Comparison review
Google Pixel XL has a general score of 81.3, which is much better than Xperia Z3+'s general score of 73.7. The Google Pixel XL body is newer than the Xperia Z3+'s, but it is incredibly thicker and heavier. Google Pixel XL features a bit better processing unit than Xperia Z3+, because it has a higher number of cores (and also faster) and more RAM.
Sony Xperia Z3+ has a bit sharper display than Google Pixel XL, although it has a quite smaller display, a little lower pixels number per screen inch and a way worse resolution of 1920 x 1080. The Google Pixel XL features a superior storage for games and applications than Sony Xperia Z3+, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory capacity.
The Sony Xperia Z3+ features just a bit better camera than Google Pixel XL, and although they both have the same (4K) video resolution, a same size camera aperture, the same 30 fps video frame rates and a same size camera sensor, the Sony Xperia Z3+ also has a back facing camera with a lot better 20.7 MP resolution.
Google Pixel XL features greater battery performance than Sony Xperia Z3+, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xperia Z3+, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xperia Z3+. If you prefer to save some money, you can get Xperia Z3+, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most with your savings.
