The flagships of 2017
Yeah, the 999 iPhone X because of the Note's higher price tag, but don't overlook the Galaxy S8 (850).
The Galaxy S8's display is the same size as the iPhone X's, at 5.8 inches, and both screens use OLED technology for eye-popping colors and ultrawide viewing angles. The 6.2-inch Galaxy gives you an even bigger screen than the iPhone X but still costs less dough.
But the iPhone X has some secret weapons of its own, including an all-new design, dual rear cameras, Face ID and a superfast A11 Bionic processor. Which phone is right for you? Read on.
Design:
There's no question that the Galaxy S8 and iPhone X are two of the most beautiful phones of the year. The iPhone X has a near edge-to-edge screen up front and an elegant glass back available in Silver and Space Gray. The stainless-steel band that runs along the outside of the phone really pops while giving the handset a very sturdy feel.

The Galaxy S8's Infinity Display is even sexier, though, as it's curved and doesn't have a notch that interrupts the flow of the front of the phone, which the iPhone X has. Both the S8 and iPhone X are water-resistant, but only Samsung's phone includes a headphone jack and microSD card slot.
Lastly, at 5.5 ounces, the S8 is a little lighter than the 6.1-ounce iPhone X. In fact, the S8+ weighs the same as the iPhone X, even though the S8+ has a bigger, 6.2-inch screen. The S8+ is taller, though, which makes it more of a stretch for one-hand use.
Display:
Samsung has long been the leader in OLED screens for phones, but it's now been leapfrogged. In side-by-side tests, the iPhone X's (2436 x 1125) panel delivered a brighter image, wider viewing angles and better contrast than the displays on the S8 and S8+ (both 2960 x 1440 pixels).

Take this photo of a lake and surrounding mountains. On the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the sky is a deeper blue, but the iPhone X's display delivers a more-vibrant green grass and truer whites in the clouds. The clouds in the S8+'s screen look more magenta.
In addition, the brighter panel on the iPhone X gives it wider viewing angles. Under normal, indoor conditions, the iPhone X hit 574 nits, compared to 543 nits for the S8 and 475 nits for the S8+.
The displays on the S8 and S8+ do cover more of the sRGB color gamut, exceeding 180 percent, versus 123 percent for the iPhone X.
Cameras
Given that the iPhone X has dual rear cameras and the S8 has a single shooter, you would think this wouldn't be a fair fight. But that's not the case. Samsung's phone more than held its own when pitted against Apple's flagship. But I would definitely prefer the camera of the iPhone. Because of its dual sensors. You may check result photos via google.
Battery Life
The iPhone X lasts longer than the Galaxy S8 but not as long as the S8+.

On the Tom's Guide Battery Test, which involves surfing the web on 150 nits of screen brightness, the iPhone X endured for 10 hours and 49 minutes. That's about an hour longer than the smartphone average, and it's in between the run times from the Galaxy S8 (10:39) and S8+ (11:04).
Value
This round is a no-brainer. The Galaxy S8 starts at a much lower 250 less than the iPhone X. The Galaxy S8+ starts at $850, and the only difference is the larger, 6.2-inch display. You can't order a model with more internal storage, but you can upgrade via a microSD card.
My CHOICE:
Well guys in the end i'd say that I'm an iOS guy. I prefer the iphone, not because I'm an Apple user but definitely because of its high functioning features and the beautiful design.
