Mobile Showdown

Samsung's new Galaxy Note8 includes important enhancements to its display, processor and S-Pen – but is it enough to beat Apple? When Apple launched its iPhone 7 Plus in September 2016, the company added new features including a better processor, improved design and a removed headphone jack.

Following is a head-to-head comparison of Samsung's newest enterprise-targeted phone versus Apple's iPhone 7 Plus smartphone.
