Apple recently launched its new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus handsets. We have already seen a number of videos of the two handsets and also some benchmarks for the devices. Now we have a video of the iPhone 8 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the two handsets go head to head in a number of speed tests in a video from SuperSaf TV.
Performance Comparison
It will be interesting to see how the two smartphones perform side by side and which one of these two flagships ends up being faster. The iPhone 8 Plus is powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip, which is known for its impressive performance and efficiency. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor (or Exynos 8895 in some regions), which is also a top-tier processor in the Android ecosystem.
As we can see from the video, the iPhone 8 Plus appears to be faster than the Note 8 in a number of the tests. Although the iPhone 8 Plus appears to have to reload a number of apps, this means that the Samsung device is more efficient with its RAM management. The Note 8 comes with 6GB of RAM compared to the 3GB of RAM in the iPhone 8 Plus, which could explain the difference in app reloading times.
Additional Features and Considerations
Beyond raw performance, there are other factors to consider when comparing these two flagship devices. The iPhone 8 Plus features a 5.5-inch Retina HD display, while the Galaxy Note 8 boasts a larger 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a higher resolution. This makes the Note 8 a better choice for those who prioritize screen quality and size.
In terms of camera capabilities, both phones offer dual-camera setups with optical image stabilization. The iPhone 8 Plus has a 12MP wide-angle and telephoto lens, while the Note 8 also features a dual 12MP camera system. However, the Note 8 includes additional features such as Live Focus, which allows users to adjust the bokeh effect before and after taking a photo.
Battery life is another crucial aspect. The iPhone 8 Plus has a 2,691mAh battery, whereas the Note 8 is equipped with a 3,300mAh battery. Despite the larger battery, the Note 8’s battery life may not be significantly better due to its larger and higher resolution display, which consumes more power.
Both devices support wireless charging, but the iPhone 8 Plus uses the Qi standard, which is widely adopted, while the Note 8 supports both Qi and PMA standards, offering more flexibility.
In terms of software, the iPhone 8 Plus runs on iOS 11, which is known for its smooth user experience and regular updates. The Note 8 runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box, with an update to Android 8.0 Oreo available. Android offers more customization options, but iOS is often praised for its stability and security.
