The Sony Xperia Z3+ captures clearer photographs and videos than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for low light photography and videos, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Sony Xperia Z3+ also counts with a larger sensor which gives a higher photo and video quality and a camera in the back with lot more megapixels.
Although Google Pixel 4a is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Sony Xperia Z3+, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Sony Xperia Z3+. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Pixel 4a, else you can save some dollars and buy the Sony Xperia Z3+, letting go some specs and features.
