The Apple iPhone XR captures clearer photographs and videos than Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has a lot less megapixels camera in the back and a worse 3840x2160 video resolution, it also counts with a larger diafragm aperture for better low-light photography and video and a bigger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ has a battery lifetime that is just as good as Apple iPhone XR's battery lifetime, although the Galaxy S6 edge+ also has a 2% greater battery capacity.
