Can the S8 beat the iPhone 8?

[Anageh90]

i think that will never happen not because there apple better than samsung or samsung better than apple but because the iphone user get used to ios and samsung user or any android user prefer android on ios thats it so no one will Bette the other

In terms of hardware we do not. It's not being released or announced yet. But Android will always be superior to iOS. Have you seen an iPhone with dual sim slots and an SD card slot? No.

Dual sim and SD card slots are not Android. Let's be fair. I had all the S and note series. I still think iOS is smoother than android.

I completely agreed Samsung hardware is ahead of apple

Dual SIM slots are primarily designed for developing markets. It's made that way because people there have two phone lines, whether the second line is a secondary or a separate voice and data line.

It's undeniably useful, which is why they've started making their way into flagships, but it'll be a while until every single flagship has them.

As for SD slots, meh. I've always thought of them as secondary storage. I will not mind the lack of one if the phone comes with lots of internal storage to compensate.

It seems, performancewise the S8 still has to beat the iPhone 6S before attempting to challenge the iPhone 8:

Eh, whatever. In head to head tests using real world functionality, not much separates the two devices.

Making these pissing matches rather silly. Who wins depends on your preference. I wish people would grow up. These aren't sports teams. These are greedy companies after your money

That's funny. My note3 was twice the phone as the 6s.

smh it all comes down to preference and what the end user wants. it like windows and macOS.
some people have certain preferences
at the end of the day, customer needs will decide which platform they gravitate to.
I've use both and while traditional hardware on apple has been behind android, software efficiency has a big part to play in real world usage.

No. This year's iPhone will be huge because it'll be the ten year anniversary iPhone.

I can two already that will be a big, big deal among the Iphone community

Exactly. I don't understand why people get so salty about this stuff. Every company copies ideas to some degree, and ultimately they're just different devices for different people. I use a PC at home and work, but have an iPhone 7 Plus because I prefer the OS and I'm in the ecosystem already. That's not to say that I won't consider switching in the future because no phone will ALWAYS be the best. It's just important to be open-minded and then just choose what works for you. Competition and choices are good for the consumer!

iPhone 8:

- no SD slot (probably 32 GB the lowest size)
- Forced to use iTunes to load music (extremely annoying and complicated)
- Apple Pay pay sucks cause not many places accept it
- Smartwatches are limited on iPhones unless you use Apple Watch
- Typically lower battery capacity
- OS is very restrictive and limited (try sending files via Bluetooth, it's a nightmare)
- No wireless charging (maybe on the iPhone 8?)
- Small screen size (4.7 inch and 5.5 inch)
- Gets boring after awhile (can't customize anything)
- And most importantly NO HEADPHONE JACK! Better shell out for some Bluetooth earphones... What a waste, everything in my house has auxiliary.

How does an iphone have a lower battery capacity and yet an iphone 4, 5, 6 and 7 will go a full day (with like 10% or 20% the next day) of HEAVY use....and an android phone wont make a day? I am not a troll, I have never owned an iphone...my wife and kids do...I am an android guy, but I am going to be honest..I am not paying for anew phone (regardless of the price) that wont get through a full day of moderate use (I dont stream music, I dont play games and I dont watch video)...I use the phone a bit, I text a bit and I surf the news. I need a better battery. Honestly I am not sure that the marginally better other features (in your opinion) even together add up to half crap power plant.
