Comparison review
IPhone 8 has a general score of 85, which is better than Xperia Z3+'s 73.7 overall score. IPhone 8's design is incredibly newer than the Xperia Z3+'s, but it's just a little bit heavier and just a bit thicker. The iPhone 8 features a very superior CPU than Sony Xperia Z3+, because although it has less RAM memory, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and they are faster) and a 64-bit processor.
The Sony Xperia Z3+ features a slightly better looking screen than iPhone 8, because it has a little bit bigger screen, a much better resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a better pixel quantity per inch of display. Xperia Z3+ captures clearer photos and videos than iPhone 8, because although it has a smaller camera aperture and lower video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the Xperia Z3+ also counts with a much bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a camera with much more megapixels.
IPhone 8 has a much better storage capacity for games and applications than Xperia Z3+, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with more internal memory. Xperia Z3+ counts with a much longer battery lifetime than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a 61% larger battery size.
Although Apple iPhone 8 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Xperia Z3+, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Xperia Z3+. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone 8, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Xperia Z3+, giving up some specs and features.
