Both Google's Nexus 5 2015 and Sony's Xperia Z6 bring their own pros and cons to the table. Now, it's worth seeing just how the two phones stack up next to each other.

Starting off with processors, Google's Nexus 5 2015 is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core model. Sony's Xperia Z6 model, on the other hand, is likely to be equipped with the Snapdragon 820 processor.

When considering phones, people also take a very close look at what they're getting in terms of a display, and according to Android Pit, Sony's Xperia Z6 will most likely end up with a UHD display as opposed to the 4K ultra HD display they featured in the Xperia Z5 Premium. Google's offering will have a full HD display for users to enjoy as they watch videos, scroll through messages, and do all the other activities people like to do when using their handhelds.

Moving on to some of the other more unique features of the respective phones, when it comes to Sony's Xperia Z6, rumors suggest that it will end up also employing the OmniBalance design that is present in other smartphones from the company. For those looking for even more reasons to get Google's Nexus 5 2015, they'll be glad to know it has a built-in fingerprint sensor for added security and it will also be running the all-new Android Marshmallow operating system the first day it becomes available.

As of now, the details regarding Google's Nexus 5 2015 are probably more reliable considering they reportedly came from leaked official documents, according to Android Police.

The details of the Xperia Z6 are a little sketchier simply because Sony has yet to officially announce what specs and features can be expected from it.

People also have to wait longer for the Xperia Z6 as the phone is not expected to be announced until February of next year at the earliest, while Google's offering is already within reach.
