Comparison review
LG G3 is a little bit better than Xperia Z1, with a 76.4 score against 72.8. Both phones in this comparison review use Android OS (operating system), but the LG G3 has a more recent 5.0 version and Xperia Z1 has Android 4.4.4 version, so it provides the user a couple additional features. Although the LG G3 and Xperia Z1 were only released 9 months apart, LG G3's body is just a little lighter but also a bit thicker.
LG G3 has a bit more vivid display than Xperia Z1, because it has a higher 2560 x 1440px resolution, a little bit larger screen and a little more pixels per inch in the screen. LG G3 has a bit superior processing unit than Xperia Z1, and although they both have a 450 MHz graphics processor and a Quad-Core CPU, the LG G3 also has 1 GB more RAM memory.
The LG G3 counts with a bit bigger storage to install applications and games than Xperia Z1, and although they both have the same 32 GB internal memory, the LG G3 also has a slot for an external memory card that holds a maximum of 128 GB. LG G3 has a little bit better camera than Xperia Z1, because although it has a lot tinier back-facing camera sensor, a smaller aperture which is not recommended for low light captures and video and a camera in the back with a much worse 13 MP resolution, it also counts with a much higher 3840x2160 video definition.
LG G3's battery performance is very similar to the battery life in Xperia Z1.
The LG G3 not only is the best phones of the ones we are comparing here, but it's also a bargain compared to the other phones.
