Equally many had expected, both Samsung and Apple jumped on the all-screen design bandwagon in the same twelvemonth. Samsung did it outset as it launches its flagship at the beginning of the year, and Apple followed a few months later on with the iPhone X. Only the iPhone 10 wasn't like other smartphones with bezel-less displays. Information technology had a notch at the peak (like the Essential Phone) that cuts into the display, adding an element of distraction in what is otherwise a display with minimal bezels around it.

That notch does include Face up ID, the well-nigh avant-garde confront recognition technology available on a smartphone today, but the 'Infinity brandish' on Samsung'southward flagships feels like a improve implementation of a bezel-less display. And while the Milky way S8/S9 and Galaxy Annotation viii have more summit and bottom bezel compared to the iPhone 10, the bezels on the side are much smaller thanks to the curved edges.

Elsewhere, though, Apple'due south tenth iPhone does include a similar design direction to Samsung'due south flagships. After a few years of making iPhones with a metallic dorsum, Apple has switched back to a glass back for the iPhone X. Apple is the manufacturer that made phones with glass backs popular, and Samsung took inspiration when it launched the Galaxy S6 and has stuck to drinking glass-heavy designs ever since, even offering it in the mid-range segment with the A series phones.

As a result, both Samsung'due south and Apple'due south newest flagships feel great to concord, though we'd be lying if nosotros said we aren't inclined towards the more futuristic look of the Galaxy handsets. That's not the say the iPhone X isn't a cute device, and we were recently able to go hold of a unit of measurement thank you to one of our blogging friends, so we decided to put the telephone next to a Galaxy S9+ to give our readers a look at how the two compare continuing next to each other.

Nosotros're not going to say any more here; if you lot're on our website, there's probably zip (other than faster software updates, peradventure?) that would brand you switch to an iPhone, and then become ahead and see how Apple's latest looks similar next to Samsung's Milky way S9+. As always, let united states of america know your thoughts in the comments department.
