Google Nexus 6P takes clearer photographs and videos than Google Pixel 3 XL, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not favorable for shooting images in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same video resolution, the Google Nexus 6P also counts with a bigger camera sensor providing a higher image quality and a more megapixels camera in the back.
