Sony Xperia X captures clearer photos and videos than Galaxy S21 FE, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for low light photos and videos, and they both have the same 1920x1080 video quality and the same video frame rates, the Sony Xperia X also counts with a much better 23 megapixels resolution back-facing camera.
