The iPhone XR shoots just a bit better videos and photos than Google Pixel, because although it has a lower 3840x2160 video quality, a lesser megapixels camera and a tinier sensor offering a lower image quality, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better low-light captures and video.
Although Apple iPhone XR is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get the Google Pixel, letting go a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
