It did not take long before the new Note 9 ended up under the magnifying glass of the various benchmark programs . In fact, Tom's guide tested the Snapdragon 845 version of the 6 GB Galaxy Note 9, using Geekbench 4 and 3DMark Slingshot Extreme 3.1.

Without further ado, here are the results of the various smartphones being compared, including the iPhone X :

Geekbench 4 multicore score:
-  iPhone X 10.357
- OnePlus 6 9.088
- Galaxy Note 9 8.876
- LG G7 ThinQ 8.566
- Galaxy S9 + 8.295
- Galaxy Note 8 6.564
- Pixel 2 XL 6.282

Arriving third, behind OnePlus 6, a device with a decidedly lower cost, however, confirms an improvement over its predecessor. Reports show that we are talking about a rather significant performance ratio: over 35%. Instead, Google's flagship phone totaled only 6,282 points.

3D Mark Slingshot Extreme 3.1 :
- OnePlus 6 5.124
- iPhone 4,994
- Galaxy Note 9 4.639
- Galaxy S9 + 4,634
- LG G7 ThinQ 4,201
- Galaxy Note 8 3,710
- Pixel 2 XL 3,679

The test results are however positive
This test tries to squeeze most of the graphics chips of the devices. But even if the path of Note 9 continues to reach high summits, it is still evident a performance gap against rival iPhone X. It should be noted that the OnePlus 6 used was the 8 GB RAM version , giving it an advantage in that test . It seems above all that the Note 9 shares more than a simple visual similarity with the Galaxy S9 +, which has an almost identical result in the scores.

Let's not forget that while OnePlus 6, Note 9 and Galaxy S9 + were released this year, the iPhone X is a 2017 model , with a new one coming in just a couple of months.

Obviously, stress tests do not translate perfectly into everyday use, but still give a good idea of ​​the capabilities of different devices under similar conditions.

Good news for the owners of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus Exynos version , ie the models marketed in Italy.

It seems, in fact, that the battery life of the international variants of the device has greatly improved with the Android security update of the month of August .

Immediately after the release of the update, the network has multiplied the reports of users that the duration of the battery has lengthened, which is a sort of "reward" for those who bought these devices, accused of having a lower autonomy compared to the variants that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor.

Not all Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus owners have noticed battery life changes since the August patch, although some argue that the overall performance of devices is now more uniform.

Recall that the Korean manufacturer kicked off the release of this update last week but still may not be available for all models marketed. Still a little patience.
