Comparison review
IPhone XR has a score of 82, which is just a bit better than the Sony Xperia Z5's 77.6 general score. IPhone XR is a notably newer cellphone than the Sony Xperia Z5, but it's thicker and way heavier. IPhone XR counts with a bit better hardware performance than Sony Xperia Z5, because although it has 2 less processing cores (but faster) and doesn't have an extra graphics processor, and they both have a 3 GB RAM memory, the iPhone XR also counts with a 64-bit processing unit.
Sony Xperia Z5 features a better looking screen than Apple iPhone XR, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a little higher resolution of 1920 x 1080 and more pixels per inch in the screen. Xperia Z5 counts with a greater storage capacity for games and applications than iPhone XR, because although it has less internal memory capacity, it also counts with a SD memory card expansion slot that holds a maximum of 200 GB.
The Xperia Z5 counts with a slightly better camera than Apple iPhone XR, because although it has slower 30 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same video resolution and a same size diafragm aperture, the Xperia Z5 also counts with a larger sensor which provides a better photo and video quality and a camera in the back with much more MP.
The Apple iPhone XR features a bit longer battery lifetime than Xperia Z5, because it has a 1% larger battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone XR is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xperia Z5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Xperia Z5. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy Xperia Z5, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
