Xperia Z3 has a bit better camera than LG G6, because although it has a smaller aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Xperia Z3 also counts with a back camera with a way better resolution and a lot larger back-facing camera sensor capturing lot higher quality videos and photos.
