Hello!

Really happy you brought these 2 devices to light. I personally have been thinking about picking them up myself! I just love Sony's design language. While I don't have both devices to compare I can offer this. The XZ comes in at 502 nits in manual mode and the XZS comes in at 564 nits in manual. This isn't a striking upgrade, but many of the reviews i've watched recently have made specific mention that the XZS does have very good visibility in direct sunlight.

Here is a link to a YouTube video doing a side by side speed test comparison. In the video the XZS is featured on the left and you can tell the screen is a little bit brighter.
