The iPhone XS has a little sharper display than LG V50 ThinQ, although it has a little bit smaller display, a lot lower resolution of 1125 x 2436px and a quite worse number of pixels per display inch. LG V50 ThinQ has a way bigger memory capacity to install games and applications than iPhone XS, because it has a slot for an SD memory card that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB and 128 GB internal memory.
The LG V50 ThinQ shoots clearer photos and videos than iPhone XS, because although it has a tinier back-facing camera sensor capturing worse quality images and videos, and they both have the same 60 fps video frame rate, a back camera with a 12 mega pixels resolution and the same video resolution, the LG V50 ThinQ also counts with a bigger camera aperture to capture better low-light photography and videos.
LG V50 ThinQ counts with a much longer battery performance than Apple iPhone XS, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2659mAh.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than LG V50 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the LG V50 ThinQ. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the iPhone XS, else you can save some dollars and get the LG V50 ThinQ, letting go a couple specs and features.
