What CompareTab says about Xiaomi 18 Pro Max vs Sony Xperia XZ Premium
Xiaomi 18 Pro Max has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Xperia XZ Premium, with 12 GB of RAM versus 4 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 64 GB, a 8500 mAh battery versus 3230 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 19 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 100W charging. Sony Xperia XZ Premium, however, is around $249 cheaper, lighter at 191 g versus 235 g, and thinner at 7.9 mm versus 8.39 mm. The main trade-off is 18 Pro Max’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus Xperia XZ Premium’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
