Sony Xperia Z5 Premium features a way better screen than LG V20, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a way better display pixel density and a lot better resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. LG V20 counts with a much better storage capacity for applications and games than Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, because it has 32 GB more internal storage capacity and an external memory card slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB.

The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium shoots just a bit better pictures and videos than LG V20, and although they both have a F1.8 aperture, the same video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium also has a bigger back-facing camera sensor and a lot higher 23 megapixels resolution back-facing camera.
Although Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is a better device, it costs a lot more money than LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the LG V20. If you want to save some money, you can buy the LG V20, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
