Both mirrorless cameras have a 16 MP lens versus the 12 MP of Galaxy S8, but the smartphone took the top spot without even questions.
The Verdict
Talking on the camera front, each smartphone actually wins. However, Sony's Xperia XZ has the better rear camera, with its 19MP lens versus the 12MP found on Samsung's Galaxy S8, as well as Galaxy S8+.
