Which has better camera quality iPhone X or XS?

If you're looking at the camera specs on paper, you might not immediately notice the difference between iPhone X and iPhone XS. But don't be mistaken; the differences are significant. And while iPhone X can take some incredible pictures, the camera on iPhone XS is the clear winner.

Is iPhone X better than Xs or XR?

If you want the biggest, most visually striking display, choose the XS Max. If you want the best camera with the most photo and video features, upgrade to the XS or XS Max. If you want more battery life, choose the XR or XS Max. The XS also has more battery life than the X but only by half an hour.
