Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs Note 8 vs iPhone X: blind comparison!
Which phone takes the better pictures: the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or the Apple iPhone X?

Sometimes it's hard to judge, especially if you have a preference for one brand over the other: many people are just quietly biased towards their favorite and the only way to go around this is to have a... blind camera comparison!

This is exactly what we are doing here. What you do know is that we have used the Note 9 and iPhone X, but we have stripped away all EXIF information that would reveal which phone took which picture and left just the images to speak for themselves. Go on and take a closer look at the pictures and vote for your favorites, we will reveal the phones behind the pictures on Monday.

With no further ado, here is our blind camera comparison between the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and the iPhone X...
