Sony Xperia XZs shoots greater videos and photos than Galaxy A21, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is worse for shooting pictures in poorly lited situations, it also counts with a much larger sensor providing a much higher image quality, a lot higher video resolution and a better 19 mega pixels resolution back-facing camera.
