25 Reasons Why Galaxy Note 8 Is Better Than iPhone X

2017-12-19
what's up guys David here and if you've been looking for a new smartphone odds are that the Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone 10 have crossed your mind because both of these phones take a lot of the check boxes that you want to see in a smartphone but at the same time they each have their own unique set of advantages so in this two-part Bumble style video series we're gonna be comparing them by looking at a bunch of reasons why the note 8 could be considered better than the iPhone 10 in this video and why the iPhone 10 could be considered better than the note 8 in the next video which I'll be linking for you down below in the description after watching both videos we should have both for which phone you thought had the stronger reasons and they let me know why down below in the comments anyways let's get the show on the road improve your skill set with Skillshare an online learning community with over 17,000 classes to help you learn things from starting your own business to running a YouTube channel get a free two-month trial by being one of the first 700 people to sign up using the link below reason number one bigger screen both phones have top-notch OLED displays but one of the key areas where they differ is in size with the node 8 having a huge 6.3 inch display compared to the 5.8 inch display on the iPhone 10 which technically is even smaller than that since the notch at the top eats up some of that screen real estate to fast charging adapter both the iPhone 10 and the Galaxy Note 8 support fast charging but the difference is unlike the iPhone the note 8 actually comes with a fast charging adapter in the box whereas on the iPhone if you want fast charging you have to cough up an extra $70 to make it happen three cheaper speaking of extra money the note aid is $50 cheaper than the iPhone 10 and that's at the full retail price but if you spent some time looking around there's usually some kind of deal out there where you can get it for even less or you can have it bundled with some of Samsung's accessories like the gear VR or the deck station that basically turns the note 8 into a little desktop computer for s-pen so for most people the S Pen isn't something that you'll want to use every day but in those moments when you just want to quickly drop something down or you want to draw it's really nice to have especially with the new screen off mode where you can write on the screen even when the phone is locked reason number five Samson pay so Apple pay is great when you can use it but the problem is you can't always use it you're limited to just the retailers that support NFC payments and while that list is growing on the note 8 you can use your phone to pay pretty much anywhere you can physically swipe a credit card 6 micro SD slot having a micro SD slot on your phone means that you won't be stuck with just a built-in storage that comes with the phone because if you do end up needing more storage later on you can just pop in a relatively inexpensive micro SD card for up to an additional 256 gigabytes of storage 7 quick camera launch with a double press of the power button from anywhere or any app whether the screen is on or off you can quickly launch the camera so you won't have to fumble around looking for the camera icon during one of those Kodak moments 8 scrolling screen shots with scroll capture you can take extended screen shots that automatically scroll the screen down for as long as you want which is perfect for when you want to screenshot something like an entire article or when you want to share a text conversation with a friend 9 smart select but if you don't want to take a screenshot of the entire screen you can take a selective screen shot of exactly what you want without the hassle of having to crop out anything after the fact and my favorite part about this feature is smart select also lets you extract text from these selective screen shots so you can copy and paste text that you can never copy on the iPhone reason number 10 multitasking the no date has that big beautiful display and thankfully Samsung actually takes advantage of it there's a split screen mode which allows you to run two apps at once which is great but my personal favorite and the thing that I use most often is pin to top where you can pan a specific portion of something to the corner of the screen and have it stay there for as long as you want as you jump in and out of other apps 11 apps killing both of these phones have the newer taller displays that became popular in 2017 but the problem is on the iPhone 10 a lot of the apps still don't support the new aspect ratio over half of the 130 apps that I personally use aren't yet supported whereas on the note eight almost all of them are natively supported and even when they aren't you can manually have them fill the entire screen with Samsung scaling feature leading to less wasted space and consistent UI 12 scheduled messages you can schedule your text messages to be sent at any time in the future for example say you're up late one night and you want to message somebody but you don't want to wake them up you can just type in your message and schedule it to automatically send to them the next morning there's a bunch of other use case scenarios like sending reminders and birthday wishes but ultimately it's just a great way to automate the messages that you know you're gonna send anyways 13 battery indicators not only can you have the battery percentage displayed up in the status bar which due to the nagy the iphone 10 can't but the note can also give you estimates for how long the battery will actually last you or even how long it'll take to fully charge when it's plugged in 14 edge panel with edge panel you could take advantage of the curved screen on the no date with panels of your favorite apps and shortcuts so that way you can conveniently access them from anywhere with just a swipe from the edge of the screen reason number 15 dual assistance so the Galaxy Note 8 has this one-two punch when it comes to virtual assistants it's got the Google assistant built-in which for the most part is more capable than Siri but it also has Bixby which is Samsung's all new assistant that you can ask to do things on your phone that most other assistants can't do from blocking the last number who called you to marking all of your unread emails as read so together it's like having the ultimate assistance 16 clipboard going beyond just your basic copy and paste the note 8 lets you copy up to 20 different pieces of text and photos to the clipboard so you're not limited to copying and pasting just one thing at a time which can be a huge time-saver 17 faster overall performance as we saw in our fumble of style speed test the extra 3 gigabytes of RAM on the note 8 adds up to a faster smartphone experience with more of your app staying open in the background and not needing to be reloaded as often 18 notification cues on the no dates you have multiple ways to be alerted about a new notification it can let you know through the always-on display there's an LED notification light that flashes different colors depending on where the notification came from and with smart alert the phone can even vibrate as soon as you pick it up letting you know you have a new message 19 ultra power saving mode sometimes you just won't have access to a charger but with the note 8 you'll be able to keep going with ultra power saving mode which basically turns the smartphone into a dumb phone that can extend your battery life from just a few hours all the way up to a few days reason number 20 headphone jack unlike the iPhone 10 the Galaxy Note 8 still has a headphone jack meaning you won't have to ditch your fancy headphones or carry around an adapter 21 no camera home.the no dates cameras sit flush against the back allowing you to use it while the phone is lying flat on a table without it wobbling back and forth like crazy like the iPhone does with its chunky camera hump 22 secure folder secure folder uses defense grade technology to help keep your most sensitive data whether it's a photo and email or an app private and completely separate from the rest of your phone so if you install an app insecure folder that app won't show up outside of the password protected folder even if you go in and install that app outside of the secure folder it'll be a completely separate version of the app with none of the same information 23 creates a gift whether you're watching your own video or a video on social media you could turn it into a gift easily by selecting exactly what you want on your screen to be in the gift and then just hit the record button the phone takes care of the rest automatically giving you a gift that you can share with your friends 24 themes on the note 8 you're not stuck with the same old look that everybody else has you can truly make the phone your own with hundreds of custom themes and icons that can change the way your phone looks system-wide and finally reason number 25 separate apps sound when connected to a Bluetooth speaker you can set it so only the audio from your music app is routed to the speaker with audio from all other apps being played back on the phone itself this is great for when you're playing DJ at a party or listen to music in your car and you don't want to interrupt the music while you open up something like snapchat the snapshot audio will stay on your phone while the music still goes on uninterrupted alright so those are the top 25 reasons why the no dates could be considered better than the iPhone 10 but remember the word better is subjective so be sure to watch the iPhone tense version which will be linked for you down below
