Comparison review
The Google Nexus 6 has a score of 81.1, which is better than Xperia XA1's 71.7 overall score. The Google Nexus 6 is an a lot older, incredibly thicker and heavier phone than the Xperia XA1. Google Nexus 6 has a bit more powerful processing unit than Sony Xperia XA1, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although they are faster), and they both have the same RAM memory amount, the Google Nexus 6 also counts with an additional graphics co-processor.
Google Nexus 6 features a way better looking screen than Xperia XA1, because it has a larger display, a way higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a way higher amount of pixels per inch in the screen. The Xperia XA1 shoots slightly better photographs and videos than Google Nexus 6, and although they both have the same video frame rate, a F2 camera aperture and the same 1920x1080 video resolution, the Xperia XA1 also has a back facing camera with much more MP.
The Sony Xperia XA1 has a quite bigger memory capacity to install applications and games than Google Nexus 6, because although it has only 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with an external memory slot that holds up to 256 GB. The Google Nexus 6 features a much better battery duration than Sony Xperia XA1, because it has 3220mAh of battery capacity instead of 2300mAh.
Although Google Nexus 6 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Sony Xperia XA1, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Sony Xperia XA1. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the Sony Xperia XA1, and give up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
