The Galaxy S6 counts with a bit better camera than Google Pixel 2 XL, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is worse for taking pictures or videos in low-light situations, and they both have the same back-facing camera sensor size, the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Galaxy S6 also counts with a much more mega pixels back-facing camera.
