What CompareTab says about ROG Phone 9 vs Apple iPhone XR
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 $251 cheaper, lighter at 194 g versus 227 g, and thinner at 8.3 mm versus 8.9 mm. The main trade-off is Phone 9’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone XR’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
