The Xperia XZs is an older and a little bit thicker cellphone than the Asus ZenFone 5Q, but Sony was able to make it a bit lighter anyway. The Xperia XZs and Asus ZenFone 5Q count with really similar displays, because although the Xperia XZs has a bit lower resolution of 1080 x 1920px and a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a just a little greater display pixel density.
The Asus ZenFone 5Q features a lot bigger storage capacity to install applications and games than Xperia XZs, because it has 32 GB more internal storage and an external SD slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB. The Asus ZenFone 5Q has just a little better performance than Xperia XZs, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Asus ZenFone 5Q also has more 2.2 GHz cores.
Xperia XZs shoots greater videos and photos than Asus ZenFone 5Q, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the Xperia XZs also has a higher resolution camera, faster video frame rates and a larger aperture to take better low-light images and videos. Asus ZenFone 5Q counts with a bit superior battery lifetime than Xperia XZs, because it has a 3300mAh battery capacity instead of 2900mAh.
Although Xperia XZs is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Asus ZenFone 5Q, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Asus ZenFone 5Q. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia XZs, else you can save some money and buy the Asus ZenFone 5Q, giving up some features and specs.
