Xperia Z4v counts with a little faster processing unit than LG G5, because although it has less RAM, it also counts with an extra GPU and a higher number of cores. The Sony Xperia Z4v features a better screen than LG G5, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have an equal resolution of 2560 x 1440, the Sony Xperia Z4v also counts with a bit higher pixel density.

The Sony Xperia Z4v features a bit better camera than LG G5, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for shooting pictures and videos in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the Sony Xperia Z4v also counts with a back-facing camera with a much better 20.7 megapixels resolution and a bigger camera sensor capturing better quality videos and pictures.
