What CompareTab says about Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus vs Apple iPhone XR
Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over iPhone XR, with 8 GB of RAM versus 3 GB, 128 GB of storage versus 64 GB, a 4800 mAh battery versus 2942 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds an ultrawide rear camera, a telephoto rear camera, and 25W charging. Apple iPhone XR, however, is around $250 cheaper. The main trade-off is Galaxy S21 Plus’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone XR’s lower price.
