The headline is inaccurate, the comparison is for the note 9 which has a higher resolution than the max.

They didn’t test it at that higher resolution though, they left it at the 1080p resolution instead. But what they are saying is that the iPhone xs max is a better phone.

But, You have a smaller capacity battery with higher resolution screen. They have to include this compensation in the calculations!!!!
