The Huawei nova 5T counts with a much better camera than Google Pixel, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the Huawei nova 5T also has a larger sensor shooting higher quality videos and photographs, a larger aperture to take better low-light captures and videos and a camera with much more MP.
