The LG V30 has a lot bigger storage for applications, games, photos and videos than Apple iPhone XS, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal storage, the LG V30 also has a SD memory card expansion slot that admits up to 1,95 TB.
LG V30 features better battery performance than iPhone XS, because it has a 3300mAh battery size. The Apple iPhone XS has just a bit better camera than LG V30, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for low light photography and video, a back facing camera with a lot lower resolution and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, it also counts with a bigger sensor which gives a better photo and video quality.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG V30, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as LG V30. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the iPhone XS, else you can save some dollars and get the LG V30, giving up some features and specifications.
