the usual question we get on Twitter is if X phone is better than the other so if we had picked some of the best offerings in the head-to-head battle you're kind of looking at them I'm how you matter even I will pocket now here with iPhone 7 plus vs. Galaxy s7 edge brought to you by D brand Parker now is iPhone 7 coverage is brought to you by deep brand to buy the best fitting skin for your phone or tablet visit deep brand comm in most cases calling one phone better than the other is subjective some products say that they do more than the other in paper but not all features matter to all users so don't let that be the reason for you to buy a product the case of the iPhone 7 plus and galaxy s7 edge is interesting though as both products are designed to compete against each other directly but approach the market in a very different way both devices are designed to be the larger and more in charger phablet of a flagship lineup both have certain features that better those are the smaller sibling and yeah you can bet that both are the most expensive cream of the crop they represent the difference is an approach start with hardware the iPhone 7 plus is literally taller wider and thicker than the Galaxy s7 edge but you'd ask yourself would four if both devices have the same screen size you even wonder how Apple's legacy in design could allow a plus that's not even ergonomically enhanced for even large hands like mine to reach the power button the S of an edge by contrast is a large phone designed to feel smaller the buttons are easily reachable and the curves on the sides make it seem like a smaller phone that it really is I do have to give props to Apple for the great feel of the aluminum construction doing a better job at handling fingerprints than the glass and metal on the Galaxy but if I had to pick which of these is a better looking phone than the Galaxy wins by a longshot and as for those screens the galaxy continues to take the cake with its quad HD resolution versus 1080p and AMOLED technology versus I yes now the added pixel density isn't really noticeable for the average eye the wider color gamut of the iPhone allows for very accurate color reproduction but it doesn't provide the saturation of AMOLED nor useful features like the always-on display sure the iPhone then swings back with its pressure sensitive display enabling an added layer of interaction through 3d touch but it's not like if the galaxy is a slouch with its edge display menus and shortcuts now the cake the content consumption I would really incline more to the iPhone 7 plus the stereo speakers included are not just significantly louder than the galaxy s of an edge but also more immersive the galaxy you actually have to learn how to hold it and not muffle the speaker sure the galaxy includes a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack but the amp on the iPhone is superior to that of the galaxy providing far louder audio through lightning headphones if you have to now we're definitely going to skip the spec argument because while the galaxy has more power the iPhone is more efficient you notice that the minute you play graphics-intensive games where doesn't matter if you're powered by Vulcan on the Galaxy or metal on the iPhone the experiences move and the phablet size is perfect for this endeavor and what matters the galaxy offers the advantage of starting at 32 gigs with expandable storage while the iPhone remains at a starting point of 32 gigs the galaxy also doubles the size of the battery of the iPhone but in our preliminary testing of both devices and during running videos at mid brightness for 30 minutes the galaxy burns through that battery faster than the iPhone and it could just be because of the added pixels on a display the galaxy s better is in Fast and wireless charging going from 0 to around 45% in 30 minutes where the iPhone can barely scratch 25% in that same time frame the ip68 water and does resistance of the galaxy also means deeper submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes compared to 1 meter over 30 minutes with the iPhone another argument that's not worth our time is the story of software calling Android better than iOS or vice-versa as a matter of taste but in this particular case I do prefer Samsung's approach to a phablet mainly because the software allows for multi window support over various applications the iPhone might not have any of that but one thing that I do appreciate about iOS is how reliable it can be even with the added power of the galaxy minor stutters dropped frames and clunky launch times are common deal after a few months of using the galaxy s7 while the iPhone is famous for doing less but doing it better or at least doing it in a more reliable fashion and then there are those little things that actually matter were both devices include capacitive buttons but you can trust that the iPhones button will not work unless you actually press it because it does have pressure sensitivity whereas in the case of the galaxy it's just quite common for you to be yanked out of your application because of the multitasking buttons people also hate the thick bezels of the iPhones display but I'm more inclined to love the fact that at least these do a better job than the palm rejection or the lack thereof on the galaxy s7 edge where sometimes you don't really understand why an applications not working and it's because you're holding it the wrong way it's pretty much that better implementation of features that sometimes wins props for Apple over doing less but doing it better the camera competition is where things get tricky both devices support 12 megapixel cameras the Galaxy at F 1.7 aperture and the iPhone at F 1.8 both devices are capable of amazing color saturation in detail during the day and both are quite comparable at night the galaxy wins the battle thanks to its face detection autofocus but the iPhone swings back heavily with its separate 12 megapixel telephoto lens that 2 X optical zoom does come in handy in many situations and even if both devices have digital zoom capabilities the iPhone comes on top because of the added zooom of the telephoto lens the selfie Department the iPhone is capable of more detail thanks to its 7 megapixel shooter compared to five but you don't need a selfie stick with the galaxy thanks to the wide-angle lens and the wider aperture at F 1.7 compared to f/2 point to where the iPhone continues to use the most atrocious and dated field of view in smartphone history civilization and video is top-notch on both devices but optical zoom on the iPhone gives the experience of an added kick when compared to the galaxy so at the end of the day finding a winner is actually a matter of taste and paper and in many added tricks the Galaxy would win this one without putting much of a fight but as we began this video doing more is not code for doing better if you value looks Horgan ah mcc's expandability and the bevy of features your money should be placed on the galaxy s7 edge hands down now if you want a phablet you can rely on for other things that actually matter like the camera features be added endurance and the consistency in the experience of software then the iPhone 7 plus is the way to go regardless you're buying into two of the best phones that 2016 has to offer Pacquiao's iPhone coverage is brought
