Without a doubt the most anticipated Android flagship this year was the Samsung Galaxy S8. Samsung flagships are always a big deal, as the firm pretty much leads the way when it comes to the Android space; the Galaxy S series is highly regarded, it's typically stuffed with high-end tech and bold new features, as well as having premium-level design. What's more, Samsung wanted to make up for lost revenue and reputation from the Galaxy Note 7 debacle.
But Samsung isn’t the only company putting out awesome flagships this year. Not long ago, at MWC 2017, Sony released its Xperia XZ Premium flagship, which is lining up as one of the best handsets it has produced in years.
Each phone has its own strengths, but which is better and which should you get? Read on to find out!

Both phones come in 64GB storage options–and only 64GB storage options. While some other devices of their ilk do have more built in storage, you’re not up the creek without a paddle. If 64GB isn’t enough for you, both handsets also support storage expansion via the microSD card slot, up to 256GB in size.
When it comes to RAM, 4GB is what you get with either phone, no matter what storage size (the 6GB RAM Galaxy S8 is a China exclusive, sadly). As for processors, the XZ features Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 2.4GHz 64-bit Octa-core processor. That’s the exact same processor in the new S8 and S8+, although this is depending on the region you buy your Samsung handset in. Some regions will get the equally powerful Samsung Exynos 8995 Octa-core CPU. In either case, expect both phones to be matched pretty evenly on the processor front.
In the battery deparment, the XZ technically has a slightly larger battery at 3230 mAh versus the S8’s 3000 mAh battery. Still, expect virtually the same battery life for each device, since the differences in battery size are minuscule and they both need to power the massive screens of each phone.
