Sony recently took the wraps off its Flagship smartphone — Xperia XZ Premium. The device falls into the high-end category and poses a direct competition with other leading smartphones including Samsung’s Galaxy S8, HTC U11 and even LG G6 device. This article compares the Sony Xperia XZ Premium with LG’s equally-competitive G6 smartphone in terms of design, software and hardware specifications. Let’s find out which one ends up beating the other.

Features of both smartphones

Sony introduced its Xperia XZ Premium smartphone earlier this year at the MWC, 2017 event in Barcelona.

The smartphone was made available for purchase a month later in March. As noted by several reports, the aforementioned smartphone packs high-notch specifications and a distinctive design as well. One of its primary highlights is its ‘Loop Surface’ design that Sony debuted with this smartphone. While the smartphone does sport a bezel-less design, Xperia XZ Premium’s display is carved out of metal and complemented by diamond-cut chamfered edges. Moreover, the device’s display is also further protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
