Huawei Mate 8 counts with a quite superior hardware performance than Xperia Z3+, because it has a greater amount of RAM memory and a higher number of cores.
The Sony Xperia Z3+ counts with a sharper display than Huawei Mate 8, because although it has a little bit smaller display, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1920 x 1080px, the Sony Xperia Z3+ also counts with a just a bit more pixels per screen inch. The Huawei Mate 8 has much more memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Sony Xperia Z3+, and although they both have a SD card slot that holds a maximum of 128 GB, the Huawei Mate 8 also has 128 GB internal memory.
Xperia Z3+ has a much better camera than Huawei Mate 8, and although they both have the same aperture, the Xperia Z3+ also has a lot higher 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a lot better resolution back facing camera. The Huawei Mate 8 features a way better battery life than Sony Xperia Z3+, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity against 2930mAh.
Although Huawei Mate 8 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than 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, you can buy Huawei Mate 8, else you can save some dollars and buy the Xperia Z3+, letting go a couple features and specs.
