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.

I had S1-S4 before. Not so good phones. I never had an Iphone before. I can tell you guys this. Iphone specs might not look good on paper compared to S6 or S7, but the user experience bypasses Samsung phones. Most importantly, Apple customer service is exceptional. Consumers do not just buy the phone itself, but also the customer services of a company and products.

I'm using LG G4. Battery not good. Otherwise, it's a great phone.

    The s7 is 4mm taller than the 6s and the 6s plus is 16mm taller than the s7.

It supposed to point out which phone provides better hardware not which phone he likes the most. Its true that you can choose in between a BMW or a Hyundai that's you're choice if you want to pay for a higher price just for the brand if you believe that is going to give some high end status but that doesn't mean that you're choice is better so just dont bring that excuse that Iphone is better just for the brand its kinda lame and boring.

          SGS7 has 5,5 inch screen - iPhone 6s only 4,7... should we compare similar size devices? There is "Plus" version of iPhone... exactly 5,5 inches as well.

                  Obviously the person who wrote this comparison did not like the iPhone. He couldn't find one little advantage over the S7. I can't understand why most people buy the iPhone even its more expensive. I believe this is like the BMW and Hyundia vehicles both are full option but people prepfers the first one. It's a matter of fine taste. The mobile industry has one title, simply the iPhone the pride of technology.

                          Why did you pit the S7 against the iPhone 6S? You should have used the iPhone 6S Plus as it's screen resolution and footprint are much more similar.

                                    Out of 10 comarisons in this review ,galaxy s7 won 8. 1 remain tie & 1 says 'depends'.
                                    And the conclusion :- Which group of people sounds more like you? That's a great indicator of which phone you should go for - the adventurer or the perfectionist.

                                      Adventurer or Perfectionist? How diplomatic you sounded. We all knew the specs and features, if you called it a review then give your vote for the best. And in this case SG7 has clear edge over the Cupertino's iPhone 6S. SG7 are actually smart phones, where the latter one is just a phone. You have to be fare in your reviews, thats all.

                                        Apple won several of the "contests", but it didn't win any given category. Is English your first language? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it's not.
