I have note 8, pixel 2 xl, razer phone and onePlus 5t to partner with iPhone X. I can say note 8 is the best because it is the only phone that can do something iPhone X cant do.
Galaxy note 8 (despite not so good battery life), allows u to have extra functionality like s-pen whenever u need it. It is also a perfect all rounder phone with ip rating (vs Oneplus 5t and razer), dual sim (vs pixel 2 xl), microSD slot (vs oneplus 5t and pixel 2 xl).

Plus both iPhone X and Note 8 support the same wireless charger.

agree on the S-Pen. The one thing i use alot especially when taking down screen off notes. very useful.

however it solely depends on the user... if the pen is a requirement or not. if it is not, then note 8 should not be the only choice out there. though i agree it is one hell of a good looking phone. except the battery part. sad.gif

Update for those following my battery usage:

Note 8 vs IPX
Bluetooth off on both devices as its unfair since my Note is connected to my GearS3.
IPX using WIFI at office but note 8 on Data

So far, after full charge it has been about 3 hours.

IPX: 45minutes screen time, 94% battery left. (Facebook + CoC + BoomBeach)
Note8: 15 Minutes screen time, 87% battery left. (Whatsapp + short facebook load and nothing else)

So far, IPX is surely winning....

What you can do is call Apple Care. Talk to them about your issue. if they also say that you need to pay and fix, then ask them to escalate your case to higher level which means they will escalate to australia. Then when that happens, talk to them nicely and talk to them to give you a replacement for free... be nice and talk nicely... it can be done. ive done it before for cracked screen. so good luck.

How'd you even get them to give you a free replacement for a phone with a cracked screen? That's impressive.

yes... negotiation and drama... dont use anger or negative remarks... be nice... but only will work if your call gets escalated. dont demand for escalation, try and see what can be done first before requesting that your case be escalated for further review.

apple support is really great. ive seen them doing wonders.. compared to samsung and other brands who wash their hands off...

Update for those following my battery usage:

24 hours later...

IPX: 65% Battery left. (SOT=3hours+)
Note8: Battery died at about 22 hours mark. (SOR=2hours 30 minutes)

IPX surely wins.

Note8 has no games played. Only mainly standby and facebook at night before bed. No Always on Display. Bluetooth off.

IPX games, facebook, emails.



From the above, i'd give the thumbup.gif to IPX. Well done there. However the only difference is the screen resolution. Note 8 was running at WQHD+. Maybe FHD would help increase battery life though.

Welcome. And Agreed. I can be comfortable knowing i only have about 20% battery to even last me the day. Wouldn't need to rush to charge.

Not supposed at all.

Android is well known to leak data here, leak battery there. Will be even worse with all the battery pro doctor apps installed

true.. i dont have any of those types of apps installed... cause samsung already has built in device maintenance.

Finally had the time to fit my Whitestone Dome Glass.

REF: http://www.lazada.com.my/iphone-x-screen-p...3.881076dL58i9h

Fitting seems really excellent. It is easy to fix as long as you watch the video carefully and don't make mistakes. No doubt it is expensive. But the feel is really solid and very clear and gives me confidence in protection. Just in case you all are interested.

Below are some pictures after fitting it.
