            Comparsion in a nutshell, they both make pictures.

            The end

              Wouldn't say yellowish shots of iphone are more ''true to life'', no other phone, even Pixel and XZ do not produce such.

                Too much nonsense and haterism here, too little arguments.

                  My iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode and selfies are more realistic than filtered shots and fail bokeh effects of S9+ hahaha

                    Camera still isn't anywhere near the Pixel 2 camera. Thought they boasted theirs would be better than the Pixel 2.

                      Apple is still two light years behind Android flagships... it s fact, look at the samples. / of course, if you dont like this you can compare X with Android flags on 100% crop in compare tool here - rewiews/.

                            Sammy fans are the worst. Apple fans are mostly annoying in real life but they do not invade blogs and repeatedly post bogus comments.
                            If I post the daylight photos taken with the 50 best camera phones on social media. Would 99% be able to tell the difference.

                                In my opinion, the S9+ destroyed the X in every aspect, except color reproduction. Samsung is just... too vivid in this regard.

                                  samsung should seriously stop producing brush looks from selfie cam. Thats the most annoying thing in samsung. At least give users an option whether they want it or not rather than having that brush feel all the time. Even if the beauty mode is set to 0 level it still uses that in software.

                                    I like Samsung but i think iPhone X has a better camera ... it looks more natural and S9’s camera is kinda washed out and the colors are to vibrant and not accurate.

                                      Please, people. You're overly critical on phones' cameras. What do you do with your photos anyway, print them in blown up sizes? The minute differences won't matter in real life because all people ever do is post a cropped version of the image in social media sites. So really, there's no point in doing camera tests anymore, especially for zoomed in pics.
