The Samsung Galaxy S9 comes with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 845 processor, which is faster and less power-hungry than last year’s Snapdragon 835.
For all its power, the Galaxy S9 is up against a behemoth in the speed stakes.
Apple’s iPhone X is packing the company’s A11 Bionic chip and it’s lightning fast, blowing away all comers in benchmark testing.
The iPhone X only has 3GB of RAM, but iOS handles memory management differently than Android, so it doesn’t translate to inferior multitasking performance.
The Galaxy S9 offers a MicroSD card slot for easy, and potentially cheap, memory expansion of up to 400GB.
The design of the Galaxy S9 is a slight refinement on the Galaxy S8, but you could easily mistake the two phones for each other.
There’s no doubt that the iPhone X camera is superb, but we expect great things from the S9 camera. »
