Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Ties iPhone 8 Plus in DxO Labs Camera Test

[Michael Goff]

So now DxOMark will be relevant again?

Everything but the scores are relevant. The scores mean nothing.

No disagreement with any of this. I too would never use a glass phone without a case, so that whole thing is kind of moot. I have here an iPhone 6s+ and Note 8, both in minimalist Spigen cases and in the dark I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. I actually prefer the narrower taller Note 8 because I can use it one handed easier.

Agree face is not ready for prime time, which is why I would never by an iPhone X. I could be completely wrong, but I think its going to cause a lot of frustration with some users. We'll see. Apple has certainly put a lot of energy and innovation into making it work, but don't care for the Texas Hold 'Em "all in" approach they've taken with it, on something I use all day every day.

Its a great time to have such good choices that we are down to personal preference on things like photos and able to pick what we want!

We agreed on most things, except for Samsung's facial recognition versus Face ID. Samsung's has been proven to be insecure, as for Apple's implementation, no one has a device to test in the wild yet (well, without an NDA that is).

I generally don't drop my devices, but I do prefer to have something on them capable of taking the lumps because when I do drop one, it's usually in spectacular fashion. I've accidentally thrown my 4S at the ground and had my One M8 go skipping across a parking lot.
