Note 9 vs iPhone X: In-Depth Camera Test Comparison

In this video I compare 2 of the best smartphone cameras out right now: the iPhone X versus the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I compare the two cameras in low light, challenging light, and great light. I also look at images shot both inside and outside. I take a look at the portrait mode of the iPhone X, and compare it to the results of the Live Focus mode of the Note 9. I also look at the 4K video, and the fact that the Note 9 and iPhone X both have dual optical image stabilization. I also take a look at the front facing video and microphone qualities of each phone. Then in lowlight, I take a look at the Note 9's dual aperture abilities and see how the f/1.5 aperture mode performs at night, and the iPhone X's impressive lowlight capabilities. In this video you will see a lot of high quality test shots, and side by side comparisons.

If any of you can pick one out of the other is not by much , This are baby steps these cameras improvements over the other no much to brag about regardless which one wins .

[@tylerg8031]

I agree and to have a brand new device with new camera tech and software barely beat a year old one out in categories that Samsung raved about in there live release says how good apple is doing when a year old device can keep up to brand new. I just dislike iOS so I will always have an Android of some type as a second device in the family for more flexibility.

[@lenswatson]

Great as usaual.

[@yahshaunyahu]

The iPhone x justifies the price of their 256gb model just by storage alone. Nothing else, not even a bump in ram. Priced at 1149 lol. So the note 9s 512gb is double the iPhone x storage for only a 100$ more and of course ppl are still complaining. The based iPhone is 999 at 64 GB lol 64gb for a 1k $ phone lol are you serious??? The base note 9 is double the storage at 128gb with the same price. It's literally 50$ more than the note 8, with double the storage of the base note 8. LG, iphone, pixel , Samsung users get a 300$-450$ discount for upgrdging, knocking the price down to 699-549$, and 950-800$ for 512gb wow. With the base model at 6gb of ram and top model at 8gb of ram. How can you beat that?

[@kimjongoof5000]

D- Sean Ram in iPhones barely matter as the software is highly optimized so 2GB of ram is pretty good for my experience. Plus, I can also trade in my iPhone 7 Plus and get over 300$ off the iPhone X

[@himanshuchamoli8269]

@@kimjongoof5000 Ram may be good for some apps but when you will open big apps Than 3gb ram starts swapping apps out of memory Plus Note 9 is offering so much for same price tag

[@kimjongoof5000]

Himanshu Chamoli I understand your decision

[@tylerg8031]

I got the iPhone x 256gb but for a good trade in deal for my note 8 and a $100 Best buy card so I paid user $300 unlocked . I don't understand what the issue is, as far back as 6 months ago you could have gotten an iPhone x without trade in for less the $500 on a contract ($600 for 256gb). Unless you change phones every few months and carrier all the time you will have it for at least a year. Which with and iPhone x you will still be able to sell for at least $500 or more on Kijiji or swappa. So it's not really as expensive as it looks if you know how to buy and sell and keep your phone in good shape. I just sold and iPhone 7 plus that's 2 years old almost for $500 and only paid $50 on contract for it when it was 5 months old. I made money on it after paying off the remainder of the contract.

[@shaneweightman]

This remark isn’t aimed at you or your channel , but if you want to take good pictures you buy a nice camera ,, if I wanna make a phone call that’s why I bought a phone ,, I have cameras that you can enlarge the photograph up to the size of a door 🚪, and it still looks good ,, on these phones your viewing a given image the size of a piddly screen 5 by 3 or what ever,, be nice to see a photograph these phones have taken enlarged 10 by 12 inches and see how good they look then ,,,,, my point ,, if you wanna take great pictures you buy a great camera ,,,, not a poxy phone and that’s all it is ,,,,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧 I have a note 9,, it’s just a phone ,,and not a bad one ☝️

[@MaheshWalatara]

I prefer the iPhone- also ur nose looks less prominent in those darker iphone shots.

[@nipunsharma5351]

Hi MTG! I've been using the note9 since March 24. I've been testing the cameras more than anything else. I've noticed that there is a significant compression and digital artifacts in the images upon zooming into them. They look nice zoomed out, but I can't unsee the heavy processing that makes the images look artificial and heavily processed. This is particularly noticeable with leaves, tree branches on an overcast day with HDR on. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

[@lbeetech]

The Note9 has not been out since March...busted!

[@nipunsharma5351]

What I meant was August. I got the s9+ in March. I had that date in mind.

[@lbeetech]

Almost every reviewer disagrees with you...

[@nipunsharma5351]

@@lbeetech Well, not all of them. Many have mentioned it but only in passing suggesting that it's no big deal. But I see it. And I'm not convinced that it is a flagship level processing in a camera so hyped. The front camera too, is basically trash, taking way too soft photos... This has been well documented in various reviews on KZbin. The selfie focus is also no better. Sometimes I feel that this is a budget phone experience that I am getting while paying top dollar.

[@lbeetech]

@@nipunsharma5351 That's your opinion, but oversharpening doesn't make a picture better. The Note9 is a overall better device, the camera is not trying to be the best, just very good...and that's okay in my opinion.

[@valentinomc]

Pixel 2 xl is old phone as well but is beyond both note9 and iPhone X.

Every phone I ever used with the Google pixel camera download looks better. It's software (it has to have a patent or something on the software otherwise everyone who do it). But you have to like Google type pics, a little different looking g I'd you pick at the picture features.
