If you’ve got serious cash to spend on a top-of-the-line handset and you want the very best, you’ll soon have two options — and they’re both very special. Apple’s iPhone X is the biggest leap forward the company has taken in smartphone design since, well, it designed the modern smartphone. Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 is a return to form for our favorite supersized phablet.

There’s so much to like about both these flagships, but they’re also very different. The iPhone X lacks a fingerprint sensor, but can be unlocked with three-dimensional facial recognition. The Galaxy Note 8 has one on the back, and even though it has face unlocking technology, its front-facing camera can’t match Apple’s depth-sensing tricks. Conversely, the Note 8 has its iconic multifunctional S Pen stylus, and the iPhone doesn’t have anything of the sort. You get the idea.
In this specs comparison, we’ll run through all the strengths and weaknesses to determine an overall winner. For a deeper dive into both phones, check our iPhone X hands-on review and Galaxy Note 8 review.

While we can’t quantify that claim at the moment, there’s no doubting it’s pretty high on the list. The A11 Bionic contains six cores — two for high performance and four for high efficiency — as well as a graphics processing unit that is 30 percent faster than the one in the iPhone 7’s A10 Fusion chip. All that extra muscle is sure to help the iPhone X deliver class-leading augmented reality functionality, and drives Apple’s Face ID technology and TrueDepth camera system. As far as RAM is concerned, Apple doesn’t traditionally reveal those numbers, and has a habit of getting more performance out of less onboard memory than its Android-powered counterparts. The Galaxy Note 8, conversely, utilizes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, with an impressive 6GB of RAM. It’s a chip that has delivered smooth and consistent performance across a variety of flagship Android handsets, from HTC’s U11 to the OnePlus 5, and works wonders here as well. Having all that memory at the system’s disposal certainly helps things, and makes the Galaxy Note 8 one of the most powerful devices running Google’s platform sold in the United States. But Apple’s A10 Fusion chip in the iPhone 7 already beat out the Snapdragon 835 in several benchmark tests — it’s highly likely the A11 Bionic will surpass it completely. You won’t see performance issues on the Note 8, but Apple is clearly the winner here. Another advantage is since it’s an Apple-designed chip, it works optimized perfectly with iOS. You won’t find that kind of optimization with a Qualcomm processor on many Android phones. Both the iPhone X and Note 8 come with 64GB of storage as standard, but only the Note 8 features a MicroSD slot for extra room. Both also offer 256GB for more money, though Samsung only sells higher capacity models outside the U.S. No matter which device you choose, you’ll get Bluetooth 5.0 — the latest version of the wireless protocol offering improved range — as well as NFC for tap-and-pay transactions. The Note 8 is also compatible with legacy terminals through Samsung Pay’s exclusive MST technology. Winner: iPhone X
