As Apple announced the future of smartphone with the iPhone X, it was inevitable that it would get compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. In a classic Korean marketing move, Samsung even had their launch event for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on the same day when Apple was to unveil its new product lineup. So the 12th September bout has been set. Samsung clearly has an advantage here as you can buy the Note 8 right now in India, as for Apple's iPhone X you'll have to wait till November 3, 2017. So is it wise enough to wait or just go ahead with the Note 8? We give you some food for thought to help you out with that decision. There is no doubt that both these phones represent the best that the smartphone world has to offer presently. They both are not that affordable either and you probably have seen plenty of jokes and memes on the internet about that as well. But let's just say money is not a concern for you, then which one is the better among the two? Find out.
Design and Display
Design and Display
The iPhone X is carved from a combination of glass and stainless steel, it is also a phone that has glass on both the front and the back of the device. The steel frame is for strength and that premium feel. It's an altogether new design line from Apple. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8, on the other hand, is a carry forward design from the Galaxy S8. In fact, the first look will make you feel that it's the Galaxy S8+, until the time you'll see that S Pen. The edges though are much more square than curvy on the Note 8. Apple also says that the iPhone X uses “the most durable glass ever in a smartphone, which one is it? Well, that's more of a mystery for now. The Galaxy Note 8 sports a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and we all know how durable that is. The iPhone X though has a more compact form factor and is just 7.7 mm thick, as compared to Galaxy Note 8 which has an 8.6mm of thickness. The iPhone X also weighs in at 174 grams as compared to 195 grams of the Galaxy Note 8. The compact nature of the iPhone X with an equally big display definitely gives it an edge ahead of the Note 8. The iPhone X is an altogether new iPhone design, whereas Samsung is again getting into that phase of designing similar looking phones across all their price range.
