The Xperia Z4v construction is just a bit lighter than Samsung Galaxy A6, but it is somewhat thicker and was released 3 years before. The Xperia Z4v counts with a much sharper screen than Galaxy A6, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a much better resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a much higher number of pixels per inch in the screen.
The Xperia Z4v counts with a little better performance than Galaxy A6, and although they both have the same RAM amount and a Octa-Core processor, the Xperia Z4v also has a graphics processing unit. Galaxy A6 has a bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Xperia Z4v, and although they both have the same internal memory capacity, the Galaxy A6 also has an external memory slot that holds a maximum of 400 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy A6's battery life is very similar to the battery duration in Xperia Z4v. Sony Xperia Z4v captures much better videos and photos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for capturing pictures in low-light environments, it also counts with a larger camera sensor, a much higher (4K) video quality and a camera in the back with a much better resolution.
Although Xperia Z4v is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra features, you can buy Xperia Z4v, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A6, letting go some features and specs.
