The Apple iPhone XR takes a bit better photographs and videos than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a tinier aperture and a smaller back camera sensor taking lower quality videos and photographs, and they both have a same resolution back facing camera and the same video definition, the Apple iPhone XR also counts with higher 60 fps video frame rate.
Although Apple iPhone XR is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and give up a few features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your money.
