iPhone XR Seen to Tie With Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 in New Speed ​​Test Video

Whenever Apple launches its annual iPhone upgrades, they are bound to be pitted against its rival company Samsung's flagships. The 2018 iPhone models include the XS iPhone and XS Max and they feature absolute top-of-the-line specifications. However, the company's most affordable handset iPhone XR comes with a few compromises to lower the cost. Yet, you've come to a new look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in a speed test. Surprisingly, both the smartphones were able to squeak out a good fight.

Apple did not reveal memory details on the iPhone XR, but according to a recent iFixit teardown, the smartphone comes with 3GB of RAM. In comparison, the Galaxy Note 9 packs 8GB of RAM. Despite the difference in RAM, YouTuber Phonebuff wanted to test the iPhone XR will perform compared to the Galaxy Note 9, because of Apple's powerful A12 Bionic chip. As seen in the video, the XR iPhone did not hold up against Samsung's flagship.

The video posted by the YouTube channel tests the performance of the iPhone XR and Galaxy Note 9 with two rounds of apps. In the video, the Apple iPhone XR is one of the first tests of the speed test, which plays with six apps and games like Facebook, Starbucks, Microsoft Word, Camera, and Subway Surfers, roughly 15 seconds quicker than the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

However, in the next lap, in which the same series of apps is accessed quickly, the Samsung flagship managed to make up the iPhone XR. In the end, the iPhone Finished with a total time of 2:38:33 and the Galaxy Note 9 finished at 2:38:48.

It is worth noting that the latest speed test is not definite for measuring real-world performance neither of the iPhone nor the Galaxy Note 9. There may be some instances in which you will see the latest iPhone defeating the Galaxy top-end Note 9, or vice versa. Also, network latency plays a vital role especially in loading apps that access Web services.
