Comparison review
Xperia 1 is a little bit better than the Apple iPhone XR, having an 82.6 score against 82. The Xperia 1 design is a bit thinner and a little bit lighter than the Apple iPhone XR, even though they were released with only 7 months difference. The Apple iPhone XR features a bit better processing power than Xperia 1, because although it has a lower number of cores and also slower and a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64 bits CPU.
Sony Xperia 1 features a much better display than Apple iPhone XR, because although it has way less brightness, it also counts with a lot higher 1644 x 3840px resolution, a lot greater pixel count per inch in the screen and a little bigger display. Sony Xperia 1 counts with a superior memory to install applications and games than iPhone XR, because it has a slot for an SD memory card that admits up to 512 GB and 128 GB internal memory.
Xperia 1 features a little better battery lifetime than Apple iPhone XR, because it has a 13 percent larger battery size. Apple iPhone XR takes a bit better photos and videos than Sony Xperia 1, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for shooting photos and video in low light environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video quality and the same resolution camera, the Apple iPhone XR also counts with a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and higher 60 fps video frame rates.
Although Xperia 1 is a better device, it costs more than the iPhone XR, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as iPhone XR. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can buy iPhone XR, letting go a few features and specifications, but you will get the most out of your money.
