The Sony Xperia 1 features a very superior camera than Galaxy A70, because although it has lower 24 frames per second video frame rate, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the Sony Xperia 1 also counts with a bigger camera aperture to take better captures and videos in low light situations and a bigger sensor taking better quality pictures.
