Comparison review
The Sony Xperia XZ1 has an overall score of 78.3, which is just a bit better than Xperia Z3+'s score of 73.7. The Sony Xperia XZ1 design is much newer than the Xperia Z3+'s, but it is just a little bit heavier and just a bit thicker. The Xperia Z3+ counts with just a bit better looking display than Xperia XZ1. Both of them have a screen of the same size, exactly the same resolution of 1920 x 1080px and the same quantity of pixels per screen inch.
The Xperia XZ1 counts with a superior memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Sony Xperia Z3+, because it has a slot for external memory cards that supports up to 1,95 TB and 64 GB internal memory capacity. Sony Xperia XZ1 has a superior CPU than Xperia Z3+, because it has more RAM and a greater number of cores (and faster).
Xperia XZ1's camera is very similar to the camera in Xperia Z3+, and although the Xperia XZ1 has a worse resolution camera and a lower 3840x2160 video definition, they both have a same size sensor and a same size diafragm aperture. The Xperia Z3+ counts with a little longer battery lifetime than Sony Xperia XZ1, because it has a 2930mAh battery size against 2700mAh.
Although Xperia XZ1 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Sony Xperia Z3+, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Sony Xperia Z3+. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia XZ1, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Sony Xperia Z3+, resigning some specs and features.
