Galaxy S10 Slower than iPhone X! Does it matter

Samsung is Expected to Unveil its Galaxy S10 at a Special Media Event

Recently, a special media event was announced, and it's set to take place on February 20th in San Francisco. This event is expected to be the platform for Samsung to unveil its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S10. A supposedly official Samsung press image was leaked by Eevee leaks, suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy S10 lineup will feature three handsets. The top-end Galaxy S10 plus is rumored to be one of the first phones to pack in a Snapdragon 855 processor.

Benchmark Scores for the Snapdragon 855

Benchmarks for the Snapdragon 855 have also leaked, specifically on Geekbench 4 scores. However, there's an interesting twist here. The iPhone 10 from 2017, powered by Apple's A11 Bionic processor, actually scored higher in both single and multicore tests compared to the leaked Galaxy S10 benchmarks. This is a surprise, given that the A11 Bionic was released several years ago.

Comparing the iPhone XS and the S10

When it comes to the iPhone XS and the 10s Max, there's basically no comparison. The iPhone XS scored incredibly well in everything from processor to graphics performance. In fact, it even managed a higher score than any other smartphone on the market - an Andruil's Graphics Benchmark of 364,000. However, Tutu itself recently tested a reference device packed with a Snapdragon 855 and managed a score of 362,000 in Anu's Graphics Benchmark, which is extremely similar to the iPhone XS Max.

The Implications for the iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy Flagship Debate

Flagship smartphones these days are reaching such high levels of hardware performance that nearly all but the most power-demanding apps run smoothly. Almost everything you can do on a flagship smartphone runs perfectly fine, even though the iPhone XS Max is significantly more powerful than the iPhone 10. However, it's not easy to feel those differences in everyday use.

Epic Games and Fortnite

Recently, Epic Games released a patch allowing 2018 iPhones to run Fortnite at 60 frames per second at high settings. This makes for an amazing gaming experience that you simply can't get on an older smartphone. When comparing the iPhone XR against the Note 9 while playing Fortnite, the 10R's powerful A12 processor was able to run the game perfectly. However, the Note 9 struggled with some dropped frames even at only 30 frames per second.

The Need for Demanding Apps

These types of demanding apps or games are what we really need to actually feel the extra power in the latest flagship phones. Unfortunately, there just aren't very many apps that can use these phones to their full potential. For that reason, you likely won't see much of a difference between Samsung's Galaxy S10 and the iPhone 10s Max in real-world use.

The Final Verdict

The purchasing choice you make really comes down to which operating system you enjoy using more. That's all there is to it. Samsung should be announcing the S10 line of smartphones on February 20th, and will definitely be picking one up so we can compare it to the iPhone XS Max if you'd like to see that.
