The iPhone XS counts with a little bit better camera than Google Pixel, because although it has a smaller back-facing camera sensor shooting worse quality pictures, a lower 3840x2160 video definition and a lower 12 megapixels resolution camera, it also counts with a bigger camera aperture for better photography and video in low light situations.
