Comparison review
Sony Xperia 1 has an overall score of 82.6, which is just a bit better than Google Pixel 4's 81.9 global score. Sony Xperia 1's design has the same thickness than Google Pixel 4, but it is just a little bit heavier. The Xperia 1 features a more vivid display than Google Pixel 4, because it has a little bigger screen, a better pixel density and a way better 1644 x 3840 resolution.
Xperia 1 has a way bigger memory for apps and games than Google Pixel 4, because it has an external memory slot that supports a maximum of 512 GB and 64 GB more internal storage capacity. The Sony Xperia 1's CPU is just as good as the Google Pixel 4 one, both have the same number of cores and the same RAM amount.
The Xperia 1 features greater battery life than Google Pixel 4, because it has a 3330mAh battery size. The Sony Xperia 1 and Google Pixel 4 have very similar cameras, because although the Sony Xperia 1 has a lower video definition, a tinier camera sensor shooting lower quality videos and pictures and a worse resolution camera in the back, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better photography in poorly lited environments.
Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Google Pixel 4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Pixel 4. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy Xperia 1, else you can save some dollars and get the Google Pixel 4, giving up a couple specifications.
