Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 6S: How do they compete & Which Should You Buy ?? HD 2016

Samsung is gunning for Apple. The South Korean company has just unveiled its new Galaxy S7 smartphone while iPhone 7 won't hit the market until September. Added to that, iPhone sales are beginning to stagnate, giving Samsung a great chance to make an advance on the tech giant.

The two handsets will likely prove to be two of the most compelling choices on the market. But what about now? How does Samsung's new flagship device stack up against Apple's 2015 crown jewel, the iPhone 6S?

Design

Both phones represent minimal design changes from their predecessors – not necessarily a bad thing, considering they are two of the best-looking handsets on the market. The iPhone just nudges it in terms of dimensions, though. It's slightly lighter, at five ounces to the Galaxy's 5.4oz, and at 7.1mm thick, it's 0.8mm thinner too.

Apple's 6S design is virtually similar to that of the iPhone 6, albeit a little thicker due to the use of more durable aluminium alloy, but does have the addition of a rose gold colour option. It's an aluminium unibody, with curved edges, exposed antenna bands and a protruding camera module.

As for the Galaxy S7, its case is a metal and glass setup. It's nice, but PC Advisorwarns it marks easily and can become grubby without a case. However, the Galaxy is waterproof – an IP68 rating means it can be submerged in depths of five feet for up to half an hour.

Display

Its size and weight is only a fraction bigger than the iPhone, yet the Galaxy S7's screen is 18 per cent larger - 5.1ins in comparison to the 6S's 4.7ins. And that's just the beginning.

The Galaxy S6 was noted for the high quality of its display and the new S7 continues to be an impressive piece of kit in this area. It's a SuperAMOLED display with Quad HD resolution (1440 x 2560), meaning an impressive pixel density of 577ppi and an incredibly sharp-looking display with deep blacks and rich colours. There's also a new "always on" screen function that displays information such as the time and date even when the phone is switched off.

In contrast, the iPhone 6S uses an LCD setup with a pixel density of 326ppi – the same as Apple smartphones introduced in 2010. It's still "fairly sharp", according to Gizmag, but not on par with the Galaxy.

One party piece the Apple display does have, though, is 3D touch – a pressure-sensing display that offers new ways to navigate the phone based on how hard certain icons are pressed.

Hardware

The Galaxy S7 uses the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, though the UK version should get an Exynos 8890 octa-core processor instead, mated to 4GB of RAM.

It is certainly more powerful on paper than the iPhone 6S, which weighs in with only 2GB RAM and makes use of Apple's A9 chip.

According to The Guardian, benchmarking tests of the UK spec Exynos 8890 against the Apple A9 and the US spec Qualcomm 820 suggest, in terms of raw performance, that it loses out. But while this may look like a raw deal, the paper argues that overall, "the choice of processor doesn't matter" as they will all provide a smooth experience capable of most tasks.

Both phones have dual-band 11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS and NFC, although the iPhone's is only for Apple Pay. Neither has a removable battery, but the Samsung's is much larger – a 3000mAh cell that can be charged wirelessly compared to Apple's 1715mAh battery.

The Galaxy is only available as a 32GB model compared to 16GB, 64GB and 128GB on the iPhone, but the micro SD card slot for expandable storage makes a welcome return after being absent on the S6.

The SD card slot means the Galaxy S7's storage can be boosted by 200GB and given that around 8GB of the phone's memory is already occupied by bloatware straight out of the box, it's a feature that's bound to be popular.

Early fears that the removable memory function wouldn't be compatible with apps have now subsided after Samsung told journalists at the launch that they cold be safely transferred onto an external card.

According to Forbes, the functionality of the SD card is a welcome feature, but it highlights the need for Samsung to put models beyond the 32GB device on sale in Europe.

Camera

Samsung has actually reduced the overall megapixel count of its camera hardware down to 12MP, putting it on par with the iPhone 6S. However, there has been a vast improvement in optimisation and the hardware that works alongside the camera, giving better shots in the dark and overall improved image quality.

Both phones can record 4K video and have 240 frames per second slow-motion functions, although the Galaxy S7 sports optical image stabilisation and has a better front-facing camera, too.

Software

The Galaxy S7 ships with Android Marshmallow 6.0 and Samsung's TouchWiz skin, which could cause problems as the nature of the TouchWiz means Samsung has to tweak it after every Android update. Much has been said of ridding the S7 of bloatware, though, and it could remain a thorn in the Galaxy's side.

As for the iPhone, iOS remains the same well-known, simplistic, easy-to-update and smooth experience with plenty of app support.

A lot of this comes down to personal preference, says PC Advisor. Operating systems can often sway decision for many people, especially those loyal to one particular version.

6S Plus vs Galaxy S7 Edge

Of course, the two phones also have Phablet siblings in the form of the Galaxy S7 Edge and iPhone 6S Plus. Both are 5.5ins handsets but while the iPhone 6S plus gets a higher pixel density over the smaller phone at 401ppi, the S7 Edge, with a ppi of 534, loses focus a little compared to its smaller sibling. Both command a premium over the standard devices and feature more or less the same specs, although slightly larger batteries are a given, considering their sizes.

Price

The Galaxy comes in slightly above the iPhone, with prices starting from £569 for the standard S7 and £639 for the 5.5ins S7 edge phablet.

As for the iPhone 6S, the 4.7ins model starts from £539 – some £30 less. It's a similar saving with the Plus, which comes in at £619.

However, there are bonuses for the Samsung phone. Customers who order now for an 11 March shipping get a free Gear virtual reality headset worth £99 that will let them take full advantage of the S7's impressive display.

A price drop could be on the cards, too, if you're willing to wait a few months.Idealo has compiled data from previous Galaxy phone launches and says that based on historic trends, the S7 could be 21 per cent cheaper three months after going on sale and almost 30 per cent cheaper in six months. By then, the iPhone 7 will be just around the corner so if predictions are true, the S7 should hold a distinct price advantage over its main Apple competitor.

Verdict

TrustedReviews feels the Samsung Galaxy S7 is an "absolute beast of a smartphone", with more than enough to beat the iPhone 6S.

It adds: "It features a more robust processor, twice the memory, a higher aperture camera and comes loaded with Google’s oh so sweet Android Marshmallow operating system."

However, this "really isn't a surprise", it says, considering the Galaxy S7 is still box fresh and the iPhone 6S is now halfway through its lifecycle. The big battle comes later this year, when Apple reveals the iPhone 7.

According to TechRadar, it would appear the usual battle lines have been drawn between Samsung and Apple. They conclude the Galaxy is the more functional option and the iPhone the simpler one.  The S7 is a "strong showing" from Samsung and "all the right elements are there", they add.

It would appear Galaxy S7's strong functions and features definitely triumph. Alphr says it has the iPhone 6S beaten in most key areas, including display, features and battery life. BGR also thinks the Samsung phone wins in several key areas, such as the camera and display, plus there is the welcome addition of water and dust-proofing with which the iPhone 6S cannot compete. In terms of design, the S7 is reckoned to be a better device, too, and the Edge handset is considerably more comfortable than the iPhone 6S Plus.

As it stands now – before we know exactly what the iPhone 7 will bring – Refinery 29 says the Samsung Galaxy S7 is an "incredibly fast, beautiful piece of hardware" that could be the Android phone to tempt iOS users out of Apple's ecosystem.

In particular, it says, the S7's display and camera outperform the iPhone 6S, the build quality is "great" and overall, it's an "excellent smartphone".

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs Nexus 6P Comparison On Hands Software Camera Speed Test Demo!! HD 2016

With the Nexus 6P, Google offers the purest Android experience possible with a flagship device. In the other camp, is the latest and greatest from Samsung. Unveiled only a few days ago at MWC 2016, the Galaxy S7  and S7 Edge certainly pack in all the bells and whistles when it comes to hardware, though Samsung further toned it down on the software side. How do these phones compare? We find out in this quick look at the Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge vs Nexus 6P!



The Galaxy S7 doesn’t feature a major overhaul in design, but that’s not a bad thing, considering that Samsung did get a lot right with its predecessor. As expected, the Galaxy S7 comes with a premium metal and glass unibody construction, but there are some key refinements made that help with the handling experience. The corners and sides are more rounded off, and the backing now has curves along the sides, similar to what was seen with the Galaxy Note 5, which helps the device nestle nicely in the palm. The camera protrusion has also been significantly reduced, making it more aesthetically pleasing, and also less worrisome when handling the phone.

On the other hand is the Nexus 6P, and with different OEMs given the opportunity to make the Nexus smartphone year from year, the Huawei-made device obviously comes with a fresh design compared to predecessors. The Nexus 6P is the most premium Google smartphone yet, featuring a full metal unibody design, with a black bar on the back housing the camera setup, that actually looks really good when you see the phone in person. Featuring a large 5.7-inch display, the Nexus 6P is a touch unwieldy, and outside the realm of comfortable one-handed use for most people.

Choosing between two smartphones based on design always boils down to personal preference, but what you get here are two very premium smartphones that certainly don’t disappoint. If the handling experience and one-handed use are important aspects however, the Galaxy S7 holds an edge in this regard.

The Nexus 6P comes with a 5.7-inch AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 518 ppi, while the Galaxy S7 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED screen, also with a Quad HD resolution and a pixel density of 577 ppi. Meanwhile, the S7 Edge goes up to 5.5-inch, keeping the same resolution. Quad HD is the order of day when it comes to current generation flagships, and with AMOLED tech at the base, both displays are impressive. You get vibrant, saturated colors, deep blacks, and good viewing angles and brightness with both, but Samsung does manage to make things pop just a little more. However, gaming and media-centric users will definitely appreciate the additional screen real estate available with the Nexus 6P.

The Nexus 6P comes with an Ambient Display feature, which gives a quick look at the time and your notifications without unlocking the phone. That said, it is quite difficult to trigger, and only picking up the phone is when it actually seems to work all the time. Samsung took things one step further by offering an Always On display, letting you see the time, your notifications, the calendar, the weather information, and more, with a glance, and without needing to wake the device.

Performance and hardware

The Nexus 6P comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, and is backed by the Adreno 430 GPU and 3 GB of RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge features the latest and greatest from Qualcomm, and is powered by the Snapdragon 820, backed by the Adreno 530 GPU and 4 GB of RAM. Things remain smooth and snappy while doing anything on these smartphones, but we’ll have to spend more time with the Galaxy S7 to see whether the Snapdragon 820 betters the performance of the Snapdragon 810 significantly in real world tests.

In hardware, the big story is the return of expandable storage and dust and water resistance with the Galaxy S7, and Samsung fans will certainly appreciate them coming back. Expandable storage was never a part of the modern Nexus line, and its continued unavailability isn’t particularly surprising.

Both smartphones come with fingerprint scanners, but their different placements make for differing experiences, and it’s up to you as to which you prefer. The scanner of the Nexus 6P is on the back, and is placed perfectly around the area where your index finger rests. It’s very easy and quick to unlock the device when holding the phone, but obviously, you won’t be able to use the scanner when the phone is resting on a table. That isn’t an issue with the Galaxy S7/Edge, with the fingerprint scanner once again embedded into the physical home button up front. This placement might make it a little awkward to reach though, but shouldn’t be as much a problem with the relatively compact Samsung flagship. Both fingerprint readers are definitely fast and accurate, but we’ll have to test the Galaxy S7 more to check for reliability.

The Nexus 6P comes with a 12.3 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a 1.5µm sensor, that allows for better performance in low light conditions. The Galaxy S7 takes things to another level however, with its also  12 MP rear camera with an f/1.7 aperture lens, and the sensor also sports a larger 1.4µm pixels, which should also  make for great performance in low light. The Nexus 6P does lack optical image stabilization though, which is available with the Galaxy S7/Edge. We can’t wait to put the camera of the Galaxy S7 through its paces and find out exactly how it performs in the upcoming full review and more in-depth comparisons.

Huawei Mate 8 vs Nexus 6P pure comparison on hands 2016 HD

The Mate 8 works on an eight-core CPU, the Kirin 950 SoC, which is backed by a Mali T880MP4 graphic processing unit. Details about the SoC show that the Kirin 950 contains four Cortex-A72 cores buzzing at 2.3GHz and another four Cortex-A53 ones, running at 1.8GHz. The manufacturer showcased the performance of the Kirin 950 on AnTuTu, where it scored an impressive 83,000 points on a demo rig. However, it remains to be seen how it works on an actual end device. An i5 coprocessor is incorporated, and it useful at assisting low-power processes. Huawei pointed out that the secondary SoC was crafted using TSMC's 16nm FinFET process.

Nexus 6P's chipset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, and an in-depth look reveals that four Cortex-A53 cores run at 1.55GHz and the other four Cortex-A57 cores at 2.0GHz. The graphics of the Nexus 6P rely on the Adreno 430 GPU.

The Nexus 6P sports a capacitive touchscreen of 5.7 inches, able to display at 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution. The multi-touch screen is made of Gorilla Glass 4 with oleophobic coating. The camera combo on the Nexus 6P consists of a main snapper of 12.3MP with laser autofocus, dual-LED flash and an 8MP selfie snapper. Underneath the main camera sits a fingerprint sensor, as well.

Features such as touch focus, geotagging, panorama, HDR and face detection are available for both phablets.

The Nexus 6P battery is powerful at 3,450mAh, yet is slightly smaller than the Mate 8's, which carries a massive 4,000mAh unit.

RAM, Storage Space And Price

A few combos of RAM and storage are available for the Mate 8. One is 3GB of RAM with 32GB storage space, another is 4GB RAM with 64GB storage space, and the last is 4GB of RAM with a hefty 128GB of storage space.

Their respective prices roam around $480, $590 and $700, respectively.

The Nexus 6P also comes in three variants, all equipped with 3GB of RAM. Load capacity is variable for the different models, with 32/64/128 GB of storage space.

U.S. pricing for the three 6P variants are $499, $549 and $649.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 6s hands on comparsion test Demo 2016

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 6s hands on comparsion test Demo 2016

When we compared iPhone 6s with Samsung Galaxy S6 in September, it was difficult to pick a winner. Some said it was unfair to compare it with the Galaxy S6 as it was almost six months old, so now that Samsung unveiled its much-awaited Galaxy S7and Galaxy S7 edge we thought we should compare it with the new Samsung flagship to see how it stacks up against Apple’s iPhone 6s.

Design

Samsung certainly raised its game with the Galaxy S6 with an all-new design. The front had a familiar look and feel to it, but the metal frame with the shiny bezel, and glass back panel instead of cheap plastic that it has always been criticized for, made them the most visually stunning devices Samsung has ever made. So you can’t fault Samsung for not making any major changes in the design with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. Instead Samsung added IP68 dust-proof and water resistant capabilities and an SD Card slot. The IP68 rating without the use of any port covers is quite a feat of engineering.

iPhone 6s comes with a unibody aluminum chassis and glass front panel that is curved around the edges of the display. Apple has used 7000 series aluminium for iPhone 6s’ chassis, which makes it stronger and less slippery than its predecessor. 

It is difficult to pick between the iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 when it comes to design, they’re probably the most good looking smartphones that are available in the market. I would give the Galaxy S7 an edge as I don’t like the ugly antenna bands at the back of the iPhone 6s.

Display

iPhone 6s comes with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a 1334×740 resolution serving up to 326 PPI. It also comes with 3D Touch, one of the major new features of the device. 3D Touch introduces a completely new way with how you interact with your iPhone. Instead of just tap and gestures, the iPhone 6s is also capable of detecting how much pressure has been applied on the screen. You can check out our article on how 3D Touch in iPhone 6s works to know more about it. The glass screen of the new iPhone is manufactured from a new dual ion-exchange process, which involves replacing sodium ions in glass with potassium ions, which Apple says makes it the strongest glass ever used on a smartphone.

Galaxy S7 comes with a larger 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display with a 2560×1440 resolution serving up to 577 PPI. Display experts, DisplayMate, say that the newest smartphone from Samsung improves in every area that could be improved upon from the Galaxy S6, and even manages to earn the publication’s “Best Smartphone Display” award for all of its improvements.

Processor and RAM

iPhone 6s is powered by Apple’s new 1.85 GHz A9 chip, which comes with an embedded coprocessor and 2GB RAM.

Galaxy S7 is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 8890 chip comprising of 4 x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz and 4x custom M1 cores clocked at 2.4GHz.

On paper, Galaxy S7 seems far superior, but we will have to wait for the benchmark scores to find out if it outperforms the iPhone 6s. Despite having just a dual-core 1.85GHz processor, iPhone 6s had outperformed the Galaxy S6 in single-core performance in benchmark tests with a score of 2488 compared to Galaxy S6’s score of 1213. iPhone 6 had offered similar multi-core performance as the Galaxy S6. Leaked benchmarks have revealed that the Galaxy S7 GPU performance will be better than iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus.

Single-core performance is arguably the most important performance metric for smartphones. Every app benefits from improved single-core performance while only specialized applications will benefit from improved multi-core performance.

Camera

iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 both ship with terrific smartphone cameras. Galaxy S6’s camera got rave reviews, and according to some experts, it was better than the iPhone 6s especially in low-light conditions. Samsung has upped the ante even further with the Galaxy S7. It comes with a 12.7-megapixel camera, which is a downgrade in terms of resolution compared to Galaxy S6’s 16MP camera but with larger 1.4µ pixels. Galaxy S7 also features a large f/1.7 aperture and OIS, which when combined with the large 1.4u pixels should make the Galaxy S7’s camera even better for low-light shooting.

S7’s camera sensor comes with a bigger aperture so it has an edge over the iPhone 6s (f/2.2) when it comes to taking photos in low-light. It also has Optical Image Stabalization (OIS), which is available only on the iPhone 6s Plus.

Samsung has also included a breakthrough ‘dual pixel’ technology, which allows the Galaxy S7 camera to focus almost instantly. No, we are not even talking about 0.25 seconds focus time here, we are talking about almost instantaneous focus, irrespective of the lighting condition. ‘Dual pixel’ sensor technology is usually seen in DSLRs, and this is the first time that this technology has been employed in a smartphone camera sensor.A dual pixel sensor uses 100 percent of the pixels for phase-detection

A dual pixel sensor uses 100 percent of the pixels for phase-detection autofocus, while a traditional camera sensor with PDAF uses less than 5 percent of the pixels for this. The light being absorbed by the sensor is sent to two pixels — instead of one — which then allows the ISP to process it better and focus quickly.

iPhone 6s comes with a 12-megapixel camera with 1.22µ pixels. Apple has been renowned for the quality of its smartphone camera for years. The camera alone was a reason to recommend the iPhone over Android smartphones. However, things have changed in the last couple of years as Android OEMs have managed to catch up, and in some scenarios even outshine the iPhone.

Apple had introduced a new feature with the iPhone 6s called Live Photos, a way to bring photos to life, which is quite cool. It may seem gimmicky to some people, but people with children will immediately realize the value of the feature. Not surprisingly, Samsung has introduced its own take on the feature called Motion Photos.

Battery

One of the things that probably matters most when it comes to the smartphone is battery life. Galaxy S6 comes with a 3000 mAh battery, which is almost twice as big as iPhone 6s’ 1715 mAH battery. It remains to be seen how the Galaxy S7 performs in real world situations. Despite Samsung claims that Galaxy S6 offers better battery than the iPhone 6, the general feedback has been largely negative, with some users struggling to get more than 3 hours of screen-on time on their Galaxy S6.

Pricing

On Verizon, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have been priced at $672 and $792, respectively, with monthly instalment plans starting from $28 and $33/month. On T-Mobile, you can buy Samsung’s latest Galaxies for $669 and $779. AT&T is charging the highest for the retail variant of the handsets: $695 and $795; though under its Next plan you can get the handsets for $23.17 and $26.50 monthly payments. Sprint is charging the lowest at $650 and $750 for the full retail variants of the handset. Please note these prices are for the entry-level 32GB model.

But if you’re planning to buy the Galaxy S7 then it may be a good idea to wait for sometime, as unlike Apple, Samsung ends up slashing prices after a month or two. When Samsung launched the Galaxy S6, it was priced at $672, but since then prices have dropped, and you were able to get it for as low as $576 for the entry-level 32GB model in couple of months.

iPhone 6s starts at $649 for the 16GB model, however unlike Samsung, don’t expect Apple to drop prices anytime soon.

So if you wait for sometime, you can not only get the Galaxy S7 for a lower price, you also get twice the storage space for that amount.
