The first is Apple’s, iPhone X. It is the latest iPhone for the 10th anniversary of the line. Apple introduced the first iPhone in 2007. The second phone that is causing a lot of commotion is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 It is the 8th phone in this series. Along with the phone line, Samsung has also created phablets and tablets on the line as well. Both of these phones are causing a lot of attention. They have a lot of similarities. There are a few differences between the two phones as well.

1. Design

Both phones have a display that reaches from one edge to the other. Apple has also removed the buttons on the front of the phone that it has always deemed necessary. Apple still has a white bar on the side used to access the phone while the Note 8 is smooth to the edge.  

2. Picture Capture

The iPhone X is like all the other iPhones. It has some of the best cameras found. The Samsung Galaxy has a camera that allows users to see outside the window. The other feature is that iPhone has the portrait lighting ability. This is something that the Note 8 isn’t equipped with.

Apple has incorporated the new Face Id. It allows the phone to recognize users by their face dimensions. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 also has this ability. The Note 8 also has the ability to use your thumbprint or pattern as well. The iPhone did away with the home button so this is not an option anymore.
