Comparison review
The iPhone XS is a bit better than Google Pixel 4, with a overall score of 84.2 against 81.9. The iPhone XS design is just a little bit thinner than the Google Pixel 4, but it is just a little heavier and was released a little bit over a year before. IPhone XS has just a little better performance than Google Pixel 4, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM and an inferior number of slower cores, it also counts with a 64-bits CPU.
IPhone XS features a little more vivid display than Google Pixel 4, because it has a little better screen density, a bit larger display and a bit higher 1125 x 2436 resolution. The Google Pixel 4 and the Apple iPhone XS feature really similar memory capacity for apps and games, they have the same 64 GB internal memory.
Google Pixel 4 has a little better battery performance than Apple iPhone XS, because it has 2800mAh of battery capacity against 2659mAh. The iPhone XS shoots a bit better videos and photos than Google Pixel 4, although it has a worse (4K) video definition, a lesser mega pixels resolution back-facing camera and a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for taking images and/or video in low light situations, they both have a same size back camera sensor.
Although Apple iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Google Pixel 4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Pixel 4. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Apple iPhone XS, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Google Pixel 4, resigning some features and specs.
