Comparison review
The iPhone XS has a score of 84.2, which is slightly better than LG V50 ThinQ's overall score of 83.7. Even when the iPhone XS and the LG V50 ThinQ were released only 8 months apart, the iPhone XS is just a little thinner and just a bit lighter. IPhone XS has a little sharper display than LG V50 ThinQ, although it has a little bit worse pixel density, a lot worse resolution of 1125 x 2436px and a little smaller screen.
IPhone XS counts with a bit better processing unit than LG V50 ThinQ, because although it has 2 GB less RAM and an inferior number of slower cores, it also counts with a 64-bit processing unit. The LG V50 ThinQ counts with a bit better camera than Apple iPhone XS, because although it has a tinier sensor capturing less light and washed colors, and they both have the same 60 fps video frame rates, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and a 12 megapixels resolution camera in the back, the LG V50 ThinQ also counts with a bigger aperture to capture better low light images and video.
The LG V50 ThinQ counts with a superior memory capacity to store more apps and games than iPhone XS, because it has a SD extension slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB and more internal memory capacity. LG V50 ThinQ has a much longer battery duration than iPhone XS, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity against 2659mAh.
Although Apple iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more than the LG V50 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG V50 ThinQ. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Apple iPhone XS, otherwise you can save some money and buy the LG V50 ThinQ, giving up some features and specs.
