Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus - ULTIMATE Comparison By Mrwhosetheboss

So you're going to want to stick around for this video. We are pitching the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 head-to-head with the iPhone 7 plus watching this video from the beginning to the end you're going to find out everything you could possibly want to know about the differences between the two smartphones and the results are rather interesting. Interestingly enough, when compared to the galaxy s, 8, plus the Galaxy Note 8 is not only wider, but also thicker and heavier, which means that, despite those really slim down bezels, this is a large phone. In almost every aspect. Now you might be thinking if this phone is already larger than the large galaxy s 8 plus, but I'm going to have no chance being able to hold it in one hand, but actually there have been some subtle design. Tweaks things like the edges and the corners have actually been further smoothed down.

It fits into the palm a little better, and I'd say that if you could use the s8 plus comfortably, you can use this one just fine. The note 8 is in case with two slabs of Gorilla Glass 5, protecting both the front and the back of the phone. It is also far more resistant to scratches than the screen on the iPhone, which, to be honest, undoubtedly after a bit of usage you're going to be able to tell, whereas this one should hold up a little better. The one thing to bear in mind about the finish, especially compared to the iPhone 7 plus, is that it does attract fingerprints. It is a comfortable and drippy phone.

Don't get me wrong. It just sometimes feels a little annoying, knowing that when you put the phone down, it's not gonna, look as good as when you picked it up so right. On the other end of the spectrum, the iPhone 7 is encased in 7000 series, aluminum, a material which is just as beautiful as it is strong. Ever since the iPhone 6 plus started bending Apple went completely in the opposite direction, and this is a very, very solid phone. It also feels great.

The material has a soft to the touch mapped finish, which doesn't attract fingerprints and is quite drippy at just 7.3 millimeters thick, the iPhone 7 plus is the slimmer of the two smartphones, quite noticeably so when you're holding it in the hand, whilst both phones definitely do feel comfortable to hold due to their nicely curved sides. For me personally, I just feel like these soft matte finish on the iPhone feels a little more refined now, ironically, even though the note 8 has about eight different ways to enter your smartphone, none of them seem to do as good a job as the fingerprint scanner or touch ID as they call it on the iPhone 7 plus. It is fast, responsive, easy to feel for an extremely secure in terms display. There is much less of a close competition here. The Galaxy Note 8 sports, a six point: three inch: twenty-nine sixty by 1440 Super AMOLED panel and holding the two phones side-by-side, the iPhone.

Pretty much gets blitzed nine times out of ten. Now you could argue, the iPhone does have a slightly more natural color palette, and it's got less saturated colors on purpose, but for the majority of users when I've sort of gone out and asked people which one they prefer immediately save the galaxy. Now the FN seven plus has a 5.5 inch 1080p panel, which, by this dn8, has become the industry standard for a mid-range smartphone, which is to say it's perfectly passable as a resolution. But upon inspecting finer text you can start to see a bit of pix elation which, when you turn the Galaxy Note 8 resolution up, you really don't have that problem. Now.

The display technology here is an LED backlit, LCD. This is not only an older technology, but it's also presented in a far more archaic manner. The seven pluses display is encased in thick bezels on the top bottom and both sides. In fact, the side bezels here are significant enough to make the seven plus a wide a smartphone, both of the devices have really bright displays. You're, not gonna, have a problem, viewing them indoors or outdoors, even in broad daylight.

The Galaxy Note 8 has a rather impressive dual camera setup. Both of these have a 12 megapixel resolution and the default camera has an F 1.7 aperture. Now this compares to an F 1.8 on the iPhone, and what that essentially means is that when we hit lower lighting conditions, the note 8 holds up a little better detail has retained better color, stay sharp and there's much less noise in the photos, because both ferns actually have a dual 12 megapixel setup in terms of detail, they're more or less on par. The note 8 captures far more vibrant colors, more contrast in the shots, but that's not necessarily a good or a bad thing. The iPhone captures natural photos and, of course, the colors, in contrast, could be adjusted afterwards in terms of the both mode or live focus as Samsung calls.

If I'd say Samsung just about wins. In this case, it just seems to be a little better at testing orders in the foreground and what is in the background, unfortunately, when we hit low lighting condition the both mode on both of these phones Falls straight through the roof. Now, under the hood, the Galaxy Note 8 is very, very powerful. We've got either the Enos 1895. Well, the Snapdragon 835, depending on your region, combined with six gigabytes of RAM Samsung's, most powerful smartphone.

Yet using the phone with Android, 7.1.1 pre-installed feels very snappy, very responsive and, whilst now testing the firm, the an tutu scores are all over the place when the software becomes a little more mature, we'll be expecting it to home. In around 180,000 flicking over to the iPhone 7 plus, we have Apple's quad-core a10 fusion, combined with 3 gigabytes of RAM, which sounds meager in comparison. We'd, be amazed how close the scores still are in terms of app loading speeds both are more or less on the same level in terms of how quickly they can open apps, but, unfortunately, iOS is a little let down by the speed of its transitions and for me, while using the phone I couldn't help but feel like. Sometimes it gets in the way of itself. Apple's focus on these buttery smooth transitions sometimes actually makes the process a little slower.

So, whether you're in the settings, whether you're bringing up your keyboard, is actually quite a bit of waiting to do with the iPhone 7 plus, even though it has the potential to run things much faster now, gaming on the iPhone 7 plus, as do the no tape before it is absolutely fantastic. To be honest, it feels like smartphone games haven't got to the point where they can push either of these phones to their true limit. The same is true for the UI. Both phones absolutely fly through it, and surprisingly, even with 3 gigabytes of RAM. The 7 plus has no problem whatsoever with multitasking.

So, whilst the note 8 does benchmark higher the difference, you feel between the speeds of the two phones will not really be down to the components inside more the differences in transitions or the way the operating systems function, unfortunately, is something. I was really hoping for. With the note, 8 was a revamp of the galaxy s 8 speaker and this didn't occur. There is a single mono speaker, firing downwards from the smartphone and all in all, it doesn't exactly feel like a premium. Audio experience.

Sound is fairly crisp, but it's not particularly loud and lacks almost any sign of bass. Unfortunately, for Samsung in this category, Apple takes it by a very long way. The iPhone 7, plus with its speaker, located on the bottom right, combined with the earpiece on top, which is amplified and works with that speaker to create this sort of stereoscopic audio effect is way better. It is louder, bass, ear and vocals come out clearer, there's just no competition, so then there's iOS and to be honest, I could spend an entire video covering the differences between the two but my main takeaways are. This iOS feels like a little more of a tactile experience, you'll notice things like subtle vibrations, when a notification by its the bot when you max out your volume bar for example, things like the force touch mean you have a 3d element to your display as very well-thought-out.

The way the front icon that you've actually selected comes into focus and the background is blurred feels natural, and it works well. Having said that, compared to the vast customization, you can do on the Galaxy Note 8. There's barely anything to do here, apart from being able to rearrange your icons also can't help but feel that some tasks, such as changing a wallpaper just take a little too long and are a bit too hidden in menus, and so I think in terms of ease of customization, as well as the depth. The note 8 wins by a mile. Having said that, iOS has its own advantages.

Not only is it arguably, in almost all cases, an easier operating system to use, especially for first-time smartphone users, but the controlled nature of the iOS ecosystem means that iPhones tend to stay up to date. So, even two, three more years down the line, the 7 plus, is still likely to have the latest software. That won't be the case with the Samsung. Another thing worth bearing in mind is that if you have other Apple products or if a lot of the people you interact with, have Macs and iPads, the iPhone fits quite neatly into that ecosystem. The iPhone is a small part designed to work perfectly in this larger ecosystem and Android doesn't really have that same feel about it in terms of battery, while the iPhone 7 plus does have a far smaller capacity.

It manages it much better with moderate usage, you'll be able to get yourself about a day and a half of usage, and more than likely considering the note.8 actually has almost a surprisingly small 3300 William hour battery, combined with that giant, screen, s-pen and powerful components to run the oven, 7 plus, is almost definitely going to hold its battery longer, but unfortunately, the earthing 7 plus, is just so slow at charging. Compared to the note 8, the Apple goes from bought to 100 and just over three hours, whereas the Samsung can do something similar in about 80 minutes. The iPhone 7 plus is available in 32 128 and 256 gigabyte variants and with these phones, unlike the note 8, there is no SD card support which, for some people are going to be a huge dealbreaker, because these extra storage upgrades cost a lot of money. Now the base model of the note 8 is actually quite a bit more expensive than the base model of the iPhone 7 plus, but that shouldn't allow me too much because this starts at 64 gigabytes. It then goes to 128 and then 256 and all of these models support micro, SD cards.

Samsung has done a pretty good job, getting the note 8 up to the IP 60, a standard which means it's completely resistant against dust and enough against water. So you can feel comfortable taking it to the bathroom or taking it to the beach. In this category, the iPhone 7 plus really starts to show its age with only an ip67 rating. It can withstand a splash or perhaps a drop in some water, but Apple really doesn't recommend you go swimming with it. Now, to top the note 8 off we have the S Pen and, to be honest, there is no iPhone equivalent to this.

Now there will definitely be some people who are looking at this and thinking. Why not do I need a stylus for my smartphone and those are the kind of people who might be better off with the Galaxy S 8 plus the S Pen has huge amounts of functionality, especially in the note 8. So if you're not going to use it, it seems a bit of a shame because in the end it's resulted in a thicker phone with a smaller battery. So that is most of the comparison, and what is interesting here is that both phones are really trading blows. This is not as clear-cut as I would have expected, given the notated release a whole year after the iPhone 7 plus.

Nonetheless, there are some very compelling reasons to own the iPhone /, the Android, so, for example, its integration with other Apple products is something that cannot be replicated. It is easier to use. Has a premium soft matte finish longer battery life touch ID, which is a far better way of entering the phone than anything. The note 8 does, and a much better audio system in terms of the Galaxy Note 8 has got a better display in almost every single aspect. It's got a very slight edge and speed, and the camera is quite a bit nicer.

The S Pen is obviously something which is completely different to anything. The iPhone can do, and it's also quite a bit more resistant to water, so guys I really hope you enjoy the video. If you did, it would mean so much to me. If you could smash that subscribe button, it would have been said ? to you, the boss, and I'm Sonia.
