PhoneBuff’s tests consist of opening apps in order, then re-opening them again. It’s an unscientific test the channel has used to showcase the latest iPhones versus Android devices for a while now, and for the most part, Apple has always held the lead.

But not this time around, as the Galaxy Note 8 beats the iPhone 8 Plus in the series of app opening tests by six seconds, taking the crown.
