The Lumia 950 has just a bit better camera than iPhone XS, because although it has slower video frame rate and a smaller aperture which is not nice for low light photography, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution, the Lumia 950 also counts with a way better resolution back facing camera and a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing better quality videos and photographs.
