FPS = frames per second. Not first person shooter.
60 FPS gaming...such as Asphalt 9 or Fortnite. THAT is what a good chip can do for you!
Display...notch is fine...why? Because Apple requires apps to optimized for it. Not a big deal. Developers have no issue with notch.
What matters more is color management or lack of on Android.

"We would give the
Galaxy Note 9 an A rating: Very good brightness with high brightness mode, great gamma control, photos app has some color management. But, it still has black clipping, and we found the color accuracy in the calibrated profiles to not be too impressive. The
iPhone X and the iPhone Xs both receive A+ ratings: It has a stellar manual brightness range without utilizing high brightness mode, zero black clipping over its 8-bit intensity range, smart PWM control, the best color accuracy we have measured, good gamma control, and excellent color management with an OS that utilizes wide color. These very noticeable and experience-affecting differences allow it to pull ahead of the Note 9 based on the qualities of the display and how its software handles it...."
As for camera...dude, there is no comparison. Smart HDR on XS kills Note 9 in pretty much every way...from pics to 4k video.
