iPhone 7 smokes the Galaxy Note7 in this 'Battle of the Sevens' speed test

19 September 2016
A beast of a chipset Apple has come up with for the iPhone 7.

Sort by:

Productivity and speed are relative to tasks a user has to do.

Productive Tasks like phone calls,messages, emails, WhatsApp, scheduling, document related( read and edit), conference calls, social networking etc.run smooth on normal mid range device to high end ones.I personally have hardly seen any difference ( is use iPad,Bb Q5 and Moto G turbo with almost no problems for tasks mentioned above)

Difference is only seen when tasks like gaming,multimedia functions ( movies,songs, YouTube etc.), video conferencing etc. There speed matters and it is expected to run smooth even in long run.

Hence, in real world experience user has to be wise enough to choose the gadget that suits his/her functional requirements.

No gadget or system is perfect. How to use it perfectly is entirely up to user.

Unless Apple has figured out to read your mind and know the difference of you wanting to quick glance or just pick up your phone. "

    IPhone knows the difference, but you don't need mind reading to do that :)

    My screen has never woked up accidentally, its very well done.

    Picking up the phone don't wake up the screen. For example if you have your phone on the table and you put in in your pocket from there, it wont wake up the screen.

        Always on display only shows notification icons, not the content. If you mean the lockscreen then that's the beauty of Android, you get given a choice to only allow notification icons in the lockscreen or the notification content itself. It also has vibrate alert when you pick up the device if you have recieved any notifications. So many options.

In 2016 if someone was to ask what phone they should get I wouldn't bother mentioning performance, since its about the same. Maybe slightly smoother on the iPhone. It mainly comes down to which os you prefer, camera, display, etc.

              Does open a website fast mean anything special? I was of the impression that it is what the device can do make one would want to get it. The Note series of phablet is the most productive, versatile on the market currently so getting there fast and what after? Look and close?

                  As a developer i know why iphone is fast, it's not the processor it the language in which the apps are made. Android apps are based on java but ios apps are made in c language so c language is middle level and faster to run but java is high level and is slow for conversion to machine language.

                    Still, those seconds that proved iPhone 7 faster is not enough to dispute the fact that it cannot substitute the productivity on the note. Dont care if its slower a bit, it is actually fast with productivity on it. Unlike apple, it is fast, yes, but you will feel the annoyance of the missing productivity features. Thats it

                      IPhone 7 rendered Timelapse video in 11s while note 7 took miserably 27s.

                      That is very pathetic from Samsung and shows how superior iPhone performance is

It is not about screen res, radios, skins, etc. It is about optimising the phone components. This is a skill or an art. Apple is good at that. If one day Apple decides to do all that it will never compromise the phone and give such as an excuse. Android has a problem of specs race.

But the general consumer wouldn't really notice that. Unless they have both phones on hand at once. But who even does that, aside from youtubers and overly privileged people?

                            Disappointing performance from the iPhone, seeing as how the only place it's supposed to beat the galaxy note is performance. Basically neck and neck, no noticeable difference unless you were to have both at hand like the youtuber did, and even then the note 7 won utility while the iPhone won gaming.

Don't know why, but the note 7 doesn't even beat that many android competitors. For example a one plus 3 beats it read and write.

Besides conserving battery, it is more private. Anyway a smart phone must be smart enough to only perform the task you want to it do that time, not to always be performing it even if the task is not wanted.

                                      That Timelapse render really shows the power of new A10 chip, iPhone 7 11s vs note 7 27s

                                      That is over two times faster rendering, just crazy performance.

                                      For comparison 6s rendered it in 16 second, so new iPhone 7 was noticable faster than 6s
