Summary of advantages
Sony Xperia X Performance:
- Higher megapixel count for both front and rear cameras
- MicroSD card doesn’t share with the SIM 2 slot
- Slightly thinner by 2 mm
Samsung Galaxy S7:
- Sharper, high-resolution display
- Bigger RAM
- Larger internal storage option
- Brighter f/1.7 cameras
- Wireless charging
- Heart rate sensor
- Higher battery capacity
- Lighter
Seems like the Galaxy S7 outshines the Xperia X Performance in a lot of aspects. But with the lower resolution display, the Xperia X Performance can benefit in terms of power since it has fewer pixels to power. Also, we’re expecting a lot from the 23-megapixel sensor of Sony that’s been performing well with other Xperia devices.
