So I had a Z1 and Z2, and the Galaxy was an S8+. To be honest, I don't remember much about them, but overall I think I'd rate the Xperias higher than the Galaxy simply because I don't remember ever being annoyed with them. They were just reasonable, good phones that didn't try to do anything crazy.

My two major gripes with the Galaxy were:

• There was a HUGE physical button that would activate the Bixby voice assistant thingy so I'd often press it by accident. The button could only disabled in the Bixby app... which required a Samsung account. So I had to create an account just so I could go into the settings and flip a switch to disable that stupid button, and then never use the app or account again.

• The fingerprint reader was totally useless. It was so small that it wouldn't work unless I hit it just right, and it was placed on the back of the phone right next to the camera so it was basically impossible to hit reliably, and chances are I'd accidentally get fingerprints on the camera instead. It was even worse with a protective case on because the reader was recessed inside the hole for the camera.

The one thing I really liked about the Galaxy was the always on display. It was nice being able to check the time in the dark without lighting up the entire screen and blinding myself. For my next phone, I'll probably get something that has that feature.
