LG V20's construction is a little bit heavier but a little thinner than Xperia XZ, and both were released only a couple of months apart. The LG V20's processor is just as good as Xperia XZ's processor, and although the LG V20 has more RAM, they both have the same number of cores.
The LG V20 counts with just a bit better looking display than Sony Xperia XZ, because it has a little bit bigger display, a little bit more pixels per inch in the screen and a better 1440 x 2560 resolution. The Xperia XZ features a little bit better camera than LG V20, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for low-light images and video, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the Xperia XZ also counts with a much more megapixels camera in the back and a larger camera sensor capturing better quality photographs and videos.
