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.

      It’s also important to know that Night Shift isn’t available if you’re running Low Power Mode, and your device will tell you as much if the latter feature is on. Once you can get into the menu, the first thing you’ll want to do is set the “Scheduled” slider to the “On” position. That will let you set the times at which Night Shift will run.

            Samsung S7 beats the iPhone 6S in every test except loudspeaker and performance.
            The two places are where we see a tie. iPhone 6S is still as pricey as S7 in my country, offers
            less storage. Why should anyone buy iPhone ? We get everything better with S7.

                Well, for me it depends on those users though. As an Android Phone User, I appreciate the great work of Samsung. And also for Iphones. Good work.

                  I always play with the latest and greatest Samsung phone and always come away disappointed. The Note 3 and Note 5 I had for a month each sounds like best phone around but they don't stand up to actual use. Keyboard crash, app crash, low quality app, poor battery, overly green or pink screen depending on brightness.

                  If I didn't have an iPhone 5 and 6s+ while I was using the Note 3 and Note 5, they could be the best phone as far as I know but when comparing them to the iPhones, they just falls short. I guess this is why so many people like M over AMG even though AMG always have better spec.

                      P, 22 Mar 2016Ugh, why compare a mediocre mid-range phone with the S7? ... moreMy S7 edge cost me £100 upfront, £36 a month and a free VR headset (again, mine is the the more expensive edge version). My sister got her new Iphone 6s which cost here £199 upfront and £37 a month, no free gift. That's why they're being compared. Plus, they're both flagships, right?

                        It's the first time we see a Samsung phone product literally mopping the floor with an Apple iPhone in terms of a complete product, they've really come a long way since the first Galaxy S everything well and all with iPhone users, but you really must be very loyal or be deeply entrenched with the ecosystem to keep it up when specs are trailing behind significantly

                                Well well well even if the galaxy s7 is the benchmark today. Im not sure after 3 years the battery still hold at least 80 % capacity. Thats why im stuck with my s5 (2years) and note 4 (1.3 years) with extra battery kit .even my s4 (3years) still breathing like dragon (back phone is very hot everytime) but i dont care she still alive

Yet still we know that Apple's biases will still prevail no matter how truthful our statement is going to be… but the éclaircissement that you gave to the readers here is not for the delusive iFans, but to the heady, voguish and wise audience, like you and me. Keep-it-up man.

                                    Why not compare the last Android flagship which is more similar to the S7? Everyone knows that Apple don't use the latest tech, and instead refine it and have their OWN software, unlike the copy and paste Android?
