Comparison review
Google Pixel 4a has an overall score of 82.9, which is slightly better than the Xperia Z3's overall score of 77.3. Both of these phones include Android OS (operating system), but the Google Pixel 4a has 11 version and Xperia Z3 has Android 4.4.4 version. Google Pixel 4a's body is noticeably newer, a little thinner and somewhat lighter than Xperia Z3.
The Xperia Z3 has a bit more powerful processing unit than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has an inferior number of cores (but faster) and a smaller amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a graphics processor. Xperia Z3 counts with a much better looking screen than Google Pixel 4a, although it has a little bit smaller display, a quite lower 1920 x 1080px resolution and a just a bit less pixels per inch in the screen.
The Google Pixel 4a has a much greater storage to install applications and games than Xperia Z3, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal storage. Sony Xperia Z3 counts with a bit longer battery life than Google Pixel 4a, because it has a 3200mAh battery size.
The Sony Xperia Z3 features a little bit better camera than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, the Sony Xperia Z3 also counts with a camera with a lot higher 20.7 mega-pixels resolution and a larger back camera sensor taking higher quality pictures and videos.
Although Google Pixel 4a is a better device, it is way more expensive than Xperia Z3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xperia Z3. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Pixel 4a, else you can save some dollars and get the Xperia Z3, resigning a couple specifications.
