Sony Xperia Z3+ takes a little bit better photographs and videos than Xiaomi Mi MIX, and although they both have a F2 aperture, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same 30 fps video frame rates, the Sony Xperia Z3+ also has a way more megapixels back-facing camera and a lot bigger back camera sensor capturing much higher quality pictures and videos.

So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Xiaomi Mi MIX, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Sony Xperia Z3+, resigning a couple specs and features.
