Although iPhone XS is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy J7 Star. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the iPhone XS, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, letting go some specs and features.
