After many months of rumors, we have finally been able to get out of doubt and see what are all the final specifications of both the Galaxy S9 and the Sony Xperia XZ2. As we have seen, Samsung shows us a design very similar to that of its predecessor, something common considering that the company usually take advantage of their designs for 2 generations.
For its part, Sony has renewed its high-end, but it still does not do its homework, and it seems that the disappearance and / or reduction of the frames does not go with it, following a trend that no other manufacturer is following. We do not know which path Sony wants to follow, But clearly it is the wrong way and if they do not want to realize it in the company, they should rethink their position in the market.
Sony long ago ceased to be a reference in the telephony sector, if it ever managed to be one. The launch of the XZ2 confirms, for yet another year, that the company continues to have a testimonial presence in the telephony sector, perhaps to offer us a surprise in the futureAlthough if he continues at this rate, when he throws it (if he ever does) he will do it again later than his rivals.
Here is a comparison in which we can see the main features of both the Galaxy S9 and the Xperia XZ2, a terminal whose price difference is 50 euros, but which clearly leans towards the Galaxy S9, not only because of its screen without side frames, but also because of the screen, the camera, the security, the weight, the dimensions ...

As you can see that this comparison is in favor of Samsung, when these things happen it is a bit lazy to read them, I hope you are more objective. You don't put WiFI on the Xz2 and what was the comparison: /
