We know how important is the design for you so that’s why we want to show all the characteristics
and advantages of the latest cellphone world trends .Both phones have the same form factor that’s
called Candybar. When you’re looking for a new cellphone you usually look at the dimensions, in the
case of the Apple iPhone x are very standard, it isn’t too small or too big, different to other models, on
the other hand the Samsung galaxy s10+ measures 6.20x2.92x0.31 inches, which is bigger than the
iPhone X. About weight, both cellphones surpass the average (171g or 6 oz),iPhone with 6.14 oz
(174g) and Samsung with 6.17 oz (175 g) being 0.03 oz heavier than the iPhone. Neither Samsung
nor iPhone are that light, aren’t they? Another difference could be the material, something very
important to choose a new phone, they’re both fabricated with a back of glass, but if you want a good
frame, you’d like to read this! Samsung counts with aluminum, while iPhone counts with stainless
steel that tends to last more than aluminum. Then when it comes to resistance, iPhone can resist
water and dust. Likewise, Samsung is also strong enough to avoid these elements and there is a
small difference regarding the IP certified: IP 67(iPhone) and IP68(Samsung).Then, if you want to
know about Biometrics, let us tell you that iPhone counts with a 3D face unlock, while Samsung has a
2D face unlock and in screen fingerprint. And now talking of the keys, in the two telephones are the
same (left: volume control Right: lock/unlock key. And finally we have the colors; iPhone comes in
two: Gray and silver, in contrast Samsung’s variety is bigger than the iPhone’s one since it comes in
black, green, blue and white.

There are a lot of things that we consider a phone should have when we are about to buy it; many
people could just care about the appearance of the phone, others in the camera. It also depends in
who is going to buy it, in the use of the device in the life of each buyer. We have to talk about these
aspects that can be so important to take into account; the hardware, the performance and the battery,
this information is very important, because maybe we don´t get all the details but these are the main
things that we complain about when something starts to go wrong.

Firstly, the apple's processor is faster than the Samsung's processor so keep that in mind. Besides
that, both processors are excellent. The graphics of both cellphones are great there is not much
difference. Another aspect is that the apple's ram is of 3Gb and the Samsung's ram is of 8Gb, also the
Samsung's ram is better than the apple's ram. The apple's storage is 256Gb and the Samsung's
storage is 128 Gb, though the Samsung's storage is of less capacity is able of a storage expansion of
up to 512Gb. The Samsung also has a maximum user storage of 109Gb. Both phones are
smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S10+ battery lasts approximately 170 hours. On the other hand
the battery capacity of Iphone X is just 113 hours when the phone is in a stand by mode, but It is a
long time anyway. Both cellphones, s10+ and Iphone X, don´t have a replaceable battery for users.
Moreover, to charge the phone, Iphone has two options: USB Power Delivery, Qi wireless charging,
but S10+ has some different options: Quick Charge 2.0, USB Power Delivery, Samsung Adaptive
Fast Charging, Qi and Powermat wireless charging, also it has Reverse wireless charging. Iphone X
has excellent specifications when we talk about talk time, music playback and video playback.
However, S10+ also has very good characteristics.
In conclusion both hardware are excellent, if you want speed so you have to choose the iPhone X, but
if you want storage so you could choose the Samsung S10, though it have less storage you can add
an expansion that, although it does not come included is up to 512Gb, very superior to the 256Gb of
iPhone X. Both cellphones have a good battery for normal users, like using WhatsApp and Facebook
and Instagram, but there is just one problem with Iphone X; you don't have as many ways to charge
your phone as S10+. However, it won´t be a huge problem for normal users, only if you are a person
that likes other options to charge your phone than just the USB.

adapter that allows you to connect it to the cell phone or not, while Samsung Galaxy S10+ has

Camera:

If the camera is the key aspect you are looking for in a smartphone when you are about to buy a new
one, then you could be interested in this article.
We know that the camera, for some people, is the most important part of a smartphone, due to the
importance of posting the best selfie to some social media such as Instagram, Facebook, twitter,
among others, and that is why in this review we are going to be comparing the camera of the
smartphones Apple iPhone X, and the Samsung Galaxy S10+. We hope this information could be
helpful for you.
Starting with the iPhone x that has 12-megapixel dual camera on the rear, the same as the Samsung
Galaxy S10+, it also has 12-megapixel cameras, but triple camera on the rear, this will allow you to
get a higher quality in all your photos, as all three cameras work in different aspects of the photo to
give it the highest quality.
Now, let’s talk about the hardware of the cameras, the IPhone x has a sapphire crystal lens that is
really durable, almost impossible to scratch, and is a very clear crystal, while the lens of the Samsung
S10+ camera is not that resistant. And regards to the flash, the Samsung S10+ has a luminous LED
on the rear. Nonetheless, the Iphone X has a Quad LED that is more luminous and is very useful for
places with less lightning.
The Iphone X has a 7-megapixel camera on the front with High Dynamic Range mode(HDR); images
from the front camera look good in everything but low light, where things become soft-looking as the
software attempts to aggressively smooth out the noise. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ has
dual camera and HDR with autofocus. This makes it perfect for selfies, since the dual camera and the
HDR fix all the low lightning and gives a better quality, excellent for taking the perfect selfie with your
friends.
Both of the cameras have telephoto lens, with a longer focal length than standard, it provides a
123-degree field of view that captures more of what’s in front of you without forcing you to back up…
back up… back up… just to get the shot you want.
In relation to the video recording, both the Iphone X and the Samsung S10+ have a HDR mode, video
calling, video sharing, and optical image stabilization. They both are perfect for slow motion, since
they can record very well. But if you want the most accurate and detailed video, then, we recommend
you the iPhone X, it is more accurate with objects and very suited to any light condition.
​In short, we recommend you the iPhone, as we have said before, which has a lot of options and
tools. Both, on video and in photos, it will be very useful for you to make the best shot you need,
either, on video or in a photo. One of the most significant qualities of this smartphone is that it
captures the colors as they are in reality, much more saturated and brighter than the Samsung’s
photo. This quality is perfect for taking photos in whichever environment you find yourself.
On the other hand, if you want a smartphone for taking the best selfie for your social media then, you
should consider the iPhone S10+, considering that its dual front camera will give you the 100 likes
photo.
