Microsoft Surface Duo counts with a display that's very similar to iPhone XR's display, although the Microsoft Surface Duo also has a lot larger display, a just a little higher amount of pixels in each inch of display and a much higher resolution of 1800 x 2700px. The Microsoft Surface Duo has a very superior storage capacity for games and applications than iPhone XR, because it has more internal storage capacity.
The Microsoft Surface Duo has longer battery life than iPhone XR, because it has a 3577mAh battery size. IPhone XR has a much better camera than Microsoft Surface Duo, and although they both have the same video frame rates and the same video definition, the iPhone XR also has a more mega pixels back camera and a larger camera aperture.

So if you need that extra specs, you can buy iPhone XR, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Microsoft Surface Duo, giving up a couple features and specifications.
