Comparison review
The Xperia Z3 is a bit better than LG V20, getting a global score of 77.3 against 77. Xperia Z3 is an extremely older and somewhat thicker cellphone than the LG V20, but Sony could make it just a little lighter anyway. Xperia Z3 features just a bit better performance than LG V20, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM memory, and they both have 4 CPU cores, the Xperia Z3 also counts with a graphics processor.
Sony Xperia Z3 features a brighter screen than LG V20, although it has a just a little less pixels per inch of screen, a bit smaller display and a lot lower resolution of 1920 x 1080px. Xperia Z3 counts with a bit better camera than LG V20, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is worse for shooting photographs or videos in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the Xperia Z3 also counts with a larger back camera sensor providing a higher image quality and a way better resolution camera.
LG V20 counts with a much greater storage capacity to store more apps and games than Xperia Z3, because it has more internal memory capacity and a SD card slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. The Sony Xperia Z3 counts with a battery lifetime that's just as good as LG V20's battery duration.
Although Xperia Z3 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG V20. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can get the LG V20, and give up a few specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
