If camera quality is a priority for you, the Apple iPhone 15 offers generally higher photo and video quality, despite being the less expensive option. However, if you prefer a phone with a larger screen and higher screen resolution for crisp visuals, the Sony Xperia 1 III excels in those areas. Additionally, for those who value a high-refresh-rate display, the Sony has a 120Hz screen which makes for smoother scrolling and animations, in comparison to the iPhone's 60Hz. The iPhone boasts a longer battery life, so if you're often on the go, this could be a crucial factor. The Sony, on the other hand, offers more RAM and a richer set of features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via an SD card, which the iPhone lacks. Keep in mind the iPhone runs on iOS while the Xperia uses Android, which may affect your decision based on your preference for a particular ecosystem. Give Feedback
