If the speed has improved, that does help show that the software has been more optimized. You are not seeing the lag and stutters of yesteryear either. Thats showing it to me. Look at the task switching etc.....its showing better optimization and less animation lag. All of this can be seen in this video.
k well just so you know the Galaxy S8 got demolished by the iPhone 6s in that same speed test you love posting about:

tell me more about how the lag and stutters are of yesteryear and how Samsung "finally cracked it" while being beaten by over-two-year-old hardware

i cant wait to hear the excuses, such as "oh but that S8 was early before all the updates" or the "yeah the s8 was bad but the note 8 is a tooootally different story" lie that i've been dumb enough to fall for several times now each time i went out and tried one of these awful korean knockoffs

And thats running iOS 10...come back when its running iOS 11. Tell me how it performs now. LOL so many complaints with the iphone 6s and iOS 11. So you are no longer validated.

the iphone 8 got 2:07 while the s8 got >2:30... are you in denial or are you just selectively filtering out results that don't stroke your agenda?

Actually it is valid. iOS 11 is in its infancy, I'm fairly confident whatever version of Android Samsung is running is older than 3 weeks old. You can't compare a brand new unoptimized iOS version against what is likely to be one of the last updates the S8 receives.

Like I said, if is running iOS 10 that is now invalidated since it should be running iOS 11 in this present day. That doesn't take away the fact the S8 has had a major software update a few weeks ago either so I'm sure the S8 can easily take on even the iPhone 8.

Really, an iPhone 8 is running iOS 10? :rolleyes:

No its not....run both phones on their most current software. Bet you Samsung succeeds.

rofl i cant even.

you do know the 8 ships with ios 11 right? of course you dont

and i gotta love the "s8 has had a major software update" argument. why all of a sudden can we not apply that same argument to ios 11? i already know why but please do entertain

i know, i know, they're on 2 different videos. didnt mean to trick you by using 2 different sources

No it doesnt. The S8 runs smooth enough on 4 GB ram. That 6 gb Ram on the Note 8 becomes more handy since you multitask even more on the Note 8 than any other phone. Furthermore, some of us use DeX to turn our mobile device into a PC on the Note 8 which makes the experience even more smoother due to the extra ram.

That extra ram is not just to make the note 8 smooth, I believe the smoothness of the UX was due to the updated Samsung Experience UX (SOFTWARE) and not even the ram. The ram just allows us to hold more in memory. Thanks to it I can hold over 20 apps into memory and over 20 browser tabs without any reloads. Far more than you can do in Safari on iOS and any of your other iOS apps without reloading. I'm using my Note 8 as a fully functional productive device with S pen included to enhance that productivity. You cannot ask for anymore from a device that has this feature set and does a good job at it.
I also have a Note 8, it's an awesome phone but why are you using it as a computer? Also, I don't get the purpose of the Dex, why would I dedicate a mouse, keyboard, monitor and desk space to a mobile OS? It kind of reminds me of Motorola's goofy lapdock/webtop fail.
 
Can you READ? He said iPhone 8.

Sorry but you had one video with a Iphone 6S...do a better job at clarifying yourself.

Sure my reading level is beyond yours....

Do your research...there are many reasons.

Cool, so now we are resorting to insults? Tell that to my law school education. Grow up.

what the christ are you even talking about? i very clearly compared the iphone 8 to the s8. its not my fault you somehow missed half of the words on that 2-sentence post
Its cool, now he is criticizing my reading level because he can't read. :rolleyes:

Basically it's for this super common scenario where you just happen to have no computer, but a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and a desire to look the coolest you can possibly look while doing no real productive work of any value whatsoever.

It really is a killer selling point if you think about it
 
For further comparisons,

[doublepost=1507672504][/doublepost]
I did look into it, it just seems silly to carry around the Dex and all the **** needed to hook it up when I can just pull out my MBP or Galaxy Book and be done with whatever I needed to do.

Go to alternatives, there are threads on this and its use cases. If it doesn't make sense to you, dont use it or simply ignore it exists.
 
For further comparisons,

lol naturally this transitioned to "NAH PHONEBUFF IS FAKE APPLEIST CRAP, HERE LET ME GET YOU A REAL SOURCE FROM UH TECH TRINKETS HERE"

i've always stuck by phonebuff. not because iPhone usually won, but because they're as scientific about it as it gets. i've fully accepted that the note 8 is faster than iphone 8 running ios 11.0.

the fact that you run away to other sources the second they dont agree with you says a lot more about you than even your avatar and signature.
 
lol naturally this transitioned to "NAH PHONEBUFF IS FAKE APPLEIST CRAP, HERE LET ME GET YOU A REAL SOURCE FROM UH TECH TRINKETS HERE"

Nope just showing you that other comparisons exist. I'm not saying one is better than the other. LOL, quit adding your own crap into what I am actually trying to get at.:rolleyes:

That has to be the worst comparison video I have ever seen. That is even more unscientific than the already unscientific tests.

quit trying to find videos from relatively dead youtube channels to stroke your agenda. phonebuff's speedtests are the most scientific and the only ones worth looking at

Okay then lets go back to that Note 8 speed test comparision then. The one you are trying to make obsolete.
 
for an anti-apple samsung enthusiast, i gotta say, this guy spends waaay too much time in the iphone section.

if you were so secure in your phone being the best one on the planet, why spend so much time yelling at people for disagreeing with you? food for thought!

i am very not. i used the time that the iphone 8 achieved in that video as a source for like 3 different posts now....
