The Sony Xperia Z5 has a global score of 77.6, which is slightly better than Huawei P8 Max's 72.6 global score. Sony Xperia Z5's construction is a little bit thicker but a lot lighter than the Huawei P8 Max, and they were only released 5 months apart. Both of these devices use Android OS (operating system), but the Sony Xperia Z5 has a more recent 5.1 version while Huawei P8 Max has Android 5.0 version, so it provides the user a couple additional features.
Sony Xperia Z5 features a bit more vivid screen than Huawei P8 Max, because although it has a way smaller screen, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the Sony Xperia Z5 also counts with a better quantity of pixels per display inch. Huawei P8 Max counts with more memory capacity for apps and games than Sony Xperia Z5, because although it has a slot for external memory cards that admits up to 128 GB against 200 GB, it also counts with more internal memory.
The Xperia Z5 has a quite superior hardware performance than Huawei P8 Max, and although they both have 3 GB of RAM memory, the Xperia Z5 also has an extra graphics processor and more CPU cores. The Huawei P8 Max features a much longer battery lifetime than Xperia Z5, because it has 4360mAh of battery capacity instead of 2900mAh.
The Xperia Z5 takes a lot better pictures and videos than Huawei P8 Max, because it has a bigger aperture for better photography in low light environments, a camera in the back with a way better resolution and a much better (4K) video definition.
Sony Xperia Z5 not only is the best devices of the ones we compare here, but it's also a bargain compared to the other devices, making it an obvious call.
