I purchased the XZ Premium just before embarking on a brief vacation to the Atlantic coast of the US State of Maine. The 950 and the XZ Premium both deliver tremendous detail in the portrait images, and while the XZ Premium shot does a bit better with the delicate cross-hatching on the “white” background of the top bill, the 950 better renders the color difference on the bronze “bell.” I think these images are different but evenly matched for quality. This one seems like a complete wash to me. Here is the whole scene, as presented by the Lumia 950: I decided to again get closer to the highly detailed paper currency in order to text detail levels. But I think this one goes to the 950 by a nose. This isn’t necessarily all bad, as it does render detail such as the glittery flecks on the green car. The XZ Premium image has a bit more digital noise.
The Lumia 950 renders everything with a warmer tone, which in fact is a bit too warm compared to the real scene to my eyes. But both cameras do a very good job overall. You can see differences in the dollar bills and in the grill of the blue toy car. The 950 ekes out just a bit more detail in the shot overall. And to look at the images in more detail, here are fairly central 1:1 crops, just wait to make sure the page has fully loaded and then use your mouse or trackpad pointer to compare the images: In case you want to grab the original images to do your own analysis, here they are, from the Lumia 950 and Xperia XZ Premium, click the links to download. I enjoyed creating a still life on my kitchen counter for my last shootout, so I did again here. TEST 1: STILL LIFE WITH GOOD INDOOR LIGHT

On Windows 10 Mobile, use the 'AAWP Universal' UWP app, which handles the comparator very competently (see the tips in the app's help screens). This comparator may not work in some browsers. Please be patient while this page loads, if you see a pair of images above each other than you've either not waited long enough or your browser isn't capable enough! You ideally need a powerful, large-screened tablet or a proper laptop or desktop. Note that the interactive comparator below uses javascript and does need to load each pair of images.

So let’s start snapping and pit the results against each other, using the Famed Interactive Comparator (FIC, as no one ever calls it!) All shots were taken on auto settings at full resolution, and cropped to 900x500 for close up “pixel peeping” comparisons. The Lumia 950 has physical Optical Image Stabilization, while the XZ Premium does not, opting again for Qualcomm’s digital “EIS” solution instead. It will again do battle with the Lumia 950’s 20-megapixel sensor, sized at 1/2.4”, with a f/1.9 aperture 26mm lens. Will this lead to improved low-light performance? We shall see.
This means that the XZ Premium has larger pixels than Sony’s prior mobile cameras, with fewer pixels occupying the same space. The sensor is 19 megapixels and sized at 1/2.3”, and with a f/2.0 aperture 25mm lens. It is a “stacked memory” chip, with RAM sandwiched in between the CMOS and control circuitry layers for faster processing (which is what allows the aforementioned motion features). But the sensor itself has some noteworthy features. This moniker probably refers to the camera’s ability to take 960FPS slow motion video as well as its fancy moving laser focus adjustments. The camera module is also Sony’s newest, dubbed “Motion Eye”.
Released in June of 2017, the XZ Premium is powered by Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 835 SoC and 4GB of RAM. Which led me to the coincidentally named Xperia XZ Premium.
Well, I liked the overall phone experience quite a bit with that hardware, and so was hankering for a more “premium” camera experience. The XA1 is Sony’s mid-range phone for 2017. Astute AAWP readers may recall my previous guest shootout, the Lumia 950 vs the Sony Xperia XA1.
