The new iPhone 7(Plus) vs Samsung Galaxy Note 7: What are the Difference

Apple has announced two new iPhone devices to its portfolio – the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. They come in 32GB, 128, and 256GB storage sizes. And the iPhone 7 will still be a very impressive and powerful phone. Brand new top of the range Android devices still fail to beat the iPhone 6s on single-core performance, so the iPhone 7(Plus) is likely to be at the top of the tree for some time yet.

Apple claims they will deliver 40% faster CPU performance and up to 50% faster graphics performance than the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. However, before making your decision, find out how they stack up against the hottest Androids – such as the Galaxy Note 7. Without further ado, here’s a comparison review of the iPhone 7 Plus and the Galaxy Note 7.

Performance

Powered by a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset and an Adreno 530 GPU, Galaxy Note 7’s performance is impressive it scored high figures in the different benchmarks conducted by GSM Arena.

That’s going to remain the case with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which boast Apple’s new A10 Fusion processor. What Apple is banking on at the moment is its claim that its handsets’ new 64-bit four-core CPU is 40 times faster and 50 times more efficient than the A9 chip the previous generation iPhones came with.

But no matter which of these devices you buy, you’re going to get great performance. What you really want to focus on are things like storage and battery capacity.

Apple has increased the iPhone’s internal storage this year, so you get a minimum of 32GB and up to 256GB. That’s great, but many Androids let you carry even more by giving you the option to add additional storage with a microSD card.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy Note 7’s primary camera also comes with a 12-megapixel sensor and has various features like touch focus, face and smile detection, simultaneous 4K video and 9MP image recording, Auto HDR and geo-tagging, among others. Samsung’s latest Galaxy Note 7 is widely regarded as the best smartphone cameras available right now, but of course, that could change later this month when the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus go on sale. Apple firmly believes its new sensors will take that crown.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have new 12-megapixel sensors, six-element lenses, and larger f/1.8 aperture that captures more light. iPhone 7 Plus also offers a second telephoto lens that allows for 2x optical zoom and stunning depth of field effects.

Feature

In recent years, iPhone devices have lacked a lot of the features that you can find on rival devices. Unfortunately, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus still lack things like wireless charging, expandable storage, and fast charging, which are commonplace on high-end Android devices. If those things are important to you, Samsung Galaxy Note is your best choice.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is IP68 certified, making it waterproof up to about 1.5 meters deep of water for no more than 30 minutes. The certification also means that the device is dust-proof. The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-running on Galaxy Note 7 also comes with an iris scanner and an improved S-Pen that brings with it new functionalities. It has a v3.1 USB Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, fast charging 3,500 mAh battery that supports wireless charging, Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), and the device comes in three color variants: Blue Coral, Silver Titanium and Black Onyx.

The phablet runs on the new Apple mobile OS, iOS 10, and it has support for Apple Pay (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX certified). It comes with a Lightning reversible connector and a still unspecified Li-Ion battery that, according to Apple, can fuel the device two hours longer than the one found in the 6s Plus.
