Moto Z4 shoots much better pictures and videos than Xperia XZ, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Moto Z4 also has a bigger back-facing camera sensor which provides a better photo and video quality, a back-facing camera with a way higher 48 MP resolution and a bigger camera aperture to capture better photography in low-light environments.
