Comparison review
Sony Xperia XZ3 has an overall score of 79.6, which is a bit better than Fairphone 5's 75.5 score.

Both of these devices work with Android OS (Operating System), but Sony Xperia XZ3 has the newer 9.0 Pie version and Fairphone 5 has Android 13, so it gives you a couple nice extra features.
Xperia XZ3 counts with a bit better screen than Fairphone 5, because although it has a bit smaller screen and much darker display, it also counts with a slightly higher 1440 x 2880 pixels resolution and a just a little greater display pixels density. Fairphone 5 features a little better hardware performance than Xperia XZ3, and although they both have a Octa-Core processor, the Fairphone 5 also has a greater amount of RAM memory.
The Sony Xperia XZ3 shoots much clearer pictures and videos than Fairphone 5, although it has a lot smaller back camera sensor shooting much worse quality videos and pictures, a back camera with a way lower 19 megapixels resolution and a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for low light captures and videos.
