Good Essays

The smartphone industry is a very up and coming place. In the US, more than 77% of adults own a smartphone (Smith). There are many different kinds of smartphones. They can vary in shape, size, color, and brand. Two of the largest brands of smartphone are Samsung and Apple. They make two of the hottest phones on the market right now. Just recently Samsung made the Galaxy S8, and Apple came out with the iPhone 8. Both phones are reported to be top of the line. Both being high-end devices have many similarities, but they also have differences that set them far apart from each other. Let’s start off with one big difference between these two phones, the camera. “We’re again treated to a solitary 12-megapixel f/1.8 rear snapper… The Galaxy S8 comes with a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel rear camera” (Spendelow). The difference between the cameras here is that the Galaxy has a dual camera, whereas the iPhone does not. The iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X do have the dual camera if you’re willing to spend the extra money. These two phones also have different camera resolution. The Galaxy’s camera resolution is 2960 x 1440 pixels, and the iPhones is 1334 x 750 pixels (Bushnell). Between the two phones camera resolution, the Galaxy has the iPhone beat. The Samsung's front-facing camera is also a little bit better than the iPhone’s. The iPhone’s camera is 7 megapixels whereas the Samsungs is 8 megapixels (Kidman). However, the iPhone has reportedly been seen with warmer colors, helping with the contrast of pictures. Overall, the Samsung's dual rear camera and 8 megapixels front facing camera has the iPhone beat. Another big difference between the two phones is the hardware and internal specs. One main difference between these two phones is the two kinds of operating systems they use. Samsung uses Android 7.1.1, and the iPhone uses iOS 11. Two separate systems tailored to the devices’ needs. They both are top of the line operating systems and are the most up to date systems you can use (Kidman). Both operating systems are fine tuned to the use of the consumer and are both extremely customizable. The iPhone Has a 2GB RAM and uses the A11 Bionic processor, and the Galaxy has a 4GB RAM and uses the octa-core Exynos 8895 processor
