Although the new iPhone is superior to the Galaxy S8 in most of its features, there are 10 advantages that the Galaxy S8 outperforms the iPhone.
1. Galaxy S8 unlocks by a cornea scanner, while Phone uses fingerprint sensor. Samsung claims that the cornea scanner is safer than the fingerprint sensor.​
2. Galaxy S8 screen is larger, measuring 5.8 inches, and in Galaxy S8+ it is measuring 6.2 inches, the iPhone 7 screen 4.7 inches and the iPhone 7+ measuring 5.5 inches.
​3. The Galaxy S8 can be shipped with a wireless base, in addition to its faster charging than usual. The iPhone does not have a wireless charging base, and it charges slower.
​4. Apple has completely removed the speakers' input from the iPhone 7. If you want to use a headset, you have to use a computer interface, while the Galaxy S8 has a traditional headphone jack.
​5. You can pay by your S8 phone because it contains a magnetic credit card, while with iPhone you pay through the "NFC" service, which does not exist in all countries.
​6. Galaxy S8 comes with Facebook-supported b virtual reality programming. In iPhone, you can use Google's similar Virtual Reality simulator, but the disadvantage is that the device supports it in a limited way.
​7. You can measure your heartbeat by a sensor on the back of the Galaxy S8, With iPhone you will be forced to buy an iPhone application to do that.
​8. You can connect the Galaxy S8 to the computer screen or keyboard and run the desktop version on a normal computer. Although this feature is not proven, it is better, especially since you can only use the iPhone as a display screen when you connect it to your computer.
​9. Using the Smart Camera on the Galaxy S8, you can take pictures of things around you to be recognized by a smart digital assistant in the device, and then give you information about the item and the places where it is sold, while the iPhone does not contain the smart camera system.
10. As a result of Samsung's use of the OLED display on its Galaxy S8, which has a dual optical display feature, the color display and the efficiency of the device are higher than the LCD screen in iPhone.​
