The S8 Plus has the better battery life than 8 and 8 Pluis according to Ars Technica.
What was the score on the note 8?
Edit: never mind
Seems they left out the Samsung s8 for the web gl score.
Why do you think that is?

You disagreed with me in your first sentence then continued to go on and literally reiterate what I had originally said. Anything CPU/GPU intensive will burn more battery on the 8+ because the A11 and GPU are much more powerful than the 835 and adreno chips (or Exynos) in the N8.
My apologies, I read your post wrong.
Overall the A11 with iOS should have better battery life, but the biggest battery drain comes from the display. Which I why I'm very interested to see the real user results of the iPhone X in comparison, being that it uses OLED.
BTW ... A more powerful CPU/GPU doesn't automatically equate to more battery drain. Especially if the OS and apps are optimized to use multi cores, and throttling/overclock comes into play.

It’s all good, I wasn’t sure if maybe I was reading your post out of context or something myself. Agreed, for general use that’s why we have dedicated low power cores and good GPU throttling. I’m saying in benchmarks or intensive games where the high performance cores are being utilized and the GPU is being pushed then they definitely will use more power like my analogy with a more powerful Intel processor and Nvidia GPU in a desktop or laptop compared to one that has components that aren’t as powerful when being pushed.
My battery sees me through a day, so who gives a **** what another phones battery can do when you have no intention of buying it anyway.
I had the Note 8, and got rid of it today for a iPhone 8 plus. Glad to be back in iOS. Had the Note 8 for a month and it's weight, and size was just getting to me. It was snappy, and fun to use, but I like the phone to be easy to do on everything like iOS makes it. Both are great phones. I hope to have good battery life on the 8 plus, unlike my 7 plus.
I'm curious why the size and weight bothered you? As the size and weight is almost the same. Surely the Note 8 being 7g lighter can't have been a factor?
It felt unbalanced. Top heavy. Also it's skinnier (and the screen) and with the curved edges, it was just bothering me.
Not necessarily. Nvidia’s GTX 1080ti is the fastest gaming GPU on the planet and uses half the power of the AMD RX Vega 64 Liquid whose performance is nowhere close.
That’s a cherry-picked huge power consumption card that is literally built to be clocked higher in a vain attempt to keep pace with Nvidia’s offerings via liquid cooling. The air cooled one is about 15-20% more power hungry. AMD and Nvidia differ on a fundamental approach to their GPUs and AMD have always been more power hungry and also less performance. To compare the SD835 GPU to AMD and the A11 GPU to Nvidia would be a huge insult to snapdragon and the Note 8 in this situation.
However, we know the snapdragon and A11 chipsets are using a much more similar architecture, design, and approach than Nvidia and AMD are in their desktop GPUs. So in this case it would be more accurate to compare a 1070 to a 1080ti where the more powerful one will definitely consume a bit more power than the former.
Sounds like confirmation bias. Size and weight bothers him. Trades it in for a heavier and wider phone. Just get the iPhone from jump and stop wasting your time and whoever has to process your return.
The iPhone maybe heavier but it doesn't feel like it like the note 8 does. It's well balanced. I didn't return it. I have to sell it as I waited too long trying to get use to it.
But it’s shorter and much slimmer which makes a huge difference in the hand.
5 grams doesn’t really make a difference for weight.
Sounds like you kept it past your return window to really give it a chance.
Hope you don’t lose much in the resale.
To me it's just the opposite. I can more easily use the Note 8 one handed. I much prefer the Note 8 balance, handling, and the iPhone now just looks really dated to me.
There is no doubt the iPhone looks dated, but it's tried and true. It works and works well. I don't have a choice really if I want to use iOS. I don't like the new iPhone without TouchID, so this one will have to work and will have to last till Apple has something I like or I will jump again. I may pick up a V30 however as a second phone to switch between. For the price of it especially second hand off Swappa, I can probably swing that.
I just discovered I can listen to local FM radio on my Note 8! Nice, and should save battery vs streaming I would think.
So you just registered Friday to say you bought a Note 8 and returned it? lol. Surrrrrre.
So now the question is, which existing poster here created this new account to push his/her "I tried the Note 8, it's a great phone, but the iPhone 8 is still better" agenda. I guess I could narrow it down to the posters who back your posts.
These posts are getting so tiring and pathetic.

Wow some people.
Here is a picture for the non believers.

Install NextRadio from the play store. There are other apps too, but Next Radio is the best. You must have headphones plugged in to use FM.
Lol, not available in my country it seems. May just get its APK somewhere when I am not lazy.
Right, which means that you can't do this on an iPhone or Pixel 2... no headphone jack!
