Samsung Galaxy Note 8 wins over Apple iPhone 8 Plus in speed test

Looks like Samsung has hit the right chord with Galaxy Note 8 after the Note 7 debacle. In a real-world speed test done by a Youtuber, the iPhone 8 Plus lost out to Note 8 in terms of performance. Apparently, the Note 8 is faster than the iPhone 8 Plus.
While speed test aren’t really the most scientific way to assess the performance of a device, it does provide an insight on how fast the devices would work in real-life situations.
YouTuber David Rahimi, who has been making speed test videos for years now, shot a speed test between the Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8 Plus for his PhoneBuff channel. He uses a consistent and straightforward process to compare and rank smartphone speeds.
A fixed set of 16 apps in two laps are opened on a device for the speed tests. The apps include light programmes like Settings and Calendar, as well as apps that require more intensive loads such as games and a Photoshop image export.
In the previous speed tests filmed for Phonebuff channel, iPhone maintained good record of winning over high-end Android smartphones, except for the OnePlus 5. However, the results were a little shocking when the iPhone 8 Plus was put up against Samsung Note 8.
In the first lap that had “launching apps” as part of the speed test, the iPhone 8 Plus opened tiny apps slower than the Galaxy Note 8, but was much faster while loading graphics-intensive apps that needed more processing power. However, the second lap that focused on RAM management, saw the 6GB of RAM packed in the Galaxy Note 8 take the lead and beat the iPhone 8 Plus that comes with 3GB of RAM.
Although the Galaxy Note 8 lost its way in the first lap by a few seconds, it picked up in the second round and won over iPhone 8 Plus by a full six seconds earlier.
What is surprising that iPhone 8 (and iPhone 8 Plus) which is powered by monstrous A11 Bionic system-on-a-chip (SoC), lost out to Galaxy Note 8 that was powered by the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, which is almost a year old, rather than Samsung’s own Exynos SoC.

Dumb things in Captain America: The Winter Soldier everyone just ignored

The second Captain America sequel was a game-changer for the franchise and for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large. It saw the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., which at that point had been the linchpin connecting all these disparate films, and put Nick Fury on the run. The film premiered to pretty much universal critical acclaim, and for good reason—it was pretty great. But that doesn't mean it was perfect. Here are all the dumb things people just ignored about Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Nick Fury's downtown chase while nefarious forces and the Winter Soldier look to take him out is one of the most thrilling scenes not just in the movie, but the MCU at large. It's tense, claustrophobic, and well-paced—but it ends with one heck of a head-scratcher. Fury's car gets flipped by the Winter Soldier's (umm) magic, car-flipping gun. But as he walks up to finish him off, Fury pulls out a tiny lightsaber device that somehow cuts through the car's roof and aspha...
