iPhone 11 Vs iPhone XS

iPhone XS vs iPhone 11: which one is better?

When comparing the refurbished iPhone 11 vs XS, it’s important to note that these are two very different devices. Yes, the iPhone 11 was released a year after the iPhone XS and therefore has a faster chip, but there’s a lot more to this comparison than just that. The iPhone 11 also has an impressive Night mode for taking photos at night without a flash—if you look at any tests, you’ll see just how impressive it is when compared to the night photos taken by older iPhones.

iPhone XS size vs iPhone 11 size

Size of iPhone XS:

• Screen: 5.8 inches
• Height: 143.6 mm
• Width: 70.9 mm
• Depth: 7.7 mm
• Weight: 177 grams

Size of iPhone 11:

• Screen: 6.1 inches
• Height: 150.9 mm
• Width: 71.4 mm
• Depth: 8.1 mm
• Weight: 188 grams

The iPhone XS screen size might be smaller than the iPhone 11, but some may prefer this. A smaller phone is much easier to grip when you’re pulling it out of your pocket or bag, and it’s also easier to use one-handed. This may just be my personal preference, but I prefer a thinner phone, and the XS is noticeably thinner. 

iPhone XS battery mAh < iPhone 11 battery mAh 

The iPhone XS has a battery capacity of 2,658 mAh, smaller than the iPhone 11's 3,110 mAh.

However, if you work in an office or other environment where you always have a phone charger close by, you won’t need to worry about the battery life of your iPhone XS. It’s more than enough for most people’s needs.

iPhone XS vs iPhone 11: just when you thought that the iPhone 11 was a better phone...

On paper, when you look at the iPhone XS vs iPhone 11, it may look like the 11 is superior in almost every way, but despite the iPhone 11 having many technical advantages, the XS is still a better phone in many ways.

The iPhone XS also has a slightly more vibrant display than the iPhone 11 thanks to OLED screen technology and feels like it has a slightly more premium build quality. When it comes to choosing between the iPhone XS vs 11, you need to ask yourself if you want a phone that feels better in the hand at the cost of battery life and screen size.
