Sony v/s Samsung: An overview
Before diving deep into the tech area, let us look at the brands. Sony is a Japan-based multinational company, abbreviated for Sony Group Corporation. It was founded in the year 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita. Is now among the top companies in the world. The company has one of the largest networks of electronics products in the world. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. Is a South Korean company founded in the year 1969? The company has its headquarter in Suwon-si with many branches all over the world. Samsung is officially the largest company in the world since the year 2006 and has been so ever since.
Sony & Samsung manufactures a wide range of televisions, from 32 inches to big screens like that of 85 inches. Now, coming to the specifics, Sony is currently focusing on OLED TVs while Samsung is molded towards the QLED range. The rivals Companies also prefer different HDR forms and operating systems which make a lot of difference.
OLED v/s QLED
Today’s television market is dominated by two main categories: OLED & QLED. OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Oled displays are self-emissive which means that every pixel has its light. Many a time it has been seen that Oled screens tend to have burned in images but it happens after a very long duration of time. Sony offers a good range of OLED TVs as it is one of the best in this technology.
QLED stands for Quantum dot LED Tv, it is an incredible technology that is very popular among the people of India these days. They are mainly known for their bright images and picture quality. They are a lot brighter than the OLED TVs and, the best technology we have today. In this, the pixels do not emit their light rather use the light of a secondary source. Samsung is a pioneer in this technology and has offered amazing televisions highlighting the Qled technology.
Aesthetic Design
One can know the brand of the television by just looking at it. All the companies have a different style and probably a signature mark for their products. Samsung company is quite obsessed with ultra-slim designs that give a sleek look to your wall. Samsung makes the thinnest bezel and cabinet depth among all other tv manufacturing brands. No doubt, Sony manufactures some of the best-looking televisions but the bezel and cabinet depth are bulkier compared to Samsung. Talking about the Tv stand, we think Sony is far ahead of Samsung. It offers good quality glass stand with its top models. Other than, that both the companies provide plastic stands with their televisions.
Dolby vision v/s HDR10+
These days if you buy a smart Tv in a mid-range then it is more likely to be of HDR quality. You might not be aware but HDR comes in different forms. HDR10 is supported by all HDR TV’s and its quality is far better than the SDR television. The Dolby vision is quite advanced and is highly recommended. The Dolby Vision is used by Sony & LG to name the best ones, whereas HDMI10+ is backed by Panasonic & Samsung but now Samsung supports the Dolby vision.
User Interface
Talking about the user interface, both the companies are somewhat the same. Sony & Samsung both have done a commendable job when it comes to the user interface. As both of them are renowned brands and are concerned about their customers’ needs, they offer easy to access and navigate interface. The user interface is merely the experience a user has while navigating through the various menus of the Tv.
Tyzen v/s Android TV
Samsung company uses the Tyzen OS platform, which is very fast and easy to navigate. Though it is not as good as LG webOS, it is pretty good. Sony uses the Android Tv platform in its mid and premium range of televisions. In the end, it is your choice to what you prefer to use.
Remote control
It is somewhat hard to choose which is better because it depends on whether you like a remoter with a few buttons or more. Samsung provides a sleek remote that handles everything from volume, channels to power and the home button. You are also provided with a mic if you like to give voice commands. Unlike Samsung, Sony remotes have lots of buttons. You would find everything you wish to have in all the mid-level television remotes. Sony’s remotes are more of a traditional look, whereas Samsung ones are well designed.
Internet connectivity
Internet connectivity is something that won’t bother you at all. Both the companies have good internet connectivity, be it WiFi or Ethernet.
