Xperia 5 II has a little bit better camera than Google Pixel, because although it has a back-facing camera with a lower 12 megapixels resolution and a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, it also counts with a larger diafragm aperture to capture better low-light images and video and a lot larger camera sensor.
