The new Sony Xperia S was released almost a year apart from competitor Samsung Galaxy S II, but their characteristics are very similar: both are Android devices with dual core processor and 4.3-inch screen. The main difference is the photographic industry on the latest Xperia is a 12 megapixels and the screen has 720p HD resolution.
The Japanese product is now the flagship of the house, like the Galaxy S II is Samsung, but being out so late must then face the competition from next-generation smartphone with quad-core processors. Note that the test is in favor of its dual core 1.5GHz CPU and GPU Adreno 220 has fought most of the smartphone now on the market.
But leaving aside the question CPU Japanese product also carries a very high density of pixels (720p) for its 4.3 inch screen with Bravia technology. Then as stated above its 12-megapixel camera can record video at 1080p, a major advantage since the majority of products on the market and those soon to be released, have an 8 megapixel camera. We compare the two products in the second part of the post.
Sony Xperia S better than Samsung Galaxy S II:
- 4.3 inch screen at 720p (342ppi) improved by 4.3-inch WVGA resolution (217ppi)

The conclusion does not lead to any winner by comparing the specifications on paper; they both have something the other lacks. When we have the opportunity MobileBlog perform a thorough test of performance on the field, including a video recording capabilities and how the two processors react to the workload. On paper the Japanese model should have more autonomy with the bigger battery, but in contrast has a processor with more frequency.
