Comparison review
The Xperia Z3 has an overall score of 77.3, which is just a bit better than the LG V20's score of 77. Xperia Z3 is an a lot older and somewhat thicker device than LG V20, but Sony made it just a bit lighter anyway. The Xperia Z3 counts with a better looking display than LG V20, although it has a little bit less pixels per display inch, a way worse resolution of 1920 x 1080px and a little smaller screen.
The Xperia Z3 counts with a little faster processor than LG V20, because although it has 1 GB lesser RAM, and they both have a Quad-Core processor, the Xperia Z3 also counts with an extra graphics processor. LG V20 has a much greater memory to store more apps and games than Sony Xperia Z3, because it has 64 GB internal memory capacity and a SD memory slot that allows up to 1,95 TB.
The LG V20 has a battery lifetime that's just as good as the battery life in Xperia Z3. The Sony Xperia Z3 takes just a bit better photos and videos than LG V20, because although it has a tinier camera aperture, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rates, the Sony Xperia Z3 also counts with a much better resolution back facing camera and a bigger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
Although Xperia Z3 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as LG V20. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Xperia Z3, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the LG V20, giving up some features and specifications.
