Galaxy Note 4 takes a bit better videos and photos than Xperia 1, because although it has a much smaller diafragm aperture which is not favorable for shooting photos and videos in low light environments, and they both have the same back camera sensor size and the same (4K) video definition, the Galaxy Note 4 also counts with better 30 fps video frame rate and a way more mega-pixels back camera.
Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Galaxy Note 4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy Note 4.
