- [Saf] What's up guys, Saf here, on SuperSaf TV.
And, in this video, we're going to be doing
a detailed speed test between the iPhone XS Max,
and the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 variant.
So, a couple of days ago, I did a speed test
between the XS Max
and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos version.
And that video was a little bit controversial,
because the XS Max, overall, did perform quite a bit better.
Especially when it came to games, compared to the Note 9.
Now I did want to redo the test,
with the Snapdragon 845 version of the Note 9,
which is supposed to be faster.
But, unfortunately, I do not have it.
However, I do have the S9 Plus,
with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
And that has very similar specs
to what we've got on the Note 9.
And we're going to redo this test,
and see how much of a difference this has.
So, in the usual format, we'll start off
by looking at Geekbench 4 scores
then we'll move on to the regular social apps
then some games, the exact same games
that we covered in the previous test.
And finally, we'll be finishing up with RAM management.
So kicking off with Geekbench 4 Scores
The XS Max once again does score quite a bit higher
for both single core and multi core scores.
Now let's move on to the app test
you can see that we've got nothing else opened
up in the background.
We're going to start off with Twitter
That was quicker on the S9 Plus
notifications pretty much neck and neck
let's move onto Instagram
Now the full content was pretty much neck and neck
We're going to my profile which was slightly
quicker on the XS Max I would say
We'll leave this open, let's go up to Pages Manager.
Quicker on the S9 Plus
let's scroll down and we're going to move on to YouTube.
Slightly different content on the home page
so let's play a trending video
Got the new Bumblebee trailer let's play that.
Slightly quicker on the XS Max
We'll leave this open and we'll move onto games.
Notice this timer here at the bottom
and that's because were doing things
SuperSaf style and that will tell us how long
exactly each of these take
and Angry Birds Two was quicker on the S9 Plus.
That's definitely quite interesting
because on the Note 9 Exynos version it was slower
Jet pack Joyride, once again quicker on the S9 Plus
Very, very interesting
Moving on to Sonic Boom, pretty much neck and neck
maybe a split second between these two
but I'm going to call that a draw
loading the game up, once again a draw
Temple Run Two, that was definitely quicker on the XS Max
S9 Plus coming in a couple of seconds later.
We'll play the game, we're going to leave this open.
We're going to move on to Subway Surfers.
We do have slightly different maps on each of these
so we can't fully take this test into consideration
but it was quicker on the XS Max for what it's worth.
Dead Trigger Two, load screen quicker on the XS Max
by just about a second, not much between them.
Playing the game, quicker once again on the XS Max
comes in slightly after on the S9 Plus
Moving onto Asphalt Nine
Slightly quicker on the S9 Plus but very close.
We'll have to call that one a bit of a draw.
And our final fame here is WWE Mayhem,
definitely quicker on the XS Max
Coming in a few seconds later on the S9 Plus
but if you remember on the previous test
the Note 9 did come in twice the amount of time
after the XS Max so that's interesting.
We're just testing out multitasking here.
All the games seem to be in the same place so far
Temple Run Two, same place
we can resume the game if we'd like
Sonic Boom, in place once again we can resume
Jet pack Joyride, same place again
Angry Birds Two, same place.
Now if you remember once again from the previous test
This is where things started to get a little tricky
for the Note 9 in terms of RAM management
but the S9 Plus seems to be doing absolutely fine
Instagram, in the exact same place
and so is Twitter in the exact same place
So there we have it guys, that is the detailed speed test
between the iPhone XS Max and the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
as you guys saw, things were much,
much closer compared to what we had in the previous test
which had the Exynos version of the Note 9.
So clearly the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 variant
of the Note 9 as well as the S9 Plus
is faster compared to the Exynos version
and I have actually done a comparison
between Snapdragon 845 and the Exynos 9810
I'll link that video in the cards if you want to check it out
but in terms of this speed test here
both devices are very, very fast
Some instances the S9 Plus was faster
and some instances the XS Max was faster
I'd say overall in terms of games
the XS Max was faster with the larger gap in
terms of load times but generally speaking
these are some of the fastest devices out there
and in day to day usage you're not really going to notice
those small differences.
What did you guys think of the test results
