Year after year we have seen Samsung pitted against Apple, Galaxy against iPhone. This time we have Samsung’s newly unveiled Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ pitted against the Apple’s tenth anniversary iPhone, the iPhone X. Both the phones are most high-end smartphones on the planet. Though they come with similar features, including OLED screen technology and high-end cameras, they still differ on many things.

Design & Display
Samsung adopted the same jaw-dropping glass and metal sandwich with an edge to edge Infinity Display design of Galaxy S8, S8+. However, the top and bottom bezels are narrower than before. Another big change is the fingerprint scanner has been placed below the camera module to allow access to users without smudging the lens.
The iPhone X meanwhile too sports a glass and metal frame design. It is still a completely new design for Apple and looks far more modern than Samsung devices, in fact, any other Android device.
As for the displays, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ adopt Quad HD Super AMOLED 5.8 inch and 6.2-inch screens. The iPhone X, on the other hand, comes with a 5.8-inch Super Retina display based on OLED panel. Samsung handsets, however, do benefit from a higher screen resolution, pumping out 2960 x 1440 pixels compared to the iPhone X’s 2436 x 1125 pixels.
Cameras
This is where things get interesting. Samsung phones’ boasts new SuperSpeed Dual Pixel cameras with variable aperture. This helps S9 with low light performance as sensors can switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4.
The S9 has a single 12MP camera on the back while the S9+ model will come with dual 12MP sensors, a wide angle and telephoto lens similar to iPhone X. The S9+ model sports the portrait mode or bokeh effects. The Galaxy S9 can also shoot Super Slow-Mo video at 960 frames per second at 720p resolution compared to 240fps on iPhone X.
