Comparison review
The iPhone X has a global score of 88.1, which is much better than Galaxy S7 Active's global score of 75.8. IPhone X is a newer cellphone, and it's also way thinner and just a little bit lighter than the Galaxy S7 Active. Galaxy S7 Active has a bit more vivid screen than iPhone X, because although it has much more opaque display and a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a quite better 1440 x 2560 resolution and a bit higher number of pixels in each display inch.
Apple iPhone X features a much better storage capacity to store more apps and games than Galaxy S7 Active, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory capacity. The iPhone X has a greater hardware performance than Galaxy S7 Active, because although it has 1 GB less RAM, it also counts with a 64-bit processing unit and a larger number of cores.
Galaxy S7 Active has a much longer battery duration than iPhone X, because it has a 4000mAh battery size. Apple iPhone X shoots a bit better photos and videos than Galaxy S7 Active, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not so good for low light photos and videos, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution and a 12 mega-pixels resolution back-facing camera, the Apple iPhone X also counts with faster video frame rate.
Although iPhone X is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your money.
