What CompareTab says about SamsungGalaxy S23 Plus vs Apple iPhone XR
SamsungGalaxy S23 Plus has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over iPhone XR, with 8 GB of RAM versus 3 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 64 GB, a 4700 mAh battery versus 2942 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 12 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (12 MP versus 7 MP), an ultrawide rear camera, and 45W charging. Apple iPhone XR, however, is around $250 cheaper. The main trade-off is S23 Plus’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone XR’s lower price.
