To my left, Apple’s first OLED smartphone, the iPhone X, priced at a minimum of €1159, is equipped with an A11 Bionic processor whose performance rivals the latest generation MacBook Pro. On the right, the Galaxy Note 8 is the most expensive smartphone Samsung has ever produced, priced at €1009. This phablet has the latest generation Snapdragon 835 processor combined with 6GB of RAM. Which is the fastest between these two flagships? That’s the question many YouTubers are trying to answer through the Video Speed ​​Test.

For our part, we chose to review the results of various tests, and specifically the EverythingApplePro and PhoneBuff chains, to decide between the two devices. So let’s start with the video from the EverythingApplePro channel. As usual, the cameraman compares the speed of smartphones by repeatedly opening different popular apps such as social networks, games or apps like Google Maps and Amazon. The event ends with the transfer of a 4K video. iPhone X is coming to an end first round 2 minutes 47Galaxy Note 8 is 4 minutes 46.

iPhone X and Galaxy Note 8: Apple flagship performance suffers due to very low RAM

While Samsung’s flagship completed its first lap, the iPhone X completed its second lap in 1 minute and 5 seconds, thanks to the applications saved in the smartphone’s memory. On the other hand, thanks to 6GB of RAM, Galaxy Note 8 takes just 38 seconds to complete the second round. The YouTuber then tests to open apps manually and finds that the Galaxy Note 8 opens all apps faster. The same goes for unlocking the smartphone. As a result, EverythingApplePro declares the Galaxy Note 8 to be faster than the iPhone X except for editing 4K videos.

In the PhoneBuff channel test, the iPhone X completes its first round in 1 minute 15, compared to the Galaxy Note 8’s 1 minute 24. However, thanks to twice the RAM of the iPhone X, the Note 8 completes its second round. 52 seconds versus 53 percent for the iPhone X, 30 seconds and 17 percent a lap. As the YouTuber points out, it’s unfortunate that the device doesn’t have at least 4GB of RAM, given the price of Apple’s flagship. most This is why the Galaxy Note 8 is the big winner at the pinnacle of this duel.
