Compared: Samsung Galaxy S9 Vs Apple iPhone 8 Vs Google Pixel 2 XL

The design, build, displays, and performance varies between these three handsets.

 Overall, the Galaxy S9 is an all-round performer in a swanky package. The iPhone 8 is good for users who prefer good experience. The Pixel 2 XL is largely overshadowed by the S9, but still makes a strong case for the fans of pure Android.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are finally official. The Plus variant will take on the iPhone X, while the Galaxy S9 will have to compete with the iPhone and Pixel 2 XL. The selection seems random, but these three phones are priced in the range of Rs 65,000 to Rs 70,000.
Another binding node is that they are all one-eyed monsters. In a world where even mid-range phones wear dual lenses, the S9, iPhone 8, and Pixel 2 XL settle for a single lens camera. That however does not mean that these phones can't hold their ground. In fact, the devices in question are the top rankers in tests run by DxOmark.
The design, build, displays, and performance varies between these three handsets. So, to help you choose the one that's best for you, we have put together this comparison.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy S9  is the latest entrant in this category. It is based on the same curved screen design language of the Galaxy S8. It is hands down the best-looking handset among the three with its non-existent side bezels. The top and bottom bezels are also pretty slim too. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front and rear to save it from the scratches. The Galaxy S9 an IP68 certified body for water and dust resistance. The Samsung Galaxy S9 will be available in Midnight Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple colours in India.
With the iPhone 8 (click to read review), Apple has returned to the glass back design introduced with the iPhone 4. This also enabled Apple to add in wireless charging, as the metal back wouldn’t have allowed it. Apple claims the glass used on this handset is the most durable glass ever to be used on a mobile phone.

Dragon Touch Vision 3 4K WiFi Action Camera Review

Image
I ordered this camera for general filming, I wanted a small but capable camera like the GoPro that could be used for lots of purposes - without having to worry about shock or water damage. This camera was a much cheaper alternative to the GoPro. The camera comes with the standard range of mounts and accessories, but some notable ones were that it came with a carrying case (many don't), a spare battery and a remote for photos/videos. I liked that there was a spare battery as when recording at 1080p these Action Cameras only typically last for about 1.5 hours of video, so many cameras don't come with a second battery when I think it's a must-have I was a bit disappointed that at 4K 30fps some frames were dropped, although this may be because I was using an older 4GB card that wasn't fast enough, I'll have to retry 4K video later on with a faster card.  What I found much better was 1080p 60fps recording, this was crystal clear and so smooth! For action shots, you wa...

Samsung Q65Q8FN Review

Image
The QLED series from Samsung builds on the Premium UHD series by adding a wider color gamut via Quantum Dot film and Quantum Dot color. It has excellent black levels and contrast and will capture the intended increased brightness and color of HDR content. This years model focuses more on an anti-reflective screen combined with better contrast through the new Q Contrast Plus technology. Has 240 motion rate. Differences between the Q7 and Q8 QLED TVs One of the key differences between the two series is the inclusion of the high end Ultra Black Panel in the Q8. Ultra Black Elite Panel:  Samsung is marketing this panel feature which is included only in the Q8 and Q9 QLEDs for those of us that do not adjust room light conditions when watching TV. This technology built in the Ultra Black panel increases brightness while decreasing glare by using micro dots on the surface of the panel to help redirect light from surroundings that would otherwise cause glare on the screen. The ot...

Alien Skin Exposure X3 review

Image
This review is based on use of Exposure X3 and a beta version of Exposure X3 Complete Workflow Update for Mac. Introduction We’ve reached the point with image editing software that most basic features are covered. Correcting for exposure, saturation, and other settings are the expected baseline, which means applications need something more to differentiate themselves. Some, like Skylum’s Luminar or Serif’s Affinity Photo (see Review: Affinity Photo 1.5.2 for desktop), are competing on price, along with the fact that they don’t require subscription plans. Add to the mix Alien Skin Software’s Exposure X3. It’s competitive on price—$149 on its own, or $199 for a bundle that includes a couple of the company’s utilities, with no subscription—but it also includes several unique features that demonstrate the company is willing to tailor the software experience to how its customers use the product. Differentiation in organizing Like Adobe’s Lightroom family of products, Expo...
