Comparison review
The Sony Xperia Z3 is a little bit better than Galaxy A6, with a overall score of 77.3 against 75.8. Although the Sony Xperia Z3 is better than the Galaxy A6, we must note that it is also a much older, somewhat thicker and just a little heavier phone. The Sony Xperia Z3 counts with a much more vibrant screen than Galaxy A6, because although it has a little smaller screen, it also counts with a higher pixel amount in each inch of display and a higher resolution of 1920 x 1080px.
The Xperia Z3 counts with a bit more powerful CPU than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although faster), and they both have 3 GB of RAM memory, the Xperia Z3 also counts with an extra graphics processing unit. The Xperia Z3 takes slightly better photographs and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for taking photos and videos in poorly lited situations, it also counts with a much higher 3840x2160 video definition, a larger sensor capturing higher quality pictures and a much more MP back-facing camera.
The Galaxy A6 features a bigger storage for applications and games than Xperia Z3, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal storage capacity, the Galaxy A6 also has an external memory slot that holds a maximum of 400 GB. The Xperia Z3 features just a little bit longer battery life than Galaxy A6, because it has a 3200mAh battery capacity against 3000mAh.
Although Xperia Z3 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy A6. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get Samsung Galaxy A6, and give up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most with your money.
