So you are testing a brand new phone with one from last year. No wonder it will be faster. The test should be with the iPhone 11 Pro

    Not a fan of apple but why would anyone compare a latest flagshop phone with a generation old phone.

          Anonymous, 30 Aug 2019yes and a few months later the snapdragon 865 will crush a13 except that snapdragon will not crush apple's chip as they are dependant on what price the manufacturer wants, while apple can freely make more expensive chips with custom architecture.

              No compersion with iphone dude wait 10 September dad is coming
              Compare with new one note 10+ and iPhone new flagship
              Xs Max is one year old and !note 10 recently launched so it’s not fair
              Lots of difference between both devices application deference customization is better in iphone heavy apps

                        Anonymous, 31 Aug 2019You are totally missing the point. It is not about comparin... moreBigger RAM costs more money that will make iPhones skyrocket in prices!! It is not like you can't optimise the OS for 12 GB RAM while you can for 1GB and 2GB RAM!! iPhone loyalists perennially oblivious to many fantastic options outside of their famous ecosystem, and I won't blame Apple for that

                          Do the same test after an Year. You will know who is the real champion. Android and Samsung sucks after using somedays. Laggy...... laggy ......

                            Useless compare. The new iPhone 11 series and Mate 30 series is the competitor of Note 10 series. Not the older 11 months phone. Their release date is just seperated by 1-2 months.

                              It's good that Samsung latest gadget finally is able to beat iPhone.

                              But how good this news is if a latest gadget is able to beat nearly a year old device? Is it something to be proud of?

                              If one really looks at Apple phones, it will always say - fastest iPhone till now (it compares it with previous versions). It will never say better than any Android.

                              On other hand Samsung is always out to compare itself with Apple iPhone ( even if it's a year old) that's not a good idea. What will happen when new iPhone is released?

                              I think rather than comparisons, they should focus on talking about user experience. Again by adding tons of repetitive and useless features doesn't mean productive.

                              No phone is perfect. only the user knows how to use it perfectly to suit his/her needs.

                                  Anyway, that's the SD 855 variant of Note10+, the Exynos variant got beaten, so Samsung is doing better with Qualcomm's chip than their own Exynos chip, what a joke.

                                    NipponFan, 30 Aug 201912gb ram vs 4 wowdoes it matter? both are flagship, blame apple for charging more for that 4GB of ram.

                                    Only fault here is iphone XS is almost a generation older.

                                      Iphone xs max is a last year flagship apple phone, wait for the iphone 11 max/pro

Kudos to Samsung for putting enough RAM in their devices to compete with Apple.

                                        This is a battle between flagships, not 12 GB vs 4 GB RAM.
