Samsung 16-50mm S lens vs Sony new 16-55 2.8 lens

I sold my NX500 for a A6400. The A6400 has a great auto focus and I bought it in first view for doing portraits. Excellent with the Sigma 56mm. I got rid of my much two heavy 85mm from Samsung, which was a great lens.

Now my question: Can anybody out on this planet do a comparasion between the 2 above mentioned lenses? I saw some test of the new Sony 16-55mm and the testers are very happy with this new lens. Sharp until the corners and even compared to some fixed focal length it is amazingly good.

I searched the web, but could not found any comparative test, not even comparable tests in any photo magazine.

The only big disadvantage I can see is that the Sony lens has no stabilizer.
