iPhone 8 Plus – Underperforms Galaxy Note 8

The iPhone 8 Plus has lower performance than the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in a new performance test that reveals problems with the new phone in iOS 11.

8 iPhone Plus has lower performance than the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in a new performance test that aims to show us how big the difference between the phones is. You can see in the video clip below that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 it is superior to the iPhone 8 Plus in terms of performance in daily use, and the difference is not great, but it still exists, in a completely inexplicable way.

The iPhone 8 Plus has more processing power than the iPhone 7 Plus, which humiliated the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but this doesn't really matter in the end, because now the new phone loses. The iPhone 8 Plus does not do well in opening native applications, or Facebook and Snapchat, it recovers in games, but loses again to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 when it comes to reopening applications in the background.

The iPhone 8 Plus wins the first part of the performance test in front of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, although by a small margin, but loses in the second because it is not able to keep applications open in the background. We have also seen this problem in previous performance tests, exactly the same problem appearing for the iPhone 8 Plus in front of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and it seems that it represents a big problem for Apple.

iPhone 8 Plus – lower performance Galaxy Note 8

The iPhone 8 Plus either has bad changes made in iOS 11 that limit its memory management system compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, or the applications are not optimized. Considering that only a few days have passed since the launch of the iPhone 8 Plus, it is possible that the second situation is the real one, and iOS 11.0.1 was not installed on it before the test with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, so it is possible that the update should solve some problems.

Until then, the iPhone 8 Plus remains inferior to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in performance and with a very big problem in terms of RAM memory management for applications open in the background. Unfortunately for those at Apple, this is starting to become a serious problem that could show that the iPhone 8 Plus did not receive the necessary attention before the launch and may be surpassed by phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The iPhone 8 Plus has these problems in a completely inexplicable way since the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was outperformed by the iPhone 7 Plus in many tests. With the iPhone 7 Plus, I have never seen the problems with keeping applications open in the background, it still has 3 GB of RAM, so it is possible that Apple has reduced the performance of the iPhone 8 Plus in order not to make it attractive for those who want to buy it iPhone X
