The Sony Xperia 5 has a bit better battery performance than Google Pixel 3a, because it has 3140mAh of battery capacity against 3000mAh. Xperia 5 has a camera that is just as good as Google Pixel 3a's camera, because although the Xperia 5 has a smaller sensor providing a worse image quality, a worse video resolution and a lesser MP resolution back-facing camera, it also counts with a bigger aperture.
Although Xperia 5 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Google Pixel 3a, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Google Pixel 3a. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia 5, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Google Pixel 3a, letting go a couple specs and features.
