The iPhone XS takes a bit better photos and videos than Moto Z3, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same resolution back facing camera, the iPhone XS also has a bigger aperture for better images and video in low light environments, higher 60 fps video frame rates and a bigger sensor which gives a better image and video quality.
