Comparison review
Xperia XZ2 Premium has an overall score of 82.2, which is a little bit better than the Apple iPhone SE (2020)'s general score of 81.5. Even being the best in this review, we must tell that it's also older, notably heavier and extremely thicker. The iPhone SE (2020) has a bit superior processing unit than Xperia XZ2 Premium, because although it has 3 GB less RAM and less and slower CPU cores, it also counts with a 64-bit processor.
Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium has a much better looking display than iPhone SE (2020), because it has more brightness, a lot higher pixel count per screen inch, a lot better 2160 x 3840 resolution and a larger display. The Xperia XZ2 Premium counts with a bit better camera than iPhone SE (2020), because although it has worse video frame rates, and they both have a F1.8 aperture and the same video quality, the Xperia XZ2 Premium also counts with a way bigger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors and a camera with a much higher resolution.
Xperia XZ2 Premium has a superior memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Apple iPhone SE (2020), and although they both have the same 64 GB internal memory, the Xperia XZ2 Premium also has a SD card slot that holds up to 400 GB. Xperia XZ2 Premium counts with a superior battery duration than iPhone SE (2020), because it has a 3540mAh battery capacity instead of 1821mAh.
Although Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium is a better device, it costs a lot more than iPhone SE (2020), and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the iPhone SE (2020). If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy the iPhone SE (2020), letting go a few specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
