The iPhone XR counts with a bit more powerful processing unit than Galaxy S10, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and a lower number of cores and slower, it also counts with a 64-bits CPU. Samsung Galaxy S10 has a superior storage to store more games and applications than Apple iPhone XR, because it has more internal memory and a SD memory slot that admits a maximum of 512 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 shoots a bit better photos and videos than Apple iPhone XR, and although they both have the same sensor size, the same 60 frames per second video frame rates, the same (4K) video definition and a 12 megapixels back facing camera, the Samsung Galaxy S10 also has a larger diafragm aperture for better photography and videos in low-light environments.
