​Samsung’s latest phone has virtually the same stats as an iPhone X but over €200 Cheaper

Step this way Android fans...

You don't have to be the smartest tool in the shed to know that a Samsung Galaxy is better than an iPhone. Often years ahead in its technology, features and accessibility the south Korean company loses out to Apple because of inferior marketing and usability. So it should come as no surprise that, within a year of iPhone releasing its all singing all dancing, top of the line and everything else X - Samsung has done the same 20 per cent cheaper. On the face of it, the Galaxy S9 looks like a winner when it comes to processing power. 4GB of RAM plays 3GB. But because iOS handles memory differently to Android, the Apple A11 Bionic chip merks Samsung and everyone else with lightning fast speed. Battery life and charge time are relatively similar between the two, as are camera quality and software. It's really a matter of personal preference. But the S9 comes for the X on pricing.
