The LG V10 shoots slightly better videos and photos than Xperia Z5 Premium, although it has a smaller back camera sensor which gives a worse image and video quality, a camera in the back with way less mega-pixels resolution and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, they both have the same aperture.
Although Xperia Z5 Premium is a better device, it is way more expensive than LG V10, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG V10. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Xperia Z5 Premium, else you can save some money and get the LG V10, letting go a couple specs and features.
