YesThe phones have the same size screens. Yet, on the S8, the uncropped video goes all the way from the left of the screen to the right. It uses the full width of the display, leaving very small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen (of the landscape image) in a typical 21:9 movie. If you choose to use fit-to-screen, you will get a full uninterrupted image with light cropping.
On iPhone X, if you choose to go uncropped, you will need to at least black out the part of the display with the notch, which, as a side effect to making essentially a less wise display through this, will make bigger black bars on the top and bottom (of the landscape image). You are getting an all-around smaller image, and from a design perspective it's going to look worse, because you are getting an image that is shifted to the right rather than symmetrical. If you choose to use fit-to-screen, you will get an image with light cropping as well as a notch on the left.
Thats a cheap plastic back cover?
Anodized aluminum.
Damn.
This thread is an embarrassment, I use iOS and Android and I couldn't care less what the back of a phone looks like.
that notch looks horrible, Jobs would never have approved it
People focus on the minors when the majors are all the same. Shit that doesn't matter and never mattered suddenly becomes mission-critical, deal-breakers.
Alternately, people are very insecure about their purchase decisions and need regular validation to feel good.

Enjoy your off center squared off whatever that is. Meanwhile the iPhone looks like it's from the future.
iPhone 4 was the pinnacle of iPhone design
Eh I was a android fanboy for the longest. And Apple has made some shitty anti consumer decisions in the past(16gb iPhones being one of them) but their OS is on point. Everything just works, it's almost enough to look past all the obvious ripoffs Apple has done over the years. Also they usually end up executing whatever they take better then the competition.
I vowed to avoid Samsung after I used the S4. S8+ looks so good, reviews so good that I bought it 2 weeks back.
And It is awesome. The screen, speed, size is great. All the bloat is greatly reduced.
iPhone 4 was the pinnacle of iPhone design
I had an Edge S6 for a year and I have no idea what that edge on it was about? Why did I even buy it when there was a flat edge version available? I was stupid.
It has two design/usability mistakes:
1) the edge phone is unusable when your skin (fat below your thumb) will touch the edge if the phone has no cover. This will result in accidental presses.
2) the uses for the edge are limited and required multiple swipes to work (e.g. Getting the clock/weather to pop up
Samsung also is slower in use and more bloated compared to an iPhone because it is not optimised correctly. In essence it has way more freedom which I really liked but is not as smooth experience as an iPhone.
And yes, the Samsung logo sucks. They should redesign something simple.
On the Day where I can Update my four year old Samsung Phone with the newest Android OS, Samsung is able to out-apple Apple.
They can't even figure out how to center their backs on the samsungs.While I can say that many iPhones have been great looking or at least had certain great design features, I feel that you are far too biased to have an opinion on Android phones. The mere fact that you say they can't figure out minimalism when pretty much every high-end phone has a very minimal design says it all.
Not even a 4 year old Google device can update to the latest version of Android.
Infact, can a 4 year old iPhone legit update to the latest version of iOS?

The decision to put a rotisserie spit rod in his casket looks smarter by the day.
Though I'm not sure the benefit of it having glass on both sides. Oh well.
But how well will it run the 5s?
allllll depends on how much improvement they made from the beta to the GM version. Only time will tell.Thanks.
Does it run well on the older devices?
Thanks.

The Galaxy S8 is a beautiful phone as well but in the end it's a Samsung phone. The only Samsung phone I wasn't disappointed to own was probably the Note 4. Note 7 was great but yeah. The X is my next for sure but I wouldn't complain if I got a free Note 8.
the screen to body ratio is all close between iphone and samsung

You've experienced two good Samsung phones, so what is the problem?

Those bezels are why I'm going from Xperia to iPhone X. You could land an aircraft on Xperia's bezels.
As far as aesthetics, I loved the Sharp Aquos Crystal from a few years back (I think it was a Sprint exclusive). They managed to go almost completely bezel-less before it was cool. Shame it never took off, apparently it was a pretty decent budget Android phone.

It would make more sense then to go for LG V30, Mi Mix 2, Note 8, etc? Unless your criteria is "phone must have 'x' in its name..."

Why exactly are Apple processors so disproportionately more powerful than even the very fastest chips used in other smartphones?
That inch of border at the bottom kind of torpedoes any claims of being "bezel-less." That's like the omega bezel. The evolved form of bezel, bezellum. Super bezel blue.As far as aesthetics, I loved the Sharp Aquos Crystal from a few years back (I think it was a Sprint exclusive). They managed to go almost completely bezel-less before it was cool.

I recently bought a Macbook Pro so I want to take advantage of whatever synergy it offers with the phone and I want a change from Android as well, otherwise I'd go with the Samsung S8, yeah.

Byproduct of chip manufacturer and software design working in tandem. Androids are a bunch of off the shelf parts thrown together, generally.

Goes to show you how little android people know about the products they're trashing.Didn't Apple just remove this "synergy" as every device now should be "its own"?
