IPhone XR features a much better camera than Microsoft Surface Duo, and although they both have the same 60 frames per second video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the iPhone XR also has a bigger diafragm aperture for better captures and video in low-light environments and a higher resolution back-facing camera.
