The Apple iPhone XR is a newer device than the Xperia XZ1, although it is heavier and somewhat thicker. The iPhone XR counts with a bit superior processor than Sony Xperia XZ1, because although it has a lower number of cores (although faster) and a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a 64 bits CPU.
IPhone XR has a screen that is just as good as the display in Sony Xperia XZ1, because although the iPhone XR has a bit worse 828 x 1792 resolution and a just a bit worse quantity of pixels per display inch, it also counts with a bigger screen. The Xperia XZ1 counts with a little bit better camera than iPhone XR, because although it has a tinier aperture which is worse for low light photos and video and lower 30 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution, the Xperia XZ1 also counts with a larger sensor taking better quality videos and photos and a much higher 19 megapixels resolution camera in the back.
The Sony Xperia XZ1 features a much greater memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than iPhone XR, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal storage, the Sony Xperia XZ1 also has a slot for external memory cards that supports up to 1,95 TB. The Apple iPhone XR features a bit better battery performance than Xperia XZ1, because it has 2942mAh of battery capacity.
