The Xperia XZs features a much better camera than Xiaomi Mi MIX, and although they both have the same diafragm aperture and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Xperia XZs also has a much larger back-facing camera sensor which provides a way better image and video quality, faster 960 frames per second video frame rate and a camera with more megapixels.
