Galaxy Note 9 vs iPhone Xs Max - Full Comparison By sakitech

Hey there our sake here from sake taken in today's video. We are going to do a full comparison between the iPhone 10s max versus a Samsung Galaxy note 9. Now the glossy note 9 was released in August 2000 18, while the iPhone 10s max in September 2018. Currently, they are both the best each company has to offer now Apple and Samson dominate the smartphone market, and they're the biggest rivals. As such people quickly ask questions, questions such as is the iPhone 10s max better than the Galaxy Note 9, or is the Galaxy Note 9 better than the iPhone 10s max and of course, the most popular request of all just tell me, which one is better and of course that's exactly what I'm going to tell you in this video by doing your full side by side comparison of every aspect of these smartphones. So let's dive in and discover the winner, also throughout the video I, will refer to the iPhone 10s max as the max for the sake of ease.

Now the very first thing I want to take a look at is the build and design so both the iPhone 10s max and the note 9 have a similar, build quality front and back you will find glass on both smartphones with a solid metal band around the edges. This makes for a high-end build. Therefore, both smartphones feel like a million dollars when you hold them in your hands. Now, when you move on to the design is where things differ, they both have massive frontal displays and they both look gorgeous note.9 has a large and tall display that dominates the screen, leaving tiny bezels on the top and the bottom, while the iPhone Max strives to fill the entire front with a screen almost succeeding, except for that notch. On the front that has been a topic of controversy, some people don't care about the notch while others simply don't like it.

Now, you will observe that the bezels on the side of the note 9 are actually thinner, and it sports the signature dual curve edge design. All in all, I must say that the design is a subjective choice, but, in my opinion, note 9 still seems to pull ahead. It seems more clean in overall presentation from the front. This slight lead could have been possibly avoided if the iPhone max had somehow eliminated that notch. On the top.

Now both smartphones come with water resistance, with the exact same water resistance rating of ip68 rest assured, both phones can easily handle a rainy day or an accidental drop into a puddle of water. Both smartphones offer high quality stereo speakers that produce a loud, deep and rich sound perfect for watching movies and videos. Now the note line takes a lead in audio options by offering a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, while the iPhone max does not. So. To summarize, the note: 9 has a slight lead in this category.

It does have a 3.5, millimeter, headphone jack and a cleaner look overall and of course, the build quality on both of these smartphones is well done, and both smartphones give the end user a premium in hand feel anyway. Let's move on to the processor memory and storage, the iPhone map sports, a powerful a12 Bionic processor, with 4 gigabytes of RAM and can be acquired with 64 gigabytes of storage for the base model, with available 256 gigabytes or 512 gigabyte storage model options, starting price for the max is $1100. The Galaxy Note line also sports, a powerful processor, a Snapdragon, 845 CPU, or an excellence 9810 variant in non-us markets with 6 gigabytes of RAM. On the base, 128 gigabyte model note 9 is also available in a 5 on a 12 gigabyte storage option with 8 gigabytes of RAM starting price. For the note, 9 is $1000 in the storage race, not nine pulls ahead, both in bay storage capacity and the ability to expand your storage using a micros expansion slot using a micros card, you can add 512 gigabytes of extra storage to the note 9.

Now, if you move onto the benchmarks, it is immediately clear that the iPhone 10 max has quite a bit of raw horsepower that kind of blows expectations. The note 9 is not a slow phone by any means, but iPhones 812 Bionic chip has accomplished some incredible power output, which does come in handy for heavy-duty apps and highly graphic intensive games that run with zero stutter. Although iPhone max has incredible processing power, the note 9 counters that, with more and better storage solutions, this category is an overall draw. Now, let's talk about the dimensions, so the iPhone max measures, 150 7.5, millimeters in height, 77.4, millimeters, wide and 7 point 7, millimeters thick. It weighs 208 grams, the note 9 measures, 160 1.9 meters in height, seventy-six point, four millimeters wide and 8.8 millimeters thick. It weighs 201 grams.

Both smartphones have similar dimensions overall, but in this day and age, dimensions and weight don't seem to have much of an influence on buying decisions. So, let's move on to a much more important category to display. Let's talk about that. The iPhone max has a 6.5 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 12 42 by 2688, with 458 pixels per inch --is. The note 9 has a six point.

Four inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 by 2960, with 521 pixels per inch, as both smartphones support HDR. Now both of these smartphones have fantastic displays that looks stunning from every angle: they're, not dull, they're, vibrant. The note line is sharp and clear and is slightly more saturated. The iPhone Max is sharp and clear, as well with less saturation but better color accuracy. Overall, I cannot really recommend one over the other as they both look very clean and crispy.

The only thing I will say is that it feels more immersive to watch movies in full screen on the note 9, as opposed to the iPhone 10 max, because the notch seems to bite into the video from the left side, but I will still consider this category a draw top-notch. Large and high-quality displays either way. So, unless you simply do not prefer the notch, this category should not influence your buying decision. Let's move on and talk about the software another very important category. Let's start with the basics.

The Galaxy Note 9 runs on the latest version of Android, while the iPhone Max runs on the latest version of when comparing iOS and android it's hard not to overlook two big differences. Number one is customization. Android system is a much more open-ended environment and allows for extensive customization via visits, themes and home screen. Tweaking you can tweak an Android smartphone to fit your personal sense of style. Io's.

On the other hand, when it comes to home screens, is just a static grid of app icons, with very basic customization capabilities such as being able to change your wallpaper. On the other hand, iOS does offer more polished, apps and a greater gaming experience just about every game on the iPhone Macs, including graphically demanding games, will run at maximum performance with smooth and lag free, gameplay, a feat Galaxy, Note 9 won't be able to match. Additionally, the Apple App Store does yield a larger number of quality apps as opposed to the Google Play Store. So if you care about apps and games and how well they perform, this is certainly something to pay very close attention to beyond those two differences. The note 9 is certainly more productive and feature-rich in the software department.

It allows for split-screen multitasking, which means you can run two windows side-by-side at the same time and the larger display on the note 9 certainly enhances the whole multitasking experience. The non-line also has the edge functionality. You can swipe inwards from the edges of the display to bring up the edge panels. These edge panels can give you access to F shortcuts weather widgets tools such as a compass or a digital ruler, a calculator and much more. On top of that, it is fully customizable.

You can actually add or remove a bunch of panels based on your needs as a counter-attack, the iPhone max does have 3d touch, which is a pressure-sensitive screen that allows you to access quick actions and other gestures by pressing down on the screen, with a certain amount of pressure, not a bad feature but rarely used. But, of course, the note 9 re counters with the S Pen, which is a fantastic tool designed to offer precision, note-taking and sketching on your note, 9. Yes, you can literally draw a masterpiece. If you have the skill and patience for it, additionally, you get access to unique s-pen software functions such as the Circa menu that could boost productivity and, frankly, is simply cool, so the S Pen doesn't just allow you to write and sketch. It also adds a good amount of suffer functionality to your device, so it is clear from everything.

I mentioned that the Gaussian outline is more customizable feature rich and productive. Overall, however, where Apple wins is the app ecosystem, which is no joke. Like I said, the Apple app store will offer superb gaming experience and provide more polished and quality apps in comparison to the Google Play Store for app driven people. This might be important enough to stick with Apple. Now, let's move on and talk about the camera.

So let's look at the specs. Both smartphones have a dual camera system on the rear. iPhone max has a 12 megapixel primary wide-angle camera with an aperture of f11 7. The secondary camera is a 12 megapixel telephoto camera with an aperture of f/4. The note line also has a primary 12 megapixel camera that comes with a dual aperture of f15 and f2 point for the secondary camera is similar to the iPhone Max.

It's a 12, megapixel telephoto camera with an aperture of f2 of the primary cameras are quite capable. They take stunning daytime shots and produce a clear and sharp image. Anyone when it comes to nighttime, they both take amazing nighttime shots. Now this is all with the primary camera. The secondary telephoto camera on both smartphones is designed, especially for two times optical zoom, and being able to take nice portrait photos that will keep your face in sharp focus while blurring the background to create the both effect.

When we move onto the video recording the iPhone 10 max and note, 9 are capable of some amazing things. They can record at 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per second and can also record in 4k at 30 or 60 frames per second. However, the note 9 takes a lead in slow motion. Recording it can now record at 960 frames per second slow motion speeds, as opposed to the iPhone 10 max is 240 frames per second. This super slow motion allows you to capture some really incredible moments.

If you are into this kind of videography now the front cameras on both smartphones take great selfies and are perfect for video, forcing in this category. The note 9 takes a slight lead due to its super slow motion recording capability. However, for an average consumer that mostly takes photos and straight videos, both phones offer a very attractive package that will not disappoint and will offer sharp and clear photos in varying lighting conditions. So, let's move on to the battery. So the note 9 has a longer battery life after a full charge.

It has a massive 4,000 William hours battery capacity as opposed to iPhone maxes 3000 174 William hours. Battery capacity, iPhone max does offer a full day battery life with medium to heavy use. But if you watch too many movies or play too many games, it won't last you all day, but the note 9 will give you a solid full day with heavy use without a problem, movies and games included. Now both the iPhone Max and a note line offer wireless charging using the same standard, which is fantastic. Now the note line has fast wired charging out of the box with the included charging adapter.

However, the iPhone max will require you to purchase the fast charging compatible wall adapter. If you wish to utilize that fast charging option, so that's going to be an extra cost with the iPhone, but it's going to be free with the note 9, but regardless both phones do offer fast wired charging option. Now in this category the note 9 leads in overall battery life, and it has the fast wired charger included with your purchase. So the note 9 does take a bit of a lead here. Now, let's move on and talk about, biometrics and security.

Now in this category the note 9 leads in overall tech. It has three ways to unlock your smartphone, a fingerprint sensor, an iris scanner and a basic facial recognition tool. The iPhone max has only one way to unlock your smartphone. The face ID now the face ID on the iPhone Max is far superior to the facial recognition tool found on the note.9 even Samsung doesn't recommend using the facial recognition tool on the note 9 as a reliable security measure, so we could potentially discard that option on the note 9. So what we have is an iPhone max with a state-of-the-art face, ID system versus the note 9, with a state-of-the-art iris recognition tool, plus the proven fingerprint sensor.

So, as I said, the note line does have more options on the table. So the win goes to the note 9 in this category. Now, let's talk about pricing, and then we will tie it all. In a conclusion, the note 9 has an official price of $1,000 for the 128 gigabyte model and the iPhone 10 Mac starts at $1,100 for the 64 gigabyte model. You could also buy a note 9 with 512 gigabyte model, which will cost you a whopping $1,250, but if you try to buy the same 512 gigabyte capacity with the iPhone max, that is going to cost you a massive $1,450.

So the note 9 definitely has a lead in pricing and storage anyway. Finally, it's time for us to define the winner in this battle. Alright, so it is clear that both smartphones are technological marvels. As a tech package, they offer a lot of value. The note 9 retains the headphone jack in my opinion, has a cleaner design and gives you more biometric security options.

It also has a completely unique S Pen option that is unmatched by any other company, adding a whole new dimension of functionality. To the note 9, the note 9 also has the Samsung DEX capability, which converts your smartphone into a full-fledged PC. If you so desire on the flip side, the iPhone Max only has one advantage that is superior to the note 9. It has a powerful processor, the 12, otherwise they both have wireless charging. They offer the same ip68 grade water resistance and as for the display, they both offer massive and top-notch displays, in any case, looking at all the metrics and seeing how the note 9 has more technological advantages or the iPhone Max, it is easy to conclude that the note 9 is the better smartphone, also starting at a lower price.

With a higher base storage note 9 comes closer to a perfect smartphone as a total package, it's very important to state that the note 9 is not very far ahead of the iPhone Max since the iPhone Max is also ripe with the latest technologies, but the note 9 does have extra features, and especially it has the utility of the S Pen. So if someone just simply asks me, the question which one is better I am compelled to say that the note 9 based on facts, but if someone asks me which one is better for me, then I might end up asking you a few questions to see which one might fit your needs better. But that brings me to the end of this video. So let me know down below which phone do you prefer and why and whether do you agree with my conclusion, alright so make sure to subscribe to sake, tech, give this video a thumbs up and also, if you do use Twitter or Instagram, follow me on both at Sakai tech online guys have a fantastic day.
