By choosing reliable smartphone, the user first of all learns new Samsung models and Apple. The confrontation between these two corporations in the market mobile technologies has been going on for more than one year. Both offer premium segment models using cutting-edge technology. All this makes the choice quite difficult. Within the framework of this material, we will make a small comparison and give a number of facts that will help you figure out that better iPhone or Samsung.
Companies use different marketing strategies. Samsung is trying to be present in all price segments at the same time. For this, dozens of phones with different characteristics are produced. Entering the store, you see whole racks full of "Koreans".
Smartphones are presented for every taste and wallet. Low budget models of the J series: J2, J3, J7. Mid-range smartphones: A3, A5, A7, A8, premium Galaxy versions: S8, S9, as well as Note series and Note Plus phablets. As a rule, all brands are represented by a variant of the current and last years.
Apple only releases two models a year. The older one, with the "Plus" index, has a larger screen diagonal and a dual camera. The lowest price segments are occupied by models that have not been removed from production for the last two years. With the 2017 anniversary iPhone released by mid-2018, the product line includes eight variants: SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and X.
The spread in the characteristics of several dozen devices of different price categories and years of production is too large. We will not give comparative tables with little-to-say figures, but focus on the most important parameters of the flagships from the point of view of operation.
Screen
The user will have to interact with the screen throughout the entire life of the device. Therefore, this is the first thing to pay attention to. Companies use different technologies... All Samsung screens are made using AMOLED technology. Apple in all smartphones, with the exception of the last X, installs IPS matrices better known by the marketing name Retina.
AMOLED
The technology is based on the use of active LEDs with independent luminescence. The advantages of such screens include high speed response and perfect black display. A display in darker tones uses less power as its transmission is achieved by reducing power to the selected area. High-quality black display allows you to achieve high level contrast. Thus, the information is equally well readable from the display in a dark room and in sunlight. TO negative sides LED arrays have traditionally been referred to as "memory effect" problems and burnout.
To some extent, they are related to each other. White color is displayed on the screen using three LEDs: blue, red and green. The peculiarities of production lead to the fact that the blue ones are the first to fail. Over time, the white color will gradually go into the "warm zone" of the spectrum, in other words, the screen will begin to "yellow". The "memory effect" is a secondary consequence of burnout. Long display of a bright static element leads to the appearance of its "shadow", visible over any element.
IPS Retina
IPS matrices for displaying images use static backlight filtered through polarized liquid crystals. The advantages of the technology include stable power consumption and balanced color rendering. In addition, liquid crystals are not subject to wear and tear, and therefore, over time, the screen practically does not lose in terms of brightness.
However, the contrast IPS matrices below. The indicator is 1: 1000, although this is more than enough for a comfortable perception of the picture by the eye. The response time is tenths of a millisecond, and AMOLED is ahead here too. However, this indicator is important only when displaying VR objects and in dynamic games.
Dimensions (edit)
Samsung is pushing Galaxy models with a "limitless screen" on the market. If you take latest devices, then both manufacturers have AMOLED matrices with a diagonal of 5.8. The resolution is 1440x2960 pixels. In other words, the S9 and iPhone X have approximately the same display quality.
The rest of the iPhone models have smaller screens produced using IPS technology. 4.7 inches for the base model and 5.5 inches for the Plus version.
Operating system
The devices run on different operating systems. Samsung uses free android Oreo augmented proprietary shell Experience. Apple products run closed iOS. We will not go into the merits and demerits of both operating systems. There are many reviews on this topic, supplemented by the subjective opinion of the authors. From the user's point of view, the difference in the update system is important.
By purchasing an "apple" device, you are guaranteed to receive fresh firmware releases for at least three subsequent years. For example, the SE released in 2016 will receive an update to iOS 12. This OS will be released only in September 2018. As a result, Apple continues to unleash the potential originally built into smartphones through software updates.
Samsung is not so stable in this regard. Perhaps the Galaxy Note models running Oreo will receive an update to version 8.1, but the younger A3 or A5 line smartphones will never see it. Samsung prefers to release updated models with new features. If you buy a non-flagship phone, you will most likely never see new features in it, even if it is specifications allow you to implement them.
Autonomy and performance
South Korean vehicles are equipped with batteries with a larger capacity than the "apple". However, this does not mean that they last longer. The difference in the amount of charge is well leveled by the best iOS optimization. The table below allows you to evaluate the time parameters of the current models of smartphones from both manufacturers.
As you can see, the fresh S9 is far from the first place in terms of autonomous web surfing time. At the same time, it is inferior to last year's C7 and S7 edge models, as well as smartphones in 2016, such as the S6 or C8.
Since 2017 year Apple managed to catch up with Samsung in another important parameter. Modern models from both manufacturers have tempered glass cases and are capable of using wireless charging device working according to the Qi standard. Thus, the ability to easily replenish the capacity makes the autonomy indicator important, but not critical.
Both companies use mirrored connectors to charge devices in the traditional way. Apple switched to it earlier. The proprietary Lightning connector was also received by the 5 and 5S models with a four-inch screen. Samsung uses double-sided USB-C which allows higher voltage to use the Quick Charge function.
In synthetic tests designed to determine the performance of devices, the picture is even more depressing. The C8 is catastrophically behind its peer iPhone 8. If we take the Galaxy C6 and iPhone 6C models, the picture will be similar.
Despite such a scatter in the results, synthetic tests never give a picture of real operation, as well as user reviews. The same device behaves completely differently when it falls into different hands.
Finally
Compare with each other Apple smartphones and Samsung is possible indefinitely. Considering that these are two largest manufacturer only the lazy does not do this. Reviews of photo opportunities are endlessly conducted, voice assistants Siri and Bixby, drop tests and more. Despite the complete identity of the tasks being solved, the companies differ in different approaches to their implementation. As a result, the devices performing the same functions differ from each other as heaven and earth.
Before you buy a phone, you should decide on the tasks that it will have to perform. The iPhone's capabilities are best unleashed when interacting with others. Apple devices... Samsung gives you more freedom to work with your peripherals with removable memory cards and a universal USB connector.
Video review
The video overview below is designed to help you choose the right choice between these competing products in all respects.
Some iPhone time 7 was unmatched. But finally, it has a worthy competitor - the Samsung Galaxy S8. And despite the fact that the iPhone 8 has already been released, the 7 version of the smartphone is still relevant. So which is better: iPhone 7 or Samsung S8? This question is often asked by buyers. Let's take a look at both smartphones and try to answer this question below.
Unlike the iPhone 7, the Samsung S8 started selling six months later. Therefore, the new product from the Korean manufacturer should be more technological. Is it really?
Design
Both smartphones are very beautiful and laconic. But at 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8, you can find major differences. Let's figure out which ones, because many people choose their smartphone, relying only on its appearance.
The lack of a front bezel and the Infinity display accentuate the design of the Samsung smartphone. Outwardly, Samsung S8 attracts most of all. iPhone 7 looks very similar to previous version smartphone from the same company, so it looks less modern. has a screen with a resolution of 6.7 inches. However, due to the lack of frames, it does not seem too cumbersome. Rear part the smartphone is made of glass and has a metal edging. This solution visually makes the device more luxurious. Samsung began producing smartphones with glass backs 2 years ago. However, due to the change in color gamut new model doesn't look out of date.
Who will win the iPhone 7 vs Samsung S8 battle? We continue to understand further. Both devices are protected from moisture penetration under the case, but there are some nuances. Samsung can be kept in water for up to 30 minutes, while the depth should be no more than 1.5 meters. The iPhone, on the other hand, can stay under water without incident for no longer than 15 minutes, at a depth of no more than 1 meter. As you can see, Samsung is more reliable in this regard.
Headphones
What could be more important than headphones for music lovers ?! And the headphone and sound quality is also very important aspect when choosing a smartphone.
Almost immediately after the release of the iPhone 7, many began to resent the lack of a headphone jack. The company made this decision in order to make the smartphone thinner, and there was more space inside. Thanks to this move, it was possible to place more useful components inside the device. It also made it possible to additionally protect the smartphone from moisture ingress inside it. However, because of this, the headphones on the iPhone 7 are now wireless, which is not entirely convenient. At any moment they can fall out and get lost. The sound of the headphones has not changed. Their corps remained the same.
Not all users liked this solution, and they prefer to use wired headphones... Especially for such smartphone owners, the company supplies a special adapter with the device, which connects to the charging connector, and from the other end to the headphones. In this way, you can listen to music using ordinary headphones, as well as connect the AUX-wire, which is also popular.
Of course, in the future, many smartphones will be just like that, but now it is superfluous, the public was not ready for this. Samsung didn't dare to do this, and the Galaxy S8 has a headphone jack. This was not done in vain, because the majority of users use them.
Display
The S8's Infinity display and bezel-less design accentuate image quality that is significantly better than the iPhone. has a display with curved edges and a resolution of 2960 x 1440. The display size is 5.8 inches. It is convenient to use a smartphone by launching several applications on the screen at once, but at the same time, all of this can be controlled with one hand, which is quite convenient. The Samsung Galaxy S8 display is made with Super AMOLED technology and is rated by the respected DisplayMate company as the best display ever installed in a smartphone. The display can be customized by standard parameters but it also has Dolby Vision technology.
iPhone 7 is equipped with Retina display made using IPS LCD technology. The screen size of the smartphone is 4.7 inches, and the resolution is 1334 x 750. It reproduces the picture quite colorfully and has good viewing angles. DisplayMate noted that the iPhone 7's display is one of the best LCDs available. Despite this, the fact that the Samsung S8 is better remains.
Previously, AMOLED displays were inferior to LCDs. However, Samsung has done a great job and achieved a different result. Now Apple is working on developing an AMOLED display for next version your smartphone.
The only advantage iPhone display 7 is 3D Touch technology. Thanks to it, it becomes much more convenient for the user to use the smartphone. It determines the level of pressure on the screen and, depending on this, reacts differently to pressing.
CPU
The Samsung Galaxy S8 hides a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset under its body. The octa-core processor clocks in at 2.35 GHz. GPU here - Adreno 540. It works on big.LITTLE technology, thanks to which it was possible to achieve high performance and long-term operation of the smartphone without recharging.
The iPhone 7 shell houses the Apple A10 Fusion quad-core chip. Two of them operate at high frequencies and the rest at low frequencies. This was done in order to increase the performance of the smartphone and its operating time without recharging.
In this regard, the iPhone 7 undoubtedly wins. The Apple A10 chip is much more productive than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. It has practically no equal competitors. However, Apple has always installed powerful chips in its smartphones that do not consume much power.
Almost all modern smartphones decrease productivity after a certain period of time. This happens much slower on the iPhone 7 than on the Samsung Galaxy S8.
Memory
Highly important characteristic when choosing a smartphone is memory. And here, too, you can find a significant difference between these smartphones. After all, the iPhone 7 has only 2 GB of RAM, while the Galaxy S8 has 4 GB. However, due to the smaller screen size and features iOS iPhone in some moments it works even "faster" than Samsung. The thing is that Android consumes more resources.
When multitasking, the S8 feels better and handles it without issue. The iPhone 7 has minor problems with this.
iPhone 7 is available for purchase with versions of 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB of storage. The Samsung Galaxy S8 only comes with a 64GB version. Such a decision on the part of the company is not entirely clear, because some users will have too much space, while others will not.
Camera
Continuing iPhone comparison 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S8, discussing the rear camera. Both the first and the second device have 12 megapixels. However, this is their only similarity. was developed for a long time and is equipped with an optical stabilizer, and the size of each pixel is 1.22 microns. Samsung has the same camera as the previous S7. It is made using Dual Pixel technology, and the pixel size is 1.4 microns.
The smartphone camera shoots better than the iPhone 7, only in low light. It is designed in such a way that when shooting a video, it combines 3 pictures in a row rather quickly, while eliminating noise and drawing all the elements in more detail.
Cameras of both smartphones shoot video in 4K resolution. On this moment it is the highest. It's hard enough to decide who will win the iPhone 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 battle. Their cameras convey all the colors and small details when viewing photos taken with these devices.
Frontal iPhone camera 7 has 7 megapixels. It was created using Retina Flash technology. Thanks to this, she shoots well in low light conditions. The Samsung S8 has an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus capability. Thanks to this, selfies on this device are more detailed, but it is better not to take pictures in low light.
Customization
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has the ability to change the location of the buttons in the navigation bar. You can also change the background color here. You can also customize the Always On Display. But even after such convenient innovations, some owners this smartphone resent the impossibility of remapping the Bixby button for other processes. It’s strange to hear this, because this has never happened on previous devices from Samsung. Why then be indignant? After all, the company could do without introducing such a function.
Sensors
Both smartphones have a fingerprint scanner, accelerometer and other sensors. However, the Samsung S8 also has face recognition and an eye shell scanner. The company began installing the scanner on previous devices and has been improving it all this time. Face recognition is not yet fully developed, as some users were able to deceive this function... The Galaxy S8 also has a heart rate sensor, but no use has yet been found for it. These features are not available on the iPhone 7.
Battery
The battery capacity of these devices is very different. The Galaxy S8 has 3,000 mAh, while the iPhone 7 has 1,960 mAh. In this case, Samsung should have longer battery life, but this is not the case. The iPhone 7 has a smaller screen, which means it uses less power. Also, the iOS platform is not energy consuming. Therefore, it is difficult to say which device will last longer without recharging.
While the S8 may discharge faster in some cases, it can be recharged quickly. The smartphone fully refills its battery in just 60 minutes. It can be charged with or without a wire. Moreover, the time for a full charge does not differ from this factor. The iPhone 7 cannot boast such fast charging, as its factory cable is only 5V.
It is also worth noting that both smartphones-Samsung Galaxy S8 and Iphone 7 are non-removable batteries. Therefore, in the event of a breakdown, an independent replacement will not work. To do this, you will have to contact the service center.
Price
So, one of the main issues of choice is the cost of smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is only offered with 64GB of storage, so it's priced at $ 724. iPhone 7 comes with a variety of storage options, which is why its price depends on the number of gigabytes. Most cheap option- iPhone 7 with 32GB of storage. Its cost is $ 649. The version with 128 GB of memory will cost the buyer already $ 749. The most expensive option is the 256GB version, which costs $ 849.
Outcome
It is rather difficult to choose one of these two smartphones. The iPhone 7 and Samsung S8 have both advantages and disadvantages. The Galaxy S8 looks very solid, it comes with expandable storage and has excellent quality cameras. iPhone 7 runs smoother and uses less power. It is also protected from viruses and hacking. Perhaps that is why many famous people choose Apple products.
The iPhone 7 Plus and Samsung S8 Plus also have some differences. Photos at night on the Iphone come out clean, even moving objects come out clear. Samsung has problems with this, the pictures are blurry and fuzzy. The Galaxy S8 Plus has distorted frame corners. Also, in addition to the camera, there are differences in the size of the display, compared to the Samsung S8, the Iphone 7 has a smaller screen. The differences between these smartphones do not end there. There are differences in random access memory smartphones: Samsung has 1 GB more. The battery, compared to the Iphone 7, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has 600 mAh more.
This concludes the comparison of our smartphones. To summarize, it is impossible to say with certainty which smartphone is better to buy. It all depends on the desire of the consumer and financial capabilities. After analyzing the information received, in the future you will be able to make the right choice. What is S8 or Iphone 7 - it's up to you and only you.
Which is better: the newfangled iPhone 7 or the stylish Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - the eternal dispute between iOS and Android has moved to a new stage, in 2019-2020 it actually turned into a confrontation between the two flagships of the most popular high-tech companies.
Both devices stand out among other phones in almost all respects: design, camera, screen, processor. And even the additional features that gadgets offer are extremely difficult to find in other devices. Only by comparing in detail each side of both phones, you can find out which smartphone is better to choose from the two flagships presented.
Price
The question of which is better to buy, an iPhone or a Samsung, most often depends on the cost. It's no secret that Apple devices are much more expensive. Of course, Apple's pricing policy is justified: for unique characteristics the manufacturer has every right to set high price tags on their devices. As a result, according to Yandex.Market data, iPhone cost 7 128Gb starts at 43 thousand rubles, while the minimum price for the Galaxy S7 Edge 32Gb starts from 32 thousand rubles. Agree, the difference of 11 thousand is very significant. Another thing is how the price-quality parameters are combined for each of the smartphones.
Screen
According to this indicator, the South Korean flagship is head and shoulders above its eternal “apple” rival. The stylish device from Apple is equipped with a completely standard 4.7-inch IPS-screen with a resolution of 1334 × 750 (HD optimized). The Samsung smartphone received a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with QuadHD-resolution, for those who do not know it is 2560 pixels by 1440. Devices with a large good screen highly appreciated by buyers, therefore, the Gelaxi S7 has a serious advantage in this indicator.
Both displays are covered with high-quality tempered glass, which not only creates a 2.5D effect, but also helps to protect smartphones from scratches and other mechanical damage and water. However, the Korean has another advantage - he has a curved screen, which creates a kind of 3D effect and improves the quality of the image. Therefore, in this comparison, Samsung definitely wins.
Operating system
The debate about which OS is the best has been going on ever since smartphones appeared on both platforms. A couple of years ago it was possible to answer unequivocally in favor of Apple's iOS. But today Android 6.0 is a perfectly polished system. Moreover, at the beginning of last autumn, for the first time in its history, it was recognized as more stable than the last build of iOS 10. Both OSs look very nice and work quickly, so the choice depends solely on the taste of the buyer.
CPU
Now let's consider which phone is better, an iPhone or a productive Samsung, in terms of performance. The issue is very controversial. The "apple" gadget received a high-quality 4-core Apple A10 Fusion chip with a frequency of 2340 MHz, a PowerVR GT7600 video accelerator and 2 GB of RAM. Thanks to excellent optimization, this set of parameters allows you to use the device at the highest possible performance. As for the South Korean flagship, it got an 8-core Exynos 8890 chip with a frequency of 2300 MHz, a Mali-T880 MP12 video accelerator and 4 GB of RAM. According to Geekbench data, given processor is by far the most powerful, therefore, in terms of performance, the seventh generation iPhone is somewhat inferior to the brainchild of Samsung.
Camera
The best reviews for smartphone optics are built into the iPhone 7. The 12 megapixel camera with optical stabilization and an aperture of F / 1.8 is capable of shooting no worse than a professional camera. There are even exhibitions of photographs taken with such optics in the USA and Europe. However, it is strange that experts do not pay attention to an excellent camera with the same parameters, but aperture reduced by 0.1. The photos are obtained of about the same quality, so it is difficult to identify the winner in this indicator. As for the front cameras, the iPhone has a 7 megapixel matrix, while the Galaxy S7 Edge has a 5 megapixel one, and with other parameters being approximately equal, the "apple" selfies will be somewhat clearer, more saturated and brighter.
Additional features
You can opt for the iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge by exploring the various features that both smartphones offer.
- The advantage of SIM cards... One of the most important components is a SIM card. The iPhone has traditionally built one connector, while the Gelaxi has two ports at once. Both phones work with VoLTE networks, so everyone chooses based on the need to work with 2 SIM.
- Comparison of spaciousness... Considering the volume internal memory It's hard to say which smartphone is the best. On the one hand, the iPhone has got a whopping 128GB, while the Galaxy S7 Edge has only 32GB. However, Samsung has provided a microSD port that supports cards up to 200GB. Thus, in terms of cumulative memory, the Korean is better, but to achieve this result, you will have to spend a certain amount of money.
- Comparison in autonomy... The batteries of the devices are different in volume, but the charge is practically the same. The iPhone received a 1960 mAh battery, which, thanks to the ideal optimization of the smartphone itself (which was mentioned above), can last up to 2 days without recharging with average use. The Samsung flagship hides a 3600 mAh battery under the cover of the case, which, due to the notorious energy efficiency of Android, keeps charging in about the same way as an "apple" device.
- Wireless charging function... However, the South Korean smartphone is favorably distinguished by one function - wireless charging, which relieves the owner of unnecessary and constantly interfering wires.
- Fingerprint scanner... Naturally, both smartphones have a fingerprint scanner on the center button. Nevertheless, Samsung specialists have found something to surprise here as well. The device can measure the pulse, which is very popular with many owners who monitor their health.
- Always-On Display Capability... Also in the Galaxy S7 Edge, the Always-On Display function has appeared, which displays information about the time, date, weather and upcoming events marked in the calendar when the screen is locked and turned off.
Which is better iPhone or Samsung?
So, which is better: iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - in fact, these are two approximately equal good smartphone that are equipped with beautiful screens, high-performance processors, high-quality optics and many different functions that make the life of device owners convenient and interesting. If we take the technical side, then the advantage should be given to the Galaxy S7 Edge, if we consider the aesthetic component, then the buyers value the iPhone more. In fact, everyone can choose which one is better for himself: you just need to know what the future owner of the gadget appreciates in him.
Our large-scale research has been supplemented with new products from Samsung and iPhone. Leadership is again with the Samsung model. Why did the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS fail to take first place? Details are below.
In the overall standings, for more than a year and a half, the 1st and 2nd places were taken by Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 +. When the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + came out, they took the lead. However, these flagships did not last long there - the leader changed again with the release of new products. So, now Samsung Galaxy - Note 9 is on the 1st place in the rating. And this means that this smartphone lost a little bit new Apple- iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS. They took 2nd and 3rd places, respectively.
The top ten also includes Samsung Galaxy S9, S9 +, S8, S8 +, iPhone 8 Plus, Huawei P20 Pro (CLT - L29) and Samsung Galaxy Note 8. As you can see, the “smartphone of the decade” iPhone X has taken off from the top. It is inferior to the iPhone 8 (11th line) and is only in 12th place.
Thus, today the top 10 best smartphones looks like that:
Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Samsung Galaxy S9.
Samsung Galaxy S9 +.
Samsung Galaxy S8.
Samsung Galaxy S8 +.
Huawei P20 Pro (CLT - L29).
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
Why Samsung Galaxy Note 9 overtook the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS?
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 scored more points than the new iPhone in the durability test, battery test, music quality assessment, as well as in terms of phone capabilities (signal sensitivity, antenna strength, etc.). In an important indicator of the quality of photo and video shooting, he lost, but only hundredths of a point. Also, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 display has a drawback: reading from it can be difficult with a slight mirror effect due to the curved screen. But, of course, this minimal gap in some indicators did not allow the iPhone XS Max or iPhone XS to break out of the first places in the ranking.
1. STRENGTH. The new iPhone has actually failed the durability test (drum test). On the iPhone XS, after 50 drops, the camera broke and the screen stopped working, while on the iPhone XS Max, after 50 drops, white and green stripes appeared on the screen, the case was scratched, and after 100 drops, one of the samples broke the case. These phones are definitely not worth dropping: chances are high that they will break, and repairs will cost you dearly. In turn, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 did an excellent job of the durability test - after 100 drops, it had only minor scratches in the corners.
2. BATTERY. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is very similar in performance to the Note 8, but it has a higher battery capacity and, therefore, lasts longer. Working hours iPhone battery The XS Max or iPhone XS have improved markedly, but they still fall short of the best results in the test for this indicator.
3. MUSIC. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 scores higher for music quality. In particular, experts liked listening to classical music with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 more than with the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS.
4. CAMERA. In the rating for the quality of photo and video shooting, five leading positions are occupied by Apple smartphones. In the first place is now the iPhone XS Max, in second - the iPhone XS. but new samsung Galaxy Note 9 lost one hundredth points to Apple products on this indicator and took 6th place. In particular, he received 0.5 points less for and for shooting with flash (photos on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 are a little darkish).
What improvements do the iPhone XS and XS Max have over the iPhone X?
As shown by the test results, the new iPhone XS and XS Max do have small improvements over the iPhone X. For example, new processor The A12 Bionic is slightly faster. The battery life of the smartphone has also improved markedly. Although they charge up to 100% as long as before (3 hours 15 minutes - XS, 3 hours 30 minutes - XS Max; iPhone X - 3 hours 15 minutes), the batteries of both models last longer than the batteries. their predecessors. For comparison, the iPhone X lasts 19 hours and 30 minutes, while the XS lasts 24 hours and 30 minutes, and the XS Max lasts 26 hours. But still, these models do not yet reach the best results in the test for this indicator.
The iPhone XS and XS Max launch video claims that the camera is better than previous iPhones. Our tests have confirmed this. In particular, when shooting with a flash, the color rendition became better in the photo: brighter and more intense. The depth of focus and sharpness can be changed after the picture is taken. The iPhone X, which took the 3rd position, and the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which took the 4th and 5th places, were also pushed aside. In addition, the sound of videos shot on new iPhones has become better: almost no extraneous noise... Compared to the iPhone X, the new products have higher marks for GPS voice navigation in cars.
The iPhone's most dramatic improvement is dual SIM support: a Nano-SIM card and an eSIM digital card. However, it is not yet possible to take advantage of the innovation - an appropriate update is required. operating system iOS. Apple should release it before the end of the year. But even after that, it will not be possible to use the second SIM-card in our country - the use of eSIM is currently prohibited at the legislative level and is not supported by Russian operators.
As for the design new iPhone products, it hasn't changed much from the design of their predecessors. The iPhone XS looks very similar to the iPhone X. Only the camera position has changed - it has shifted a few millimeters, so the iPhone X case will not fit the XS.
But the cost of smartphones has changed. For the first time in the history of iPhones, new items have not a five-figure, not a six-figure price tag. So, when the iPhone XS was released, it cost about 100 thousand rubles, the iPhone XS - about 109 thousand rubles. As stated above, you will have to purchase separately protective case... Also, the set does not include an adapter for headphones, so if you want to use headphones that are not included in the kit, you will have to additionally purchase an adapter.
Why does the iPhone XS Max score more points than the iPhone XS?
Recall that the iPhone XS Max in the top 10 best smartphones is in 2nd place, gaining 4,057 points, iPhone XS - in 3rd with 4,048 points. Where does this small gap come from? The XS Max scored better than the iPhone XS when testing metrics such as:
Internet. The speed of loading and downloading pages on the XS Max is slightly faster than on the XS.
Convenience of the camera. In particular, the shutter speed, etc. According to experts, shooting with the XS Max is more convenient than the XS (note: we are not talking about the quality of the photos taken).
Strength. Despite the fact that both smartphones failed the durability test, the XS Max performed slightly better than the XS in it.
GPS navigation. The XS Max was marginally better than the XS in an expert assessment of the quality of a standalone GPS receiver without voice guidance, and in testing the volume of the sound of GPS commands.
Very soon, the study of smartphones will be replenished with the results of tests of a new batch - the latest innovations, including the iPhone XR. We're going to evaluate whether the new LCD iPhone - Liquid Retina - is really as "advanced" and the glass front is as durable as the manufacturer claims. Expect information on the Roskachestvo website in December 2018.
Whatever it is and whatever other manufacturers think mobile devices, but it is Apple and Samsung that are the main competitors in today's mobile market phone s.
Samsung phones have practically taken on their own style, but quite often they continue to copy Apple's ideas. We will not focus on this, because absolutely all companies use ready-made solutions, and on their basis create a new product.
Ergonomics
Therefore, autonomy, depending on the capacity of the battery, may be - a draw. But, if the compared gadgets have the same battery capacity, as a result of an objective assessment it will be possible to say that the iPhone is better than Samsung GALAXY in this criterion.
Samsung wins in functionality and a slightly brighter screen, but for those who appreciate the ergonomics of the device, high-quality design, usability and good camera- you should choose exactly iPhone.
Although, what is best for you, Samsung or iPhone - you choose! 🙂
Samsun Vs Iphone. "Samsung" or "iPhone", which is better to choose, what and what is better?
