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.

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.
