Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Apple iPhone 6s: Sixes and sevens

22 March, 2016
The Galaxy S and the iPhone release schedules are out of lockstep, so each gets a shot at sticking around at the top level for at least half of the year. This season, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 lands right in the fast lane with the iPhone 6s already at cruising speed. Come fall, the lanes will change but the chase will continue.

Anonymous, 28 Mar 2016Samsung uses and develops the most advanced tech in phones ... moreNo, Samsung BUY all the components from wholesale manufaturers in larger amounts than they need to prevent their competitors getting the same components they need to get their product to market. They only bully their android competitors out of the competition. They also always release an mid range phone with poorer specs but a VERY similar name to any rival companies flagship phone to cheapen its name just after release (Samsung Z3). LG does this too (LG X cam/ X screen). It seems like a very Korean trait (Hyundai i35 accent, Toyota corolla accent). Samsung also release model variations after competitors top then to outdo them in the long run ( HTC M10 specs benchmarked as faster processing than galaxy s7 then suddenly Samsung release a variation of the s7 to "selected markets" or just enough to be a production model, to out perform HTC. Clearly they knew about HTCs performance) As much as i hate Apple at least they dont cheat.

                      Why is this article comparing winner, when the galaxy s7 is lastest phone. Anyone can beat a phone that already released within 6 months to have better technology.

                        And watch the iphone 7 still only win a couple areas.

                        Besides thats not the whole point of the comparison. Or a comparison in general. It does not require that the two devices have to the same price, released the same time, or anything like. Just comparing. And this is the only way to do that with two device lines that release in intervals like this.
                        If you care like that then compare the Note 6 to the iphone 7. You just sound more like you are upset the iphone lost so badly.

                          Previous comparison was between the Samsung St and the iPhone 6S that was launched in September 2015. We should for the next iPhone to have a real comparison.
                          What scares me about the Android is the security and stories about hacking that come out frequently but no such news about the iOS.
                          For the business minded user that social media, watching videos or playing music is not a priority, the iPhone is a better option.

Generally, you need to have more presses/taps with iOS to do a specific task than Android. iOS has closed the gap somewhat, but mostly through copying what Android does.

                                Quick correction to the article - your didn't need the S-Pen to have the "peek and poke" functionality, hovering your finger over the screen on the S4 gave you that.

                                    I respect both of the devices regardless of me having a 64 gb 6s..
                                    Both of them are titans of their respective company.
                                    Depends upon you that whom do you give the opportunity to be the one for you.

What's bad with Android other than lag is, you need to press more buttons to do same thing what you do with Apple. Even if you open a new photo editor you get choice what will you use to open n photos to edit WITH, will you make it standard program or not? Stupid things steal time, Apple has lenses in same app. Not silly options which package installer you will use to download app.. Wtf
