Buying advice for Algeria
Both Apple iPhone X and Apple iPhone XR are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Both phones sit in the same price band, so the choice comes down to specs and brand preference.
Apple iPhone XR packs a 2942 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
In the 30,000 to 60,000 DZD bracket, look for 5,000 mAh batteries, 120Hz screens, and at least 6 GB of RAM.
