Comparison review
Xperia XZs has a general score of 77.2, which is just a bit better than the LG G5's score of 76.1. Xperia XZs's construction is newer, but just a bit heavier and a little thicker than LG G5. LG G5 counts with a slightly better looking screen than Xperia XZs, because it has a better resolution of 1440 x 2560, a little bigger display and a higher pixels amount per inch of screen.
LG G5's CPU is just as good as the Xperia XZs one, they have the same number of cores and 4 GB of RAM. The Xperia XZs shoots a lot better pictures and videos than LG G5, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not nice for low-light captures and video, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the Xperia XZs also counts with a camera in the back with a better 19 megapixels resolution, higher 960 frames per second video frame rates and a bigger camera sensor providing a better image quality.
The LG G5 features a much greater storage capacity to install games and applications than Sony Xperia XZs, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal memory capacity, the LG G5 also has a SD memory slot that supports up to 1,95 TB. The Xperia XZs features a bit better battery duration than LG G5, because it has 2900mAh of battery capacity against 2800mAh.
Although Sony Xperia XZs is a better device, it costs a lot more than LG G5, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG G5. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Sony Xperia XZs, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the LG G5, giving up a couple specs and features.
