- iOS vs Android. For nearly a decade the rivalry of these two lineups has spun a trend of love and hate that even we have a hard time controlling in the comments. Surely one is the misunderstood iPhone, and the other is the Galaxy on its way out, but smaller price on one and deals on the other make this a worthy comaprison none the less. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is iPhone 8 vs Samsung Galaxy S8

S8 for sure👌🏿
S8 is a short term phone
Pretty Boy Flizzy if it’s based in software updates then thats a fair point
Lover Of Tech Samsung has been better than iPhone for 5 years now. Why are people still comparing them. Samsung is on its own level. Alone. IPhone just has APPLE so it's easy to get kids to buy it. And the software is easy to use. Android is better than iOS. Apple is better than Samsung. Samsung and Android are 2 different companies. Apple and iPhone are 1. Stop comparing them please.
NY Jay it’s fair to compare them because they are in the same competition in terms of flagship space but yes my original comment stated just like Jaime said that the better deal for your money is definitely S8
i have s8 its awesome but its started getting slow. iOs is far better than android
The Galaxy S8 is easily the most futuristic.The curved screen is sleek A.F.
FastLikeUNO yeah give credit where credit is due and no doubt Samsung makes amazing looking/feeling phones.
S7 edge FTW
FastLikeUNO How bout the iPhone X
Jordan Thomas No curve, has side bezzles
FastLikeUNO sleek af the exact words I would use lol
1:10 "It's actually been winning for the last three generations." 💀 You right.
Oh yes it did iphone display always shit i do respect the xs max and iphone 12 pro
Galaxy s8 looks from the future comparing with the iPhone 8 😂
Yes but I don´t think the design is a problem. The problem is the screen actually. It should have been bigger and AMOLED and more people would buy/like it.
im proud of my iphone 8 plus
And I love my iPhone 8 :D
Junior P Suarez after steve jobs died, iphone has been a huge mistake
After Steve Jobs died iPhones didn't get a single extra pixel.
...750p? Really?
(Excluding the X)
This dude just said that numbers dont matter like bro imagine having 1mb of ram
Well By today's standard he's not wrong pal.
I don't even think the phone would be able to turn on with one 1mb lol!
iPhone 8 looks like shit next to s8.
Don't get me wrong, iPhone is not ugly in itself but s8 is just beautiful.
Abhishek Pathak Shane the X is even more beautiful.
X is good looking but the notch ruins the aesthetics imo. Asymmetrical camera positioning and huge camera bump also doesn't help.
Abhishek Pathak I like the fact that the screen stretches edge to edge. It’s better than having a black bar at the top. Why would anyone not want more screen space. A huge camera bump....that is eliminated when you put a case on it, and a camera that is by far superior over the Note8. I really like the look of the X. If it had a dumb black bar at the top I would be so annoyed.
Shut up
Abhishek Pathak lol
The dulingo bird is always watching 0:00
Nice... But can they run Crysis???
NET Alliance - Star Wars Fun technically they can but you have to find a way to download it
no but it can run wii games
SuperKingRiz wii games are so bad. Asphalt 8 looks and has better graphics and minecraft plays and has better graphics than the wii.
The Royal Memes But wii games offer way more fun
polystation12 2 yes i know. I was saying that they are not graphic intensive
"The S8 is the better deal" is an understatement.
@Prashanth Murali umm no flaming people lmfao
@Benjamin Jagun Yeah, of course. Only Apple fanboys have a super 5 year old smartphone. Who are you kidding dude 🤣🤣
You can't go wrong with either device. It comes down to ecosystem preference and what kind of deal you're looking for
Drazen Tor Yeah, but Samsung is always better. ::receives check from Samsung::
Agreed
Drazen Tor that's right. I know some people prefer iOS and others that avoid it like the plague
Ecosystem my balls
I find great things in both platforms and currently use iOS but will be switching to android...again because the Android itch is back. My 6s Plus is a little dated anyway.
For me there is no question... The Galaxy s8 is a king phone, the iPhone 8 is not 😂🐼 Buy yeah, you don't buy products that you don't like, so these debates are usually pointless.
Pandis Pandus sure?
i am watching this with S8+
Oh bro iPhone 5s is only phone who is supported now
Samsung is shit they provide updates for only a year and then expect you to buy a new one the next year
That's a weak point, but it doesn't make them a shitty company 😂 As I said, these debates are kinda pointless if you already have picked side. I'm on Samsung now, but open for others company's products, if I consider them better.
the real negative thing for iphone is the price! no doubt it's an exceptional phone
Exactly. It's not a bad phone, it's just hard for it to compete at that price tag. ^JR
True, for those who are not on a budget, iPhone 8, 8+, and 10 are a good choice
yea if you compare it with phones cheaper than it.....compare it to phones having the same price tag that will run circles around it....or compare it to phones with higher specs yet less than half of it's price.
Can say the same for Samsung phones and most android phones
flizzy, compared to the i phone 8 the samsung j7 pro is smaller, lighter, has aluminum body, more pixels in both cameras, led in the front camera, bigger Amoled display, more pixel density, twice the battery size, two sim trays, expandable memory, always on display, more cores, more ram, a headphone jack, much more customizable and much more compatible with most electronic devices on the market and it is 40% of the iphone 8 price.....this is not even comparable p.s: j7 pro it is older than than the i phone 8 by a couple of months too..
I'm sticking with Android. IPhones home screens are so damn messy with apps all over the place. No to mention the damn folders. Apple really should add an appdrawer. And then let people choose where they want to place the apps on the homescreen.
savage beast maybe but then it’s looks more than a android and also people say Apple steals it
savage beast that's one of the major reasons I hate their ui, i don't know how people say it's simpler, it's clunky af
Raveen Bikha that wouldn't be a bad thing. Companies steals ideas from each other all the time any way. And if the idea is good, then by all means steal it. I as an costumer, want the best product I can possible get.
kingwindie yeah it is. It's one big mess. There's no point in letting people with iPhones have a picture on the homescreen, they can't see it anyway. If anything it should be a picture of a pair of cuffs. That would be very symbolic.
savage beast true in iOS user all the way when apple implement wireless charging then u get copy or steal but again I think if Apple or android get same features more innovation and more features and more people happy
just broke my s8 yesterday. cried whilst viewing this video
I'm a Samsung girl. I love my s8 .. IPhone too expensive..don't see the hype of it.
Same
Weren’t they the same price?
@@notebook8460 the s8 was $50 more expensive at launch! But now I can buy a IPhone 8 for $600 and a s8 for $400
@@emanuelnewman1700oh, I was talking about the launch cost
Im going to have the S8 ;)
I have had my s8 plus for 4 months now and I laugh whenever someone says how the iPhone 8 is better, I have no regrets at all with buying this phone, but I still can't wait for my next upgrade being the s10
DestinToBe05 why are you comparing an S8+ with an iPhone 8?? oh my...
That phone is an iPhone X rival and people probably laugh when you say samcunt is better than iPhone X
Hexilicious HD the fact that you said samcunt means you ignore any points in which Samsung defeat apple, the most crucial point which is price and the iPhone 8 plus was more expensive at the time 😊
DestinToBe05 who wouldn’t want to pay more for a better phone??
Hexilicious HD but the iPhone 8 isn't a better phone m8 😂
DestinToBe05 im talking about the X
Coming from several android/Samsung devices including a Note 4, the iPhone is just more smooth and reliable to use. No it may not have all the bells and whistles, but it is so much less of a headache to use. For instance, just to print something from my android devices, I had to download 1-2 apps, click on several things and then it MAYBE printed. With my iPhone 8 Plus, I just hit print and it prints the document every single time...no extra apps, no extra clicks, no headache. Things are just more compatible with iOS. I had so many issues with my Fitbit on my Samsung note. I thought the Fitbit was faulty until I got the iPhone. It syncs and runs perfectly on it...all the features unlike on my Note.
Also apps just run smoother on iOS and come out sooner bc it’s easier for developers to make for iOS vs android. I was always upset when I had to wait so much longer for a game or app to come out or update that my sister already had on her iPhone. Then when I’d finally download it on my android, the quality wasn’t as good. Just saying.
I still like android for some features, but I will continue to stick with iPhone bc it’s more solid and dependable. Last one I had was the 4s which lasted years and someone is still using it. My Note 4 however had glitches shortly after I bought it. Also as beautiful as those super amoled screens are, the colors fade over time and you risk getting screen burn. It happened to mine within a year. Right now I have ads popping up all through my Samsung tablet that I got just a few months ago. It keeps saying I have no virus and nothing has remedied the situation. Never had that problem with iOS.
I had nothing but iPhones my last one was a 5S but it lasted me two years and died out. One day it just wouldn't turn on, same thing as my 4S. Now I have for 3 years had a galaxy S7 but I kinda want to go back to apple. my mother had a iPhone 6 it's lasted her forever. Do the updates on iPhones affect longevity? my mother's phone she never updates anything and it's lasted forever and been problem free.i used to always update my iPhones maybes that's why both crashed on me?
As much as I love Samsung, Apples ecosystem is so smooth and easy no one can’t compete with it.both are great in their own way
Handsome Squidward it’s terrible though
For example their reception is god awful when compared to android and their personal hotspot is not even usable
Cristian Babencu yeah, a lot of accessories
It's smooth until you try to leave it. Apple definitely knows how to pull money from people.
Apples ecosystem is a trap that you cant get out
oh yeah love me some itunes
I shifted from Apple iPhone 6S Plus to Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and feel like I have a beast in my hands now which is capable of a whole lot of different things which wasn't the case earlier..
Android is a complex OS, not everyone can handle it, simpler people like simpler phones like the iphone
Hahahahağ
They have easy mode for those poor unfortunately souls.
nooooo u didn't pull that 🤣🤣🤣😥😓😓
You want simple Android OS then buy Moto devices, Pixels or Blackberry Android devices, there's more hen just Sammie lol
Congrats dear friend! :) you've mastered all the skills, level 70
I got an 8+, s8+.
I just went to setting and enabled one-hand mode in the middle of this video😂. S8 here.
Alister Gao Same here 😂😅
Haha, a must have! ^JR
Lol, couple of months later, another additional person.
S9 plus here 😄
I got the iPhone 8 and it’s been like 3 years and it still work like new
iPhone 8, version updated to iOS 13, is sold in stores, while Samsung, no longer updates S8 to Android 10, not even interested in this model.
i think it always comes down to preference. What do ppl want? my wife loves iphones i love androids to include galaxy. but its what it is.
Aran Rasekhi hell no
Aran Rasekhi nigga the 8 and 8 plus are the same phones but with different size🤦♂️
Aran Rasekhi iPhone 8 is faster and is better at apps while the s8 is good with assistance and websites. Either way both are amazing lol my dad has an s8 while I have a iPhone 8.
Aran Rasekhi ngl iPhone 8 and 8 plus are actually lucky they didn’t end up like the iPhone 7 and lower.
Well i love android for the extra sd slot. My wife is always runnjng out of space. I have yet to run oug
This is for my dragon ball fans 😏
Why dose Samsung makes the perfect smart phones ? (Why Because they have the perfect cells ) lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I created the ultimate Perfect Pun there didn't I Lol 😁😁
Damn bro
lol ✌
Battery cells that explode 😂😂😂
Watching this 5 years later on my little iPhone 8 😢
S8 got the beta 6 of the Oreo man how can you say that it's not behind you just haven't updated!
Made 120+ videos for Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8. Never once regretting buying these beast. If only Apple satisfies us by adding/improving features and NOT by taking out important ports (for both iPhones and MacBooks). But...I had to buy Macbook Pro 2016 Model for Final Cut Pro ^^
Do you use a CD drive? You can thank Apple...
Jamell Lewis exactly
Jamell Lewis But alot of apple fanies talkin bout how samsung is shit even tho they aren't.. but just because they hate samsung .
They can remove headphone jacks only when there are wireless headphones that are almost as good and cheap (relatively) to wired ones. Currently on the market good wireless headphones are really expensive. And if innovation was the goal what about including wireless charging on the iphone 7, back when fast wireless charging was avalibaly. Or wireless charging on the iphone 6 when it started gainaning popularity. Remove a standard when you find another one. OH and a headphone jack is not a bottleneck in anything. Not like a CD Drive that got replaced by USBs. Please check what you guys say.
BluefireX headphone jack is a bottleneck towards wireless progress and overall convenience. Plus water resistance and battery space.
Still loving my s8. I had a 6 Plus before and I was waiting for the X, but when the s8 came out I moved over to Samsung and I'm super happy. Keep thinking about the Note 9, because it is a majorly substancial upgrade from the s8, but I think I'm going to wait for the next Note instead.
Hads 9pm
This is the type of content i want to see
I'm for Samsung all the way, but I really appreciate your honesty and intention to try and bring the best out of both phones instead of just nit picking their negative points. Thanks for the great review.
no one loves the poor iPhone 8....not even apple
ace 1121 iphone X doo..
iphone 6..7.. 8 n X the winner joke since.. 2015..2016.. 2017 and 2018 as well 😂😂😂
If Steve were still alive, the 4.7 inch iPhone would be the plus model.
Sean Wheat
If Steve was still alive, there wouldn't be such thing as plus model.
*Android > iOS*
El Muchacho Serio hard to believe people still argue this, and morons like u cant wait to post it
Sucker.
Apple is way better than Samsung even though Samsung is bigger than Apple but I’m Apple All The Way if the iPhone X Plus was out I’d get the Silver 256GB iPhone X Plus
Chanse Ormon
*iSheep*
Chanse Ormon in terms of what? You just said that because you are an apple sheep and doesn't want to give up. Android is better. Deal with it.
I went from iPhone 8 to S8 and I couldn't be any happier. Now I'm thinking about getting another one, because I need a bigger phone. Which one do you recommend, Note8 or V30?
Nearly a decade? It's been a decade.
Hail Ap... 🤔
*SAMSUNG* 🙂
Mustafa Mamuwala lol
Seth I prefer the iPhone X, but that comment is just inappropriate. Just stop.
Seth yeah that comment makes sense. Why have you associated the word “Samsung” and “Akbar”?
Mustafa Mamuwala yes brother
Hail Hydra
iPhone X and 8 was released in the same year
2021 you can get a brand new Galaxy S9 on eBay for $50 cheaper than an iPhone 8. Absolutely ridiculous
I am an Android guy but I am amazed by the iPhone 8 design. I just love smaller screen handy phones.
Samsung S8 definitely.
Definitely
Its crazy how the iPhone 8 is newer and it looks 3 years old lmao
🤣😂😭😭
I'd get an S8, since my S5 has lasted me 5 years, (bought it the day it came out). I have to go with an iPhone though cause I need to easily transfer files or edit then between my macbook too. It's annoying having to keep uploading onto Google Drive, and then downloading the file from another device.
I have the s8 and I use mine all day running spotify and snap and still have at least 30% at the end of the day
I love the design of Samsung phones and the quality, but I love how optimized iOS is
Nope, both are sucked.Real men use Nokia 3310
Marc .H men**
Marc .H pretty noticeable that you've lost tons of IQ points just by owning a Nokia 😂😂
Steven Maciel oops
😂
Window phone are garbage
Very annoying background music, it is a of someone is continuously coughing one flight of stairs from where you are
So many people cry about where the fingerprint sensor is on the S8 but if you just put it in a case you will never miss the fingerprint sensor
I have had my Galaxy S8 since April, and it's ridiculous that people supposedly hit the camer when using the fingerprint sensor. I assume it would be possible if its not your standard phone, but after using it for a few weeks I havent actully had a problem with accidentaly touching the camer.
Alex Nico i think you got it for april fools
Alex Nico people just don't like trying to get used to it I guess
Android vs Apple war starting now
To me, the war had stopped since the iPhone 5S..
People who use iPhone are the type of people that read the terms and services when they get a new phone
Why iPhoneX beats the SHIT our of the Note8:
iPhone X: Best Display ever on a smartphone (DisplayMate), best rated camera when taking still photos (DXCOMARK 101), fastest and most advanced processor with a neural engine (A11 B I O N I C Chip), Strongest glass on a smartphone, most advanced, reliable and intuitive mobile operating system (iOS)
**TO GET THIS OUT THERE, APPLE HAS OFFICALLY SAID THAT THEIR DISPLAY IS ENGINEERED BY THEM THEMSELVES AND IS THE BEST OLED IN THE INDUSTRY AS WELL AS DISPLAY MATE AND TOM’S GUIDE. REFER BELOW FOR THE DETAILS ON HOW AND WHY.**
- we have the best rated camera (DXCOMARK 101 still images).
- Brighter Quad LED TrueTone Flash with Slow Sync.
- 4K at 60 FPS.
- 1080p Slow-motion 240 FPS.
- Deeper pixels, New Colour filter, Apple designed image signal processor, larger and faster sensor.
- Portrait Mode front and rear facing camera.
- Portrait Lighting front and rear facing camera.
- Animoji (maps 50 facial muscles).
- 3D facial scanning - works night, with some sunglasses,adapts to physical changes, more secure.
-FaceID works with Apple Pay.
- Notifications are hidden until it detects your face (intelligent, has attention awareness, and improves facial tracking on things such as snapchat).
- TrueTone display (using a 10 channel ambient light sensor).
- 3D Touch.
- Lowest reflectivity of any OLED smartphone display.
- Folded OLED display to virtually eliminate the bottom bezel.
- Has a super dim setting of just 2cd/m2(nits) whilst still providing 24-bit colour and excellent picture quality.
- Highest 1:1million contrast ratio.
- The lowest colour shifting at different viewing angles on any smartphone OLED.
- Highest full screen brightness (rated the best display by DisplayMate).
- Has a higher fill factor of the PenTile Diamond pixel structure for the display than Samsung’s Own Galaxy OLED’s.
- Best Colour Accuracy of any OLED display.
- Taptic Engine.
- AirDrop.
- AirPower.
- AirPods - W1 Chip, seamless connectivity.
- 256GB option for Internal Storage which is superior to having an SD Card for external storage.
-iOS 11, largest platform and support for Augmented Reality.
- Strongest glass in any smartphone.
- Polished Surgical Grade stainless steel.
- Louder stereo speakers with better sound quality and better speaker placement in the ear piece.
- Side Silent Switch.
- Fastest and smartest chip - A11 BIONIC Chip with a Neural Engine for Face ID!
- HEIF Photo Compression Technology - our photos take half the size of Note8, S8 etc phones. Your gonna need that SD Card!
- Raise to wake as well as Tap to Wake.
- Live Photo’s (not super short video snippets like Note8, actual photos in photo format).
- Custom display chip that drives the display 3x bright using TrueTone for a front facing flash.
- iPhone X is thinner than the S8 and Note8.
- Better customisation on iMessages. (Send money through Apple Pay on messages, messages Apps etc).
-Customisable Control Centre.
-Customisable Vibration/Taptic feedback pattern that can also be for specific calls.
-Better widgets (more uniformed in design, all in one place, not everywhere).
- Frequent minor and major software updates to ensure security and optimum performance.
- Apple simply offers better customer service and support and even offer free learning lessons and care more about sustainability and the environment.
- Better overall design in my opinion, less top and bottom bezels, no annoying bent display creating unintended touches and colour shifting.
- Higher resale value
- Reachability
- Do not disturb Whilst driving option
- Tap to top
- Spotlight search
-Siri App suggestions
- Wi-Fi Password sharing.
- Full back up options. (ICloud, baking up everything, including app data not just photos).
- Apple-designed video encoder (highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone)
- Air Play.
- More products are compatible with HomeKit
- HomePod coming soon.
- Google apps such as google assistant as well as apple productivity apps such as pages, keynotes etc. And Apple maps etc. Best of both worlds.
Now tell me this phone is shit and is worse than the Note8 and is not worth £1000
**Display details to why our OLED is better than Note8:**
Apple Designed, engineered, calibrated and gave the specifications for their own display, Samsung just manufactured it and put the parts together. It doesn’t make sense for them to manufacture a better display than their own!
iPhone x display - the best ever on any smartphone.
- the cut out only takes 2% of the total screen area.
- 2.5K Higher resolution FHD+ Display at 2436x1125 pixels, 458ppi with 2.7 mega pixels, 32z more than a HDTV
- Diamond Sub-Pixels and Sub-Pixel rendering
- It is pointless to further increase the display resolution and ppi up to 4K as there is no visual benefit for humans and takes up much more battery unnecessarily!
- Supports the sRGB and the new Wide DCI-P3 Color gamut that is used in 4K UHD TV’s and automatic Color management provides many more Gamuts which switches the display to the proper Color gamut so that the images appear in the correct colour (World class Colour accuracy).
- The most accurate colour display ever measured.
- Record high Full screen brightness for OLED smartphones of 634 nits. Note8 can produce up to 1,240 nits but only for small portions of the screen area, for full screen it is 423 nits with manual brightness
- On its home screen, the iPhone x provides a full screen brightness of 726 nits.
- Lowest reflectiveness display ever on a smartphone at just 4.5%.
- As a result for its high Brightness and low reflectance, the iPhone X has a Contrast rating of High Ambient Light that ranges from among 141 to 180, the highest ever measured on a smartphone.
- it has HDR which allows to play 4K HDR content made for 4K UHD TV’s. HDR 10, and Dolby Vision.
- True Tone technology to make the display behave more like paper reflecting ambient light and taking on its colour using a 10 channel ambient light sensor.
- Has a super dim setting of just 2cd/m2 (nits) whilst still providing 24-bit colour and excellent picture quality.
- Uses the traditional Diamond Sub-Pixel layout BUT it’s Sub-Pixel Fill factor enables the OLED to have a much higher full screen Peak Luminance of over 625 nits.
- Extreme low colour shifts at different viewing angles,
- DisplayMate have even described the display on the iPhone X as ‘absolutely stunning and Beautiful, even to my experienced hyper-critical eyes’...’record Absolute Color Accuracy which is virtually indistinguishable from perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.
- Can be used with polarised sunglassss in both portrait and landscape
- The cover glass is 50% stronger compared to iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (Strongest Glass ever in a smartphone)
- What makes the iPhone X the best smartphone display is the precision Display Calibration that Apple developed which transferred the OLED hardware into a superbly accurate, high performance display.
- Highest contrast ratio
- Don’t believe me, check DisplayMates site where there is, theiPhoneX_ShootOut_1a.htm evidence, diagrams and references from their scientific lab testing. www.displaymate.com/

And Samsung, keep copying TouchID, copy our Apple Pay, copy our Live Photo’s, copy our live messaging, copy our keyboard design, copy our front facing screen flash, copy having a dual camera with a 2x telephoto lens, copy portrait mode,copied the Siri assistant through this stupid name “Bixby”, copy our earbud design evident in the s7, copy having curved front glass panels on all edges, copy our premium glass material as soon as we switched to aluminium in the iPhone6. And guess what, the S9 is rumoured that Samsung will yet again copy our dual lens camera, Stereo Speakers, 3D facial scanning AND will arrange their camera vertically just like the X AND reduce the bottom bezel to match the iPhone X. Very “innovative” SHITSUNG!
AAO 786 Lol get ready for the wrath of Samsung fans 🙂
To bad you don't know the difference between a OS and a brand.
I watched the video with my S8+ 😀
03.06.2018
3:00 let me stop you here sir. After 1 week of using my note 8(which is bigger) I got used to the fingerprint Sensor's position
with samsung and other android phones, you get more features for a lower price
ExplosionWasabi Productions you don’t get FaceTime or iMessage 😂🥴
Tyler Jb face time and iMessage is useless when you have apps like WhatsApp
The comparison should be with s8 and x
no, note 8 deservers the x, s8+ the iPhone 8+
Next episode: Nokia 3310 vs samsung galaxy note 7
I'm so torn between iPhone 8, Google Pixel 2, and S8. They all have pros and cons
I have the s8 and getting the s9+ at the release.
It means i'm preordering.
It's 2018. I shouldn't be on 7.0 still. I should be on 8.1
Still on 7.0 I have a Verizon s7. I think it's because of the carrier
Im on orea. It's your carrier.
Michael Androulakis exact same. I hate being on a carrier. I either want to get off Verizon or get a Pixel. It sucks bc I like Galaxy phones a lot
Noah R my upgrade is is a month. definitely switing to pixel 2 xl
Problem is that now that they tend not to pull the "get a free phone when you sign a two year contract", that they offer installment plans, far better to buy the plain unlocked version at Best Buy or such. Then go to your carrier and get it activated. After that, you get the OS updates when Samsung puts them out, not your carrier. Plus, if you decide to switch carriers, say from T-Mobile to Verizon or Sprint you can as the phone is not locked to one carrier. You can also go to prepaid with ease like Straight Talk or Freedom Pop or such. No unlocking needed. I just bought mine a week ago and it had Nougat out of the box, but immediately upgraded to Oreo after I turned it on and set it up.
Most of what you said is true, although I've used the S8 for an entire day with normal use and no adjustments. I didn't have any issues. Also, in New England people don't choose phones based off of what it offers. They get drink off Apple and stay with it despite what other devices offer. I've recommended the Google Pixel to tons of people and they still refuse it stating "Apple has them locked in".
I'd get an S8 but there are some problems I don't like. For instance:
1. Camera sucks, pictures look flat.
2. Hard time receiving photos from iMessage.
3. Battery life goes down fast.
4. They need add the tap the top to scroll up.
5. LOTS OF BLOATWARE!!
6. Speaker is tinny
But wow it does look sexy!
I love the look of iPhone 8 on the back and the screen to body ratio of S8 love iOS love swipe up to widgets on S8 have 6S plus it’s a tie but S8 looks better
Jaime you have tiny hands
LoL.. I wish ^JR
Pocketnow shave the hair it makes it look bigger
@@xtiantab haha lmao
The problem is that after 2 year the iphone 8 will get the latest updates but the s8 will never get anything
Finally some one said which phone they liked more
Subbed just causa this
NOKIA 3310 FTW!!!
Why? Is this video really just trying to start a comment war? This is getting really old
Software updates and quality of apps are two of the most important things about a phone. It’s not even close
after 2 years test it again
Apple need to put USB type-C in their phones
Lightning is better.
@@sl-br4rm actually USB type-c is light years ahead of lightning. The type-c is WAYYYYYYY more useful, universal and there are more accessories/abilities using type-c. Lightning was only made because Apple, being the scummy company it is, wanted more money so they made their own connector because people have to pay large royalties for every lightning product sold/made
3rd ... Hi I’m Jaime Rivera and this is Pocket Now Daily
2:08 For the love of God, please stop adding "p" to any number. It's not a "750p display", its pixel count on the shorter side is 750, that's it. The "p" actually means something in "720p" or "1080p"!
My s8+ is running Andriod 9.0 and UI 1.0 (*Less no forget that this comment is from 2019*).
Don't mind me, just another comment in the vast sea of the comment section...
Switched to a Galaxy S8. I regret it so much. Will be moving back to Apple next upgrade. I could write a novel with how many issues the phone has had
pie worm Worm pie I use to have S8 and I went back to my IPhone SE and 6S due to lag on android and some selfies on galaxy are bad but all I care is a phone that works and gets the job done.
No need to be sorry, it's an ancient design when compared to the broader market.
Which one is better in gaming?
I went with the LG G6. I picked up two of them on a BOGO deal. $500 for each phone + taxes and activation charges = $1100. I received a $500 check so basically I paid $600 for two phones, $300 each. Hard to beat.
James Neilson that's actually insane
What do you need 2 for though
One or me, one for my wife.
Yeah, I also using both lg g5 and g6. It's cheap, but hornestly lg is not last for long time. But living in America I change phone every year.
I had samsung my hole live and i never thought i would buy iphone and i love so much more than samsung
Which iPhone
I've had nothing but Samsung but the new iPhone looks nice
6:01 any professional photographer will tell you that functionality or any improvement cannot be brought by using 2 cameras but only by improving a camera
Reaching the iPhone fingerprint scanner requires less effort. Yet you used 2 hands and 1 for the s8
Switched to iPhone 8plus when my galaxy s7 got some pretty bad screen burn in. Never had an iOS device till now and can honestly say both Samsung and iOS are not perfect. I like the battery and ecosystem of iOS and the customizability of android I will take FaceTime over any 3rd party video call service. With that being said a phone is a phone lol both work!
P.s went with 8+ over 10 because didn’t want to spend that much money and possibly have burn in issues because Samsung made the display
Jesse K Apple has the best displays to prevent burn in and they would probably replace it for free if it does burn in. In the UK, Apple uses the 4 year consumer law.
AAO 786 yeah I didn’t realize how good their customer service was Until I broke my screen 10 days after getting the phone and it only costed me like 30 bucks to replace when I had to pay over 150 to get the Samsung screen fixed
I agree I just switched from s7 edge to Iphone 7 plus because of screen burn on my s7 edge I was always Android user and always bought apple for my wife she never got problem, I got pink line on my s6 edge and now screen burn and I got some friends who are ready to exchange with my iPhone 7 plus 128gb which was used 1 year and s8 (4month used) was my dream phone when it came out and I found same screen burn problem on CZcams for s8 aswell so after long thinking I said no to my friends. And now I feel safe with iPhone.
162 Fox such a good choice. Couldn’t agree more. Funnily enough talking of pink lines, my uncle and my friend have a pink line. One on S7edge, and one on S6edge
Well, OLED's get burn in.
Had the choice and it was the s8
The iPhone can't run a single app in the background with it's RAM and as such idle is only consistent of the OS and scheduled runs for notifications. In a consistent test between the two devices the iPhone will die first every single time simply because it's an IPS based device with a tiny ass battery. Of course, the battery drain of background apps on the S8 can be mitigated completely by preventing apps from running in the background, and if other minor features are excluded then the S8 can achieve upwards of 7-8 hours of screen on time, nearly my entire workday. An iPhone will certainly lag behind.
Nice review Jaime, straight to the point and clear as to which phone comes out on top in each category.
Please do more of these.
These so many phone variants but Pocketnow hasn't been doing many reviews and comparisons lately.
Android always for flexibility. Apple for more official work.
Rayer 977 it's funny I see people using the note 8 for work than any other phone 😂😂
Brandino D. Yeboah lol. I honestly havent seen anyone woth note 8 using it for office or even school work. Only seen people use the Iphones for that.
Bot are android territory of profession
What would you say is "official work"? Because I can call someone on my 3T too k can also send emails and read articles if I need to write a text I can easily do that using word on my 3T
yvalson I mean that in a way yes. As per what ive seen Iphones are more geared towards that then android is
S8 is far better than i8
Ehtsham Rauf ur comparing it with a car
Personally I find the taller aspect ratio that the S series brought was dumb extra weight at size for a slightly larger display. Not only was it more uncomfortable in the pocket as it was longer, it also made the overall phone look weird. That’s just my opinion though.
If only the iPhone looked like the S8 with a headphone jack.
I’m a Apple fan, and I like Samsung phones tbh. There so beautiful💕
I will always choose Samsung over Apple. Dont care what Apple does next. They have to sneak copy anyway. Lol. Steve Jobs use to attack android and stylus on handhelds. Now look at the iPads and iphones? Lol. Welcome to Android, Apple!
iTechUOutGuy Stop saying lol to make it look like your not salty.
Yeah but... that guys dead
You sir are cancer 👌🏻
steve jobs did nothing than advertise tf are u on
steve jobs didn’t make the apple pencil... he died
You can tell which phone is better from the thumbnail alone lol
The front camera of S8 is like it has a built in camera360 like automatically adds smoothness to the face unlike iPhone 8 simply Raw...
S8 > iPhone X >iPhone 8
Dániel Koós i phone x>>i phone 8>>💩 💩 💩 >>>>> s8
Ankit Sen you are one idiot...
Criticalz i know u r
Me > Daniel Koós > Criticalz > Ankit sen
a iphone lover, that dont understand that apple is the past. Nothing new in last 4 years.
If apple is to expinsive then buy a orange instead problem solved
This video is so clearly biased and meant for galaxy users who are too stubborn to open their eyes (look at all the most liked comments for proof)
I just put down my note 8 to go back to iPhone and I’ve realized both have there pros and cons but what’s gets me going back to Apple is it just works and very well
Windows FTW
Ritik Karkara i can't believe i met a guy from stone age
lagan khurana 😂
I also still use my Windows phone lol :D Lumia rules!
Are you feeling good?
I still don't understand why Windows phone never took off. I mean, 90% of the world's computers run Windows. It would make sense for windows to run on your "pocket computer".
740P vs 1440 P 5.8" always on display vs 4.7" display means twice the drain on batteries, but you can put the samsung in 720p mode to save battery life.
7 months later
Wanted to see this earlier tho
However, it is a good and honest review!
If apple had semi bezel less phones, OLED screens, Cheaper phones, and a better camera with 2 cameras on the smaller model I would buy it all day everyday
