Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs iPhone 6s Plus: Phablet Face-off

2016-08-21
on one hand we have the latest iteration of the lineup that created the phablet category and on the other we have the iPhone that grew up to compete deciding which one is a better buy is actually less complicated than you think so let's begin I'm he might leave a tie with pocket now when this is Galaxy Note 7 versus iPhone 6s plus brought to you by deep brand pocket aus galaxy note 7 coverage is made possible by D brand manufacturer of precision cut vinyl skins for smartphones tablets and other gadgets go to D brand.com slash galaxy to pimp out your new galaxy note 7 this is one of those comparisons were defining a winner is very subjective while one phone was designed to do substantially more than the other the added features aren't really the things that the average consumer is looking for the Galaxy Note lineup was born from day one as a Productivity tool it isn't just the bloated Galaxy S but a device designed to be large with the idea of giving you a larger canvas to work on the iPhone 6s plus follows a completely different mentality where here you're pretty much just getting a bloated iPhone to serve a niche of users wanting one my point on the iPhone isn't just an oversimplification hold it with one hand to note as a power button that's not easy to reach because it simply scales the success design in a top and bottom bezel that pushes finger travel again just to scale the success stack the galaxy note 7 beside it and you get the point that I'm trying to make believe it or not the note is five millimeters shorter four millimeters narrower 0.6 millimeters thinner and a staggering 23 grams lighter and even if smaller the note sports a larger 5.7 inch display compared to 5.5 with better resolution at quad HD compared to 1080p and superior quality with AMOLED compared to IPS LCD about the only point in favor of the iPhone and hardware is the aluminum which handles fingerprints better than gorilla five now comparing internals would be a waste of time given the efficiency of iOS but on the things that matter the note seven starts at 64 gigs of storage that's expandable compared to 16 gigs with fixed ears for $100 apiece the note 7 is ip68 water and dust resistance impaired to none on Cupertino and the note has fast and wireless charging compared to none on the iPhone the note 7 also sports better cameras resolution might be the same at 12 megapixels but the note 7 has larger pixels at 1.4 compared to 1.2 it has a larger field of view as well at 26 millimeters compared to 29 and a brighter aperture at F 1.7 compared to f-22 now the differences aren't always apparent during the day as both devices provide great color saturation deep contrast in detail but once you compare these phones at night then oh seven just annihilates the iPhone 6s plus in almost every shot selfie shooters also share 5 megapixels in specifications but at 22 millimetres and f 1.7 aperture the note 7 offers a better experience than the F 2.2 at 31 millimeters of the iPhone and as for video recording even with comparable stabilization the note always provided punch your color and then to add even more points in favor of the note 7 you have a Wacom digitizer and an S Pen to provide you with added productivity tools and an Irish scanner that's fit for more secure biometrics we have separate videos detailing each of these and even if we know that you don't really need these features they are definitely a great added value the iPhones only added value is 3d touch which is also another feature that you don't really need but can also be nice sure it mimics long press on Android but the pressure-sensitive display offers added brains for the iPhone to provide different options depending on how hard you press now we're not even going to waste time comparing iOS with Android because that ship has sailed each platform has enough points to love or hate between them and the things that matter we could say that both devices are just the snappy and practical on both of their respective operating systems sampson provides just this much bloat as apple and unique features like night shift mode on iOS compared to the blue light filter on samsung's ux i do prefer the note 7s approach to multitasking where the large canvas serves to fit two apps at the same time or the edge shortcuts that save you the need to leave the application to launch another or even the always-on display i'm not going to sit here and just tell you that the note is a better phone because of these features but if you think of it it serves a point for you to have such a large canvas and be able to take advantage of it game play is also a delight on each given apple's use of metal and samsung's use of vulcan and i'd say that the phablet size is actually perfect for this particular usage scenario but that being said the only reason you'll enjoy games more on the iphone 6s plus is because it completely destroys the galaxy note 7 and endurance you'd think that having such a large battery on the note would pay off but you'll have to top it off by the end of the day or sometimes earlier depending on your usage by contrast killing the iPhone 6s plus battery is not that easy sometimes yielding a second day of heavy use without a problem so at the end of the day deciding on each of these phones highly depends on what type of user you are neither one of these phones is affordable so defining what you need is essential if what you want is a tablet replacement meaning a large phone with great battery life that's also great at gameplay and has a solid ecosystem then look no further the iPhone 6s plus is the phone for you now if you want a phone that's just this large but doesn't feel that way that's also a great productivity tool which actually fits better in your hand has awesome cameras uncompromised security features an S Pen for whenever you need it an expandable storage well then pretty much don't even think about it get the galaxy note 7 as a power user I will admit that the added battery life makes me consider the iPhone 6s plus but I ended up inclining towards the features and ergonomics of the galaxy note 7 hands-down
