According to Tom’s Guide, “the Samsung Galaxy S9 lasts for an impressive 13 hours and 26 minutes.” With a 3,000mAh battery, this phone is perfect for heavy users.

**Apple iPhone X:**

The iPhone X, on the other hand, has a 2,716mAh battery. According to AnandTech, it lasts for an impressive 13 hours of web browsing and 14 hours of video playback. However, during my personal test, I noticed that the iPhone X only managed to last through 5 hours of web browsing before needing a recharge.
