The Sony Xperia Z4v counts with a slightly better camera than Xperia 1, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is worse for capturing photographs or videos in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the Sony Xperia Z4v also counts with a camera in the back with a way higher resolution, a bigger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and better video frame rate.

Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Xperia Z4v, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Xperia Z4v. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy Xperia 1, else you can save some dollars and get the Xperia Z4v, letting go a couple specifications.
