Both of them have 8 cpu cores and a 4 GB RAM memory.

The Xperia XZ1 features a slightly better camera than Huawei Mate 10, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not so good for low-light images and videos, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, the Xperia XZ1 also counts with a camera with much more MP and a way larger sensor providing a way higher image quality.
The Xperia XZ1 counts with a superior memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Huawei Mate 10, and although they both have equal internal memory, the Xperia XZ1 also has an external memory card slot that admits up to 1,95 TB.
