Samsung Galaxy Note7 loses to year old iPhone 6s in speed test

23 August, 2016
Despite being a year old, the iPhone 6s is known to hold its own against more modern devices in speed tests. This is in no small parts due to Apple's software optimization, the performance of the A9 chip, and incredibly quick NVMe storage. But how does it fare against the brand new Galaxy Note7?

          This is true. I have both phones, an IPhone 6s and the Samsung S7 Edge and i compared both in terms of speed and YouTube streaming, iPhone is faster although they have same network provider. So i guess s7 edge will be my last upgrade for Samsun

            I could careless about this , like ehh so what ! the personal modding that would be Done to the note 7 is worth it ugh I hate Iphones for some many many Over priced,lacking real innovative tech 'repairability' for the most part sucks ,and Apples constant re-branding of tech that was already there and Basically Claiming it as their own laughable !!!

                    Samsung Galaxy note 7 is for the multi- tasking and official working load , people don't purchase only for the gaming.
                    Note 7 is a Mr. Bolt with 9 Gold in multi-tasking and one silver for gaming among the top twenty vendors of Android manufacturing companies.
                    Apple chip set would also be dull to handle the marshmallow 6.0 Android load and it would be lagged before Samsung Galaxy note 3 certainly.

                          This video has gotten all fandroids fused. I suppose it will be a bloodbath when galaxies will be compared against the iPhone 7.

                              The thing to consider here is the different policies regarding backgrounding.

                              When you hit the home button on Android, the apps keeps running in the background. Only the UI parts of the app is halted.

                              On iOS, unless the app has requested it via some very stringent APIs, the app will be halted, full stop.

                                  Don't care, don't care, don't care! Note7 is the only answer for me, kids. Haha... VR, baby!

                                  Okay, Apple has better software optimization. Software is correctable. Hardware isn't. This area is where Samsung trounces Apple. I was on iOS since the 1.1.4 days. Never went back to them since 2013. I find iPhones bore me to tears. The real power comes from the user's mind.

                                  So apps open up faster on iPhones? What about iPhones lacking in....?

                                  Torrent apps (unless jailbreak)
                                  Sideloading apps (unless jailbreak)
                                  File manager app (ES File Explorer rules!)
                                  Software updates that lags your iPhone after in
                                  Multiple video codec support (can't read MKV or AVI)
                                  No VR
                                  No micro-sd slot
                                  No app gestures
                                  No custom launchers
                                  No ability to change icon pack
                                  No drawer or ability to hide apps
                                  Can't make apps your default
                                  Sharing within the apps is limited
                                  No fast charging
                                  No longer tops in camera
                                  No longer tops in battery life
                                  No longer tops in design
                                  No IR blaster
                                  No removable battery
                                  No FM radio
                                  Terrible value/feature ratio
                                  iPhone 7 is barely getting dust/water resistance
                                  iPhone 7 is barely getting wireless charging
                                  iTunes is still the crux to handle all your media
                                  Can't delete photo albums unless synced to computer
                                  Can't mass delete videos and music (no select all)
                                  Can't have a mini-video player while doing something else
                                  No back button so mandatory home presses
                                  No double tap to wake or sleep
                                  Can't Bluetooth data transfer
                                  iOS doesn't have QuickPic (photos & videos viewer)
                                  iOS doesn't have MX Player for background play
                                  iOS runs well because can't do much in the background
                                  iOS = the mobile OS built for rich or tech dummies

                                  I can go on and on. I think iOS is a cookie cutter OS that promotes tech idiocracy. You pay double to get less features because of stupid mantras like "it just works" and "if it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone." They are as arrogant as Donald Trump. The iPhone tagline says "it changes everything again" when they have changed nothing the last five years and simply copying Android. And iPhones make terrible media players just like their iPods were. Everything revolves using iTunes.

                                  Apple became fat cats. This Tim Cook era lacks a visionary. Jony Ive needs to retire since he lacks anymore ambition. They are just enjoying their money banking on suckers who lack very knowledge using their smartphone. Proprietary this and that including a different charger for you to be stuck in the walled garden and restricted ecosystem. They are milking the iPhone 5 and 6 series a third time in design with the SE and 7. Glad marketshare for Apple is shrinking. Android is beating iOS by 73.3%. Landslide victory.

                                  Nobody outside the United States is falling for their nonsense anymore. The iPhones can run apps faster and smoother but lacks in so many areas too. All that optimization wasted on childish restrictions and being forced to ne part of their overrated ecosystem! So iOS users can have a few areas they beat Android. You can have your iMessages, iTunes, software updates, and ugly iPhone 6 series or rehashed 5s called an SE with a tiny screen for little girl hands. Rather have more features, liberty, better hardware, and value of Androids.

                                  Bye, bye Apple.
