The Xperia Z3+ counts with a better looking display than ZTE Axon 20, because although it has a way smaller display and a quite lower 1920 x 1080 resolution, it also counts with a bit higher count of pixels in each inch of display.
ZTE Axon 20 counts with a better camera than Xperia Z3+, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the ZTE Axon 20 also has a camera in the back with a much better 64 megapixels resolution, a bigger camera aperture, a much bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing lot better quality photos and videos and better 60 frames per second video frame rates.

Although ZTE Axon 20 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Xperia Z3+, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xperia Z3+. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the ZTE Axon 20, else you can save some money and get the Xperia Z3+, giving up a couple features and specifications.
