Comparison review
The Xperia 1 has a general score of 82.6, which is a bit better than Google Pixel's 80.2 overall score. The Xperia 1 construction is notably newer and just a little thinner than Google Pixel's, although it is also somewhat heavier. Xperia 1 has a sharper screen than Google Pixel, because it has more pixels per screen inch, a much higher resolution of 1644 x 3840px and a larger screen.
The Xperia 1 features a much greater storage capacity for apps and games than Google Pixel, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage, the Xperia 1 also has an external memory slot that supports a maximum of 512 GB. The Xperia 1 has a little faster CPU than Google Pixel, because it has more cores and a greater amount of RAM memory.
The Google Pixel's camera is just as good as Xperia 1's camera, because although the Google Pixel has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, it also counts with a camera in the back with more MP, better 30 fps video frame rates and a larger camera sensor providing a better image quality.
Xperia 1 counts with improved battery duration than Google Pixel, because it has a 3330mAh battery size.
Although Sony Xperia 1 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Google Pixel. If you want to save some money, you can get Google Pixel, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your money.
