Retuned iPhone XR and Samsung Note 9 Performance Comparison
Due to the hefty price tag of the iPhone XS， many budget-conscious consumers have shifted their attention to the significantly more affordable iPhone XR. However， concerns have been raised regarding the iPhone XR’s performance， primarily due to its limited 3GB of RAM.

Surprisingly， in a recent performance comparison conducted by PhoneBuff， the 3GB RAM iPhone XR initially outperformed the 8GB RAM Samsung Note 9 in the first round of speed testing， which involved launching and manipulating 16 apps and games. The iPhone XR completed this task approximately 15 seconds faster than the Note 9.

However， in the second round of testing， which involved reloading the previously launched apps in reverse order， the Note 9’s superior RAM capacity allowed it to make up almost all of the time lost in the first round.
