The Sony Xperia 1 has a bit better processor than LG V30, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Sony Xperia 1 also has more RAM.
The Xperia 1's battery life is just as good as LG V30's battery duration, although the Xperia 1 also has a 1 percent bigger battery size. LG V30 captures clearer pictures and videos than Xperia 1, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor capturing worse quality photographs and videos, and they both have the same video resolution and a F1.6 camera aperture, the LG V30 also counts with a back-facing camera with a lot better resolution and better video frame rates.
Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the LG V30, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG V30. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia 1, else you can save some dollars and buy the LG V30, giving up a couple specs and features.
