iPhone X vs Galaxy S8 running Android Oreo: Samsung’s flagship faster than Apple’s thanks to the new OS?

Faced with Apple’s new flagship iPhone X, equipped with a powerful A11 Bionic processor, the Samsung Galaxy S8 can’t really compete right now. Various tests and other speed tests have shown that Samsung’s smartphone does not match Apple’s in terms of performance. It’s not really surprising to know that the Galaxy S8 was launched from April 2017, while the iPhone X was launched on November 3, 2017.

However, since November 1, 2017, Samsung has launched the Android Oreo beta program for the Samsung Galaxy S8 in South Korea, the United States, and the United Kingdom. However, Android Oreo is supposed to bring a performance boost. In this regard, YouTuber XeeTechcare decided to conduct a speed test of the iPhone X under Android 8.0 Oreo against the Galaxy S8 to check whether the new version of the operating system allows the Samsung smartphone to catch up with the main flagship.

iPhone X and Galaxy S8 running Android Oreo: Samsung’s flagship has nothing to envy Apple

From the very beginning, enough to astonish the cameramen, Galaxy S8 boots up faster Faster than the iPhone X in a few hundredths of a second. As XeeTechcare reminds us, the Galaxy S8 initially starts slower than the iPhone X. Hence an unexpected turn. Then the YouTuber will launch a series of apps on both smartphones simultaneously to see which one opens apps faster. It all starts with the phone app that launches a little faster on the iPhone X. Galaxy S8 running Oreo, on the other hand, launches Instagram faster.

Then XeeTech launches the PinOut game. This time the detection is clear, the iPhone X is much faster. Apple smartphone also starts Snapchat faster. But Galaxy S8 is faster when launching Soundcloud, Spotify and Twitter apps. Galaxy S8 is also slightly faster camera launch, and the web browser narrowly outperforms the iPhone’s Safari. The YouTuber then tests the RAM of the two smartphones by trying to reopen various apps and finds that they are being kept in the background on both devices. They open instantly without needing to be refreshed.

As XeeTechCare concludes, the Galaxy S8 running Android Oreo has nothing to envy over the iPhone X in terms of performance. A few seconds of splitting two smartphones to the advantage of one or the other, depending on the circumstances, will have no effect on whether users will use them in real life. In fact, the Galaxy S8 looks much more interesting considering the impressive price difference between the two smartphones. It should also be noted that Android Oreo is still in beta on the Galaxy S8. The latest build of Oreo on the Galaxy S8 will undoubtedly bring an even bigger performance boost and the S8 may even outperform the iPhone X…
