Comparison review
The iPhone X has a global score of 88.1, which is a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition's 80.4 global score. Although the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition were only released with a few months difference, iPhone X's design is just a little heavier but just a little thinner than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition.
Apple iPhone X has a bit better hardware performance than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has 2 less processing cores (but faster) and lesser RAM, it also counts with a 64-bit CPU. The iPhone X features a little more vivid display than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has a quite worse pixels density and a little bit lower 1125 x 2436 resolution, it also counts with a quite bigger display.
IPhone X features a little bit better camera than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for taking images and video in poorly lited situations and a smaller back camera sensor capturing lower quality photos, and they both have a 12 megapixels resolution back-facing camera and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the iPhone X also counts with higher 60 frames per second video frame rate.
Apple iPhone X features a much better storage to store more apps and games than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory. The Galaxy Note Fan Edition counts with better battery duration than iPhone X, because it has a 3200mAh battery size instead of 2716mAh.
Although iPhone X is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Galaxy Note Fan Edition. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the iPhone X, else you can save some money and get the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, letting go a couple specs and features.
