Google has long chosen cheaper, lower-quality camera sensors, knowing that their still image processing is beyond what Apple has on offer and will make up for any deficiencies. Apple tends to go for more expensive, higher-quality camera sensors and less software processing, and that is more clearly visible when shooting video, where image processing requires more processing power than what a phone is currently capable of.
