Buying yourself a new smartphone can be difficult if you’re not sure what to look for. With the new releases from Apple and Samsung in the past week, it’s important to figure out what kind of phone you prefer so you can get the most value for your money.

When it comes to getting a new phone, it’s best to get into the details of what kind of phone you need. Are you looking for functionality over design? What kind of phone fits best for your lifestyle? What is your budget? Asking yourself the right questions before purchase makes it easier to choose between phones.

Samsung Galaxy S10 vs. iPhone XR

After Samsung has released its flagship phone, the Samsung Galaxy S10, users and non-users alike were intrigued with its new features . Boasting a 6.10-inch display and an HDR10+ certification, the Samsung Galaxy S10 offers a high-resolution OLED display. With around 1,200 nits of sunlight, using the phone in direct sunlight won’t be a problem. Its screen takes up most of the display, giving it the full-screen experience with a camera cutout instead of a notch.

The iPhone XR has a liquid retina display, claimed by Apple as the most colour accurate LCD display in the market. It has the largest LCD display ever made by Apple on the iPhone. The phone also has the ‘Tap to Wake' functionality and True Tone adjustments for outdoor use.

Now let's see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone XR:

Price range

The iPhone XR is budget-friendly compared to the Samsung S10, considering that the iPhone XR is Apple’s entry-level flagship phone. It has similar features as the iPhone X but for a friendlier price. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is priced at around $1,350.

Security and accessibility

The iPhone XR has the Face ID function, detecting a person’s face upon login and separating the user’s face on the background. The Samsung Galaxy S10 has an ultrasonicfingerprint scanner that can be unlocked faster.

Processing and memory

With the Apple A12 Bionic processor, the iPhone XR starts with the 8GB model up to the 12GB model. It requires more memory for the RAM which puts the Samsung Galaxy S10 at an advantage. The Samsung Galaxy S10 still offers a microSD card to extend the phone’s memory which isn’t found in Apple phones.

The final verdict

When it comes down to it, it's all about what benefits you the most. Both phones are impressive in their features, what with the Samsung's extensive memory and Apple's budget-friendly price. Consider what works best for your lifestyle and what phone suits your taste the most. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly device that doesn’t sacrifice functionality and design, the iPhone XR is for you.
