The Xperia 5 features a bit better processing power than Google Pixel 4a. Both of them have 8 CPU cores and a 6 GB RAM memory.
Sony Xperia 5 features a bit better looking screen than Google Pixel 4a, because it has a just a little greater display density, a bit larger screen and a slightly higher resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels. Xperia 5 has a very superior storage to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Google Pixel 4a, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory, the Xperia 5 also has a SD extension slot that admits up to 512 GB.
The Xperia 5's camera is very similar to the Google Pixel 4a one, because although the Xperia 5 has a smaller camera sensor taking lower quality photographs, a lower (4K) video quality and a back facing camera with lesser MP, it also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture for better captures in low-light environments.
Sony Xperia 5 and Google Pixel 4a count with incredibly similar batteries performance.
Google Pixel 4a is not only the best phones of the ones we are comparing, but it's also a bargain compared to the other phones.
