Samsung Galaxy S9 vs iPhone X Quick Look

2018-03-07
hey it's Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody and we have a bit of a different one for you here we thought about taking a look at the galaxy s 9 and putting up against while one of its main competitors and has been a while since we featured an iPhone on Android authority of course but we thought this would be a good time to take a look at the iPhone 10 and maybe expound on what Samsung might be doing in the future after all the next one is going to be the S 10 but there are a couple of different takes on a number of different aspects of a smartphone when you take a look at these two side-by-side we're using the samsung galaxy s 9 plus in this case because it has the most features compared to the iPhone 10 which is a little bit smaller but still packs as much as possible in terms of design the iPhone 10 did have to go a little bit more radical for its anniversary device and we expect that Samsung will probably do the same thing but you could let us know what you think about that in the comments down below the iPhone 10 is a radical difference from the arrests of the iPhone line especially since the iPhone 6 with its metal design this one is glass on glass and it does have a different look not only for the lack of a home button up front but also for the dual camera on the back now speaking of the lack of a home button you don't really have any buttons at all on the iPhone 10 everything is done via swipes from either below the screen or from above the screen to get to the control center and then of course if we're gonna talk about the top of the screen then of course there is the notch let us know what you think about the notch and the comments down below obviously everyone has differing opinions on it but the one thing we will mention here is that even if Samsung is using a large screen the infinity display with soft keys on there at least there's nothing impeding the full screen experience on the iPhone 10 even what games like Tekken like I'm playing right here on either phone the knotch actually cuts into the content a little bit which might be a bit annoying to some people but on the other end of the spectrum the Samsung Galaxy S 9 probably had to be at least familiar to any users who have been using their phones in the last couple of years that way they would be able to rekindle or rather recapture the user base that they have had ever since the Samsung Galaxy s6 era you of course have iOS which requires very different specifications when compared to Android it's the Android device that will seem much more powerful because of its high levels of RAM its snapdragon 845 especially in the case of the samsung galaxy s 9 and from there you have high amounts of storage and expandable memory for example things that the iPhone 10 generally does not have and there are people that have said historically that space tends to be an issue when it comes to their iOS devices you have the camera and on the back of the iPhone 10 there is a dual end setup with one of them being a telephoto lens this is obviously a trend that was followed by Android a little bit later on and the galaxy s 9 plus follows suit it also has a telephoto lens but we have to say that the s 9 is trying to move forward in the camera game by bringing some hardware physical features to the smartphone lens no matter which s 9 you get the main camera not the telephoto lens that is only found on the s 9 plus has a dual aperture that allows for more light to flood in when using at F 1.5 and then you are able to get a much wider field of focus when you use the F 2.4 aperture and you can set that in the camera app the galaxy s 9 does boast the 4k 60 frame per second capture that also translates to 960 frames per second capture for super slo-mo on the other hand the iPhone 10 tends to have less Pro controls but you can always download an app for that but inside of the camera application the built-in one you are able to get some pretty good shots from there with all of the settings pretty much put on Auto there are a number of different modes that you can select like slo-mo panorama even a square mode if you're an instagramer and from there you'll be able to get some pretty nice photos using either the back or the front camera but the front camera of the iPhone 10 does allow for a specific portrait mode that gives you different lighting options it also tracks your face using a different camera array which is used for things like face ID face ID is a little bit different when compared to the intelligent scan of the samsung galaxy s 9 which uses a combination of the iris scanner and also face unlock in order to provide a seamless experience no matter what you're doing as long as you're looking at your phone when waking it up but now we can get into one of the main differences between the two and it just has to do with how much fun you can have with it different kinds of emojis the iPhone 10 brings an emojis and you can say that it was the first one to think up of this idea because you have these little characters that you access by going to some sort of messaging application it's not built into the camera and you just move your head around and the same technology that gives you face ID allows you to have basically one-to-one movement with the character including your mouth your eyes and your voice because you can record a message as one of these little characters take for what you will you might have your own opinion when it comes to an emoji but Samsung has gone ahead and made their version of one called a our emojis a are emojis basically lets you take a picture of your face and it will use recognition to create an avatar of sorts for you it's more of a caricature than a completely accurate depiction of you but you can also do the same thing there but you can customize it to your liking put some different clothing on there even change the color of various elements and you can turn on your AR emoji when using the front-facing camera so you can record your own videos with it with one-to-one recognition it might seem a little bit buggy at first we're sure that this is going to get improved in the future but it's another fun way of showing off a digital version of yourself it even saves eighteen predetermined gifts that use your avatar to convey a number of different emotions and finally the Battle of assistance you have Bigsby on the samsung galaxy s nine which has been getting a lot of updates which allows it to do more than just be a voice assistant which in a way is what Siri is Siri is just available on the iPhone 10 and it allows you to use your voice and to talk to the phone in order to get a number of tasks done however Bixby tries to take that a step further with Bigsby vision and a number of other functions Bixby vision in particular does tried to find items in a sort of reversed image search fashion in order to tell you where you can maybe shop for stuff or it might be able to tell you what kind of food is right in front of you there are a number of enhancements in Bixby and no matter what your opinion is on there it is trying to be an all-around assistance so throughout this video you've heard me say that you should sound off in the comments down below about where these two phones kind of sit in the mobile tech space we definitely want to hear from you about how you feel about these two devices whether or not the Galaxy S nine is being more reactive to the things that the iPhone 10 introduced or maybe they are just two separate devices that are trying to do very similar things but it remains that you probably have your opinion about either of these devices and you know which one you're going to get if you happen to be on the fence though you can have that dialogue with us in the comments and we'll see what we might be able to provide in a future comparison where we put these two phones head-to-head especially when it comes to their cameras so that was just a quick look at these two devices we will do a more full Harrison later on you can find that either here on the channel or on Android or e-comm you can argue that these are the two hottest devices out there right now and of course we're going to see what the future updates will show us from these two companies the iPhone 10 was obviously a radical change and the s10 from Samsung is probably gonna have some sort of radical change as well after all that's apparently what Tennant years does to a company in any case you can keep it into Android 34 more about these two phones and more about the Galaxy S 9 in particular and you can head over to Android 30.com for all of that great coverage don't forget to subscribe to this channel if you haven't already so you can keep up with all of that and on social media as well so stick around because we are your source for all things Android
