              iPhone XS cannot display 1440p and it has a notch. its a bad display.

Curved edges depends on user preference and personally I hate curved edges. Iphone xs max only struggled with 4gb ram when so many apps were opened simultaneously and obviously 12gb ram on the note would fare better. But for normal usage, people don't use and switch over dozens of apps simultaneously. For normal usage 4gb ram does give fast and smooth performance

Only Apple fanboys claimed otherwise. iPhone XS display was manufactured by Samsung aswell, but it was a cheaper unit with less resolution, no curved edges and bad ppi. Apple did not really improve anything, they only decided on some settings, for example natural colors. But Samsung could do that themselves on their own devices if they really wanted.
                  Both Android and iOS are running smooth with 4GB RAM in 2019. Having more than 8GB RAM makes no difference as of right now. The problem is that 4GB RAM is the minimum now, for both Android and iOS. In the future it might not be enough. In speed tests, iPhone XS Max already struggled at multitasking with 4GB RAM.

                    Boronator, 15 Sep 2019Dude, I don't know from where you got your prices. I've che... moreSamsung did make the oled screen but apple improved it further. Read every review especially on this website on the xs oled screen and it will state clearly that it's better than the oled screen on the s9 as apple added some improvements. Yes prices vary and even now if u walk into any tesco mobile store, the price is still retailing at 780. Yes it can be had cheaper in other places but point is still valid for that price and only 4gb ram on Base model. Android os is more ram hungry as several of Google services running in the background do use high ram so manufacturers do add more ram to their phones. and 4gb on iphones is plenty as iphones don't suffer from same problem. If android os was less memory hungry then android phones would also have roughly 4gb ram just like the s9 did last year. Your argument would be justified if 4gb ram wasn't enough to keep everything running fast and smooth. But wait for the review and u will know that 4gb ram is definitely enough for a smooth experience

                      kalel, 14 Sep 2019Here in the UK the s9 was retailing for £900 on relea... moreDude, I don't know from where you got your prices. I've checked the launch prices in UK of s9 and s9+ and 4 UK sites saying consistent "So now what about the price? The S9 will be £739 and the S9+ will be £869. So still cheaper than the iPhone X!"
                      So s9+ launch price was £870 and s9 £739. Even if you compared s9+ it had 128GB base storage and 6GB of RAM... And still cheaper than 1k. I don't know how the iPhone got better amoled display, when Samsung made it.

Do you really believe that the modems are going to appear for the shake of magic in an instant? The 5G standard has been developed for years, the hardware is ready and only some tweaks could be done only if something not expected appears in the test, if not, if it's all according as how it was designed the 5G is already ready and the hardware too. For that reason there are already products cerfitied under that standard.

                        And Apple will arrive late in the second half of the next year, If they release something after only few months from now, the rage from the customers that bought the iPhone 11 series could be epic. About all knowing how overpriced they are.

                            Apple are releasing another 4G phone in a 5G world.
                            Those Android 5G owner don't have to worry their phone is updated as it will be minor

                            All Apple have done is minor tweak the 4G handset which can be upgraded to 5G

                            As I have already said 4G speed cannot and will not be network increased, 4G won't come close to 5G speed

                            5G is a combination between handset and network buying yet another 4G is not a valid argument to make as it essential delayed 5G until 2021 for those on a 2 year contract 2021 indeed maybe the first real date where there is a burning desire to upgrade

                            Still after 11 years iPhone owner accept that there is still no memory expansion so the higher memory costs $100 extra

                            The iPhone 6 came 2 years after the iPhone 5, Apple went from a 4 inch display to 4.7 inches
                            Apple main upgrade to the iPhone 6 was to add Apple pay
                            https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6378&idPhone2=4910

                            Anyone on a 2 year contract simply received the same phone with a larger display

                            I expect that this will repeated in 2020 the 5G modem being the main upgrade then a bade memory tweak battery tweak A14 SoC all in all another consumer overcharge

                                Anonymous, 14 Sep 2019Yes I remember iPhone users say 256mb ram is enough for IOS.If 256MB of ram works perfectly well 10 years ago. Why do you think a 4GB ram runs flawlessly on a 512GB iphone or an ipad? While the android version requires 8GB of ram to run a 512GB android smartphone?

And like I said before you used more than 1 android handsets to satisfy your needs. But what about the others who only owns one, and what about the others who've only bought a brand new android smartphone, only to get issues later on especially with the display or other hardware/software related issues? And from the recent experienced that I've got on finding a good third party repair centers. Getting a replacement part for a damaged android smartphone component is hard. Especially if the smartphone that you used is a low or mediocre smartphone. While the software issues like the ghost touch, touch lag, and even screen freeze is not always repair-able if there's no fix to it. Of course anything is possible if you live in a right country. But what about those people who don't?

How can you use the phone if the screen has frozen? Since you've only mentioned the camera, the storage and even the ram. How good is the battery after heavy usage, Water or dust resistant(I always accidentally dropped my phone on a bucket-full of water whenever I'm in the comfort room), or even the low volume bug after android Q update? With these issues. I just gave up and get the galaxy note 8. Imagine, I've spend more money on trading and buying new android handsets compared to 1 refurbished iphone 7 plus?
                                        It's good for you and the others if you don't experienced my problems on using android smartphones. But for some like me. Who experienced these kind of issues with android brands. How do you expect us not to complaint if the brand new android smartphone that we get have manufacturing defects? It is good that you can return it. But not everyone can return their brand new handsets and expect a full refund.
