what's up prizefighters it's the cream of the crop of the smartphone world get ready for a prize five push-out between Samsung Galaxy s7 and Apple's iPhone 6s we're changing things up the prize fight will be decided by this committee of one ring-a-ling a ding dong don't worry it doesn't mean Apple products will win every time like some of you are thinking so let's get it on round one is design Samsung's Galaxy s7 brings our sleekest and most luxurious design ever with an all metal and glass body the downside dropping the bone has caused the backside to shatter so a case is a must it's slightly taller wider and thicker body brings a bigger 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display with a stunning 577 pixel per inch density is gorgeous now Apple's iPhone 6s brings a sturdier all aluminium body with its curved edges but can't compare with its 4.7 inch LCD display with a significantly weaker 326 pixels per inch density it fits in hand a little better because it's not as big but it's finished feels like it could slip out anytime all things considered I'm giving Samsung round one next round of speakers the s7 is the most feature packed phone on planet earth right now in the US it brings a quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor but it's biggest throwback feature is the microSD card slot that supports up to 200 gigs it has a fingerprint sensor with Samsung pay and it still has wireless charging and bring the best voice recognition and Google now oh yeah it's water and dust resistant and can last up to 30 minutes underwater at 1.5 meters there's no removable battery but we've tested its juice and the s7 averaged 16 hours of battery life one of the best we've seen on a smart phone now the iPhone 6s brings an A 9 dual-core processor its biggest feature is 3d touch which could be a game-changer with live photos and in app functions but not enough people are using it there's no microSD card slot no wireless charging no water or dust protection series getting better but voice recognition still isn't as accurate Apple will never do a removable battery but its battery life comes in at a significantly lesser 10.5 hours on a personal note if you're offering a phone with a 4k capable camera you also have to offer more than 16 gigs as a starting storage the s7 starts at 32 and the iPhone 6s starts at 16 of course we know the s7 is brand spanking you but right now it's not even close Samsung takes another round round three is camera cameras matter and the iPhone has long held the title of best smartphone camera overall for years but you know what that's about to change Samsung's 12 megapixel camera brings physically larger pixels that allow it to capture more light with a wider F 1.2 aperture and the proof is in the pudding you can see it in examples like this picture of a daffodil or turning on HDR mode on both cameras for a city scene now they're both great but overall the s7 showed better results except for selfies using the built-in screen flash or the iPhone is clearly better now if selfies matter - you get the iPhone 6s but Samsung takes another route with the better performing camera in round 3 the final round is performing most of these phones are snapping performers and in the 3d ice storm unlimited graphics test the galaxy s7 beat out the iPhone 6s by a small margin which speaks to the strength of the iPhone now in the Geekbench 3 benchmark test for processing the iPhone 6s actually beat out the s7 in the single core score but the s7 prevailed in the multi-core score and then that battery life 16 hours to 10 and a half is no contest you might not believe it but in this prize fight samsung takes all four rounds and is we clear undisputed prize fight winners now even after all this back and forth it always comes down to the ecosystem and the platform that you prefer so it's apples move next but as of now the Samsung Galaxy s7 is 2016 best all-around phone to beat i'm brian tong thanks for watching and we'll catch you all next time for another prizefight you
