toward premium design, cameras, and smart software features.
