What CompareTab says about ASUS ROG Phone 9 vs Apple iPhone XR
ASUS ROG Phone 9 has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over iPhone XR, with 12 GB of RAM versus 3 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 64 GB, a 5800 mAh battery versus 2942 mAh, and a 185 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 12 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 7 MP), an ultrawide rear camera, and 65W charging. Apple iPhone XR, however, is around $250 cheaper, lighter at 194 g versus 227 g, and thinner at 8.3 mm versus 8.9 mm. The choice comes down to ROG Phone 9’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone XR’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
