The notch is an eyesore. And here we go....I'm sure I'll probably get yelled at for that from all the apple folks that be on note8 forum.

I have owned both devices and for me it’s mainly my preference for iOS that keeps me with the X. I think the Note 8 has the most beautiful display of any phone I’ve ever seen, and I think it’s a fine choice if you prefer the Android platform. For my use, Siri works better than google assistant and Bixby (although I do think bixby will improve dramatically over time) and I wouldn’t give up my iPhone X for any Android device at this point. I’ve been back and forth enough to know that iOS is what works best for me. Not a “sheep.” Not an “Apple fanboy” or whatever. Just a guy who likes technology but prefers iOS to Android. Note 8 owners, enjoy your phones. They are fantastic. Now excuse me while I go send an animated **** emoji to my son. ??????

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on the way out.

Couldn't agree more. Left the iphone and went with a Note 8 and absolutely love it. Also ditched the iPad for aTab S3. Also a big improvement.

I get some may like the Note 8 but I know some who would swear the iPhone is better.

Why you ask? Because they love the iOS ecosystem. That alone will be more beneficial anything you laid out in your post.

Love threads like this, extremely entertaining.

These "debates" are silly. Both devices are freaking awesome and you are free to chose the one you prefer. It's kinda like debating between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.

It definitely is an eyesore.

To be sure, we are on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 thread on an Android Central forum and the gentleman who OWNS a Note 8 wants to engage me point by point in a discussion of why a) I don't know what I'm talking about and b) Apple just does everything better.

That's a little incongruent, I call him out on that minor GLARING point and some how I'm the bad guy who doesn't respect this chap cause he's been around for a long time.

Riiiiiiight.

He needs to trade in one of his super cars. He's like a Chevy owner/ driver extolling the virtues of Ford!

His MONEY landed on the Note 8. Nuff said.

Tried the X for a week. The only reasons I disliked it was because the I've become so accustomed to the screen size of the Note 8. I also wished iOS would allow multiple apps to be displayed like the Note. Other than those two things, the X is a very nice device.

 

[Iva_LadyDiCaprio98]

I've seen and played with the X in person and it is by no means any better than the Note8. Not by a long shot. I will never give up the functionality of the Note over the limit Apple gives you with their phones. It's just not my cup of tea and kudos to those that like Apple iPhones, but I've lost interest in them 5 years ago and have yet for them to even make me consider being interested in any iPhone. They're all the same. Boring.

So you based your observations of the iPhone X without actually using the iPhone X? I think the only thing this OP accomplished was preaching to the choir in a Note 8 forum.

100% spot on.

Kind of the idea dontcha think?

 

[I Can Be Your Hero]

Not minimizing anything. I have yet to hear ONE explanation of why he chose to spend his hard earned money on a Note 8 if Apple does everything better.... Just saying.

Didn't say Apple does everything better. I'm not interested in the iPhone, hence why I don't buy them. Just made the point that:

1: You can't pass judgement on a phone you haven't used. Otherwise websites would post reviews of phones the moment they're announced without having touched them.

2. Trying to compare phones by going down a list of features and declaring one better (especially when having not used one of the phones) is ridiculous.

3. The only way to know which phone is better is if you use both phones for a period of time and look at them holistically, not under a microscope of features.

Seems like you don't get that.
