You can find a lot of information regarding this on the interwebs. Simply put... the user BEHIND the camera has more to say with how good a photo will be when it comes to a quality photo from either a Samsung S8 or an iPhone X.
When I was heavily into photography (Canon 40D and a Tamron 18-250mm lens) - it shocked me how pros would grab a super cheap P&S and produce stuff that looked 500x better than the most expensive DSLR. So now, I just use my phone and work on the thing behind the device.
Both are great - what matters more is the person behind it.
To answer your question - what I've read seems to indicate that Samsung is slightly passing Apple in rendering, speed, etc... It hops back and forth a lot --- I've looked at tons of comparisons and the ball goes in both courts for a lot of the shots - but it seems like the Samsung is doing really well in low light shots. My experience in the real world (with other samsung users (not scientific at all)) - still appears like they have a ways to go for all scenarios.

And it's been 6 months since since the latest iPhone was released. 😎

That is why it is best to sit back and pretend this is all a bad movie!
We all need to "get along and hug it out"!😛

It'll probably be the same as the regular version. I'd put a substantial sum on the only difference being the 'pro' getting the Watch Edition treatment and being made from a more expensive material.

Which iphone? Each model isnt the same since plus models were available. Samsung puts the same camera in their plus and non plus model but Apple doesn't do that.
