Okay, but the notch on the iPhone X and the top/bottom bezel on the iPhone 7 do not compare. One impedes the screen area where Apple had to re-adjust content, the other does not.
Got a tip for us?

I have a problem putting an iPhone 8 down on a table next to an iPhone 6 and not being able to tell a difference..
Yes, of course I know they are there. As I said, they flow with the phone and don't inturupt the screen. The notch is a design flaw, imo.
They are not massive, imo.

That doesn't bother me. I would not care if the design of the phone ever changed. It's what is on the inside. Apple tried to get fancy and we got the notch.
Not missing the point at all.. One has ginormous bezels and smaller screen and the other does not...
Which was not the point of the original discussion. The original point was the notch impedes the display area and Apple had to re-adjust content, not which phone had smaller bezels. You're making this a debate about something that it's not. Anyone with a working pair of eyeballs can tell which phone has the smaller bezel.
Exactly, that’s what the X defense force don’t get, we have Apple products, we’ve bought into the ecosystem, we’re not ‘haters’ just happy with our own views unlike those who seek constant verification through Internet forums.
So if you want a perfect rectangular display, then you have to take the one with the smaller screen. If the notch doesn't hinder your experience, the X is the one. Personally, I'll take all of that screen real estate, even with the notch, over the smaller, perfect rectangle display. Too much screen to be bothered by the notch.
Or constantly complain about something they don't own...... LOLOL
Exactly.. They'd rather have a smaller screen with ginormous bezels than a 1.2mm notch.. Mind baffling really..
You're making an assumption about what I want, when I never said what I want. I'd much rather have the X even with its notch, but I'm also entitled to agree that it's a (necessary given current tech abilities) design flaw.
I don't see it as a design flaw. All the apps I use have been updated for the notch and Apple has said all new apps coming into the store have to conform to the X design,... As more and more apps meet the standard the notch will become less and less an issue for some.. Some will never be happy no matter what.
I know I’m not included in this assumption but the notch does look bigger than 1.2mm. Did you mean to type 12mm? Even then I’d say its probably 6 or 7mm at a guess. If it was 1.2mm it would barely be noticeable.
I would say you narrowed it down fairly succinct. The notch and developers are improving all the time with applications that are conforming to the design of the iPhone X and no matter what, you still have those who will never be happy with the notch in its existence. I have said it before, the Internet is nothing more than a small minority with a strong vocal opinion, especially for those who frequent tech sites. Outside a tech forum, I have not heard one complaint about anyone with the notch anecdotally.
Could not agree more. My iPhone 7 Plus hardly ever recognized my fingerprint due to my hands coming to contact with things and burning my fingers sometimes so my fingerprint is not that accurate and I had enough of Touch ID recognizing my fingerprint 30% of the time. Face ID ... just works ... literally the phone gives just enough light to perfectly unlock my phone and banking apps, etc. Every. Single. Time. Without fail.
Samsung Note 8 (N) vs iPhone X (X)
Screen and display: N
Software: Draw (D)
Battery: N
Speed and performance: D
Filing system: N
Customisation: N
Camera: D but nod to X due to 60FPS
Multitasking: N
Headphone jack: N
Speakers: X
Biometrics security: X
Features: N by a country mile
Apps: X
Final score:
N: 7
X: 4
D: 2
The X is not the best phone ever made. The N trumps it. All you need to do is youtube a 100 videos about the N v X and see for yourself. I doubt the X is even the best iPhone ever made. Is a science grad in 2018 a better scientist that Einstein just because the grad has access to current information and methods?
The X is garbage.
From an unbiased iphone user.
That is all.

From „not the best phone ever made“ to „garbage“ is a pretty huge leap lol. Especially when you have listed only a single phone that you think is better than the X. So every phone that offers objectively less than the X is garbage too? Good to know that I‘ve been using „garbage phones“ (iPhones) the last couple years.
I mean many points on your list are highly subjective and would need at least some details on how you quantify them to call one of these devices better than the other. For example, you claim the Note wins in the multitasking category yet many people would claim that the gesture control on the X is superior and significantly more intuitive than the software home and back buttons on the Note which are essentially the classical hardware buttons but slapped into the software.
The software is also a deciding factor for many people and whether you prefer Android or iOS. And if you‘re already in Apple‘s ecosystem or not. Someone who wants his device to work well with his other 5 Apple products and likes iOS more will judge the Android experience on the Note inferior, and vice versa.
The best $1000 "garbage" I've ever owned.
Unbiased?
There is no such thing
We ALL have our preferences, opinions, history, background and more
Proclaiming yourself to be unbiased doesn't make it true, in fact it emphasizes you aren't

I have sat on getting a new phone for a while now because everything for me is off the mark, the X moreso.

If you had any change from buying that piece of crap, I'd tell you to go buy yourself a medal. But oh well, sucks to be X.
I’m coming from iPhone 5 and SE. jumping to iPhone X was a major upgrade. I love it. Battery could be better though. But overall I’m satisfied.
If you have the Note 8/S8, check out iYTBP. It's an alternative YouTube app with 4K viewing option. Great phones, truly glad I switched.
