You and your friends have probably debated who has the better cell phone operating system. You know that you are correct, but your friends insist that they are. According to Consumer Report's Cell Phones & Services 2018 report, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 ranked first and the Apple iPhone XS Max came in second. The overall scores for the phones were 83 for the Samsung (running Android) and 82 for the iPhone (running iOS). Consumer Reports gave the edge to Samsung for handset capabilities but gave the iPhone the edge for the rear camera and the navigation system.

The report needs to score individual features of the phone in order to determine the better operatingsystem.
