Samsung GALAXY S10 has presented today for the first time a proof of the fact that it is going to be inferior iPhone XS in a segment where it matters a lot how good the future phone is. Today we see a first performance test for the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip, which will include the Samsung GALAXY S10 processor, and its result is lower than the one that the iPhone XS will offer, being equal to the performance of the iPhone X.
The Samsung GALAXY S10 is not the phone on which this performance test was done, but since the components of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip can do that, the results obtained by the future Samsung phone will be extremely close. Since the iPhone X now has scores of over 10.000 points in Geekbench, it is very clear that the Samsung GALAXY S10 will have inferior performances to those offered by the iPhone XS.

The Samsung GALAXY S10 will also have a new Exynos 9820 chip implemented by Samsung, but its performance will be extremely close to those offered by the Snapdragon 855 chip. For the iPhone XS, scores of 12.000 points are rumored, so over 10% higher than those of the Samsung GALAXY S10, but the difference could be even bigger than that, depending on what Apple can offer for the iPhone XS series, the increase could be 20% over the iPhone X.
The Samsung GALAXY S10 will still be much more powerful than the Samsung GALAXY S9, if there were people who thought that this would not happen, but theoretically it should be below the iPhone XS series, or even the iPhone 8S, from Apple. Although the Samsung GALAXY S10 will be launched in March 2019, the Snapdragon 855 chip will enter production towards the end of the year, and the performance will not increase by more than 5% compared to what we see at the moment.
