There are only a few similarities between the devices - such as their slate design and the fact that there are powered by the same operating system - Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The connectivity options they share are the HSPA receiver, WiFi support, WiFi Direct, DLNA, and WiFi hotspot. But there are plenty of differences here. First off, their glaring difference in size, the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note touchscreen is taller (146mm vs 128mm) and wider (83mm vs 64mm) than the Xperia S. It is heavier too (178g vs 144g). However, the Note is a tad thinner (9.7mm vs 10.6mm) compared to the Xperia S.
Sony is equipping the Mobile Bravia Engine to the Xperia S’ 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen displaying 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Galaxy Note’s 5.3-inch Super AMOLED screen displayed 800 x 1280. While they are powered by the same operating system, both manufacturers placed their own UI on their respective phones. The Galaxy Note is skinned with the TouchWiz UI, while the Xperia S has the TimeScape UI.
Performance-wise, the Xperia S is powered by the dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and the Samsung Note has a dual-core 1.4GHz. As for storage, the Note comes with 16GB internal memory and an expandable memory slot, the Xperia S on the other hand only comes with a 32GB internal memory.
On the imager front, the Sony Xperia S is equipped with a whopping 12-megapixel Exmor R imager that records 1080p video. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note has a respectable 8-megapixel camera. Front-facing cameras are equipped on both devices, and the Galaxy Note has a 2-megapixel camera, while the Xperia S has a 1.3-megapixel shooter than is able to do 720p video calls.
The bigger Galaxy Note has a bigger 1900mAh battery pack, and claims to have 13 hours of talk time, whilst the Xperia S has eight hours.
Comparing the RM2299 Samsung Galaxy Note and the (estimated) RM1900 Sony Xperia S, there is a RM399 or 17 percent difference between the two. How do you choose between the both of them? The Samsung Galaxy Note is a bulky phone, but it comes with a wide 5.3-inch screen and a stylus if you want to take notes. The Note is equipped with some pretty decent hardware too.
But we prefer the Xperia S which comes with plenty of high-end multimedia functionality. The Bravia powered screen and the 12-megapixel Exmor R camera alone has impressed us. Encased in that attractive chassis you’ll get a NFC support and a slew of hardware. If it does come to Malaysian shores at less than RM2000, we’d say it’s a good deal.
