Which one is best for you?
Both iPhone X and Galaxy Note9 have powerful batteries, dual camera lenses that make better pictures, and both phones have an IP68 rating which means they’re resistant to splash, water and dust.
It’s nearly impossible to take a bad shot with the Galaxy Note9 as the Flaw Detection feature intelligently corrects any blinking or blurring.
But with iPhone X, you can take studio-quality portrait selfies, using the TrueDepth camera and the new Portrait Lighting features.
