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?

    If it's the video I saw it didn't lose. It got schooled and owned at the same time! Made me totally consider the iPhone 7 over an Android flagship!

      AnonD-448401, 23 Aug 2016HAHA well said.ios and android are 2 different os so compar... morewhy use those SOC when DUAL CORE A9 is enough to demolish those SOC. if the iOS can demolish those SOC on a dual core, can you imagine what iOS speed is if they use those SOC???

        As a user (and lover) of the Note series, and owner of an iPhone 1 (2G) and iPad Pro 9.7, I can agree with this. Even the 9 year old iPhone 1 scrolls through photos more smoothly than more recent devices almost 10 years later. Likewise, the iPad Pro is blindingly fast in all aspects of operation. And the reason for all this is that Apple make less devices. Samsung have about 30 models on the market at any one time, and that is not including regional variations, whilst as I type this, Apple have three! Therefore it is much easier for Apple to optimise the software and hardware. I think if Samsung were to do as Motorola/Lenovo have done and keep their device count small, they would have more opportunity to optimise their high end devices like the Note7.

        I stick with Android because the UX is now way way better and more flexible than iOS.

          Software Optimization Vs. Hardware Specification

                Anonymous, 23 Aug 2016So people use their phones by constantly clicking icons, cl... moreHAHA well said.ios and android are 2 different os so comparing them is not fair in my opinion.if iphone uses exynos 8890 or sd 820 then am sure they will get better result than this A9 chip for sure coz ios is better than android in performance so comparing different os with different chips is not fair.

                  Well that is why Apple is loved by those who really know what it is to own an iPhone.

                  Apple haters, most must have never used an iPhone and yet they would be passing comments about it.

                  Every system has its shortcomings. But performance is something no one would like to compromise with. Apple gives exactly that, a smooth performance ( at half the cores to that of any current flagship)

                      So people use their phones by constantly clicking icons, closing/opening apps and so on? And if they did, would the iphone's battery last for more than 3 hours?
