Xperia XZ counts with a bit better camera than LG V30, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not recommended for capturing pictures and videos in low-light environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the Xperia XZ also counts with a back facing camera with lot more mega pixels and a way larger sensor taking much higher quality videos and photographs.
