The Sony Xperia Z3 features a 5.2-inch display while the POMP W99 packs a 5.5-inch display into its 2mm wider and 1.6mm thicker body. It is the resolution where the POMP W99 really storms into the lead against the Xperia Z3 though.

Sony offers a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display on the Xperia Z3, which provides a pixel density of 424ppi, while the POMP W99 moves into 2K territory with its 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution that delivers a 534ppi.

While both offer LCD displays, the larger POMP W99 display will be quite a lot sharper and feature more detail than the Sony Xperia Z3 are there are over 100 more pixels packed in per inch. Sony claims this difference isn't noticeable to the human eye on this sized device however, so that's a point worth remembering if you are selecting a device for the display alone.

The Xperia Z3 is slimmer and smaller but heavier

The Sony Xperia Z3 brings the same omnibalance design Xperia Z products have become known for, but refines it slightly with a more rounded design. The signature side power button is still present and it is still IP65 and IP68 rated so you can drop it in a pint or water or down the toilet without a problem.

There is an aluminium frame with the Xperia Z3, along with nylon corners to protect the device if you drop it and you'll find the same tempered glass flat front and rear.

When it comes to the POMP W99, you'll find an all over plastic casing that looks like brushed aluminium, curved edges and a slightly rounded back. Side-by-side to the Xperia Z3, the LG G3 looks much more oval in terms of shape compared to Sony's rectangular-shaped handset.

The POMP W99 measures 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9mm and weighs 149g while the Sony Xperia Z3 measures 146 x 72 x 7.3mm and hits the scales at 152g so it is a little heavier than the POMP W99 but it is slimmer and fractionally smaller.

Better camera on the Xperia Z3

The camera element of the Sony Xperia Z3 is an area of focus for the Japanese company and just like the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z2, Sony has popped a 20.7-megapixel sensor onto the newest flagship, compared to the POMP W99's 13-megapixel rear snapper offering.

Sony has also upped the ISO sensitivity to 12800, which it claims is a first for a smartphone and it has added a new wider 25mm G Lens. These improvements will help with low light pictures and enable you to get more in the shot respectively so on paper, the Sony should be the winner in terms of camera.

On the front, the Sony Xperia Z3 has a 2.2-megapixel camera compared to the 2.1-megapixel snapper on the POMP W99 but both devices offer a range of clever features including using a hand gesture to take a shot on the POMP W99 and capturing your reaction while taking a photo on the Xperia Z3.

Same processor but Xperia Z3 has more RAM

Sony has opted for a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor along with 3GB of RAM to power the Xperia Z3, while the UK version of the POMP W99 sports the same processor but only 2GB of RAM.

As the processor is the same, it should mean you'll get a similar experience in terms of performance with these two devices but as the Xperia Z3 has a little more RAM to help, it will probably mean that larger, more dutiful tasks will be a little easier for Sony's handset.
