Comparison review
The iPhone XR has a score of 82, which is slightly better than Galaxy S6 Active's 80.9 score. The Apple iPhone XR has a bit superior processor than Galaxy S6 Active, although it has an inferior number of cores (although they are faster) and doesn't have an additional graphics processing unit, they both have the same RAM amount and a 64 bits processing unit.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active has a lot better looking display than iPhone XR, because although it has a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a much greater pixels density and a much higher 2560 x 1440 resolution. IPhone XR captures much better photographs and videos than Galaxy S6 Active, because although it has a worse (4K) video definition and a way lower resolution camera in the back, it also counts with a bigger aperture to capture better low light images and videos and a bigger camera sensor which provides a higher image and video quality.
IPhone XR counts with a lot bigger storage capacity to install applications and games than Galaxy S6 Active, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with 64 GB internal memory capacity. Samsung Galaxy S6 Active has a little longer battery duration than Apple iPhone XR, because it has 3500mAh of battery capacity against 2942mAh.
Although iPhone XR is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Galaxy S6 Active, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy S6 Active. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Galaxy S6 Active, letting go a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your money.
