It has to do with "Pixel-binning"

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/24/sony-xperia-z1-review/

Importantly, the Z1 shares a key technology with the Lumia 1020 in the form of downsampling. Whereas the Lumia creates downsampled 5-megapixel still images from its 41MP sensor, the Z1 uses similar mathematical techniques to produce 8MP stills from a 20MP image. And although the sampling ratio is smaller, the impact of Sony's "pixel-binning" is immediately visible and beneficial. You lose resolution on your final image, of course, but you also lose lots of nasty image noise.

@memexz you are missing the point, the pixel count its only part of a great picture, it doesn't mean much
