The Xperia Z5 features a bit better camera than Huawei Mate 10, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not nice for low-light images and videos, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same video definition, the Xperia Z5 also counts with a much more megapixels back-facing camera and a way larger sensor providing a way better image quality.
