Overall both are equal when it comes to video and photo capturing facilities.

Software and Ecosystem

iPhone X comes with iOS 11 while Samsung S9/S9+ both are packed with the latest version of Android i.e. Oreo 8.0  Switching from one operating system to another would be a question of personal preference. iPhone X integrates better with Apple TV, iPad etc. devices which are built to use Mac OS. In turn, it is easy to transfer data between them.

Google services although are Apple aware, it would be cumbersome to share audios/videos from Android to iDevices and vice-versa.

Mileage: None

Sim Card

Despite excellent efforts put by the team who created iPhone X, it has missed a cherry topping on top of a cake. Unfortunately, it has single GSM slot to insert sim.

Today, when most people want to keep personal and professional life separate, dual sim facility is absolutely necessary.

Both Samsung S9 and S9+ have 2 slots for nano size, GSM+GSM cards.

Battery
Both offer vantage for wireless charging.

Fast charging is provided in iPhone X and S9+, not in S9.

If we consider size, Samsung battery is little bigger than iPhone X but size is not the right factor to determine long-lasting usage before next recharge.

It seems that Apple is gradually fading up its mobile supremacy with upcoming releases of dull mobile models.

As we prop-up head-to-head comparison, it reveals that exciting features that were expected in iPhone X have not come up.

From our tests, Galaxy S9 is found to have slightly longer battery life but we are not ready to declare it as full test cycle is not completed.

Mileage: To be decided, None for now
