this is the 1 plus 60 what 1 plus dubs as your way of unlocking the speed you need this is the Samsung Galaxy S 9 plus what Samsung calls as the camera reimagined the idea of comparing two of the best Android phones of 2018 at this time of year is truly enticing when it's famous for being really aggressive about pricing and the other is famous for becoming really affordable after it ages so let the games begin I'm hanging out at even our pocket now and this is 1 plus 60 vs. samsung galaxy s we're in the United States you probably noticed just how much fanfare was given to the 1 plus 60 for finally making a launch in a US carrier and we're also sure that it makes you wonder if it's worth considering over an already established product from Samsung visually both devices aren't really that much different and you might even think that this portion of the comparison belongs to the galaxy given its added premium but it's actually the other way around see the 1 + 6 C doesn't just launch with a fancy treatment in the glass to make it less prone to fingerprints and smudges but this is Gorilla Glass 6 versus Gorilla Glass 5 on the galaxy s 9 plus we also have better dimensions on the 60 which is one millimeter smaller one millimeter wider and less than a millimeter slimmer and four grams lighter all while sporting 200 milliamp hours more of battery than the s 9 plus and then internally even if we have the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 on both devices the 60 can extend to a gigs of ram versus the standard 6 on the s9 plus it starts at double the storage at 128 gig versus 64 and has way faster charging than the s9 plus yes the galaxy does have expandable storage but the 60 is dual SIM if you choose the international variant really the only spots where the s 9 plus wins is in sporting and IP rating for water and dust resistance where the 60 is splash resistant but no rating was provided also with the inclusion of wireless charging which the 16 doesn't have and oh yeah the galaxy s 9 plus does have a headphone jack where the 16 doesn't the galaxy does include a more immersive experience for consuming content though we're talking quad HD plus resolution versus Full HD plus we're talking curves all around this gorgeous infinity design as well and we also have more features being supported like HDR 10 where the 60 only claims the DCI p3 color gamut where the 60 wins is in having a larger display at 6.41 inches diagonal vs. 6.2 on a slightly smaller body but then the s9 plus swings back with the lack of a knotch and stereo speakers which improve content consumption our love for a few key essentials that Apple hasn't named iPhones our lover of key essentials has nailed ever since as for biometrics the galaxy has the conventional fingerprint scanner at the back and then iris scanner at the front but the one +60 makes the galaxy look really old but it's on display fingerprint scanner along with one of the fastest face to unlock features that we've tested hardware is really tight between the two but I do feel that the 60 wins in a few more key areas in the galaxy as for the software let's just call the oneplus 60 the winner one more time I know that there are some of you that like Samsung's experienced UX but there's a reason why the company is teasing a new UI at its developer conference this approach is already due for a change sure it looks fancier and yes I do love the denser grid of icons yes I also do praise the edge menus which I depend on constantly but the major problem is that all this fancy stuff comes at the expense of it being stuck way behind in versions of Android I'm actually one of those people that doesn't really say oh I prefer stock Android at least not for the aesthetics though the reason I do care is because it's easier to update as the one plus 60 is already rocking the latest version of Android Pi it already confirms to the new pixel pill gesture navigation approach and it even brings its own gestures which I consider to be better and which the galaxy doesn't include if software updates speed and performance and simplicity are your cup of tea than the one plus 60 is the winner yet again now in all fairness I can't really say that I notice any crippling lag on the s9 plus even with all its floats the 60 does navigate menus faster simply because there are barely any animations but even when playing games both devices perform great also of an essential like battery life is what you care about then let's give the crown to the 60 I did this funny test the other day where I put both devices off the charger for a full day without touching them and the oneplus 60 was still at 80 percent battery while the galaxy s 9 plus was scratching 30 there was seriously just too much going on in the background and then in regular use the 60 ends the day with enough juice to give me an extra one while the galaxy has nine plus ends the day fine but you'll need a charger every night and then when it comes to phone calls both devices perform great data speeds are also fantastic as both devices on the t-mobile network are using the same modem from Qualcomm which performs awesome now with the galaxy s 9 plus the feats the one plus 60 is in the camera you'd assume that the newer 60 would win this one but it seems that Sammy has been hard at work in updating the s 9 plus to be on par with the note 9 for starters the s 9 plus has better specifications thanks to a 12 megapixel camera with dual F 1.5 or F 2.4 aperture a 26 millimeter equivalent and 1.4 microns it also has a 12 megapixel F 2.4 telephoto a 252 millimeter equivalent and microns that are standard sized the 60 on the other hand has a 16 megapixel camera at 1.7 aperture a wider 25 millimeter equivalent but only one point to 2 microns meaning that it won't capture as much light in dark scenarios and I won't even waste your time about detailing the secondary camera as it's more an assistant during the day photos are great on both and you'll even have a hard time telling the difference in back let scenarios I do have to praise oneplus for its great dynamic range even if I feel the galaxy does a better job at capturing detail the problem is once you stack both phones in low-light scenarios surely the oneplus 60 has nightscape for long exposure but even that does not compare to the galaxy s 9 plus you simply can't beat physics with larger microns faster aperture and a larger sensor the s 9 plus really owns low-light to an insane degree portrait photography is good on both devices with a 60 rendering more natural results in my opinion but the s 9 plus wins in having the option to toggle how much background blur you want or none at all when it comes to video recording I like the results on both devices great civilization great detail though I drift more to the 60 when it comes to it being less warp II and then more to the s 9 plus R its color though selfie video is a by the s-line plus because it has the Edit advantage of 2k resolution where the 1 plus 60 is stuck at 1080p to conclude I think it's fair to say that this is a very close call sure the 1 plus 60 has the better specifications in some areas but the galaxy also beats the 60 in others I do prefer the software approach of the 60 and the battery life now that you can subsidize the 1 plus 60 on t-mobile and that there are some insane deals for it the pricing makes this comparison even more challenging as sure you can find deals for the galaxy but they aren't as aggressive as for the 1 plus 60 we do have to call a winner though and if this were my money I'd give this comparison to the 1 plus 60 I feel that you're getting more value for your money and a more future proof product for the long run the galaxy s 9 plus is still a great phone a fantastic contender but even with the current deals the 1 plus 16 makes the galaxy look overpriced definitely a better option in my opinion how about you which one would you pick
