Here’s a brief comparison of the three smartphones that can help you choose what’s best for your needs.

The iPhone XR is powered by the A12 Bionic chipset and 3GB RAM. The processor makes the iOS fluid to operate.

The Kirin 970 processor powers the Huawei Nova 4. The phone has 8GB RAM and 128GB storage space. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie with GPU Turbo for an enhanced mobile gaming experience.  

The Samsung Galaxy A8s is a classy and solid midrange phone with a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB or 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage.

The iPhone XR is available in red, blue, yellow, coral, black, and white. The edges around the phone are aluminum, but the color is metallic. The phone has a notch. There’s no home button, and the screen is edge-to-edge. The XR has a large 6.1-inch LCD screen. The Liquid Retina Display has a 1792 × 828 resolution.

The Huawei Nova 4 is available in blue, pearl white, black, and honey red. Its glass body measures 0.3 inches thick and weighs 6 ounces. The phone has a 2310 × 1080 resolution, and the screen houses the punch-hole selfie camera at the top-left corner.

Camera Specifications

The iPhone XR has a 12-megapixel lens, f/1.8 aperture, and optical image stabilization. It can record 4K videos at 60 fps and stereo sound. It is also equipped with a Smart HDR, which enables the use of the portrait mode without the need for a secondary lens.
