When it comes to physical design, the LG V20 is the tallest, slimmest and widest, followed by the Sony Xperia XZ and then by the Google Pixel smartphone. The LG V20 model is denser than the Xperia model followed by Google's own smartphone as per NDTV Gadgets.
The LG V20 model has the largest screen among the three with Sony's smartphone occupying the second place. Both the Google Pixel and Xperia XZ smartphones have similar screen resolutions but lesser than what we have on the LG smartphone.
From a processor perspective, the Xperia XZ makes use of Quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 whereas the LG V20 is powered by 1.6 GHz Quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and the Google Pixel is powered by 1.6 GHz Quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 .

However, Sony Xperia XZ has twice the internal storage as both the V20 and the Pixel smartphones. When it comes to expandable storage option, higher capacity is possible with the LG V20 compared to Sony Xperia smartphone. The Google Pixel does not support expandable storage option.
