Comparing the Xperia Z3 and iPhone 6 is important because the devices have their own loyal consumers despite the rise of cheap mobile phones, Inquisitr reported.

The battle of two premium tech manufacturers is a classic one. Both companies are known to deliver high quality smart phones. Which one is better?

Design and Build

For Xperia Z3, Sony chose the classic style. The device is square-shaped with mounted buttons and rounded sides.  The device is combination of glass and aluminum with nylon corners that could prevent damage when the phone is dropped. Xperia Z3 has a dust and waterproof design, which means that the device can be submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

iPhone 6 has a unique look compared to previous models. It has rounded edges from the metal to the glass cover. The phone is also flat and thin, which makes it very handy.

Xperia Z3 is 7.3 millimeters thick and weighs 152 grams while the iPhone 6 at 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 millimeters and weighs 129 grams.

The Apple device is smaller and handier. The Sony handset is dust and water proof. Consumers must decide which factor is the most important.

Display

Sony Xperia Z3 has an impressive display with IPS LCD capacitive touch screen in 16M colors. It's a 5.2in screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. iPhone 6 has a 4.7in display. It is an LED-backlit IPS LCD, capacitive touch screen with 16M colors.

iPhone 6 has a sharp and colorful display with good viewing angles but Xperia Z3 is definitely the choice for screen and display, according to Mac World.

Cameras

iPhone 6 comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera, and 2.1 megapixel front facing camera while the Z3 uses a 20.7 megapixel rear camera with a 2.2 megapixel front facing camera. In this round, the Sony gadget easily tops the battle. Apple has featured a slow-mo video and Burst mode but Sony offered a video shoot up to 4K quality, Digital Trends reported.

Specs

The processing power is important. Xperia Z3 has quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor at 2.5GHz and paired with 3GB of RAM. iPhone 6 has an Apple A8 processor but this is only a dual-core chip running at 1.4 GHz with only 1GB RAM.
