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?

It's not about opening multiple apps, its about opening apps. When deciding whether you want a QHD screen and apps that take a few seconds to load vs apps that open up in a blink on a 720p or 1080p screen, you have the option.

Of the millions of smartphone users, only a small percentage need their photos to be viewed on a 60" 8k resolution curved LED monitor, the rest use photos for instagram, documents and just memories... If you're one of the small percentage that need majestic photos, check out the app store for apps like ProCam or Shoot by ProCam for raw photography, manual controls and/or aspect ratios.

                        foolish test designs come foolish conclusion.
                        who would run several games at the same time, who would keep on loading various heavy loading apps consecutively. these are not common routines normal users would do
                        it is common sense if one wants to run an app smoothly, should keep the background as clean as possible, especially for games with good graphics.
                        different games have different settings or mechanism on different platforms. i would think generating graphics on note7 takes longer time, that is loading extra 2.7x of pixels on the n7 than on the iphone. a game alone makes n7 look slower, several more other loadings exaggerates the result.

                            "cough" because iphone 6s has to push less pixels than the note 7, nothing special or surprising it beats it.

                                      Come on guys, the iPhone fans have to have SOMETHING to brag about! Even if it is a "real-world" scenario that would never happen in the real world...

                                      I've never owned a Samsung but Android is miles ahead of iPhone in terms of options, features, flexibility, etc. If it doesn't treat background apps the same way and is slower in an unrealistic scenario because of that fact, so what? It's a trade-off that no sensible person would even worry about.
