Sony Xperia X takes a bit better photos and videos than Apple iPhone 7, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture, and they both have the same 1920x1080 video definition, the Sony Xperia X also counts with a back-facing camera with a lot higher resolution, better 60 frames per second video frame rates and a way larger camera sensor taking much better quality photos and videos.
