Huawei nova 5T counts with greater battery lifetime than iPhone XR, because it has 3750mAh of battery capacity. The Huawei nova 5T takes much clearer photos and videos than Apple iPhone XR, because although it has worse 30 frames per second video frame rates, and they both have the same video quality and a F1.8 diafragm aperture, the Huawei nova 5T also counts with a much larger back-facing camera sensor which gives a way higher image and video quality and a lot more MP camera in the back.
Although iPhone XR is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Huawei nova 5T, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Huawei nova 5T. If you want to save some dollars, you can buy Huawei nova 5T, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
