The Xperia 1 III counts with just a bit better performance than Galaxy A7, because although it has a 32 bits CPU against 64-bits and doesn't have an extra graphics processor, and they both have the same number of cores, the Xperia 1 III also counts with 10 GB more RAM memory. The Xperia 1 III has a bit sharper screen than Galaxy A7, because it has a much higher resolution of 1644 x 3840px, a larger display and a way higher pixels density.
The Sony Xperia 1 III takes greater pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy A7, because although it has a less mega-pixels back camera, it also counts with a lot higher 3840x2160 video definition.

If you are trying to save some money, you can buy the Galaxy A7, giving up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most with your money.
