The Xperia XZ1 counts with a little better performance than Galaxy A11, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Xperia XZ1 also has a higher amount of RAM memory. Xperia XZ1 takes much clearer photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy A11, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not recommended for capturing images and/or video in low light environments, it also counts with a way higher 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a way better resolution camera in the back.
