The iPhone XS Max is a way older and a bit heavier phone than the ZTE Axon 20, but Apple could make it just a bit thinner anyway.

Although iPhone XS Max is a better device, it costs a lot more than the ZTE Axon 20, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the ZTE Axon 20. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy iPhone XS Max, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the ZTE Axon 20, resigning a couple features and specifications.
