The iPhone X is the main rival of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It is a very daring device, with very interesting specifications and a premium design. But the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is too. We show you five features and functions of this device that undoubtedly stand up to the iPhone X, and that may be reasons to decide on the Samsung device.
Screen: same resolution, different format
Without a doubt, the iPhone X has a screen with very good specifications. 5.8-inch OLED panel with QHD resolution, without frames and with a very good color calibration. Although according to a technical analysis by DisplayMate, it says that the iPhone X has the best screen on the market. The truth is that the Note 8 is in some ways better. Therefore, it is one of the most important points.
The difference is not in the resolution, but in the size of the screen. The Note 8 is 6.3 inches, while the iPhone is 5.8 inches. On the other hand, the screen of the Korean device has a format of 18.5: 9, with hardly any upper and lower frames, and to this, we have to add the curved panel. On the other hand, the iPhone X does not have frames, but there is a "˜entrejo" ™ in the upper area, which takes away our experience when viewing multimedia content in full screen. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a very colorful SuperAMOLED panel, and with a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels.
S pen, the great star of the Galaxy Note 8
Another thing that the iPhone X does not have and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the S pen. Samsung, from the beginning of the Note range, has incorporated a digital pen that has been improving until it reaches the last Note on the market. The S pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 allows us to perform very interesting functions, such as the possibility of translating text, sending messages or cartoons, creating notes on the screen off, etc. In addition, the S pen has hundreds of precision points, so when writing with the pencil, we will not have any problems. The iPhone X does not include a digital pen.
Dex, another differential feature of Samsung
Samsung Dex is a component used to transform the Galaxy Note 8 into a desktop computer. We just need Dex, a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. By coupling the device to the component through the micro USB connection, the interface adapts to computer mode, and we can open different applications and services. Without a doubt, a very differential point in a device. Also, it is a feature that the iPhone X.
Similar price, but with more offers on the Galaxy Note 8
The difference between the price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone X is not much. Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 costs approximately 50 euros less. But we must stand out in the offers. Android devices tend to have more offers on different portals. At Amazon we can already buy it for about 830 euros. On the other hand, we will hardly see offers of the iPhone X, since it is sold even more expensive in some portals as it is a terminal with more limited units.
Storage: iPhone X with two versions, Note 8 with micro SD
The truth is that both devices have a common storage version. We are talking about the 64 GB version. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 only has this version available, but it includes support for micro SD with a capacity of up to 2 TB. The iPhone X does not include support for micro SD. Although it has a 256GB version, this is much more expensive than the Note 8.
