Comparison review
The Sony Xperia XZs is a little bit better than the Xiaomi Mi 6, with a 77.2 score against 76.5. The Sony Xperia XZs construction is a bit thicker but a little lighter than Xiaomi Mi 6, and both of them were released with only a few months difference. The Xiaomi Mi 6 counts with just a little better hardware performance than Xperia XZs, because it has a greater number of cores and a greater amount of RAM.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 has a bit better display than Sony Xperia XZs. Both of them have a greater pixel count in each inch of screen, exactly the same 1080 x 1920 resolution and a display with the same size. Xperia XZs counts with a very superior camera than Xiaomi Mi 6, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the Xperia XZs also counts with a much more megapixels camera, higher video frame rates and a way larger back-facing camera sensor capturing much better quality videos and pictures.
Xiaomi Mi 6 has a bigger memory for games and applications than Xperia XZs, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory. The Xiaomi Mi 6 counts with a bit longer battery duration than Xperia XZs, because it has a 3350mAh battery capacity against 2900mAh.
Although Xperia XZs is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xiaomi Mi 6, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xiaomi Mi 6. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia XZs, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Xiaomi Mi 6, letting go a couple features and specs.
