Yes like everyone is rendering videos on there phone everyday.
Rendering video is a commonly used benchmark to test the CPU/GPU capabilities. It pushes the chips. One does not have to literally render video on their phone to acknowledge the results tasks like that give. An iPhone/iPad can render video faster than the vast majority of full on desktops.
The difference is, NO ONE should actually be paying $930 for a Note 8. I myself got $200 off for trading in a 5 year old iPhone 5, which is a value you won't come close to ANYWHERE else. That's not to mention the free wireless charger and SD card I got from pre-ordering.
Oh, and honestly, these devices aren't even comparable when it comes to features. There are so many useful features on android like real multitasking with split screen apps (which I'm always using), and not to mention all of the S-pen features that the Note 8 comes with. Basically, the Note 8 is a swiss army knife, and the iPhone X is just a knife with regards to features.
I have both phones, oh, and my Note 8 runs much smoother than my 7+ on iOS 11, which stutters on simple app opening animations.
I am not trolling, how reliable is Iris Scan ? if it is reliable why is Samsung giving options for Touch ID, Iris ID, Face ID, i think it is redundant to have so many options. Just stick with one.
Yeah it is not even an actual iris scanner if it can be fooled by a picture. That people are claiming that is the future are silly. This advancement by Apple is far past what the note is doing with their fake scanner.
You’re honestly rendering your videos on a phone?
Even 256 gb isn’t much for 4K
But hey... I can render videos faster on my iPhone and run everyday programs slower
So essentially you’re saying the Note 8 is a “jack of all trades, master of none” and iphone is “a killing machine with one purpose”
And everything you list are just features you find personally useful. Not everyone does. Not everyone agrees that split screen on such a small screen size is even useful. Most people who have owned Note phones barely use the pen. That is fact and even brought up amongst Android fans themselves. You would see more smartphone manufacturers following suit with their own note/pen line up if it truely was something other than gimmick.
Iris scan on the s8/note 8 has been fooled. Takes a bit more effort than using just a photo, but it already has been proven to be fooled.
Of course you are because Apple could not of possibly produced something superior to Android.
You forget that the same “small” screen from Samsung comes with super Amoled and has almost double the pixels of an iPhone 8 plus. So it’s much more crisp like the iPhone X. And by that more handful for split screen use. Apple will come with pencil input for their iPhones too. Just a couple of years later like adopting oled.
According to salty MR members, Apple does not innovate anymore. So it must be true.
here is the thing people still don't understand, Apple will use existing technology make it better & use friendly, so that people will actually use it. Apple didn't invent anything, no other manufacturer is inventing anything, all these technologies have been invented long time ago, none of these companies are doing basic research, they are taking existing technology & using in their products, it is all about how the feature is packaged in a product, how reliable & repeatable it is. my ThinkPad T60 had fingerprint reader in 2006, touch ID on an iPhone uses similar technology, but how you use it is different, if T60 had finer print sensor then why did it take Samsung 3 years after iPhone had it ?
Tell me how many people used Windows Hello, Windows has 1 billion users, now wait & see how many people will use Face ID. if Windows/Android is confident that their tech (Windows Hello, Iris Scan) works reliably why are they providing 10 different options, like Samsung providing Iris Scan, Face ID, Touch ID.
Resolution has practically zero play in making split screen viable. It doesn’t magically make the screen big enough to offer real benefits to using split screen.
You can say that again.
Do most people carry Swiss Army Knives?
Might explain why the Note series is not Samsung's most popular model.
People generally appear not to need Swiss Army Knives as an everyday item.
YMMV
there are around 10 components in Face ID not just the camera, and Samsung makes A series processor, and A Series processors are better then Exynox. thats why Samsung doesn't use Exynox in US phones.
I am sure that Apple is paying through the nose for all the patents in this set up. Hence the 1100 price tag.
I use Windows Hello on my laptop all the time. It is very cool to just open it up and have it unlock itself. After a while it is just one of those thing you don't think about.
Sort of like wireless charging with Android phones. You just drop the phone on the charger pad when you sit down and pick it up when you need it. It is always at 100% when you pick it up. I imagine the experience will be the same for iPhone X users.
As far as Samsung providing all those options, that is a Samsung issue. Their DNA is to really push the tech envelope and see what users like.
You’re right. I need a minimal an iPhone plus for split screen use. Oh wait the Samsung comes with bigger screen than the iPhone 8 plus. The bezels are just gone away and the phone itself has about the same size.
ARM processors have been in phones for decades, i don't know what is great about A Series processors compared to what Nokia used like 20 years ago in their flip phones, they are basically same processors based on same technology.
A Series chips are customed designed by engineers at Apple that are now beginning to rival intel chips in laptop/desktop computers (A11 benchmarks similar to the intel chip used in the 13” 2017 MacBook Pro.) Nonone else making ARM chips are able to achieve that or are even close.
There are a number of advantages to face recognition, including tracking when the user is actually looking at their device to power the display on, which is convenient. TouchID isn't coming back.
