Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus vs Apple iPhone X!

2018-03-13
now last year I thought the Galaxy s8 was a better looking phone in the iPhone 10 and as you're well aware the Galaxy S 9 looks nearly identical so in that case it still holds true here don't get me wrong the iPhone 10 is a beautiful phone with aluminum sides the L glass back particularly in silver but in terms of a complete package I still lean in this case towards the s9 plus now what would a massive comparison be without a giveaway so your choice the galaxy s 9 plus or iPhone 10 wrapped in your D brand skin a choice for details on how to win make sure you guys hit the link below now as similar as both these phones can be their flagship smartphones priced pretty equally they have dual cameras super tall beautiful displays they both seem to go down two separate paths the galaxy s 9 plus is definitely a more practical phone where's with the iPhone 10 you definitely sacrifice a lot right off the bat like I've talked about the galaxy s 9 plus has a headphone jack and that is a super rare thing these days you tend to lean towards wireless headphones that it might not be a huge deal but if you love those wired headphones the galaxy s 9 plus is unless you use those was that a stupid dongle or adapter on top of that you also get expandable storage via microSD with the Galaxy S 9 plus in this case it is officially supported up to 400 gigabytes which is kind of a big deal I tend to lean towards the cloud lifestyle whether it be Spotify or Dropbox so expandable storage has never been really a huge thing for me but if you take it out of photos video or you want to start losses music there's one huge advantage with the s 9 plus next let's go to talk about displays they're both beautiful but in this case the galaxy s 9 plus features a bigger and higher resolution screen that size isn't at 6.2 inches with an aspect ratio of eighteen and a half by nine the affluent an is 5.8 inches in a classic Apple fashion they're doing things just a little bit different with an aspect ratio of nineteen and a half by nine now the iPhone 10 is a really really good looking display but there is something about the Samsung displays that is just the colors to contrast the saturation in this case the size of galaxy s 9 plus just make it an overall more enjoyable experience over the iPhone 10 there's something about it where you look at it the image just kind of looks like it pops off the screen to the point where it almost doesn't look real now because Apple is opted to go with no fingerprint reader and face ID as your main form of security in the iPhone that leads to two things one is no home button and two is that not the galaxy s 9 plus on the other hand again follows that trend of being the more practical phone you have way more options there's face unlock which it is worth noting that that is the least secure option you have iris unlock then you have a combination of both of those where it uses your face and your eyes and then of course the main former security on the galaxy s 9 plus is going to be the fingerprint reader which is now in a much better location right smack underneath the cameras now in terms of unlocking your phone with your face the iPhone 10 to face idea is going to be the more secure option but honestly that is because it is your only option works with the galaxy s 9 plus that is more of a complementary feature to the fingerprint reader I've used the iPhone 10 a ton face ID for the most part works really well there are certain times where I still miss having that actual fingerprint reader so again having both options on the galaxy s 9 plus is definitely a good thing now because of those design choices that completely changes how you use these phones the iPhone 10 has absolutely no home button so it is a completely different way of doing things if you're browsing the web for example you want to go back home on a phone 10 you simply swipe up if you want a multitask you're not pressing a button rather you are dragging and sliding to the right it's different but once you get used to it it's definitely super fast and intuitive there definitely are some dumb things though with the iPhone 10 and the lack of home button specifically trying to access control center to get to that get to swipe down from the top right hand corner which so this day still is it a smooth process for me the galaxy s 9 plus on the other hand features a home button underneath their infinity display and I do a really good job of hiding it when you don't need it and bringing it back when you do I'm not gonna say that one is significantly better than the other they are just different if you use the iPhone 10 for a while you're gonna get used to that and going back to a home button it's gonna feel really awkward and conversely if you use the galaxy s 9 and you like the home button you like that way of navigating that is going to feel more comfortable now one key difference when you stack the galaxy s 8 side by side against the iPhone 10 was the iPhone 10 has stereo speakers whereas the galaxy s 8 did not that though is one of the new features on the galaxy s 9 stereo speakers so what kind of levels the playing field so to speak but honestly after stacking these two side-by-side I think the galaxy s 9 Plus does the job just a little bit better this is a short film by my buddy coop who is amazingly talented but it's gonna give us a taste of music dialogue sound effects and if you have headphones throw em on now for the best listening experience Wilbert yeah you know I pulled you over today sir yeah weapons in the car anything illegal on you so they're close they're both loud they're both extremely clear there's just something a little bit fuller on the galaxy s nine plus that I seem to prefer it is worth noting that there is dolby atmos support with the s9 plus this year so I think that's the magic saw that kind of takes things over the top now one big upgrade of the galaxy s 9 at least internally and in the u.s. is going to be the snapdragon 845 processor it's gonna leave a better performance better battery efficiency 9 60 FPS slow-motion video which I'll talk about shortly but it still shows us two things one how fast the iPhone 10 is in - how far ahead Apple is in terms of smartphone processors my good buddy Osthe Evans also dropped the comparison of the iPhone 10 versus the galaxy s 9 plus so if you want to see a different perspective I'll drop a link down below but the one thing Austin does love is benchmarks so I crashed a studio there the numbers the Geekbench has been very thorough here iPhone wow it's pretty fast there definitely is performance improvements with the galaxy s 9 over the s8 but again when you stack everything side-by-side that's kind of where you got to give Apple a little bit of credit I do want to say though don't let benchmarks kind of hinder or ruin your thoughts or view on a specific phone I think we get too sucked up into that we're at this point honestly where phones period are fast whether the budget whether the premium so just because the iPhone 10 on paper is faster than the galaxy s 9 plus you're still gonna get a silky smooth experience out of both of these phones next from that's gonna talk about one of the more important elements on a smart phone the camera the iPhone 10 in the Galaxy S nine plus both feature dual cameras the spoiler alert they are both really good it is worth noting that if you want dual cameras though you will have to go for the s9 plus model because the regular galaxy s 9 only features a single lens now the one feature I'm sure you've heard all about on the galaxy s 9 + 9 + is going to be the variable aperture camera some people say it's amazing some people say it's a gimmick essentially what it does is allows galaxy s 9 to adapt in lower lighting situations and change from app 2.4 down to 1.5 is it magic no but it definitely makes a little bit of a difference so here at the galaxy s 9 plus is on the left the iPhone 10 on the right there wasn't a ton of light here and I think as a whole galaxy nine plus that's a better job all the way around from the color to the contrast the sharpness the weight exposes the shadows to the overall brightness the galaxy s 9 plus looks really nice and it's pretty clear the iPhone 10 is struggling here here in the shower reason the wide angle lens on both of the phones I think I prefer the iPhone 10 here the galaxy s 9 plus is a little cooler whereas iPhone 10 is a little true-to-life and how it actually looked in the room as we hop over to the telephoto lens it's the same idea here the galaxy s 9 plus is really sharp but I think as a whole the iPhone 10 definitely looks truer to life's I prefer it here again hopping over to this shot was a light bulb here I prefer the galaxy s 9 plus the sharpness really pops especially if you focus on these strands of light and I think exposure as a whole on the galaxy s night is more balanced compared to the iPhone 10 moving over to this shot I wouldn't say that one is particularly better the other I think it's a case of clearly the iPhone 10 is warmer where the galaxy s 9 plus definitely lends to lean cool and because of that I think it comes down to preference the one thing I will say is galaxy s 9 plus is definitely sharper here moving over to the outdoor shot this is kind of a toss-up between these two both the iPhone 10 and Galaxy S 9 plus looks fantastic and it's a clear example of when you have the right elements both are gonna look amazing as we move over to a lower light evening shot I think both look great but the iPhone 10 in this particular case does a better job of exposing for the sky and a building together with the S time plus we definitely lose a little bit of detail in the sky with the clouds an m10 it is super clear this shot here is very similar to that flower shot in the sense that it's pretty much a toss-up I'm not sure which one I really liked better they both do a fantastic job exposing for the sky and again it's a perfect example of how good these cameras are moving over to portrait mode which is where the dual cameras on both of these phones really shine big shots mr. jocks laid for being the model in this picture you got to make sure to check them out I will link them down below but in this case I think I prefer the iPhone 10 the skies a little more natural Jacques is a little more natural the galaxy s 9 Plus isn't bad but the iPhone 10 as a whole is doing a better job the one kind of parted trick that I'll say is cool with galaxy s 9 plus is in portrait mode you still the ability to retain the wide-angle shot and that's something you can't do on the - 10 hi Lamar hi John so we're at 4k 30fps on the beautiful galaxy s 9 Plus that is a beautiful phone can I have it yeah oh wow how beautiful inception hey I am one handsome guy even though I can't see myself Oh actually can see myself through there Lamarr ception so that's a quick test of the iPhone 10 Gauss s 9 Plus that beautiful man's channels link down below oh thank you it's a really handsome okay bye now from there moving over to the front-facing cameras first let's check out some video so we are on the front-facing camera on the galaxy s 9 plus gonna walk a bit nice Mickey Mouse to rich and let's hop over to the iPhone 10 and we are on the iPhone 10 can't see Rich's Mickey Mouse shirt but let me know what you guys think of the quality the clarity and also how the audio sounds so in terms of video I wouldn't say one is drastically better than the other but as far as photos I definitely hands-down prefer the galaxy s 9 yeah you definitely got to turn off beauty mode on the galaxy s 9 but once you're past that the overall whiteness the lens the color the dynamic range how it exposes for your face and the sky at the same time it's just more satisfying on the s9 also with both of these you can do port itself because I think the more the story here is the pixel 2 is still the king as far as this goes the galaxy s 9 plus isn't doing a bad job which is a little overexposed and it just looks a little unnatural on the iPhone 10 of course just seems to hate my ears so I've never been a true fan of how the iPhone handles portrait selfies now from there it's going to talk about slow motion video and that's actually one advantage of the galaxy s 9 with a feature that is nowhere available on the iPhone 10 that is slow motion video up to 960 frames per second now it is worth mentioning that 960 fps slow-motion video on the galaxy s 9 is 1 only 720p resolution and 2 it will only capture really short bursts there are actually two ways to do this one you can leave it on automatic where the galaxy s 9 is actually looking for the action that happened that way you don't have to try and react or - you can try and do it yourself but it's a little bit challenging now with frame rates that high you do need a lot of light to make this look good so potentially a more practical feature that both of these phones share is 240 frames per second slow motion video at 1080p so after comparing those side-by-side I definitely prefer the iPhone tens 240fps slow motion and really I would say video as a whole is the better option on the iPhone 10 it's nice that the galaxy s 9 plus can now go up to 4k 60 frames per second but once you enable that you actually lose video stabilization and when you're at 4k 30 you can only record a video up to 5 minutes but just a little bit of a bummer now sadly I can't say for this video that no phones were harmed during the making of this video the galaxy s 9 plus took a tragic fall but as they say anything for the shot now as far as battery life both of these phones are gonna get you through the day the galaxy s 9 Plus on the other hand will do a slightly better job overall if you stack up the galaxy s 9 plus versus the galaxy s 9 it has a slightly beefier battery at 3500 milliamp hours versus 3000 so I think that difference there is the difference maker when you stack it next to the iPhone 10 not to say that the iPhone 10 is bad by any means it is definitely better than that for an 8 + 7 but I still think as far as battery King that goes to the iPhone 8 plus as far as Apple goes now in terms of smaller features that most likely aren't gonna make a huge difference in terms of why you would want one of these phones the iPhone 10 features an emojis yo I'm an ADD emoji I'm way cooler than a are emojis and as we all know the galaxy s 99 plus feature a are emoji which is kind of creepy yo I'm an AR moji I'm way cooler than ant emojis none of these are cool with the iPhone 10 you have Siri with the galaxy s 9 plus you have Bigsby so in that case it's kind of like choose your poison and those are pretty much the biggest differences between the galaxy s 9 plus and the iPhone 10 you do of course have the age-old debate of iOS versus Android honestly it comes down to your preference and what you use - as far as that goes but these are both two amazing phones I would say the galaxy s 9 plus is definitely the overall well-rounded phone out of these two with the headphone jack USBC quick charging out of the box a beautiful display great low-light cameras but that is just my opinion hopefully enjoyed this video if you did and you're feeling like being awesome make sure you guys smash that like button again I'm giving away your choice either the Galaxy S 9 plus or iPhone 10 from D brand hits link below this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
