The Sony Xperia 1 has just a bit better battery lifetime than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because it has 3330mAh of battery capacity. The Xperia 1 takes a little bit better photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has slower 24 frames per second video frame rates and a tinier sensor capturing less light and duller colors, and they both have the same video quality and a same resolution back facing camera, the Xperia 1 also counts with a bigger aperture to take better low-light photos.
Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy Note Fan Edition. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Xperia 1, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, resigning a couple specs and features.
