iPhone 8 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S8+ Plus Full Comparison By sakitech

Hey there our sake here from sake Taken. In today's video we will be doing a full and complete comparison of the Samsung Galaxy S8 plus versus the iPhone 8, plus just of a thing in perspective. The ivory 1/8 was released in September 2017, while the Galaxy S 8 was released in March 2017. So we have a six-month gap between the two Apple and Samsung are the most popular smartphone makers in the world and as such, are the biggest rivals. Inevitably, people are asking questions like is the s8 plus better than the iPhone 8 plus, or is the iPhone 8 plus better than the is plus and, of course, shall I get the is plus or the iPhone 8 plus just tell me, which one is better and, of course, in this video we will do a deep dive into every aspect of these smartphones and deliver a crystal clear answer for the viewer to determine which phone is better. Let's dive in and start with, the build and design iPhone 8 and the Galaxy S8 are both high quality smartphones built with premium materials.

They take the exact same approach to build quality. This time around both the galaxy s, 8 and the iPhone 8, are constructed out of glass front and rear panels, surrounded by a metal band around the perimeter of these smartphones. Unquestionably, both phones emanate a premium sensation when held in your hands, but the actual design is a different story altogether. The Galaxy S8 looks far superior to the iPhone 8. First and foremost, it retains the signature design element of having dual curved edges, which already produce a magnificent look, and, secondly, there's no physical home button on the front which allows a large and tall display to dominate the front.

It looks stunning now the iPhone 8 is not an ugly phone, but it cannot compete with the s8 in terms of overall style. It is a design that has been around for almost four years now. So, although both the s8 and the iPhone eight have an identical, build quality, the win four design goes to the s8. As for water resistance, the iPhone eight has an ip67 grade water resistance, while the s eight has a higher ip68 grade water resistance, giving the lead to the s eight, as you can actually submerge. This phone into water up to 1.5 meters, for thirty minutes without any water damage, you can even record videos or take photos underwater if you want it to. As for speakers, the iPhone 8 has two stereo speakers that are louder and produce a richer sound than the s eights single non-stereo speaker.

Another thing that might be important to some, but not all, is that the s 8 retains the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and, of course, the iPhone 8 ships with a lightning ?, 3.5, millimeter adapter, just in case now, both the iPhone 8 and SH support Bluetooth, 5.0, which is going to deliver better Bluetooth performance overall, especially in terms of extended range higher data transfer speeds via Bluetooth and the ability to add multiple wireless devices to these smartphones that could both be active simultaneously, such as two wireless headphones. So in this category, I would have to say that the s8 emerges with a lead due to its superior design and higher water resistance rating. Now the build quality is equally well done on both smartphones. Now, let's move on to the processor memory and RAM the iPhone 8 sports, a powerful hex core 811 processors, with three gigabytes of RAM and can be acquired with 64, gigabytes of storage for the base model or 256 gigabytes of storage. The Galaxy S8, also sports, a powerful processor and outscore Snapdragon 835 CPU, or an Enos 88-90 5 variant in the non-us markets, with 4 gigabytes of RAM, as 8 will only be available in a 64 gigabyte storage option.

But you can easily add up to 256 gigabytes of extra storage using a micros card, a feature that the iPhone 8 lakhs. So adding extra storage to the s8 is much cheaper. You can get a hundred twenty-eight gigabyte, micros card for around $50 and just load up on photos, videos and any media if desired. Now, if you move onto the benchmarks, it is immediately clear that the iPhone 8 has quite a bit of raw horsepower that blows expectations. Galaxy S8 plus, is not a slow phone by any means, but iPhones 811 Bionic chip has accomplished some incredible power output, which will possibly translate into great-looking buttery, smooth games and top level artificial reality experience that is available on the iPhone 8.

Now in this category the numbers can't be ignored and hence the wind does go to the iPhone 8 in terms of processing power. Let's talk about the dimensions: the s8 plus measures, 159 point five millimeters in height, seven three-point-four, millimeters wide and 8.1 millimeters thick. It weighs 173 grams, the iPhone 8 plus measures at 158 point 4, millimeters in height 78 point 1, millimeters wide and 7.5 millimeters thick. It weighs 202 grams, there's a slight difference in measurements, for instance, the iPhone 8 is certainly thinner, but the s 8 is lighter and so on. Normally I, don't care about dimensions, because a few grams of weight difference is nothing but dimensions have become relevant in the sense that how smartphones use the total surface area.

In this case, you clearly get a lot more screen with the s8 than the iPhone 8, despite the fact that they both have similar footprints. This brings me to the display. Let's talk about that, both displays are stunning. The technology behind the iPhone, 8 and Galaxy S8 displays have received some great reviews from experts at display mate. However, the s8 plus has some clear advantages.

Let's look at the specs, the SI plus, which has just about the same footprint as the iPhone 8 plus, has a large and tall 6.2 inch display that comes with a quad HD plus resolution and 529 pixels per inch --is. The screen to body ratio is approximately 85%. The iPhone 8 plus has a 5.5 inch display comes with full high-definition resolution and 401 pixels per inch. --Is. The screen to body ratio is approximately 67%, so the s8 has a larger screen and a sharper display may not matter if you're just browsing the web checking your email or reading a book, but when you start watching high-definition movies, zooming into photos and so on, you will see a clear difference in how much more detail you get to see on the s 8 delivered with vivid and vibrant colors and I do have to emphasize that the s 8 has a larger screen.

Despite having similar dimensions to the iPhone 8, there is quite a feat to achieve and a great benefit, because extra screen real estate is always welcome and, additionally, the S 8 has HDR capabilities, while the iPhone 8 does not have it. So in this category, the S 8 has a clear lead. Now, let's move on to the software, let's start with the basics. The Galaxy S 8 runs on the latest version of Android, while the iPhone 8 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 widgets 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 some more polished, apps and greater gaming experience just about every game on the iPhone 8, including graphically demanding games, will run at maximum performance with smooth and lag free. Gameplay, effete, Galaxy S8 won't be able to match. Additionally, the Apple App Store yields 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. S8 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 that larger display on the s8 certainly enhances the whole multitasking experience. The s8 also has the edge functionality. You can swipe inwards from the edges of the display to bring up the edge analyst. 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 or remove a bunch of panels based on your needs as a contour attack, the iPhone 8 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 with your finger. So it is clear from everything I mentioned that the galaxy s 8 is more customizable feature rich and productive. Overall, however, where Apple wins is the app ecosystem, which is not a joke. Like I said, 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 to the camera, let's get the numbers out of the way the is+ forced a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera with an average of f 1.7. The iPhone 8 plus, is slightly different. It has a dual camera system. It has a regular wide-angle, 12 megapixel camera, with an average of F 1.8 and a 12 megapixel telephoto camera with an aperture of f28. The primary reason the telephoto lens exists is to give you two things to times: optical zoom and the both effect for portray shots so which camera is better.

It's hard to say they both take razor sharp photos in daytime and have a great low-light performance, meaning you can take photos at nighttime and actually get a clean photo without too much noise. If you are an average consumer which most people are you'll, be satisfied with either one of these cameras. Now the iPhone 8 plus, does have the advantage of having a secondary camera which allows for two times optical zoom and gives a special both effect if desired, but regardless both primary cameras on these phones produce excellent photos. Now, what about video recording here's, where the iPhone 8 actually surpasses, because it has the option to record 4k videos at 60 frames per second, or you can tone it down to 30 frames per second Galaxy S8 can also record in 4k, but only at 30 frames per second. Additionally, iPhone 8 is also capable of recording slow-motion video at 1080p 240 frames per second, which is quite amazing.

Galaxy S8 can record at 240 frames per second, but only at 720p, so certainly in videography, the iPhone 8 outperforms. Finally, s8 has an 8 megapixel front-facing camera, while the f-18 has a 7 megapixel front-facing camera. Both cameras are great for useless selfies to overpopulate, Instagram and also videoconferencing. So what is a story with the camera? Let me repeat: if you're an average consumer and most people are you'll, be satisfied with either one of these cameras because they take fantastic pictures. These are both world-class smartphone cameras.

However, iPhone runs the advantage here due to its better video recording options. Again, whether an average consumer will use those options is up for debate now. Let's move on to the battery I will tell you right off the bat that the iPhone 8 plus has a longer battery life after a full charge. It will give you a couple of hours of extra life in comparison to the s8 plus. However, both phones are able to last a full day with a full charge, with medium to heavy use.

Both the iPhone 8 and the s8 offer wireless charging using the same QI standard, which is fantastic. S8 has fast wired charging out of the box with the included charging adapter. However, the f18 will require you to purchase the fast charging compatible wall adapter if you wish to utilize the fast charging option and that could become costly, very quick, but both phones do have fast wired charging option built-in. So the iPhone 8 leads an overall battery life, but the s8 gives faster wired charging cable included with your purchase. Both phones have wireless charging.

Let's call this one. A draw in regard to biometrics and security galaxy SA gives you more choices to unlock your phone than the iPhone 8. It has a fingerprint sensor and iris scanner and a facial recognition tool. The iPhone 8 only has a fingerprint sensor now: I'm, not a fan of the fingerprint sensor placement on the rear of the s8, because I used to use it all the time and I really preferred it on the front of smartphone, so that I can unlock the phone even when it is laying flat on the table without having to pick it up. So for me, it is definitely more convenient to have it in the or front for easier access, but this is a personal choice as far as actual biometric security options are concerned, as eight has a bit of a lead, though, it is wise to mention that the facial recognition is not secure, which makes it a joke, because even a picture of your face can be used to unlock your phone.

Therefore, I would say that, in terms of usable options that are actually secure, the s8 has an iris scanner and a fingerprint sensor, while the f-18 has a fingerprint sensor that has better placement. Now, let's talk about colors and pricing and then move on to a conclusion. The is+ comes in only one version: a 64 gigabyte model. The prices will range based on periodic sales, from $650 to $850, with three color options: black silver and gray. In certain markets around the world, you can get it in gold or blue.

The f18 plus can be acquired in 64 gigabytes and 256 gigabyte models with respective prices of seven hundred ninety-nine dollars and eight hundred forty-nine dollars. You can get it in silver, gold or Space Gray. Now, let's move on to our conclusion. So what's the conclusion, it seems that both these smartphones have some common features. Let's see what these common features are.

They both have a great build quality glass front and back with a metal band around the edges. They both have water resistance. However, the is+ has better water sealing at IP 68. They both have great battery lives. Yet the iPhone 8 leads slightly giving you an hour of extra juice.

They both offer wireless charging. They both have great cameras, although the iPhone 8 has improved video recording options. So those are some common features with slight variations. Now the s8 plus takes a lead in display quality. It certainly has a stunning display that is large and tall better in clarity.

Great for enjoying media and capable of HDR It's edge to edge display styling with curved corners gives it a unique look in overall design. The s8 also has an iris scanner, which is a leap forward in smartphone tech. On the other hand, iPhone 8 plus takes the lead in processing power. Just look at those Geek bench numbers, and they're, not just for a show iPhone. It does have some soup good-looking games that run as smooth as butter and is able to easily perform feats, such as recording and editing 4k video in 60 frames per second, but the bottom line is that the s8 has a bit of a lead in overall attractiveness.

It is better equipped technologically, and it is the more modernized package. So the final verdict is that you should get the s8 over the iPhone 8 s8 is the better phone. However, there is one exception. The only time the iPhone 8 can be recommended over the s8 is, if you are truly interested in the iPhone 8 superior app ecosystem. If you live and breathe apps the iPhone 8 will.
