Which one is best for you?
Looking for a big screen smartphone? Then you’ll love the Samsung Galaxy Note9 with the 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen and AKG speakers. And its fingerprint scanner is placed below the camera so you won’t smudge your rear-camera lenses.
But if you’d prefer a smaller and lighter phone, Galaxy S8 is a good choice. It has the same USB-C charging port, headphone jack and front-facing camera as the Note9. And it also has Optical Stabilisation. But Note9’s aperture and Super Slow-Mo is more improved – so you’ll get crisper images and video.
Compare the specs to find out which one is the one for you.
