6 Reasons Why iPhone X still better Galaxy S9 and S9 +

New Galaxy S9 got top-end filling and a unique camera, but in many ways it is still inferior to Apple smartphones.

1. A11 Bionic remains a powerful chip

It has become the norm that each new generation flagship is equipped with more CPU performance. So, Samsung Galaxy S9 in one of the modifications received an eight Snapdragon 845, replaced the 835-th. Qualcomm new chip has appeared among the most powerful solutions for Android, but Apple processor, in some tests, it still loses.

For example, in the benchmark Geekbench 4 multicore test Galaxy S9 +, 845 having Snapdragon, scored 8295 points. This is the best result among all the Android-smartphone, but the bar iPhone X chip A11 Bionic was higher - 10 357 points.

In practice, this advantage is very significantly when performing complex tasks, such as processing video. Here, as an example, transcoding 2-minute video from 1080p to 4K in Adobe Premiere Clip application. Galaxy S9 + c handle this task, and 2 minutes and 32 seconds, and iPhone X takes only 42 seconds.

2. Animodzi clearly superior selfimodzhi

Animodzi from Apple, mimic your facial expressions, producing a much more favorable impression than a similar solution from Samsung. Selfimodzhi on Galaxy S9 allow you to create a digital avatar that is not always the same for you. Facial expressions, he really does not pass, the number of useful settings is limited, and his movements seem unnatural.

3. Face ID remains unrivaled

iPhone face recognition technology X still is the most reliable. It is based on TrueDepth sensor system, projecting on the face over 30,000 invisible points, creating a detailed structural map. Apple is so confident in the technology that allows to use it and for payments, which can not be said about the Galaxy S9.

Samsung flagships can also identify the owner in the face, but this technology works on the basis of only one selfie camera and software algorithms. This system does not know how to study and get to know you and suddenly appeared with a beard and a scarf on the half-face. That is why this system works simultaneously with the scanner of the iris eye, although even in tandem to surpass Face ID they can not afford. This clearly demonstrates test foreign colleagues.

4. Bixby far from Siri

Apple voice assistant, of course, is not perfect. This may confirm anyone who has ever entered into an argument with him and asking tricky questions. However, there are many areas where Siri It works almost unmistakable: setting alarms, detection and typing, creating reminders. All this on the iPhone X can be done hands-free.

Assistant Bixby on flagship Samsung, though evolving, but it is still far from Siri. The range of his capabilities much already, and the Russian language, he does not want to admit it. Perhaps once it comes out on the top level of voice assistant Apple and Microsoft, but it is unlikely to be soon.

5. iPhone X has more advanced camera selfie

The above-mentioned system TrueDepth sensors in the iPhone X is intended not only to unlock the smartphone in the face, but for selfie-present magic. We are talking about self-portraits with the correct blurring the background, effects studio lighting and other amenities. Software algorithms allow you to add a frame to directional light to emphasize the contours of the face or completely darken the entire background.

Galaxy S9 got the same front-facing camera, which was at the Galaxy S8. Zamylivat background, she is also trying, but it does so much less efficiently. Radical improvement selfie module should not wait until next flagship smartphone company.

6. iOS speed out of competition updates

Galaxy S9 users out of the box receive Android Oreo, but the owners of last year's leader in some countries still have not received the update to this version of the OS. Samsung is clearly in no hurry to release updates. It is unlikely that this will change with the new "nine".

iPhone holders can be fully assured that all important bug fixes and major updates they receive in a short time. Usually fresh iOS version starts coming to the Apple smartphone in the next few days after the release. This is confirmed by the latest statistics. Even if you happen to some shoals and update is not without problems, Apple is trying to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.
