Comparison review
Google Nexus 6 has an overall score of 81.1, which is slightly better than Sony Xperia Z4v's 78.8 global score. Both phones in this review include the same Android 5.1 OS (operating system), so you shouldn't perceive any difference regarding that. Even being the best phone in our current comparison, the Google Nexus 6 is a somewhat heavier and somewhat thicker phone than Sony Xperia Z4v.
The Google Nexus 6 features a bit better CPU than Xperia Z4v, although it has a weaker 500 MHz graphics co-processor and 4 lesser CPU cores (although they are faster), they both have a 3 GB RAM. The Xperia Z4v features a bit sharper display than Google Nexus 6, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have an equal 2560 x 1440 resolution, the Xperia Z4v also counts with a little higher pixel density.
Xperia Z4v counts with just a bit more memory to install games and applications than Google Nexus 6, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with a SD card slot that admits a maximum of 128 GB. Xperia Z4v captures much better photos and videos than Google Nexus 6, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the same video frame rate and a same size aperture, the Xperia Z4v also has a camera with a lot higher resolution.
Google Nexus 6 counts with a bit superior battery performance than Xperia Z4v, because it has a 7% larger battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Xperia Z4v, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Xperia Z4v. If you are trying to save some money, you can buy the Xperia Z4v, and give up some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
