seriously considering buying refurbished xs this december... will it be worth it, I dunno. But it's all I can afford rn.

XS has 4GB of RAM vs 3 on XR. That’s the biggest difference I feel as someone who has both phones. And of course XR is bigger which I don’t like.

One of the reasons I like this smartphone is the fact that it's packed with awesome hardware components, but your might need a power bank to support the battery.
