Comparison review
The Xperia Z5 Premium has a score of 79.8, which is slightly better than the Galaxy A6's global score of 75.8. Even though Xperia Z5 Premium is a better phone than the Galaxy A6, it must be told that it's also an extremely older, just a bit thicker and somewhat heavier phone. Xperia Z5 Premium has a way better screen than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a way higher resolution of 3840 x 2160 and a much greater display density.
The Galaxy A6 counts with a quite bigger memory for apps and games than Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, and although they both have equal internal memory, the Galaxy A6 also has a SD memory slot that holds up to 400 GB. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has a bit faster processing unit than Galaxy A6, and although they both have 8 cpu cores and 3 GB of RAM memory, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium also has a graphics processor.
Xperia Z5 Premium has a much better camera than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for shooting photos or videos in poorly lited environments, it also counts with a back camera with a way better resolution, a lot higher (4K) video quality and a bigger back-facing camera sensor taking better quality photographs.
The Xperia Z5 Premium has a bit longer battery performance than Galaxy A6, because it has 3430mAh of battery capacity instead of 3000mAh.
Although Xperia Z5 Premium is a better device, it costs a lot more than Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy A6. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia Z5 Premium, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A6, giving up some features and specs.
