I think the best way to describe the iPhone X‘s design is that it’s a very “in your face” smartphone. It’s unapologetic about its notch, weighty with the stainless steel band and head-turning with its minimal bezels.

Before the Galaxy Note7 was revealed, there were speculation that the new Note will come with 6GB of RAM. Unlike previous Note models that offered a performance bump, we got a Galaxy Note7 that retains the same processor and RAM as its current Galaxy S7/S7 edge series.
