Samsung Galaxy S9 has officially confirmed that the performances will be inferior to those offered by the iPhone X, and this is because the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 was tested by the American press. The Qualcomm company allowed those from the American press to test the new chip with the processor that will be used in the Samsung Galaxy S9 this year, and those performance tests from the previous weeks proved to be completely true.
The Samsung Galaxy S9, as you can see in the images below, will be the most powerful Android smartphone on the market, but that does not mean that it will also be the most powerful smartphone on the market in 2018. The score obtained by the new Qualcomm chip The Snapdragon 845 in the tests is 2000 points lower than the iPhone X in the multi-core test, and another 2000 points lower than the single-core test, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be affected.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip in the US and some other Asian markets, but the performance offered by it will be identical to that of the Exnos 9810 chip, which will have a processor made by Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S9 will NOT have significantly higher performance differences, and here I mean 200-300 points, between the Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810 chip models, so don't think about it.
Samsung Galaxy S9 - will have worse performance than the iPhone X
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will perform better than the iPhone X on the video side, according to the first performance tests, and that would be a major surprise, but the differences will not be that big. However, processor power is more important, and here the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be inferior according to the tests done with Geekbench, but in AnTuTU it could be a different situation, there the Snapdragon 845 score exceeds 260.000 points.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 could get better scores in AnTuTu than the iPhone X thanks to the video card, which is superior, but on the processor side it can't be better since it gets lower scores in Geekbench. However, Samsung has been proven in the past to be a company that cheats in performance measurement tests, so it is not excluded that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will do the same thing and artificially and temporarily increase its working frequencies for the processor.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will still have a huge advantage over the iPhone X through the Plus model, which has 6 GB of RAM and the ability to keep many applications open in the background, which the iPhone X cannot do. Samsung Galaxy S9 will be officially presented by the Korean company in an event that will take place on February 25 at 19:00, the launch may take place on March 9 or 16, 2018.
