    It's an Apple lobbyists propaganda. This is the biggest foolishness i have heard for a long time and this type of foolish keeps coming back.

    It's an Android Vs iOS speed test (mobile OS). You're talking about two completely different operating systems. Samsung’s Touchwiz based on the Android 6 version of Android offers more customization options than Apple iOS. Touchwiz is probably the best ROM for Android. I like Touchwiz (Android) because it's well designed and functional, The iOS has lacked functionality. Android with Samsung's TouchWiz skin overlying the OS is very heavy and not to mention that the phone is also pushing a 2K screen with a retarded high DPI. Takes a lot of processing power to do all that.

    Since the iPhones has destroyed all speed tested Android phones. Because of iOS (Big impact). Android made by google, Not Samsung. Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) beats Apple iPhone 7 in the Geekbench benchmark. A9 or A10 are not faster than Samsung Galaxy S7 Exynos (Geekbench benchmark). Apple A9 processors built by Samsung and TSMC. This video is a joke.

    Apple, better mobile OS.. that's... IT. Everything about the S7 beats the rest hands down...

    S7 - Best display, Best camera, Best battery life, Powerful Game Launcher and new Vulkan API. microSD or dual SIM model, Fast wireless charging, Water-resistant (IP68 rating). Samsung Pay (NFC + MST), VR and more. S7 has the best in every single corner. And iPhone still falls short against the S7.

    S7 vs iPhone 7 Camera test videos, Battery life test videos, Screen or Display test videos, Where are the videos? Because Apple lose? Hahaha...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 beats Apple iPhone 7. Camera test - Dxomark Mobiles

    Where is the news??? This site and its writers are iSheeps. They avoid Apple bad news all the time.

    The best all round phone this year is the S7. Samsung still beats Apple in the all round performance.

          Anonymous, 20 Sep 2016Because all those things you said have no added value for e... moreSo all those things have no added value.
          Ok, my first argument is this: only those things separate the high-end from the sea of other "mediocre" phones.
          So why would you pay high-end prices for mediocrity? Why don't you get the high-end tech then for your money? Or why don't you just buy five times cheaper the same thing if you go for mediocrity (you have at least half a dozen other options)?

          Second: if the only value is in speed, then why wouldn't anybody buy the Note7, as it is faster in virtually all everyday tasks? Games load slower, but that's only should be a problem in the 0,01% of the cases. There is a gamer inside me somewhere, and even I open games only one, or two times in a month. On a PC a game many times loads for a minute or two. Some seconds won't really matter, as you will use it for many minutes anyway. But let's be clear here, almost all new phones are blazing fast on the market, with minimal, or non-existent differences in speed. We have reached a level, where every one of them are good for the masses.

          Third:
          -So you don't find value in a much more lively screen? The whole phone consists of a big screen, thats's where you consume the media. Watch a trailer on an amoled screen, and on another one, and you will be crying. Once you get used to it, you will be missing it, and it will be very PAINFUL to watch other screens! (like the difference between some high-end audio system and a cheap one). What do you think, why will Apple change to amoled next year?
          -So you don't find value in the notification led?
          -So you don't find value in WIRELESS CHARGING :DD? It's the most important technology ever since we evolved from the monkeys. You just can't grasp the concept in all of its profoundness. To make it short: it LIBERATES YOU FROM THE SLAVERY OF BATTERIES. You WIN THE EASE OF MIND with it. You can just FORGET about dealing with the feeding of your phone.
          If you can't understand why, then start to focus, use your mind, you will get to it!
          -So you don't find value in fast charging? When you just have a quarter of an hour, and you'd like to get a significant amount of charge, what do you do without it?
          -So you don't find value in a better battery? Interesting, because it's the most inportant thing: your phone has to be reliable. What is it good for, when it's dead? Paired with wireless charging, you get THE PERFECT, ABSOLUTE FREEDOM! You can use your phone for anything you want, as long as you want.
          -So you don't find value in a better camera?
          -So you don't find value in FEELING the PRESENCE of a VR photo??? Believe me, when it works, it's just like a wonder. Like you'd really be trasported to that another place. Just imagine a family photo with it (or a famous place, etc.)! It's a very special experience, even if you don't use it every day, it just blows your mind away!
          -So you don't find value in having a more compact body, not having to carry a giant brick in your pocket, and having a MORE COMFORTABLE grip?
          -So you don't find value in your phone having smaller bezels, being more prettier, and more futuristic? Have you heard about ARTS? About AESTHETIC? People pay millions for beautiful paintings, and other objects. You are looking at your phone 2-5 hours a day. Would you look at something from the last century, or something progressive? I'd prefer to look at that gorgeous, unbelievable piece of wonder :D.
          -So you don't find value in having a pen to your phone??? It's for PRODUCTIVITY!
          -So you don't find value in having a higher water resistance specification?
          Ok these were for the average user. But there are people, who like to tweak the shit out of their phone.
          -So you don't find value in having a more versatile op. sys.?
          And let's just not get started on the INSANE LOW resolution of the smaller Iphone. It's embarassing, it's low quality. Again: for HIGH-END PRICES :DD.

          Ok, you didn't understand how Xiaomi got into the argument, but just believe me, it got there for a good reason.

            Mree, 20 Sep 2016You live such a pathetic life. You spent so much time analy... moreYour observation is so false on every level.
            We are on a technological blog. Here the smallest things about telephones become the whole universe.
            Maybe you can't grasp the concept. This is the place, where every aspect of phones get under a magnifying glass. This is the place, where you analyze the shit out of the subject.
            You don't talk here about our civilization inching forward on the Kardashev scale, you don't talk about picking up girls, or about your business decisions.
            You may conclude, that all tech is unimportant (but why are you on a tech blog then?), but you can get to a point where nothing will be important, and that's called nihilism, and cynism.
            Of course there are thousands of more important things in human life, I guess everybody knows this.
            Here you put your FOCUS on something you are intereseted in.
            And as you saw in my comment, that's how it looks like, when something gets meticulously examined. It can be irritating for somebody, who is superficial about an issue.
            Anyway, I'm just practicing my English (2nd lang.), and trying to make well-formulated arguments.

              A10 is nice chip. The note is a more advanced phone.

Comparing headphone jack to a brain doesn't make any sense at all... A better comparison to a brain would be the phones actual processing capacity... By which in your own definition iPhone would be the scientists... Coz it doesn't have the fancy qhd display or anything....but has the superior computing power...

If both phones had the same processor and the developers of the apps developed the apps with the same features and the same things it would be a fair test. I had read that apps developers include diferent features in the same apps for diferent platforms, and that is because each platform has some real advantages than others. So, the test will be real if the tester knows how the apps developer made the apps, if the app for iOs was developed from the scratch or if is a port and vice versa. So then I will be a fair test.

                      I'm not a fan of Sammy or Apple, but I think this comparison is done without any brains at all.
                      First, lets take the iPhone 7:
                      - 4.7" display on 750 x 1334 pixels (~326 ppi pixel density)
                      - RESTRICTED OS
                      - none to very few animations, transitions, graphics that require RAM
                      - Has a hidden rattlesnake hidden inside that will puff and hiss if disturbed :))
                      Note 7:
                      - 5.7" display on 1440 x 2560 pixels (~518 ppi pixel density)
                      - OS full of always on features, sensors and bloatware apps that gulp the RAM constantly without root
                      - Touchwiz that is full of animations, transitions
                      - The OS and RAM management is not very good thanks to Sammy and after a few months of usage it will lag like crazy unless you hard reset it.
                      - Ticking melting bomb

                      You don't need a high school diploma to figure it out that the displays are totally different, therefore the battle being pointless. The Note has to render a display which is double of the one the iPhone has. Plus it has real multitasking while the iPhone only suspeds the apps while minimised.
                      Android is a totally different OS, keeping apps always on, which means ALL of them, while the iPhone has only the OS and the current app being used to hassle with.
                      They should at least change the resolution of the Note to match the iPhone, or use the bigger plus version.
                      iPhone: for people with no technical skills, that only take photos, calls or fb. (grannies, kids, fashionholics)
                      Note 7: for tech enthusiasts that want a all-in-one phone but is full of bloatware and as a bonus, it will explode if you ask it nice :D
                      I wouldn't use any of them even if they give it for free.
                      The best phones on Android are from Sony and the Nexus line when it comes to optimization, updates and stability.
                      The choice is yours to make.

                          Here's the thing: iPhone 7 is running inferior FHD screen resolution, as oposed to QHD which is basically double (not to mention the screen is smaller despite the phone beeing bigger). Therefore comparing the two is pointless, as Note 7 have a lot more information to process every millisecond. The fact iPhone is only a fraction faster shows only how bad this thing is.

Some people do buy phones so that it is as smooth and responsiveness to use in your daily life, makes things so much more hassle free.. Less of waiting time and more of doing things what you want to do... And let's face it... I do admit note7 has some really cool feature... But majority of the time in hour daily life all we use our phones are for browsing... Messaging apps.... And media content.. Which iPhone is really good at... Am an android fan but it's annoying when i see other android users just coming up with lame reasons to establish iPhone's is not such a good device just to assure themselves their purchase decision was right....

                                  With more features, exceptional QHD sAMOLED screen that works like a dream with VR headset, better looks, 3.5 mm jack, best camera in smartphone market, I would any given day opt for Note 7 in trade with a few milliseconds in opening games.
