Comparison review
The Xperia Z3 is a little bit better than the Galaxy A6, having a 77.3 score against 75.8. Even being the best phone we compare here, we must highlight that it is also a older, thicker and a little bit heavier phone. Xperia Z3 counts with a much better screen than Galaxy A6, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a better 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and a better display density.
Xperia Z3 has a little faster processing unit than Galaxy A6, because although it has 4 lesser cores (but faster), and they both have the same RAM amount, the Xperia Z3 also counts with an extra graphics processing unit. The Samsung Galaxy A6 features a greater storage for games and applications than Sony Xperia Z3, and although they both have exactly the same 32 GB internal storage capacity, the Samsung Galaxy A6 also has a SD memory slot that admits up to 400 GB.
Xperia Z3 takes a little bit better pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not nice for low-light photos and video, it also counts with a much higher video quality, a way higher resolution camera in the back and a bigger camera sensor which provides a higher photo and video quality.
The Sony Xperia Z3 has just a bit longer battery life than Galaxy A6, because it has a 3200mAh battery capacity.
Although Xperia Z3 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Xperia Z3, else you can save some dollars and buy the Galaxy A6, letting go some features and specifications.
