The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device is finally out, and as it is a flagship device, the Galaxy Note 9 will be compared with other flagship devices to see if it out-performs or under-performs.
According to benchmark results from Tom's Guide, the iPhone X outperformed the Galaxy Note 9. However, it is worth you know that the phone used in this test is the Galaxy Note 9 that runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset (trimmed down version) and not the bigger one which is powered by Exynos 9810.
The Galaxy Note 9 benchmark score for Multicore in GeekBench 4 was 8,876, while the iPhone X still stood at an impressive 10,357 points, and the OnePlus 6 (8GB RAM) got a score of 9.088.
