Comparison review
IPhone X has an overall score of 88.1, which is a little bit better than Galaxy S9's 83.3 score.

Samsung Galaxy S9 counts with a screen that is very similar to the iPhone X one, and although the Samsung Galaxy S9 has a higher resolution of 1440 x 2960 and a bit greater amount of pixels in each screen inch, they both have a screen with the same size.

The iPhone X counts with a greater storage for applications and games than Samsung Galaxy S9, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with more internal storage capacity.
The Galaxy S9 counts with just a bit longer battery life than iPhone X, because it has a 10 percent more battery capacity. Samsung Galaxy S9 counts with a slightly better camera than Apple iPhone X, and although they both have the same video frame rates, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and a back facing camera with a 12 mega pixels, the Samsung Galaxy S9 also has a bigger back-facing camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors and a bigger aperture.
Although iPhone X is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Samsung Galaxy S9, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Samsung Galaxy S9. If you want to save some money, you can buy Samsung Galaxy S9, letting go a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your money.
