The Samsung Galaxy S9 may not have hit the drop but when it does it will be meeting its rival iPhone X head to head or more like screen to screen. All of us are confused which smartphone to invest in. We don’t know the specs of Galaxy S9 so far, there has been various of leaks and buzzes, so based on that let’s compare the two.

DESIGN

From what we have heard iPhone X and the S9 both features a superior all glass design fenced by a metal frame and both will meet eye to eye by their bezel less display. From the renders of S9 leaked we know for a fact that it doesn’t features a small notch at the top of display unlike iPhone does.

While we aren’t sure of specific dimensions of S9, but we do expect it to be a little skinnier and thinner compared to iPhone X. The S9 shave some weight off with every new release so it is expected that iPhone X is going to be heavier than the Galaxy S9.
