Galaxy S9+ Plus vs iPhone Xs Max - Full Comparison By sakitech

Hey there Saki her from sake check it in today's video we're going to do a full comparison between the iPhone 10s max versus the Samsung Galaxy s 9, plus now the galaxy s 9 plus was released in March 2018, while the iPhone 10s max in September 2018. These are two of the most popular smartphones in the world. As such people quickly asked questions. Questions such as is the iPhone max better than the galaxy s 9 plus, or is the galaxy s 9, plus better than the iPhone 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 a full, side-by-side comparison of every aspect of these smartphones. So, let's dive in and discover the winner throughout this video I will refer to the iPhone 10s max as the max for the sake of ease. So the first thing I'll take a look at is the build and design so both the iPhone Max and the s9 plus 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. When you move on to the design is where things differ, they both have massive frontal displays and they both look gorgeous s9 plus 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. Now some people embrace the notch, while others simply don't like it.

You will observe that the bezels on the side of the s 9 plus, 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, the s 9 plus still seems to pull ahead. It seems more clean in overall presentation from the front now. This slight lead could have been possibly avoided if the iPhone max had somehow eliminated that notch on the top, which does serve a major function known as the face ID, which we will talk about later now. Both smartphones come with water resistance capability 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 also offer high quality stereo speakers that produce a loud, deep and rich sound, perfect for watching movies and videos. S 9 plus takes a lead in audio options by offering a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, while the iPhone max does not so. To summarize, s9 + certainly has a slight lead in this category. It does have a 3.5, millimeter, headphone jack and a cleaner look overall, although the build is equally well done on both smartphones, giving the end user a premium in hand feel now. Let's move on to the processor memory and storage, the iPhone Mac sports, a powerful, a 12 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.

The starting price for the max is $1100 the galaxy s, 9 plus also sports, a powerful processor, a Snapdragon 845 CPU, or an TO nose, 9810 variant in nine US markets with six gigabytes of RAM on the base.64 gigabyte model s9 plus, will also be available in a 128 gigabyte or 256 gigabyte storage option starting price for the s9 plus comes in at a lower price point of 740 dollars in the storage race. S9 + pulls ahead due to its ability to expand your storage using a micros expansion slot using a micros card. You can add 5 on 12 gigabytes of extra storage on the s9 +, and if you prefer to have internal storage, you can easily upgrade to the 256 gigabyte version for a relatively lower price of 860 dollars, as opposed to iPhone maxes 1000, one hundred dollars for 64 gigabyte only storage option. Now, if you move on to the benchmarks, it is immediately clear that the iPhone max has quite a bit of raw horsepower. That kind of blows expectations, galaxy s, 9 plus, is not a slow phone by any means, but iPhones a12 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 the iPhone max has incredible processing power, the s9 plus counters, that with better storage solutions at a lower price point, this category is an overall draw. Let's talk about the dimensions, so the iPhone max measures, 157 point five millimeters in height, seventy-seven point four millimeters wide and seven point: seven millimeters thick: it weighs 208 grams, the galaxy s, 9, plus measures, 158 point, one millimeter in height, 78.3, millimeters, wide and eight point: five millimeters thick. It weighs 189 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. However, the slightly more narrow frame of the s 9 plus, makes it easier to hold in one hand.

Now, let's move on to something more important, the actual display. Let's talk about the display, the iPhone max has a 6.5 inch, Super AMOLED display with the resolution of 12 42 by 2688, with 458 pixels per inch --is. The s9 plus has a 6.2 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 by 29 60, with 521 pixels per inch. 'As both smartphones support HDR. Both of these smartphones have fantastic displays that looks stunning from every angle.

They're, not dull, they're, vibrant, the s9 plus is sharp and clear, and it's slightly more saturated. The iPhone Max is sharp and clear, as well with less saturation but better color accuracy. Overall I cannot recommend one over the other as they both look very clean and crispy. Only thing I will say is that it feels more immersive to watch movies in full screen on the s9 Plus, as opposed to the iPhone max, because the not seems to bite into the video from the left side. On the flip side, iPhone max offers a slightly larger display size, which means more screen real estate.

I will consider this category or draw top-notch large and high-quality displays either way. So, unless you simply do not prefer the notch, this category shouldn't influence your buying decision. Let's move on and talk about the software, a very important category, let's start with the basics, the galaxy s 9 plus runs on the latest version of Android, while the iPhone Max runs on the latest version of iOS. 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 s, 9 plus 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 s 9 plus 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 s 9 plus, certainly enhances the whole multitasking experience. The s 9 plus 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 a room, 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. So it is clear from everything.

I mentioned that the galaxy s 9 plus, 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 s 9 plus 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 on to the video recording the iPhone 10 Max and the s9 plus 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 s 9 plus 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 south and are perfect for video conferencing in this category, the s9 plus takes a 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 in the battery department. Both phones yield similar results with iPhone 10s max, showing a slight lead. Overall, you get a full day of battery life with medium to heavy use on both smartphones, but iPhone Max did offer an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour of extra juice. After the s, 9 plus was already at 0%, both the iPhone Max and the s9 plus offer wireless charging using the same standard, which is fantastic, s9 plus, has fast wire charging out of the box with the included charging adapter.

However, iPhone max will require you to purchase a fast charging compatible wall adapter. If you wish to utilize the fast charging option, but both phones do have fast wired charging option. This category is an overall draw, while the iPhone Max offers slightly longer battery life. The s 9 plus has the fast wired charger included with your purchase, and both phones have wireless charging. Let's move on to the biometrics and security options in this category, the s 9 plus 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 only has one way to unlock your smartphone. The face ID now the face ID on the iPhone Max is superior to the facial recognition tool found on the s9 plus even Samsung doesn't recommend using the facial tool, only s 9, plus as a reliable security measure. So we could potentially discard that option on the s 9 plus. So what we have is an iPhone Max with a state-of-the-art face, ID system versus the s 9, plus with a state-of-the-art iris recognition tool, plus the proven fingerprint sensor.

As I said, the s 9 plus does have more options on the table, so the win goes to the s 9 plus in this category. Now, let's move on and talk about the pricing, and then we will type all in a conclusion. The s 9 plus, has an official price of 700 dollars for the 64 gigabyte model and the iPhone max starts at $1,100 for the 64 gigabyte model, so there's a massive $360 price difference between the max and the s9 plus and finally, it's time for us to define the winner in this battle. Alright, so it is clear that both smartphones are technological Marvel's. As a tech package, they offer a lot of value.

The s9 plus retains the headphone jack, in my opinion, has a cleaner design and gives you more biometric security options. It also has the Samsung DEX functionality that can convert the s9 plus into an actual PC, using an accessory on the flip side iPhone Max only has one advantage that is superior to the s9 plus it has a powerful processor. Otherwise, they both have wireless charging same ip68, great water resistance and as for the display, they both offer massive and top-notch display quality. In any case, looking at all the metrics and seeing how the s9 plus has more technological advantages or the iPhone Max, it is easy to conclude that the s9 plus is the better smartphone, but not only that, in addition to being a better smartphone overall, it is also $360 cheaper than the iPhone Max, which simply seals the deal. It is very important to state that technologically, the s9 plus is not very far ahead of the iPhone Max, since the iPhone Max is also ripe with the latest technologies, but the s9 plus does have extra features and the cost savings is real.

So someone just simply asks me. The question which one is better I am compelled to say that the s9 plus based on the facts, but if someone asks me which one is better for me, I might end up asking you a few questions to see which one might fit. Your needs better, such as your preference on customization versus a solid app ecosystem, and that brings us to the end of this video.
