Sony Xperia Z4v counts with a little faster processing unit than Galaxy S8, because although it has 1 GB lesser RAM, and they both have a Octa-Core processor, the Sony Xperia Z4v also counts with an extra graphics processor.
Xperia Z4v shoots slightly better videos and photos than Galaxy S8, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not good for low light photography and video, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same (4K) video resolution, the Xperia Z4v also counts with a much higher resolution back camera and a larger sensor.
