Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs iPhone X: speed test

The Galaxy Note 9 has 6GB of RAM and an 8-core Snapdragon 845 with 2.7GHz. And the iPhone X has only 3GB of RAM and the A11 Bionic processor, which will soon be a year old. Accordingly, Note 9 should be faster than the iPhone X.

However, tests showed that this is not so. iPhone X was able to get ahead of Note 9 not only in the basic tasks, but also in multitasking.

In the first round, the iPhone X was much faster to download powerful applications. Note 9 it took a long time to export the video to 4K, while iPhone X coped with it as quickly as possible. In the first round, iPhone X managed in 2 minutes 26 seconds.

The second round was to launch applications from RAM, and here the iPhone X also showed itself well, although it only has 3 GB of RAM. Note 9 has as many as 6 GB of RAM, and it should load already open applications much faster, but in fact it is not. Nevertheless, Note 9 still coped with the task faster than the iPhone X, although the difference was only 3 seconds.

It's important to note that iOS 12 beta 8 was installed on iPhone X. The next version of iOS will significantly improve the performance of devices. Most likely, it was because of this that the smartphone was able to get ahead of Note 9 in most tests.

As for downloading applications, sometimes leadership took Note 9, and sometimes - iPhone X. For a smartphone, which is soon a year, the iPhone X works very well. Soon there will be an iPhone X 2018 , so compared to it, Samsung Note 9 will seem even slower.
