Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge vs Iphone 6S Plus: Design

In general terms, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge retains many features characteristic of its predecessor, starting with the fact that the materials that predominate in its composition are the metal and glass that characterize the previous model, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. However, the metal frame has been improved and is made from the same aluminum that is used for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, so its quality and strength are even better.

A great success of Samsung has been the fact of recovering the microSD memory card slot and the resistance to water being submersible up to 1.5 meters in depth. Two details that were present in the Galaxy S5 but that disappeared in the Galaxy S6, sometimes taking a step backwards means taking two steps forward. Another novelty of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is that its back has been slightly redesigned and now the camera protrudes much less from the body of the Smartphone. Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has dimensions of 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm and a weight of 157 grams. Making Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge vs Iphone 6S Plus in design stay almost on par… although now we detail more about the manzanita.

We arrived at the Apple iPhone 6S Plus and we realize that the apple firm has been much more conservative in the design of its new flagship Smartphone with a case made with the same 7000 series aluminum used in the previous generation. The device has dimensions of 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm and a weight of 192 grams.

Therefore, the iPhone 6S Plus is a bigger and heavier Smartphone despite having both a screen of identical dimensions (5.5 inches), we can conclude that Samsung has known how to take better advantage of the front surface to manufacture a notably terminal more compact.

Who wins Samsung Galaxy S7 edge vs iPhone 6S Plus in the design section? For us, the Galaxy S7 edge is one step above with a much more careful design, especially for the glass finish and the curvature of the screen that gives it a spectacular appearance.

Hardware and software

The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is available in two versions with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor or the new Samsung Exynos 8 processor, both chips are very powerful and in practice it will be quite difficult to notice the differences between the two versions. Other advances that the Galaxy S7 has are the compatibility with wireless charging and fast charging options, a magnetic payment system, a screen with QHD definition, and the use of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system with TouchWiz customization. The processor is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM for an impressive fluidity of the smartphone.

As for the iPhone 6s Plus processor, the company chose to use its own Apple A9. This chip has a dual-core Twister design that reaches up to 1.85GHz and is capable of surpassing the quad-and eight-core processors of Mediatek and Qualcomm giving a whole lesson in this regard and that is how it is said : Power without control it's no use! In this case, the iPhone 6S Plus is satisfied with 2 GB of RAM, although the iOS management of this resource is better than in Android.

Another attraction of this device is the implementation of 3D Touch technology, which allows you to select different commands depending on the amount of pressure that is made on the screen. In addition to traditional touches, the "peek" provides a preview; With the pop, you can see the entire content. Regarding the operating system, the iPhone 6s has iOS 9, which presents notable improvements in the applications pre-installed on the device, in addition to a faster search engine.

Which of the two Samsung Galaxy S7 edge vs iPhone 6S Plus smartphones in the Hardware section? Clearly we see Samsung Galaxy S7 superior for having a larger capacity battery and more RAM.

Camera war

One of the most striking aspects of smartphones is the resolution of their cameras. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S7, the front camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, while the rear camera has 12 megapixels (four less than those offered by the Galaxy S6).

Both have DSLR features such as an optical image stabilizer, sensor, and wider apertures than its predecessor (1.4 and f / 1.9 to f / 1.7, allowing for greater light absorption) and faster focus. Finally, among the advantages of the improvements in the camera stand out the capture of time lapse, and moving images and panoramas.

As for the iPhone 6s cameras, the front has a resolution of 5 megapixels HD, while the rear has a 12 megapixel. In addition to this, it has an aperture of f / 2.2 and a rear lighting sensor, thanks to its exposure control, both automatic and manual; however, its clarity in dark environments is not optimal, since it requires the use of a high ISO value, which fills the image with “grains”.

The rear cameras of both devices allow you to record videos in 4K full HD format, so they have the highest definition on the market.

Who wins Samsung Galaxy S7 edge vs iPhone 6S Plus in photography? On paper the Galaxy S7 edge camera should perform much better in low light situations with a much larger aperture.

Availability, price and our conclusion

Both terminals are built with a high quality design based on 7, 000 series aluminum, the same one used in the manufacture of aerospace ships, so the quality is more than guaranteed. The Galaxy S7 edge is a more compact and lighter terminal with a much better used front surface and has more powerful hardware with a greater amount of RAM and a larger battery.

At the heart of both we find very powerful processors and with spectacular performance, the cameras also look very good in both cases, but the one on the Galaxy S7 edge seems to be one step ahead with a greater capacity to capture light. In technical and design terms, the biggest dilemma that can arise between one phone and another is due to the quality of its cameras. For us it would win the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.
