IPhone X has a bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a way lower resolution back facing camera, a smaller sensor capturing worse quality videos and photographs and a lower video resolution, it also counts with a larger diafragm aperture for better photos in poorly lited environments.
The Galaxy Note 5 counts with just a little bit longer battery life than Apple iPhone X, because it has a 10% larger battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone X is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy Note 5, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy Note 5. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone X, else you can save some dollars and get the Galaxy Note 5, resigning some specifications.
