The pedestal under the great and incomparable iPhone is reeling more and more, and the world Android attracts more and more defectors from the enemy camp. Surely there are many people who are still ready to argue with this statement. However, one more piece of evidence appeared.
The well-known non-profit American publication Consumer Reports has compared Apple iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8, and for one of the arch-opponents the results look completely disappointing. Consumer Reports has bad news for the company Apple.
The magazine, which is owned by the reputable non-profit organization Consumers Union, considers Samsung flagships to be the best deal for consumers. Even the ones that came out 18 months earlier than iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + scored 81 out of a possible 100, beating iPhone 8, which received 80 points. Also, despite the same result, Consumer Reports actively recommends buyers to purchase Samsung Galaxy S7 instead of the latest devices from Apple. According to the publication, the Galaxy S8 and its predecessor are a better deal than iPhone 8.
In September, Apple announced its iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at a special event. The devices come with improved cameras, a new portrait mode exclusive to the 8 Plus, as well as a True Tone display and a faster A11 Bionic processor.
However, the Cupertino-based company did not release sales figures iPhone 8, as it previously did on the first weekend after the start of pre-orders. And buyers could, in the same week that the devices went on sale, just come and receive their device, and not wait for it. A phenomenon that in previous years was simply unthinkable.
The fact that Consumer Reports preferred iPhone 8 not only to its main rival this year, but also to the smartphone, which was released in March 2016, means that for the company Apple it is not the best simple and pleasant times.
According to an American publication, Samsung devices provide better performance on a single charge and better call quality than the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Consumer Reports also says the S7 has 'superior capabilities'.
The iPhone 8 managed to outperform the Galaxy Note 8, which has the same scores as it, but overall it sits below Samsung's.
In turn, Express.co.uk called the Galaxy S8 not only the 'best smartphone Samsung has ever made', but also the best smartphone you can buy right now. Let's see what will happen next, but so far everything indicates that the time when Apple could rest on its laurels has passed irrevocably.
