Samsung Galaxy S9 today has the first benchmark for the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip that will be included in some of the models sold by the Koreans. We are talking about a completely new processor that will arrive in Android phones that will be launched on the market next year, but unfortunately the Samsung Galaxy S9 will have inferior performance iPhone X in the year 2018.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has, according to this benchmark, 20% better performance for the single-core and multi-core tests than the previous models launched by the Koreans. The Samsung Galaxy S9 also shows that it has better performance than any other Android phone models released so far, but they are inferior to those obtained by the iPhone X with its A11 Bionic chip.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will be sold by the Korean company in a version that has an Exynos 9810 chip, but it will not have different performances because there must be equality between the models. In this idea, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will have the performances you see below, maybe slightly higher, but nowhere near equal to those that the iPhone X offers to its users.
Samsung Galaxy S9. The benchmark that shows that it will be humiliated by the iPhone X in terms of performance
The Samsung Galaxy S9 should have offered performances as good as those of the iPhone X, but the reality is completely different, and the iPhone X will remain the king of performance in benchmarks. I say this because the iPhone X has the best performance in benchmarks, but in real use, the Samsung Galaxy S9 with 6 GB of RAM will surpass it in managing applications open in the background.
I did not expect the Samsung Galaxy S9 to perform better than the iPhone X in benchmarks because it was extremely hard to believe that Samsung or Qualcomm could reach the A11 Bionic chip. Apple managed to make an extremely powerful processor for the iPhone X, or iPhone 8, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 will remain inferior in 2018, Apple having an enormous advantage over its competitors.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is currently in full development in order to launch it on global markets, the Samsung company intending to present it in February at the Mobile World Congress 2018. The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 should take place sometime in February, if all they will line up properly for Koreans, but for now a possible date for putting the phone on sale is not known.
