iPhone X vs. Galaxy S9+ shootout

24 March 2018
So which phone do you get when you part ways with your Google Pixel 2 XL? If you are after a great camera, chances are you are going to pick either the iPhone X or the Galaxy S9+. Well, this is exactly what happened to two of our editors.

But its hardware is only better than the iPhone X, not the Galaxy S9/S9+, and even the X has a secondary lens for superior zoom (well, I wouldn't say 2x is anything super useful, but it's better than literally nothing).

      No offense, but the Pixel 2 is still ahead in imaging capabilities than either of these two. I wouldn't recommend upgrading for the camera. You may upgrade for other specs, but the camera on the Pixel 2 is still superior. Just saying.

        In my opinion it would have been better if Pixel 2 was also included in this comparison.

          The Note8 already had an edge over the iPhone X in stills. The S9+ blows it out of the water, in both day & night. If you are testing stills, please bring the new Pixel's. Or maybe wait, until the P20 Pro arrives.

          But in video, the iPhone X is clearly better than the S9+. There is something definitely lacking in Samsung's video processing, since the last year or so... It wasn't like this earlier. Hope they fix it soon, becoz they have shown that they already have the capable hardware for it...

            Kiyasuriin, 24 Mar 2018Wow... Apple really disappoints against the S9+'s camera...... moreAnd also, one advantage that sums up the conclusion that the GALAXY S9+ is slightly better than the iPHONE X is the presence of the Pro mode, or also known as Manual Mode, because come on, not all the time Auto is perfect

                Wow... Apple really disappoints against the S9+'s camera... the vids were cool, but S9+ is the king of stills.
