Both of them have a same size display, an equal 2560 x 1440 resolution and the same display pixels density.
Lumia 950 features a bit more memory for games and applications than Xperia Z4v, and although they both have exactly the same internal memory, the Lumia 950 also has a slot for external memory cards that admits up to 200 GB. Xperia Z4v has a better processing unit than Lumia 950, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM memory, the Xperia Z4v also has an extra graphics processing unit and a larger number of cores.
The Xperia Z4v takes clearer videos and photos than Lumia 950, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for low-light images, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Xperia Z4v also counts with a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing higher quality videos and pictures and a more MP back facing camera.
The Xperia Z4v has a battery duration that is just as good as the Lumia 950 one.
The Xperia Z4v not only is the best devices between the ones we are comparing, but it's also a bargain compared to the other devices.
