Comparison review
The Nokia XR20 is a bit better than Xperia Z3, with an 80.8 score against 77.3. Although the Nokia XR20 is extremely newer than Xperia Z3, it is incredibly heavier and thicker. Both devices we compare here come with Android OS (operating system), but the Nokia XR20 has the previous 11 version while Xperia Z3 has Android 4.4.4.
The Xperia Z3 counts with a little faster processing unit than Nokia XR20, because although it has lesser CPU cores (although they are faster) and lesser RAM, it also counts with a graphics co-processor. Xperia Z3 features a sharper display than Nokia XR20, because although it has a really smaller screen and a little lower 1920 x 1080 resolution, it also counts with a quite greater pixel quantity in each inch in the screen and a little bit brighter display.
Nokia XR20 has a much bigger memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Sony Xperia Z3, because it has an external memory card slot that admits a maximum of 512 GB and 128 GB internal storage capacity. The Nokia XR20 has a much longer battery life than Sony Xperia Z3, because it has 4630mAh of battery capacity against 3200mAh.
The Nokia XR20 captures just a bit better photographs and videos than Sony Xperia Z3, and although they both have the same 1920x1080 (Full HD) video quality and the same sensor size, the Nokia XR20 also has a bigger aperture to take better low light photography, a back-facing camera with a much better 48 mega-pixels resolution and better 60 frames per second video frame rates.
Although Nokia XR20 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Xperia Z3, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xperia Z3. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Nokia XR20, otherwise you can save some dollars and get the Xperia Z3, resigning some specifications.
