Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 7: Which is the best?

Date April 13, 2016 Author Catherine Category Software Upgrade

Since Samsung Galaxy S7 has been released, the overall reaction seems to have been largely positive both from professional reviewers and actual consumers too. Even the new iPhone SE won’t imperil its position. If you ask who will be its strong competitor, it will be iPhone 7, which is said to be the thinnest iPhone ever – ultra-thin, super-thin, the thinnest of the thin! 



Although iPhone has not released yet, its full specs has been spread widely. This handset will be the first iPhone to use OLED display technology, opening up lots of design possibilities for Apple with future iPhones. On the hand, Galaxy S7 apply super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. It seems both the two can surprise customers. So which one will be the winner? To figure it out, let’s see a specified comparison between the new released Samsung Galaxy S7 and the iPhone 7 that will be released soon.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs  iPhone 7: Design

At this stage information on the iPhone 7’s possible design is fairly limited. Given Apple’s usual MO we’re fairly confident it will be a significant overhaul, as the firm tends to keep things incremental on the ‘S’ models (like 2015’s iPhone 6s) and then puts in big changes on the lone number models, with the iPhone 7 of course being one of the latter. On top of this we’ve heard rumours Apple plans on making the handset incredibly thin, thin enough to warrant the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack and the adoption of built-in stereo speakers and a proprietary set of headphones (Bluetooth and/or Lightning connector compatible, allegedly), if the rumours are true.

There’s also strong hints that Apple is working on doing away with the physical home button and embedding a virtual home button and Touch ID in the screen itself, but that might not come until the iPhone 8. The iPhone 7 will almost certainly retain the same size display as this year’s models with 4.7in and 5.5in models to choose from – although there is talk of a 4in iPhone 6c dropping in April.

Other whispers say we’ll see a “streamlined” design with fewer obvious antennae bands, a thinner bezel around the display, and the absence of any camera bump whatsoever – the sensor will reportedly fit flush. There are also some murmurings about waterproofing.
Generally though we’re expecting an extremely sleek and distinguished new iPhone that’s super-thin and entirely made out of metal.

Although different from their predecessors in some ways, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are, on the whole, quite similar to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in terms of design. The overall shape, build quality, and materials (metal and glass) are all pretty much a repeat of last year – not that this is a bad thing of course, as last year’s Galaxy S6 series was gorgeous. The most notable improvements include the addition of IP68 waterproofing and a microSD card slot. It’s also worth noting that while the Galaxy S7 is pretty much the same size as the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S7 edge is not only distinguished by its unique curved edge display, but also by being much larger than both the Galaxy S7 and the last-gen flagships, with a 5.5in display.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 7: Specs & Performance

We can’t really make any claims re: the iPhone 7’s performance as the handset is still very much under wraps at Apple HQ. But, based on prior history, we can make a few intelligent guesses about where Apple will make improvements over 2015’s iPhone 6s.

Likely candidates include display resolution, imaging, battery performance, connectivity and water and dust proofing. These are the areas we expect Apple to focus on later this year when it announces its three, new iPhone 7 models.

The Galaxy S7 may look and feel a lot like last year’s Galaxy S6, but in practice — and in terms of performance — this couldn’t be further from the truth. Samsung has smashed the ball out of the park with this year’s flagship, which boasts excellent battery performance and a market-leading CPU in the form of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (providing you can get that version, that is).



GSMArena has also benchmark tested both the Galaxy S7 Exynos 8890 variant and the Snapdragon 820 variant, and similarly the site said that both phones came up with very fast results.

“It seems both Samsung’s and Qualcomm’s custom processor cores turned out for the better and we like where things are going. It was about time the CPU race switch from core count competition to actual processing power and optimisations. Both new entries came very close to Apple’s 1.84GHz Twister CPU champ, which means Apple’s first spot in this department will be threatened in the months to come.”

In Geekbench 3 Multi-core testing the Exynos Galaxy S7 came “top of all devices we’ve tested so far”, meanwhile AnTuTu 6 “puts the Galaxy S7 trio on top of all smartphones we’ve put through the same test,” though with the Snapdragon 820 powered S7 edge at the top.GFXBench tests on the two GPU variants also found more-or-less equally impressive performance
