Comparison review
The iPhone XS is a little bit better than the Huawei P20 Pro, with a global score of 84.2 against 81.4. Even when the iPhone XS and the Huawei P20 Pro were released with only a few months difference, the iPhone XS is a little bit thinner and a little lighter. The iPhone XS features a little better hardware performance than Huawei P20 Pro, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and 2 lesser processing cores (although faster), it also counts with a 64 bits CPU.
Apple iPhone XS has a bit better screen than Huawei P20 Pro, because although it has a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels and a just a little greater display density. The Huawei P20 Pro has a superior camera than Apple iPhone XS, because although it has worse video frame rate, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and a F1.8 camera aperture, the Huawei P20 Pro also counts with a way more mega-pixels camera and a much bigger camera sensor which offers a way higher image and video quality.
The Huawei P20 Pro features a much better memory capacity to store more games and applications than Apple iPhone XS, because it has 128 GB internal storage capacity. The Huawei P20 Pro counts with a really longer battery duration than Apple iPhone XS, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity against 2659mAh.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Huawei P20 Pro, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Huawei P20 Pro. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Huawei P20 Pro, and give up a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your money.
