Comparison review
The Xperia XZs has a global score of 77.2, which is a bit better than LG G5's 76.1 global score. Although the Xperia XZs is newer than the LG G5, it's a little bit thicker and just a little bit heavier. LG G5 and Xperia XZs both feature very similar CPUs, they have the same RAM amount and 4 cores.
The LG G5 features just a bit better looking display than Sony Xperia XZs, because it has a little bigger screen, a better screen pixel density and a better 1440 x 2560px resolution. The Sony Xperia XZs captures much better pictures and videos than LG G5, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video definition, the Sony Xperia XZs also counts with better video frame rates, a camera with a higher 19 mega-pixels resolution and a bigger back-facing camera sensor providing a higher image quality.
The LG G5 counts with a very superior storage to store more apps and games than Xperia XZs, and although they both have exactly the same 32 GB internal storage, the LG G5 also has a SD memory card expansion slot that admits up to 1,95 TB. The Sony Xperia XZs counts with just a little better battery life than LG G5, because it has a 2900mAh battery capacity.
Although Xperia XZs is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the LG G5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG G5. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Xperia XZs, otherwise you can save some dollars and get the LG G5, giving up some specs and features.
