Comparison review
Sony Xperia 1 is a little bit better than the iPhone SE (2020), having an 82.6 score against 81.5. Even being the best cellphone we compare here, the Sony Xperia 1 body is older, a little bit thicker and heavier than iPhone SE (2020). The Xperia 1 counts with a much better looking display than Apple iPhone SE (2020), because although it has way less brightness, it also counts with a way greater count of pixels per display inch, a much higher 1644 x 3840 resolution and a way larger screen.
Sony Xperia 1 counts with a much greater storage capacity to store more games and applications than iPhone SE (2020), because it has 64 GB more internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards that allows a maximum of 512 GB. IPhone SE (2020) has a bit better CPU than Sony Xperia 1, because although it has an inferior number of cores and they are also slower and a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64 bits processing unit.
Sony Xperia 1 has a much longer battery lifetime than Apple iPhone SE (2020), because it has a 3330mAh battery capacity. Apple iPhone SE (2020) shoots clearer photographs and videos than Sony Xperia 1, because although it has a tinier sensor taking worse quality pictures and videos and a smaller aperture, and they both have a 12 MP resolution back-facing camera and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Apple iPhone SE (2020) also counts with better 60 fps video frame rate.
Although Sony Xperia 1 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Apple iPhone SE (2020), and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Apple iPhone SE (2020). So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Sony Xperia 1, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Apple iPhone SE (2020), giving up a couple specs and features.
