We decided to put Sony Xperia XZ2's cameras side-by-side with Apple iPhone X's cameras.
Point and shoot camera battle!

Sony Xperia XZ2 arrived with a 19MP f/2.0 coupled with Exmor RS w/ Hybrid AF, SteadyShot, Predictive capture, 5-axis stabilization, Motion Eye, and dual tone LED flash.

While the Apple iPhone X carries 12MP f/1.8 + 12MP f/2.4. with OIS for better stabilization in most lighting conditions. It also has laser AF, PDAF, and quad LED flash.

But still, to see is to believe so here are our camera comparisons!
