for years we've been practicing revising our skills to get ready for this versus moment we're gonna be comparing the two biggest flak chips in the market and of course being a TechnoBuffalo versus won't be a cop-out at the end we will declare a winner this is the iPhone 10 versus the Galaxy S 9 you know what that sounds like a little bit of fun can I join you on that you also want to piss off 50% your audience let's make YouTube is for isn't it let's do it all right I'm mr. mobile I'm John render from TechnoBuffalo and this is iPhone 10 versus Galaxy S 9 so this is clearly a different versus I am obviously outclassed by my coalos but we are still going to compare these phones and like I said we are going to give a winner but to make it a bit unique Michael I are each going to have a vote on each of our four categories and they are camera software build and tangibles as a bonus at the end we're gonna give serve our personal opinions on the phones as a whole just to make a little more fun we're gonna split it into two videos the first one is of course gonna live here - what you're about to watch the second one lives on my channel youtube.com/ / - d mr mobile and of course willing to adhere down below and subscribe and check out over there to see who the winners gonna be you want to find out let's start it all right let's not put it off let's do the hard one first you're gonna tell everybody what operate system you prefer I am NOT going to do that I'm gonna do the camera bit camera cameras physically speaking these are very similar very similar and we're talking about the s9 plus here we should clarify not the standard eslint I figure is best apples to apples comparison I'm leaving thank you so we've got the two 12 megapixel cameras on each both are optically stabilized on boats are wide and telephoto lenses yep both have rather excessive low-light capabilities but one of them edges out the other already in that respect so I mean you're putting the photos side by side and if you can't immediately tell the difference no one is gonna blame you but when you start taking them into extreme situations like very very dark environments the s9 + starts showing its advantage let's reactants we try to see the advantages with the variable aperture that Samsung has done naturally the big difference with the 9 + versus the 8 + yeah and we've seen I mean by now we've seen endless close-up shots of this variable aperture doing its thing this mechanical IR s closing over the lens and it is too cool I could watch it forever but what it results in in the real world is that you can really get a whole lot more light into the end of the camera and I've gotten some really excellent low-light shots from the front we'll say the general shots on the same thing though like Samsung likes to do they're a little poppy little extra extra contrast II that's exactly what I was gonna say yeah with an iPhone you tend to get a much more or true-to-life not much more you get a slightly more true-to-life shot coming out of the phone that you can then manipulate as you like Samsung tends to produce one that's a little more ready for instant instagramming and so if you want something that's a little more authentic yeah the iPhone is your way to go but the thing that puts it over the top for me there are two things can we talk about video yeah can we talk about super slow-mo I mean I guess we have to thank you everyone thinks it's a gimmick I just adore it because I used it on a Sony phone for a while last summer and you can really do some incredible time travel so Samsung basically lifted that feature and you can shoot at 960 frames a second for a fifth of a second which is all you need when you're shooting something really fast the iPhone camera the camera though is no slouch on the iPhone and I think when you compare pictures and normal light scenarios side-by-side still they come down to a preference do you like the poppier more vibrant colors that samsung tends to do I think the samsung's credit there's a lot less processing in the image than there was it like a galaxy s 8 yeah I think I think you're right on that I think also though like there is so much I'm looking at the viewfinder right now and there is so much packaged up in the s9s viewfinder that I tend to prefer cuz I like the ability to go manual and stuff without downloading another app on the iPhone though to your point it is a much more just pick it up and shoot and you're probably good but it is something and that's kind of a microcosm for like iOS and Android like you pick it up and it's gonna work you're getting more granular options I mean you've got a food mode built-in I mean to the sensor but you are getting still a really good camera and I think when it comes to the iPhone picture getting colors that are more true to life as opposed to start a little more vibrant so you get on Samsung right so that's going to be a preference I think we check to see a difference between the two we talked about the variable apertures and a little light there's a definite difference with the artifact in the background in low-light situations mmm I think the slo-mo if you're going to use it it's a benefit to the Samsung Apple has it it's 240 at 1080 but also Samsung as RAM built into their camera module to process all of those that to hold all those images that are coming in which is which is very cool but you're picking a phone based just on camera you're getting more with one of the phones in art or the other and I think the trap can be very often just doing these side by side shots which I do and I like to see how they perform on the same screen and I'll do one of the same photo with both phones and I'm like well half the time I'll take one half the time I'll take the other for me the more important question to answer is what kind of camera experience do you want and for me given all the out-of-the-box options I get the s9 plus is the way that I tend to go yeah I mean and I think a lot of people would go that same way but if I'm picking one up because I want the best pictures and I want the best video options I'm still going for the Samsung so let's go from a hard category to category littered with it commenter landmines let's let's talk about software all right so starting the discussion with software the iPhone we talked about making us not an iOS versus Android but the software experience I think is very relevant to the phone experience yeah so when it comes to the iPhone technical system mm-hmm and I think that's obviously apples Britain but it's like people come back to iPhones things that just work together you know photos iMessages Apple pay all sort of stuff yet coming together and sort of one seamless don't need to think about it packaged and there are some things that are still infuriating with the iPhone 10 and an iOS experience I can't simply add a shortcut to just direct dial my wife mm-hmm I can't choose to just put my hat at the bottom of my screen without creating invisible shortcuts in quarters sort of sort of hacking it to make it work there are a lot of OS shortcomings that all sort of boils down to customization yeah customization is the name of the game and as always with Android that's where it's that I mean it's just a bucket of choice you can change your layout you can change your options you can change your widgets you can change you can I haven't always on display if you want to if you don't like any of it you can change your launcher so you don't have to put up with it you know so there's a lot of added complexity that gets introduced as a result I mean the s9 is not as simple to immediately pick up and use as the iPhone 10 maybe if specially if you're not coming from another Android phone and there's a lot of duplicate functionality that Samsung has dropped onto it but still at once again we come back to the point of it in the camera section you can do what you want the option exists if you can think of it on the s9 plus I really like the Samsung experience which what they're calling it now you know there's sort of four core skin on Android ever you want to call it on the s9 line devices and on the note line devices I think it's really good and in some ways I think it's even better than what you get with stock Wow some ways bold move yeah no and I don't disagree one bit because as I say like even Android stock Android has started to take over take after iOS in in the ways of some kind of simplicity and you know like minimalism and that's really cool in its own right but if you want the option to do anything with the Samsung launcher it's there and I do want to say I think unique to the iPhone 10 there is a for the first time a software learning curve with the iPhone yeah that you know Android is always a knock on Android you have to learn how to use it you have to relearn how to use iOS with the iPhone 10 and also this is a point I did want to make in the iPhones favor as well but we've come to this point of saying like well iOS and Android are kind of equal in terms of what apps are supported all this stuff and that's largely true but this is a fitness accessory of the motive smart ring that only has an iOS app right now or last I checked I use a microphone back in the studio that only has an iOS app it's like it's there is still an edge so if you had to pick one of these phones based solely on the software experience I don't think it's gonna be any surprise it would be the galaxy s 9 for me I've almost always gone Samsung these verses when it comes to software until the iPhone 10 I really like what Apple's done with iOS there are a lot of things you can improve on a lot of ways it can get better yeah the app experience is still better on iOS and for all of those reasons I'm actually for the first time in a while I'm picking the iPhone 10 for software we thought we got the hard one out of the way but now things get a little tighter when we talk about build build quality what do we mean by that industrial design how it feels in the hand how it looks we were gonna say I would look for the screen off but no the screen is a huge part in this so do you mind if I jump right into the screen do it up I think which one you prefer is gonna depend an awful lot on that notch Oh dad notch and I listen I don't think we need to go too far into how we each feel about the notch I like it I'm gonna ask you how you feel about it I have become more knotch impartial I was not not favorable at the beginning you were not not friendly I was not not not friendly not friendly not friendly always friendly yeah III think I always quite liked it actually I liked how the radius is of all the corners match and like it's really really beautiful but I think Samsung's approach is the cleaner one yeah the the prettier one this game still falls off the edges like it's like it's done for a while in that infinity pool kind of thing but you get this rather nice symmetry between top and bottom yeah there's a little bit of a taller forehead in the s9 plus but it's I don't know it's it's it's less distinctive I said this about my review and I think it's becoming less a matter of opinion more a matter of fact but same time makes the best displays in the business yeah and even if you like the display on the iPhone better you still like a samsung Display Samsung made the display on the Apple iPhone 10 so just wrap your head around that if you didn't know it right and also I we shouldn't say that there are not differences though I feel like the iPhone 10 does have a more favorable score in terms of color tuning it's a little more accurate but if you can see that with a naked eye you have much better eyes than I to me both of these displays are just stunning I like the higher contrast to of the samsung Display yeah that's a personal preference thing but I prefer I still think the displays on the Samsung line of phones look like stickers and I can look like real phones yeah but if you like a phone that changes its it's white point all the time to match the room it's in Samsung does this to a degree to Apple does it better it's one of those really tiny little pieces of attention to detail but that Apple's just been doing for a while I agree so what about the builds the rest of the way around the phone this is where it's really really really difficult because I think both of these are finished tremendously but into my view one of them comes away not the clear winner but the winner if you think about it for a second okay and I think it's the iPhone 10 why because it's made of this is the galaxy s 9 is 7000 series aluminum that's great it's stronger than the previous aluminum they were using this is stainless steel and this is an interesting category I think in previous gen especially with the SK Samsung and run away with this category versus any of the competition because the s8 design was like peak smartphone design mm-hmm and it's an S year for Samsung a lot of phone manufacturers do that it's if it's an iterative update whereas this generation is a completely new look feel design everything for the iPhone for the iPhone 10 yeah and still it is preserved you know what the one thing is that that that gave me it gave the iPhone 10 the the win for me mm-hmm can I say that yeah you can say it I haven't given my my wonder alert I like the iPhone one better but it's big I had to take the phones apart to do it not really I had to pop a sim tool into the SIM tray pull them both out and you know that feeling if you've moved into enough Samsung phones where it flexes around because it's plastic yeah because who cares about the SIM tray Apple did the thing where they paint the back side of the fence or whatever because you never see it except when you first move into the phone and it's that really nice metal SIM tray and you know the whole phone is built to that standard of excellence so that's what put it over the top for me as foolish as you may think that is not you you so for me looking at both these phones I love the way they both feel the iPhone 10 just feels different perhaps because it is different for Apple I mean despite my hairline notch built into the top I don't mind that and I've gotten used to it more than I did at the beginning I loved the build of the iPhone 10 I can deal with the knotch I can deal with the camera humps I love the way that phone is constructed and you feel like you are holding something incredibly premium which is not to say that s9 isn't but I could close my eyes and hold an s8 and an s9 and they feel the same premium but the same but for this category it's a phone yet so we've covered a lot of landmine categories but we are not done in our vs. we still have yet to cover intangibles we've yet to declare our winner and for the first time in two verses we're gonna talk a little bit more about personal preference so if you want to see who wins you want to see those categories there's only one place to do it that's at my youtube channel youtube.com slash the mr. mobile we're gonna cover the rest of that and maybe make some people mad make some people happy I'm probably a little bit of both so we're gonna link to Michael's channel down below go check out that video and while you're there of course at that subscribe button because who wouldn't want to see that face pop up pretty regularly Wow and also is one of the bests in the business so if you like tech videos you haven't checked out Michael you're not gonna find anyone better than what he's gonna be putting out we're too kind if I may one thing before we go over there you do have to be in uniform so I brought you something let's roll
