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 test just goes to show how unoptimised Android really is, even on reasonably high spec'ed hardware. This will only get worse because of the crappy java virtual machine it is bolted on top of. Roll on Tizen, dumping that resource hog VM is one of the best things that Samsung has done with their Android alternative. Android has had its day, it is getting long in the tooth and is slowly starting to stagnate.

      Samsung Galaxy note7 is a Mr. Bolt of the Mobile Olympic with the 9 Gold in multi tasking and one silver in gaming among the top twenty manufacturing companies of the Android world with the huge market share. Whereas Apple is stood for 5% arrogant elite class and 12% for terrorist class people who have nothing to do in daily life.

            A car wihout hood, doors, window glasses, seats and only 3 liters in the tank will have better acceleration and top speed than the same model of car fully loaded but with all options and confort. Depends wich car you prefer.

                    The iphone 6s 'an year old phone' still costs about the new born N7 but lacks
                    - Waterproofing
                    - amazing camera
                    - amazing qhd display with better sunlight legibility
                    - ram
                    - dual sim
                    - sd card (you need them when the clouds don't show up ;p)
                    - it can read a hdd (android usb port is way more useful)
                    - wireless charging (ever heard of it? Ohh pluck my apple from the tree xD)
                    - last but certainly not the least the thing which iPhone loves to get penetrated with the 'S-PEN' too bad won't be possible in the next iteration (whispering voice - haven't you heard they have closed the headphone jack port XD)

                    And people say the iphone is better ... Huh

                      im sure there are many fandroids crying about resolution difference.

                      Luckily note 7 offers 720p mode, and "surprise surprise" it made zero difference in speed.

                      funny that Samsung removed this most used argument why android phones are so slow from fandroids :D

                          Apple's platform is different and Android is a bit different. Therefore the optimization of the apps's conditions are positively different. It's a planned strategic test's propaganda against Samsung.
                          There is no any phone on the earth that could oust the Samsung Galaxy note 7 usefulness and the working performance.
                          Sansung Galaxy Note 7 is a Mr. Bolt of the Mobile Olympic so far.
                          It's a vested interest of Samsung enemies.

                                        They should compare the Note 7 to a Nexus 6P. Still a world of difference.
