Display:
Compared to the Sony Xperia Z Smartphone (12.7 cm (5 inches) touch screen, quad-core, 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 16GB, 13 megapixel camera, Android 4.1) black, you can see the much higher resolution of the same not really notice. The presentation of the "True HD IPS Plus display" of LG acts in direct comparison a little more natural. Also, the lower release of the LG Optimus G because of the smaller screen size affects little dramatic.
It is also the reason why I have considered my Optimus G in more detail. Really I am not yet warmed up to the large 5-inch display of the Sony Xperia Z.
Processor:
In both smartphones a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, its four cores clocked at 1.5 GHz works. So it is no surprise hardly that both phones are quickly about the same.
Namely sauschnell.
Although not all four cores affect at standard actions, such as starting of apps. However, it all happens at lightning speed and especially smoothly.
It's a pleasure.
Some games from the Tegra Zone by NVIDIA also launched quickly and ran smoothly. And I'm not even sure if those games have addressed all four processor cores.
The RAM is the LG Optimus G with 2 GB as big as the the Sony Xperia Z
Photography / Video:
Both smartphones are equipped with a 13 megapixel camera. That says something about but not necessarily the quality of the photos.
But both smartphones shoot excellent photos.
Had the LG P880 Optimus 4X HD Smartphone (11.9 cm (4.7 inches) touch screen, 8 megapixel camera, 1.5GHz, NFC, WiFi, Android 4.0) black have problems with the autofocus, so the LG Optimus G makes no such weaknesses. I tested the smartphone in hazy weather outside and with and without flash indoors. Especially in the dim light, the LG has seen subjectively perhaps taken a trail better photos. The photos of the Sony Xperia Z tend to minimal krisseligen image parts in low light.
I say this as a user of the Sony Xperia Z. However, the differences are minimal.
Objectively afford the two smartphones at this point an equally good performance.
The same goes for video recording. The LG Optimus G is to be able to exclude video clips in outstanding quality. Stuttering or like I do not have to find in the test shots. The limiting factor here certainly the limited memory of the LG Optimus G.
Speaking of video: both phones could also difficult video formats, such as for example play MKV files with DTS sound. In a pinch you here reaches back to the VLC player for Android or the BS Player.
In both cases, ranging from the free versions PlayStore.
Telephony:
Again, there is the LG Optimus G, as the Sony Xperia Z no reason to complain. The sound quality is clear, clear and free from blechernden noise. My interlocutors attested both phones also a good Microphone function.
Processing:
2xWow! Here, too, both phones give nothing. The LG Optimus G is forward, like equipped on the back with Gorilla Glass 2. On the back it has a pattern which exacerbated the noble impression, similar to how it has been shown 4 16GB Smartphone the LG Google Nexus LG. Although it has no rounded corners, it is very comfortable to hold and can be operated with one hand easily.
This also works with the Sony Xperia Z, although the one-hand operation is here much less comfortable.
Both phones weigh almost the same amount. The LG is with 145 grams according to the manufacturer 2 grams lighter than the Sony.
No doubt, both handsets are handled perfectly. The Sony is dust to IP57 and waterproof. The edges of the Sony are protected with some kind of gum when dropped.
From impression ago, but you would rather the LG dare to survive a fall without a case without prejudice. I would recommend the use of a protective sheath in both cases.
Battery:
The Sony battery has a capacity of 2330, of the LG one of 2100 mAh.
The capacity advantage of the Sony Xperia Z comes at the expense of larger displays. Again, both smartphones give nothing.
Depending on usage patterns so that you can bridge a day. Time surfing the Sony Xperia Z with automatic brightness indoors with UMTS makes recharging required for about 5 hours. On a similar level moves, according to previous impressions, the LG Optimus G.
I have not long had the LG for testing Verfügumg to proclaim a definitive statement can.
If you like to make friends with a Windows Phone, which the Samsung GT-I8750ALADBT ATIV S smartphone may (12.2 cm (4.8 inch) Super AMOLED display, 8 megapixel camera, full HD, Win 8) aluminum silver accurate Watch.
That is the smartphone with the best battery performance, which I have previously owned and always use when I have no loading facility available.
Conclusion:
LG Optimus G or Sony Xperia Z? Ultimately, this is also a matter of taste.
Who can reach 4.7 inches and without the dust and water proof housing, which is the LG Optimus G well served. For this phone also talks of the currently favorable purchase price. But the memory of the LG can not expand. A permanently installed battery both.
From the power and performance to give both smartphones nothing.
The LG Optimus G gets me also 5 stars
