Sony Xperia 1 features a much better looking display than Galaxy A01, because it has a lot higher 1644 x 3840 resolution, a little bit larger screen and much more pixels per screen inch. The Xperia 1 counts with just a bit better camera than Galaxy A01, because although it has a camera in the back with a worse 12 megapixels resolution, it also counts with a bigger camera sensor, a way larger aperture to capture better low light captures and a lot higher video quality.
