Comparison review
IPhone XS has a score of 84.2, which is slightly better than the Google Pixel 3a XL's 78.9 overall score. IPhone XS's design is just a little bit heavier but just a bit thinner than the Google Pixel 3a XL, and both were only released with a few months difference. Apple iPhone XS counts with a more vivid screen than Google Pixel 3a XL, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher 1125 x 2436 resolution and a just a little higher pixels density.
IPhone XS and Google Pixel 3a XL both feature really similar storage capacity for games and applications, both have equal 64 GB internal storage. Apple iPhone XS features a faster processor than Google Pixel 3a XL, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although they are faster), and they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Apple iPhone XS also counts with a 64-bits processor.
IPhone XS has a little bit better camera than Google Pixel 3a XL, although it has a back-facing camera with a lower resolution and a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, they both have a F1.8 diafragm aperture and a same size sensor. Google Pixel 3a XL features a really longer battery performance than Apple iPhone XS, because it has a 3700mAh battery size.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Google Pixel 3a XL, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Google Pixel 3a XL. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the iPhone XS, otherwise you can save some money and get the Google Pixel 3a XL, giving up a couple specs and features.
