Comparison review
The iPhone XR has an overall score of 82, which is slightly better than the Galaxy Note 5's 79.3 global score. Even though the iPhone XR is much newer than the Galaxy Note 5, it is heavier and just a bit thicker. Galaxy Note 5 counts with a much better looking screen than Apple iPhone XR, because although it has a bit smaller display, it also counts with a way better resolution of 2560 x 1440px and much more pixels per display inch.
The iPhone XR features a much faster CPU than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a 64-bits CPU and a higher number of cores (and also faster). The iPhone XR takes a little bit better videos and photos than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a lot lower resolution camera in the back, it also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture for better captures and videos in low light environments and a bigger sensor providing a higher image quality.
The Apple iPhone XR and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 feature really similar storage for games and applications, both of them have exactly the same internal memory. The Apple iPhone XR counts with a battery lifetime that's just as good as the battery life in Galaxy Note 5, although the Apple iPhone XR has 2942mAh of battery capacity.
Although iPhone XR is a better device, it costs a lot more than Galaxy Note 5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy Note 5. If you want to save some dollars, you can get the Galaxy Note 5, letting go a few specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
