Comparison review
IPhone XS has a general score of 84.2, which is a little bit better than Sony Xperia 1's 82.6 general score. Even when the iPhone XS and Sony Xperia 1 were released with only 8 months difference, the iPhone XS is a bit thinner and a little bit lighter. The Xperia 1 features a little sharper screen than Apple iPhone XS, because although it has much worse brightness, it also counts with a higher screen density, a little bit bigger display and a lot better 1644 x 3840 resolution.
The Xperia 1 features a much bigger memory for games and applications than Apple iPhone XS, because it has a SD extension slot that admits up to 512 GB and 128 GB internal memory capacity. IPhone XS counts with a bit more powerful processor than Xperia 1, because although it has an inferior number of slower cores and a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a 64-bit CPU.
The iPhone XS features just a bit better camera than Sony Xperia 1, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is worse for capturing images and videos in low-light situations, and they both have a back facing camera with a 12 megapixels resolution and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the iPhone XS also counts with higher 60 fps video frame rate and a larger sensor taking better quality videos and pictures.
Xperia 1 features greater battery performance than iPhone XS, because it has a 25 percent larger battery size.
The Apple iPhone XS costs a little more money than the Sony Xperia 1, but it's still a good choice, because you can get a lot more for that extra money.
