How Apple's iPhone X stacks up to the Galaxy Note 8

If you've checked your YouTube subscription box over the past few hours, you've probably seen a heap of iPhone X unboxings, first impressions, and reviews. The hype for Apple's latest flagship is real, and even if you're not a fan of the iPhone/iOS, there's no denying that this is one of Apple's biggest products in a number of years.

Apple fanatics will likely be blown away by what the iPhone X has to offer, but how does the device stack up to other Android phones? More specifically, how does the iPhone X compare to Samsung's Galaxy Note 8?

One of our forum users posted this question, and here's what some of you had to say in response.

I actually like the gestures and was a fan of Webos... If the camera turns out to be unbelievably amazing and only if Face ID works better than the Iris scanner- it would have to work at all angles regularly, the I'd probably get one. Otherwise I'm happy with my N8 powerhouse and Pixel 2

I came from an iPhone 6s plus and as soon as I saw this phone during the Samsung keynote I knew I had to have it. I decided not to wait for iPhone X pre orders to start and went ahead and pre ordered this Note 8. So glad I...

The funny thing is that I exchanged my unlocked Note 8 for an iPhone 8 Plus just because Apple updates its software whenever a new problem is out there, like the latest WiFi bug. The Pixel 2 XL's screen is trash so that's why I didn't pick that up. As for the iPhone X, I will be waiting outside Best Buy on November 3rd with the hopes of scoring a 256GB silver one.

With that said, we'd like to know – How do you think the iPhone X stacks up to the Galaxy Note 8 (or any Android phone for that matter)?
