iPhone X vs iPhone 8 Plus/iPhone 8 interface comparison: Does it really fit more content?

And most games still got black box as well, making the actual usable screen much smaller

You mean most games just show at their normal resolution. That is what you mean...right?

You don;t have to stretch them wider if you don';t want too.

What law says that everything must use 100% of the display area?
For me, on large screens like TV's of PC monitors, looking at for example 1080 content stretched on a 4K display like my laptop or on the Surface Pro 3K display, is an issue for sure.

But for a phone, with the display already being so small, I just don't see the problem.

BTW how could they say ''more content' , when the characters and images are smaller on X?

One more think about the 'content'- many ppl prefer to have battery icon in the 'content'. Right?

P.S.
The real usable size of iPhX is not bigger than iPhone 8 Plus. Period.
All the media spells and black magics will not change it.

But of course you *pay* for that usable-space with a larger iPhone 8 Plus body-size. Hence the trade-off.

"Which is why Samsung gets criticized less, they make less mistakes."

Samsung gets criticized less because ultimately people don't give a damn about what they do regarding software. Hell, people don't care what they do in general if we're being completely honest.

Samsung user interface is best in class. You should really try it the features it provide is just awesome. Multi window , floating window with resizable window. 5 floating windows can be opened at the same time.
Theme engine , knox , advance iterations ,

You're wrong and I could give 2 shakes about your opinion.

If no one cared about Samsung, then why do they sell 300M phones per year?

Yeah I'm gonna sound just like how idiots like you typically do. Lets use sales as a metric.

Anyways. The facts show Samsung has made far less mistakes vs Apple.

S4 had way to many features, that's its hardware could not run them properly. They would simply be too slow or not work when needed because the phone was bogged down

S5 fix this with less of those useless gummicky features and they added waterproofing.

S6, they removed the sdcard slot and waterproofing and they got hammered for it.

S7 the card slot returned and so did waterproofing.

They couldnt implenet the under-the-screen FPS, they still kept the old one.

When Samsung and Moto were in talks with Authentec for the non-swop[e FPS, Apple bought the company nd instead of Samsung quitting, they sourced an option from somewhere else.

They include fast charger in the box. Apple doesn't.

Samsung increases screen size, but did it gradually and each device was actually smaller or only slightly bigger than the other with larger display.

Samsung doesn't shove firmware onto older models that won;t runt he software properly. Apple doesn't care. In fact they are so careless, even iOS 11 slowed down only a 1 year old phone. Doesn't happen on Samsung phones.

Even on the S6, Android 7.1 runs better than the software it came with.

iPhone 7 goes from 9 to 10 and has issues an then 10 to 11 creates more issues.

Apple goes big and the phone is BIGGEr than a phone in the same year with a bigger display inside it.

Apple dropping the larger connector for Lightning, but the port supports less capabilities.

Apple makes home button not move to replace it with some gimmick hepatic feedback garbage, and removes the headphone jack. Now you can';t charge and listen unless you get an iPhone 8,

iPhone X has several UI mistakes and the notch is a compromise that wasn't even needed at all.

apple doesn't care because they have loyal fans who don't even care of their iPhone kills them, they will still buy it.

A quick Google shows Samsung has had far less user complaints with their phones as facts show they have far less issues vs any iPhone period.

You can lie like a dog all you want, it won;t change the facts.

Only trolls you like you who try to highlight ever negative about Samsung as possible, when Apple is equal or worse but never better.

Enjoy your slavery to Apple.

Less mistakes?
How cool to have an exploding Note 7!!!

Sending from my iphone X

13. uncle_gadget (banned) (Posts: 1050; Member since: 20 Sep 2017)

I never had an exploding Note 7. Did some catch on fire sure they did. How many iPhone have caught on fire? LOTS. How many iphones have exploded? Lots. How many iPhone have killed people? LOTS.

How many recorded cases of a Samsung phone killing someone? ZERO!!!!!!

Apple iPhone have nearly 10 known cases of havign cause death, possible cause an airplane to crash, which caused death, and people doing stupid things with their iPhone, like standing on the edge of a bridge have fallen to their deaths.

All cases of iPhone usage or misusage.

Samsung users are smart enough not to attempt stupid stunts, though I am sure there are exception.

Same as bent or split iphone. It's all history, get over it.

How is your experience with notch

9. libra89 (Posts: 1718; Member since: 15 Apr 2016)

To me, it looks better on the X for sure.

12. Subie (Posts: 2000; Member since: 01 Aug 2015)

I think I'd get used to that 18/9 form factor too. In the near future it may be the only choice anyway. If Univisium gets adopted by the film and tv industry, it will seal the deal.

19. uncle_gadget (banned) (Posts: 1050; Member since: 20 Sep 2017)

I think its better on the older models because the UI will have less padding of the elements to deal with the notch which other iPhone don't have.

I think if you compare the UI on the 5.5" Note 4 vs the 5.7" Note 5/7, the differents will also be slight, because the 4 and 7 had the same resoution, but the display was only slightly bigger.

5.5 to 5.8 is not a big gap and the UI won't show much different.

In PA's own screenshots, the content on each screen don't match equally, so thus some items look to have more on the iPhone X. But if you put the missing option in on the X, they will pretty much look the same.

The settings menu list on the X has items missing vs the iPhone 8+.

It would have been better if they simply went 1440 x 2560 at minimum. Then even more would fit , because the resolution being higher would scale things smaller.

14. uncle_gadget (banned) (Posts: 1050; Member since: 20 Sep 2017)

Yes it would be because if the higher resolution. But its not all that high above 1080p. Its basically 1080p+ like the latest Galaxies are 1440p+

Yep. Make font smaller and get more stuff on screen. Amazing Apple!!!!
