Comparison review
Sony Xperia XZs is a bit better than Galaxy A6, with a 77.2 score against 75.8. Sony Xperia XZs's construction is just a little bit lighter than the Galaxy A6, but it is a little bit thicker and was released around 14 months before. The Xperia XZs has a bit better CPU than Galaxy A6, because although it has 4 less CPU cores (but faster), it also counts with 1 GB more RAM.
The Xperia XZs features a much better looking display than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with more pixels per inch in the display and a higher 1080 x 1920 resolution. Xperia XZs captures a lot better photos and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is worse for low-light captures, it also counts with a larger back camera sensor shooting better quality videos and photographs, a more mega pixels camera and a much higher (4K) video resolution.
The Galaxy A6 has a little bit more memory to store more games and applications than Xperia XZs, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage, the Galaxy A6 also has a SD extension slot that supports a maximum of 400 GB. Galaxy A6 has a bit better battery performance than Xperia XZs, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity against 2900mAh.
Although Sony Xperia XZs is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Sony Xperia XZs, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A6, giving up a couple specs and features.
