Comparison review

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a bit better than the Xperia Z3, having a global score of 81.6 against 77.3. Samsung Galaxy Note 4's construction is a bit heavier but just a little bit thinner than the Xperia Z3, and both of them were only released 0 months apart. Both phones we compare here include Android operating system, but Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has 5.0 version and Xperia Z3 has Android 4.4.4, so it gives some additional features.

Xperia Z3 has a little bit better display than Samsung Galaxy Note 4, although it has a quite lower pixel amount per inch in the display, a quite smaller display and a way lower resolution of 1920 x 1080px. Galaxy Note 4's memory capacity for applications and games is just as good as the Sony Xperia Z3 one, they have a slot for an SD memory card that holds up to 128 GB and equal 32 GB internal storage capacity.

The Galaxy Note 4 counts with just a little better hardware performance than Sony Xperia Z3, and although they both have the same RAM amount and the same number of cores, the Galaxy Note 4 also has a better graphics processor working at 500 megahertz. Galaxy Note 4 has a battery duration that's very similar to the battery life in Xperia Z3, although the Galaxy Note 4 also has a 3220mAh battery capacity instead of 3200mAh.

Xperia Z3 features a slightly better camera than Galaxy Note 4, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video resolution, the Xperia Z3 also has a much more MP camera, a larger back camera sensor shooting better quality pictures and videos and a bigger aperture.

Although Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Xperia Z3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xperia Z3. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Xperia Z3, resigning some specs and features.
