IPhone XS takes a bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy S7, because although it has a smaller aperture and a tinier back-facing camera sensor shooting worse quality videos and photos, and they both have a same resolution camera and the same video resolution, the iPhone XS also counts with faster video frame rates.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy S7. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy Galaxy S7, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
