Comparison review
The Apple iPhone XR has a global score of 82, which is a bit better than the Xperia XZ1's 78.3 overall score. The Apple iPhone XR is a newer phone than Xperia XZ1, but it's somewhat thicker and heavier. The iPhone XR has a bit better processing unit than Xperia XZ1, because although it has a lower amount of RAM and an inferior number of cores (although faster), it also counts with a 64-bit processing unit.
Xperia XZ1 and iPhone XR both have very similar displays, because although the Xperia XZ1 has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a quite better resolution of 1080 x 1920px and more pixels per inch in the screen. The Sony Xperia XZ1 counts with a very superior memory capacity to install applications and games than Apple iPhone XR, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal memory, the Sony Xperia XZ1 also has a slot for an SD memory card that admits up to 1,95 TB.
Apple iPhone XR has just a little better battery life than Sony Xperia XZ1, because it has 2942mAh of battery capacity instead of 2700mAh. Sony Xperia XZ1 captures slightly better videos and photos than iPhone XR, because although it has lower video frame rate and a smaller aperture which is not recommended for capturing pictures and videos in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Sony Xperia XZ1 also counts with a bigger sensor providing a better image quality and a lot more mega pixels back facing camera.
Apple iPhone XR costs a bit more money than the Xperia XZ1, but it's still a great deal, because you can get a much better phone for that extra money.
