LTE speed tests show the iPhone XS dominates the iPhone X

Samsung Electronics Co. plans to start sales of a silver-coloured Galaxy Note 9 as early as this week, industry sources said on Tuesday, apparently to promote the device amid the launch of new iPhones and other rival products. That is set to change very soon, reported The Economic Times.

The iPhone XS is a huge step up from the iPhone X when it comes to LTE download speeds, according to exclusive new data from Cellular Insights and Ookla Speedtest. In a different test before that, Tom's Guide's tests showed that neither the iPhone XS nor the XS Max was able to outlast the iPhone X. In Tom's Guide video drop test of iPhone XS, XS Max included a three way drop test for three-foot, four-foot, and five-foot drops.

Last year, Cellular Insights compared the Intel-powered and Qualcomm-powered models of the iPhone X and found that Qualcomm's modems provided faster performance at almost every signal level. It's used by both handset makers and wireless carriers to test and verify their phones. Among the U.S. carriers, users on AT&T saw the biggest improvements, with an 8 Mbps increase, while Sprint users came in last, gaining only 2.3 Mbps over last year's model. It took over 20-foot drop for iPhone XS Max to smash from the front completely, which is about two-story apartment height. In comparison, the Note 9 took just 105 minutes.

As per a WinFuture report, Microsoft will launch the Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop 2 with some specification bumps. It promises to offer all-day battery life, which apparently is 14.5 hours, but your mileage will obviously vary.

This is the USA unlocked Galaxy Note 9 with 128GB of storage and 6GB RAM. Although the camera improvements are hard to notice, Consumer Reports stated that the upgrade to the Portrait mode was "more evident" compared to the iPhone X.

The said tests were performed in a lab and the real world tests vary. Samsung made a decision to reward the top Fortnite players by sending them a Supply Drop.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 have been out for more than a year now.
