Sony Xperia Z4v counts with a bit more vivid display than Galaxy Note Edge, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have the same 2560 x 1440px resolution, the Sony Xperia Z4v also counts with a just a bit greater pixels density.
The Xperia Z4v features a bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, and although they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the Xperia Z4v also has a lot more mega pixels back facing camera, a bigger back camera sensor which offers a higher image and video quality and a larger diafragm aperture.
