iPhone X vs Samsung S20

There is no gainsaying that the mobile phone has been of an immense advantage since its invention and manufacture on a commercial scale, about thirty (30) years ago. It was helped particularly to connect our world. You can do virtually anything from the comfort of your bedroom. Things ranging from delivering a message, making sales, making purchases, paying bills, and to mention but a few. The degree of ‘luxury’ or use that a mobile phone can be put is determined directly by its inbuilt capacity and this, in turn, is a function of the model and make of the phone. In spite of these ‘easiness’ that the mobile phone has provided us, there are still people who cannot afford even the simplest models of mobile phones. However, for some people, their dilemma is not the cost of the phones but making a decision on which model and make to purchase. This is especially true as these buyers are scared of other upgraded models filling the market just as soon as they have bought theirs, thus making their own old fashioned. Not to worry, whatever mobile phone you buy will have its advantages as well as its shortcomings over the new ones that will come. Even if the only difference is in their prices, that should be enough to console you.

With what looks like a competition between Samsung and Apple, people are always in the dilemma of deciding whether to buy an iPhone X  or a Samsung S20. Whichever you decide to buy should be a function of what you actually want in a phone as one may have capabilities that may be absent in the other and vice versa. Nobody is in the position to say that one make and model of phone is better than the other; that judgment is relative and must be left as such. People who want to sell iPhone X may want to make you believe that it is better. People who want to sell Samsung mobile phone may say the same of their products.  This is because each seller wants to make the most cash for the phones they are selling. But like I said, the choice is largely yours.
