Now, it is important to note that the iPhone 8 Plus has the same chipset configuration as the iPhone , that is , A11 CPU plus 3GB RAM. So this speed test represent the same outcome you would have while using a the yet to be shipped iPhone X. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a Snapdragon 835, the chipset that has been running on Android flagships since the beginning of the year. It is a bit unfair comparing it with the brand new A11 but there isn’t a successor to it in the market yet. With that information in mind, watch the video below done by David from All Buff No Fluff.

In the end, the iPhone 8 Plus excels in opening intensive apps such as games due to the faster GPU while the Note 8 flies through the standard apps such as social networks. On the other hand, the Note 8 wins in multitasking since its apps remain in the RAM for easy access unlike the iPhone 8 Plus, thanks to the huge 6GB RAM.
