Comparison review
The LG G5 is a little bit better than the Xperia Z3+, getting a global score of 76.1 against 73.7. Even though the LG G5 is newer than the Xperia Z3+, it is just a bit heavier and just a bit thicker. Both of these phones have Android OS (operating system), but LG G5 has newer 8.0 Oreo version and Xperia Z3+ has Android 5.0, so it gives a couple additional features and increased performance.
The LG G5 counts with a bit superior processor than Xperia Z3+, because it has a greater number of cores and more RAM. The Sony Xperia Z3+ has a bit more vivid screen than LG G5, although it has a little bit lower pixel amount per inch in the screen, a little smaller screen and a lot worse resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Xperia Z3+ shoots clearer videos and photos than LG G5, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Xperia Z3+ also counts with a larger sensor and a much more mega-pixels back-facing camera. The LG G5 counts with a much bigger storage capacity to install applications and games than Sony Xperia Z3+, and although they both have exactly the same 32 GB internal memory, the LG G5 also has an external memory slot that allows up to 1,95 TB.
The Xperia Z3+ counts with a bit superior battery lifetime than LG G5, because it has a 2930mAh battery capacity instead of 2800mAh.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it is a lot 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 want that extra specs, you can buy the LG G5, otherwise you can save some money and get the Xperia Z3+, letting go some features and specs.
