The two smartphone models will be competing in the market without necessarily having radical advantages over the other. In most aspects, it will be just a matter of consumer preference that could be totally arbitrary and subjective.

Some consumers would be choosing solely on the basis of brand names; however, there are other more discerning consumers who will choose based on merits and according to their needs.

For starters, both smartphone models have high resolution cameras that standout from the rest.

Samsung Galaxy S7 front camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels and the back camera has a resolution of 12 megapixels. According to Samsung, the back camera of the Samsung S7 has dual pixel and autofocus features, allowing it to capture clear images even in low illuminations such as during night time.

On the other hand, the Sony Xperia X offers higher camera resolutions with 13 megapixels for its front camera and 23 megapixels for its back camera. Similar to the Galaxy S7, Xperia X's camera can also be used in low illumination conditions, but the main difference is that the low-light sensors are integrated with the front camera. It is the front camera that is ideal for low illumination situations.

In terms of battery life, both the Galaxy S7 and the Xperia X have batteries that have long-lasting power, but they can be recharged much quicker. The Samsung smartphone has a wireless charger while the Sony unit has Quick Charger UCH10.

Online shoppers and gamer benefit from both smartphone models in terms of convenience, as Galaxy S7 has the Samsung Pay that is useful to shoppers, while Xperia X has PS4 Remote Play that provides the means for players to continue playing even if TV is inaccessible.
