Xperia 1 III features a little better processing power than Galaxy S7, because it has a larger number of cores (and they are faster) and a greater amount of RAM. Xperia 1 III has a much bigger storage to install applications and games than Galaxy S7, because it has a slot for an external memory card that holds a maximum of 1 TB and 256 GB internal memory.
The Xperia 1 III shoots much better pictures and videos than Galaxy S7, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the same camera aperture and the same resolution back camera, the Xperia 1 III also has better video frame rates and a lot larger back-facing camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.
