Being one of the best looking phones on the market, the S9 has one curved screen Super AMOLED yes 5,8 inches. Featuring an extremely sharp 529 pixel display, it has a slim bezel with metal body and gorilla glass.
Apple's flagship device, iPhone X, also has a 5,8 inches, but S9 is a bit longer. Also, the S9 is sharper as the iPhone X features a 458 PPI display. However, the iPhone X has a super retina display with OLED panel and a bezel-less all-screen bezel, which is one of a kind.

Samsung S9 runs on Snapdragon 845 with Adreno 630 while iPhone X has an A11 Bionic processor and an M11 coprocessor. While the iPhone X only has 3GB RAM, the S9 has 4GB RAM.

Double aperture changes between f / 1.5 aperture and f / 2.4 aperture in the S9. On the other hand, iPhone X has a 12MP dual camera with f / 1.7 and f / 2.4 apertures.
