What is better iPhone Samsung 7.

Despite the fact that most of all users are discussing Galaxy S8, the demand for Apple iPhone 7 does not fall. Therefore, it will be logical to talk on the topic of what is worth choosing - Apple Device or Korean?

In our opinion, the choice is obvious - the subject of the site is :) But let's still carry out a small comparison and explain why Galaxy S8 is a good purchase and what is it better iPhone 7? Go!

The screen without frames - there is no such iPhone

Leave standard dimensions, but stretch the screen to the entire front case - a brilliant solution from the samsung, is not it? It should be noted that it often went and rumors that Apple plans to use the same technology in its future smartphones, but there is no significant confirmation of these rumors.

If the screen takes more than 90% of the entire front panel in the S8, then the iPhone 7 occupies no more than 2/3 spaces.

Unlock smartphone

And here, perhaps, parity. The iPhone has a classic button on the front side of the device and an imprint scanner is mounted.

The Galaxy S8, the scanner was transferred to the back of the smartphone and placed almost next to the camera - very much. But at the same time, you added the possibility of unlocking using the retina scanning your eye - and this is a revolutionary solution.

Fast charge

An excellent thing that gives 100 points ahead flagship of the South Korean company, compared with the iPhone.

the iPhone, according to modern standards, is stuck terribly long. Spend about 2 hours on a complete charge - it is very painful. Galaxy S8 in this sense is much more pleasant - get almost 50% of the charge for half an hour, it is worthwhile.

Wireless charger

Additional paragraph to the previous comparison - S8 supports Qi and PMA adapters. Of course, with a wired charging, you can quickly charge the smartphone, but the wireless version is really convenient. As regards Apple, apparently, the corporation is still planning to make it in the iPhone 8, but at the moment, the iPhone can not boast the option of wireless charging.

Two slots for SIM cards

While Apple thinks Samsung has long been doing a long time ago. For many, the support of two SIM cards is a huge plus.

Yes, in Galaxy S8, there are still minor restrictions - you can use either two sims (but without a memory card), or one SIM card + memory card. But agree, it is better to have the ability to choose than to get just one slot for SIM cards and everything is exactly what happens in the iPhone.

Apple, in turn, is unlikely to ever install two slots, because it is aimed at maximizing benefits. In America, everyone buy a smartphone with the conclusion of a contract with the operator. That is, the iPhone will only work with one operator at a specific tariff - and this is one of the reasons why the installation of the second slot will not be in the novelties from the apple corporation.

USB TYPE-C or LIGHTING?

Technology micro USB. begins to obscure, so Type-C is a great sAMSUNG solution. You can transfer data from a PC to a smartphone with a huge speed by supporting USB 3.1 versions. iPhone 7 is far from such indicators because only 2.0 version supports.

In addition, Apple frankly trying to catch up, selling its adapted accessories. And you need to buy them, because with third-party USB accessories in the iPhone 7 will not work.

Availability of 3.5 mm connector

There is no standard connector in the iPhone 7, because of which you have to use third-party adapters if the standard cord has broken down. In S8 connector 3.5 mm. Therefore, it is not difficult if you break down the standard cord to go to the store and buy any headset - it will be guaranteed to work. In addition to S8, it allows you to work with data synchronization and charge the device at the same time. In the case of an apple product, adapters are needed again.

Payment by phone

Yes, and Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 allow you to "enclose" into the device data cards and use your smartphone with cashless payment in stores. However, U. Samsung Pay. There is one very important advantage - they can be paid absolutely everywhere (any terminal is suitable).

Apple Pay, in turn, can not boast of it. For iPhone, you need special terminals with contactless payment. It is impossible to say that these are some unique terminals - they are more and more often. But at the same time, Galaxy S8 is more convenient than you do not need to worry about this.

Outcome

In this article, we did not consider things like:

• What is better - iOS or Android?
• Who has a faster processor, more memory and who recruits many "parrots" in synthetic tests.

Just because it is not so important. Both smartphones work as quickly as possible - the user does not have to think about it. But on the basis of what we listed - Galaxy S8 in many respects surpasses its competitor.

Therefore, you need to either buy a novelty from Samsung, or expect iPhone 8, which should either catch up with the current South Korean flagship, or surpass it. If the iPhone of the new generation does not show any innovations to their potential buyers, then it does not make sense to consider it as a purchase.

P.S. What do you think? What is better - samsung s8 or iphone 7? Write in the comments. Well, support the "Like" position, let each "+1" says that Galaxy is the best mobile device In 2017!

On March 29, Samsung introduced its new flagships, and fully justified all the expectations of fans. Extremely attractive externally, smartphones contain an impressive stuffing, including the Infinity Display screen and the retina scanner. However, how functions of devices exceeds the possibility?

Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7: Comparison of Characteristics

Below is a summary table, a clearly demonstrating difference in the Galaxy S8 \\ S8 Plus and iPhone 7 \\ 7 Plus specifications.

Volume of the drive

Galaxy S8 received 64 GB of integrated memory (twice as compared to the predecessor) with the ability to expand due to the card microSd memory. Thus, Samsung offered a more flexible and less expensive option, in which users do not need to pay more per version with the impressive storage volume. On the other hand, Apple never envisaged the possibility of expanding the volume internal memoryAlthough I added a version of 256 GB to the iPhone line and increased the amount of memory in base version Smartphone with 16 GB to 32 GB.

Cameras

Novelty from Samsung received a 12 megapixel chamber with aperture F / 1.7 and optical stabilization (as well as in the previous model). According to the manufacturer, the number of megapixels remains the same, but it was improved softwareresponsible for the work of the camera.

The front camera Galaxy S8 is equipped with an 8 megapixel sensor with autofocus.

In comparison, iPhone 7 is equipped with a 12 megapixel module with aperture F / 1.8 (front camera - 7 MP), and IPhone 7 Plus received double chamber . Currently, none of the Samsung models does not possess such functionality.

With regard to zoom and various effects, which offers, "apple" smartphone is certainly a leader, but if the camera's productivity is important, then it is better to pay attention to Galaxy S8.

Functional Galaxy S8 against iPhone 7

Samsung has largely revised its practice for devices and no longer equips the models with a large number of different functions that can not be used by the owners of smartphones. In the desire to make devices easier and convenient, the company is caution with care what functionality is to implement. Galaxy S8 got a lot useful featureswho are missing in iPhone 7, including support for wireless charging and virtual reality, NFC module, uSB-C port, cardiac rhythm sensor, Bluetooth 5.0 module and 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones.

Samsung developers for the first time refused physical button "Home", and the print scanner has placed on the rear panel.

Galaxy S8 became the first Samsung smartphone, which implements support that allows us to turn the gadget into a real desktop by connecting it to it peripherals (External monitor, mouse, keyboard).

In fairness it is worth noting that the iPhone 7 also has its own chips - support for Apple Pay, 3D Touch and stereo speakers. In addition, the iPhone 7 version 7 is available in the red housing.

Software: Android vs iOS

Perhaps one of the most significant differences between Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 is an operating system. The first works under android management, and the second - iOS. Both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages and, ultimately, the user's choice is reduced to its preferences.

In Galaxy S8, the manufacturer has improved the software by making it a more convenient and affordable user. If we talk about the first impressions, the Galaxy S8 plan is significantly different from smartphones issued by Samsung earlier.

Apple has plenty of time to get around Galaxy S8

Before making any conclusions about which smartphone is better, you need to remember that Galaxy S8 competes with last year's iPhone model. It is likely that in September the situation will change when Apple will present a new jubilee (iPhone marks 10 years) generation of its smartphones. According to rumors, the ruler will include the iPhone 8 model with a curved OLED display, a new generation processor, support for wireless charging and an eye iris scanner.

According to the Consumer Reports rating published not so long ago, Samsung Galaxy S8 was recognized as the best smartphone on this moment. At the same time, he overtook even in the ranking new iPhone 8. And it became interesting for us to compare it with, which is now about the same.

At the same time, indirectly will answer the question of what is a word, and what is the answer. It is possible to say that first the iPhone is coming out, and Samsung responds to the exit of its model, or, on the contrary, Apple every September is trying to keep up with the Koreans.

An additional incentive to compare the technique was the fact that their minimum cost on official sites is approximately equal and differs in only three thousand rubles. That is a little more than five percent.

Of course, the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8 have already compared more than once in the spring, but now it is more relevant than half a year ago. We will see how even a somewhat outdated iPhone is better or worse than the flagship of the current year.

We will compare smartphones according to parameters such as specifications, real speed Work, the results of benchmark tests and camera capabilities.

For the provided Samsung Galaxy S8, we thank the GRAB service. We have already told about this service in detail when the DJI Spark was reviewed, which was able to buy by 10-12 thousand rubles cheaper than the dealers in Russia. It is especially pleasant that the moment that he was still not officially sold in Russia.

The service is known for drivens the buyer and traveler who can bring something from any country where it will be. The advantage of this method is that the goods are definitely not wrapped at customs as a parcel, and plus in another country the goods may be cheaper or better. Especially do not forget that there are things that are not sold in Russia at all.

Why exactly the iPhone 7 Plus?

For comparison with Galaxy S8, we took exactly the iPhone 7 Plus, as it is closest to the screen diagonally and the price. His camera is also better than a regular seven, but Samsung declares that their cameras do not know equal. So the comparison will be more objective.

Specifications

Points in comparison will be accrued in quantity, and not significance, since the significance each determines for itself.

From the point of view of the screen, Samsung wins unambiguously. Many say that amoled is not very good, and someone does not digest IPS, but still, if we say that the diagonal of the display S8 is greater than the iPhone 7 plus, and the size of the case is almost the same as At ordinary seven, this is enough to give him a score in this comparison.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 1: 0 iPhone 7 Plus

Unlike iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8 can work with face recognition. Many say that this feature is easy to deceive, but in fact it is not so simple. The smartphone himself immediately removes all the responsibility for what is happening and speaks of the company's refusal from responsibility in the event of the use of this method of authorization, but this does not mean that it is easy to deceive. We tried to do this in the editorial office, but nothing happened. Plus, the presence of recognition to face does not mean the lack of a scanner of prints. Therefore, there is a score of S8. Moreover, he also can recognize the eye iris.

Samsung Galaxy S8 2: 0 iPhone 7 Plus

The battery is a controversial issue. On the one hand, it is a little more Samsung, (3000 mAh against 2900 mAh), but it really works less than in the iPhone 7 Plus. There are different scenarios of use, but on average, if you just use the browser, messengers and listen to music, wins the iPhone. Even with the clock connected, the autonomy of the iPhone is better.

Samsung Galaxy S8 2: 1 iPhone 7 Plus

Water protection at S8 is better. It meets the IP68 standard, not IP67, like the iPhone 7 Plus. Of course, both smartphones will be able to spend some time in the water, but Samsung has all the same at this better.

Samsung Galaxy S8 3: 1 iPhone 7 Plus

It is impossible not to note the presence of a wireless charging, which, unlike iPhone, has many years in Samsung. Perhaps it uses units, but the rest will have a choice, to use it or not. Moreover, supported by manufacturers of furniture, cars and other household subjects, which embed QI to their goods, is even more customizing support for this function. For the presence of such a function, Samsung score.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 4: 1 iPhone 7 Plus

Application start speed

Letters in the specification are only letters. Especially since not everyone needs wireless charger and water protection that allows you to swim with a smartphone. Therefore, we checked how two smartphones really work.

To check, we decided to install a specific set of applications on both devices, which will open after the device reboot in turn, and watch how fast they all will open.

It turns out that in one of the most important iPhone indicators ahead. The same applications on it are launched much faster.

Test results

There is no need to talk a lot about the results of tests, as the numbers themselves speak for themselves.

Samsung Galaxy S8 showed a little higher results, but do not forget that there is a certain measurement error, and still these are numbers, but in fact, as we have seen, the iPhone works faster.

Camera

To determine the capabilities of the chamber, we did not use special means of the type of tripods, monopods and stabilizers. Although with a separate stabilizer, the picture quality will certainly be better. In this case, it is more important for us to just understand the picture quality. Nevertheless, the stabilizers can also be bought through GRABR. The same DJI OSMO Mobile will be significantly cheaper in the United States, not to mention China.

We made pictures in different conditions on both smartphones and watched who some more like. As a result, we came to the conclusion that both cameras are removed perfectly, and even both can give portraits, which in both cases are obtained with varying success.

To determine the winner, we conducted a vote in the editorial office and came to the conclusion that the photos are approximately the same, and their difference is more at the level of personal preferences. Nevertheless, we came to the conclusion that with natural lighting the Samsung Galaxy S8 camera has a small bias in the direction of warm shades, and during artificial lighting the situation is diametrically opposed. In the dark, pictures on Samsung are obtained lighter, but slightly more noisy.

RESULTS

As it was said at the beginning, everyone makes conclusions for themselves, but we tried to compare two smartphones and came to the conclusion that last year's iPhone model is no worse than the flagship from Samsung. Soon we will have an update, and the comparison will be irrelevant, but while we have what we have. In the iPhone 7 there is no wireless charging and the level of protection from water downward, but not everyone needs it. But it works great and copes with all the tasks.

Once again I remind you that buying something good and expensive, you can save, making it through the GRAB service. It does not need to subscribe to it and constantly pay something. It is enough to see the price in local stores and twist it in a couple of minutes with the price of delivery from another country or city, after which it is to make a decision. And, of course, it is worth using Grabr if you really want a rare gum, which you can buy only in the states, or a bottle of real tequila from Mexico.

Two great companies. Two avid competitor. Judicial claims, accusing each other in plagiarism. Holivar fans. Samsung and Apple has a rich history. However, for those who choose their side in this "War", nothing to change anything. Fans of "Apple" will pick up the iPhone, even if he suddenly lags behind the parameters from flagship Samsung. For a whole mile and vice versa.

However, if you read this article, you must have to be rational, which is choosing a mind, not a heart and you are interested in the real state of affairs and an honest comparison of parameters. Well, for you our battle of current flagships of two giants - Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7.

We also tell a little about two more confrontations: iPhone 7 Plus VS Galaxy Edge. 7 VS. Galaxy Note. 7.

To compare the appearance of gadgets, in fact, it is always very ungrateful, because it is known that there is no "taste and color of comrades," but not to talk about the design of the heroes of this review would be unfair, and the matter is not even that Apple and Samsung are investing huge funds in its development, just in terms of external view Both seven really distinguished themselves.

The Seventh Galaxy came out a little earlier than the iPhone 7 and many delightedly exclaimed "ah!", Because the South Korean giant is very long in the design issue for the flagship, it seems that finally fixed on the right direction. Galaxy S7 became the perfect version of the sixth "galaxy".

But it turns out the seventh iPhone and the second "Ah!" Is heard. After two, probably, the most unsuccessful design of the models - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Apple has released an amazingly beautiful seven.

And who is cool here - Apple or Samsung? Who to call the winner in the battle of designs - Galaxy S7 VS iPhone 7? Yes, to be honest, I don't even want to do a subjective conclusion, because both companies frankly tried and both devices are very good. But, however, we do not forbid you - admire and give your voice.

Speed

Well, here to compare the iPhone 7 Apple VS Samsung Galaxy S7 is already easier, although the subtleties will be.

The smartphone of the South Korean giant is produced in two variations - in one "beating" the 8-core "heart" exynos is a processor developed by Samsung, to another 4-core Snapdragon from Qualcomm. The first version is addressed to the whole world, the second - the United States and China.

IPhone 7 works on its own A9-4-nuclear processor. However, most of those reading this review probably understand that not in the number of nuclei of happiness, but, more precisely, not only in them. However, in order not to start in the complex technical explanations of the mechanisms of operation of all three processors, we just say that in the benchmarks in the tests of one nucleus A9 leads, but Snapdragon and Exynos will win it in total.

In addition, the volume random access memory Samsung Galaxy S7 - 4 GB, and iPhone 7 - twice as fewer - 2 GB. Well, then - then everything is folded? The phone of the South Korean giant is obviously powerful, why compare further? Not so simple.

S7 - no more powerful, but potentially more powerful. What do we mean? And the fact that it is the cornerstone of the cholivarov of the fans of "apples" and Koreans) work smartphones on different operating systems - Apple iOS. and Google Android And the latter is known for its voraciousness. In addition, since the development of android does not do the South Korean giant itself, but an excessive company, the possibility of optimization is not so wide, like Apple and iOS. So it turns out that the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 with different glands in speed are equal. That is, if you give the user to appeal one and another gadget, he will not notice the difference.

ROM.

As you know, the iPhone never supported the work with the external memory, at some point, Samsung refused to refuse this opportunity for the flagships - allegedly due to the lack of components in the market quite quickly ROM.

However, the argument is not nonsense, after all, who would the user who would have happened if the flagship began to slow down when accessing external memory? Of course, the company, whose brand is depicted on the smartphone housing, and not a third-party memory manufacturer.

However, in the seventh "galaxy" to work with MicroSD, it was decided to return, so that model row The flagship is only one model - with 32 GB ROM, which can be expanded by external memory up to 256 GB.

But Apple in this area is without change. No external cards, choose from models - 32, 128 and 256 GB (though, the more memory, the more expensive will cost, and the differences in price will be considerable).

Cameras

Perhaps the most interesting section of the Battle of iPhone 7 against Samsung Galaxy S 7 is a comparison of their cameras, because for the first time the main chambers of flagships have equal "megapixelity" - 12 megapixel to "brother". And this is despite the fact that some time ago there was a two-time gap between the devices.

Apple no longer changed the sensor of 8 megacles for a very long time, proving that "not megapixels of uniform," (Sensor 12 MP appeared at the predecessor of seven - iPhone 6S), and Galaxy flagships have already begun to work with 16 megapixel and suddenly returned to 12 megapixel. Why? Because in the Galaxy S7 chamber, it was decided to increase the size of the pixel - the more pixel, the more light falls on it, and therefore the possibilities of night shooting are becoming better. This technology was named Dual Pixel Camera. And she, by the way, has also positively affected the focusing and clarity of the pictures.

If we talk about large changes in the iPhone's main chamber, then it is worth noting the advanced color range and a new lens with a greater luminosity. And also finally the appearance of an optical stabilization system - this change was very waiting for the iPhone 6S, and, in general, waited, but only in an advanced version - iPhone 6S Plus.

In the chambers of the flagships of EPL and Samsung there is still a bunch of changes "on trifles", but there is no sense to describe their meaning, it is better to simply explore the tests of the pictures.

What do tests demonstrate? Two excellent cameras, which in the afternoon, and at night they give out very cool frames. But all the same, most independent experts converge in the opinion that in conditions of insufficient illumination "Korean" leads. And in comparison iPhone cameras 7 VS Galaxy S7 Last wins manual setup features.

But as for frontal cameras iPhone and Galaxy, here to highlight the leader, perhaps, it is impossible, although the "apple" the front-line is equipped with a sector of 7 MP, and the Samsung flagship is 5 megapixel.

Autonomy

What about the round - Autonomy of the iPhone 7 VS Autonomousity of Samsung Galaxy S7? Here is the alignment. Capacity of the seventh iPhone battery - 1960 mAh, Galaxy S7 - 3000 mAh. Again the obvious leader in our review - what is better? Not really. We will have to remember again about the voracious android and much more modest in iOS appetites. And even in standby mode between S7 and iPhone 7, the difference of 60 hours - the I-gadget will stretch 240 hours, Korean - 300, in active use mode it is unknown who "die" first. But, most likely, the flagships will show the result, typical today for any powerful smartphone - Day without recharging. But it is important to note that Galaxy S 7 supports fast charging technology, and the "apple" flagship is not.

Display

Galaxy S7 is equipped with a diagonal of 5.1 inches, permissions 2560x1334 pixels, which corresponds to the density of pixel 576 PPI, AMOLED technology. iPhone 7 has a diagonal of 4.7 inches, resolution 1334x750 pixels, density - 326, IPS technology.

According to the figures, the flagship from Samsung is leading again, but the clarity of both displays (it determines the density of pixels) at height and the human eye will not be able to understand which one is more generously equipped with pixels. Well, if there is no difference, as they say, why pay more?

You must have noticed that the displays of the devices are manufactured by different technologies. We will not start in long explanations, say only that amoled displays are often accused of implausible saturation. True, here Samsung goes towards users and makes it possible, thanks to a simple setup, make shades more natural.

Waterproofing

Comparison of Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 by moisture protection Again, not on the hand of Apple-device. The casing of the South Korean flagship is protected according to the IP68 standard - this means that the device is not afraid of moisture and dust, and can also be immersed at a depth of 1.5 meters for a while up to 30 minutes.

The advanced "apple" is protected according to the IP67 standard - iPhone 7 as well as its main competitor is not scary moisture and dust, but it will only endure the dive on the meter, and in addition, with the time the properties of moisture protection will deteriorate. And, by the way, in the official roller, Apple shows only the fact that the seven is nicking the rain and splashes, but nothing is said about the dive into the water, and it makes it makes quite understandable conclusions.

Related models

iPhone 7, as well as iPhone 6S, was also presented in the Plus version, and Galaxy S7 has accompanied the S7 EDGE smartphone. The main difference between South Korean devices - design, edge received a large diagonal and a screen that is a bit bend on the side face. And if you compare the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus, then I must say that the latter not only stretched out in the "Growth", but also got a sharper double chamber - there are two 12 megapixel modules in it, and it makes it possible to receive not only more Qualitative frames in conditions of insufficient illumination, but also play with steep effects.

So if you compare the capabilities of the iPhone 7 Plus camera and sAMSUNG smartphone Galaxy S7 Edge, Apple Gadget will win, because the S7 EDGE version received the same module as S7.

On the other hand, many believe that if you compare the design of S7 edge vs iPhone 7, then the first will be cooler. Yes, we said that the design thing is subjective, but the screen drunk on the side faces looks as cool and original that it will be reasonable to call it in this struggle. Strangely enough to admit this, but EDGE is such a "delicious" as iPhone 7 looks like modestly.

Another concomitant model Galaxy S7 can be called smartphone Galaxy Note 7. And therefore, the IPhone 7 Plus VS Galaxy Note 7 mini-battle is also needed. And, I must say, here the South Korean model is something to boast, with the same powerful stuffing, as in S7 (in some way Note even cooler - more diagonal and 64 GB ROM), it has more steep chips like a scanner of the eye and Stylus S-Pen. Of course, the scanning technology of the iris is still needed to "run around", but must admit that in the "Innovation" round between Samsung Galaxy Note 7 VS iPhone 7 Plus, the South Korean gadget leads.

But in the round explosion hazard - Galaxy Note 7 VS iPhone 7 Plus "Apple" wins. Even those who are far from the world of gadgets were heard of exploding NOTE - a very large-scale "tragedy". And at least, Samsung representatives assured that this is the problem of only the first party and recalled the defective smartphones, they would have been wrong about this, because such a "incident" with Apple would never have forgotten.

Total - So who is better - iPhone 7 or Galaxy S7?

Before summarizing and choosing a winner, we must say that whoever has not turned out to be - Galaxy S 7 or iPhone 7, you must understand that the two of these smartphones and the concomitant models - iPhone 7 Plus, Edge 7, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 - The most powerful gadgets in the modern mobile market. But still, who is cooler?

"Dry" numbers will not give to Sieve - the winner in this difficult battle is the South Korean flagship. Well, well, a processor that plays in the Benmark and 2 gigabyte RAM Apple can be easily forgiven - well, why spend extra resources if IOS has very modest appetites in comparison with Android. In addition, you can forgive the camera that gives pictures in conditions of insufficient visibility is slightly worse and the display, the density of the pixels of which is less than that of Galaxy S7 - again, why leaving where the human eye still won't notice.

But! Why does Apple do not make the battery at least equal to the Galaxy S7 tank and then the already not voracious iOS will be able to work almost twice the longer. Plus, the "apple" lags behind the indicators of moisture protection. So where, finally, such a long-awaited technology of fast charge? There is already difficult to find an excuse. And if you still remember that in the iPhone 7, Apple allegedly decided to leave only one Lighting connector, getting rid of the standard audio connector (now the "apples" can listen to music or with the original headset, or through an adapter), becomes quite sad.

Well, finally, the price. The average cost of the flagship of the Southern Giant is 45,000 rubles, iPhone 7 - 55,000 rubles (for version with 32 GB ROM).

However, if you are a "appar", you don't drink anything here, you will have to save and put up with disadvantages, because 99% of those who at least once IOS have no longer want to return to Android. Well, of course, it's nice to feel ourselves "Apple Club Member", after all, who knows there that you have for Samsung in your hands, but the "apple" on the back will immediately explain - in front of you flagship, because there are no flagships of Apple does not.

Apple iPhone 7 finally found a worthy opponent in the face of released Galaxy S8 from. In anticipation of the official release of iPhone 8, which will take place in almost six months, you can really highlight some of the foundations in favor of selecting Galaxy S8 instead of the iPhone 7.

Design

From the point of view of design, Samsung Galaxy S8 speaks by the obvious winner. Flameless design of the device with the Infinity display on the front panel looks very futuristic. iPhone 7 with his traditional design, developed three years ago, clearly loses competition. Thanks to the cramless design, Galaxy S8 looks compactly even with a large 5.8-inch display. The glass body on the metal frame gives Galaxy S8 a type of premium device. This design appeared in 2015 on Samsung Galaxy S6, but since then has become more ergonomic. Refresh the situation and new color solutions running by the company also helped to refresh the situation.

Both phones of dust and waterproof, although Galaxy S8 has a more winked result of IP certification. IP68 rating at S8 means that it can stand in cool water up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters. iPhone 7 has an IP67 certificate confirming that it may be in cool water no more than 15 minutes, and the maximum depth is 1 meter.

Display

Examine design in combination with infinity display galaxy screen S8 more and better in comparison with iPhone 7. Smartphone has a 5.8-inch curved display Super AMOLED with resolution QHD + (2960 x 1440) and aspect ratio of 18.5: 9. Such a new format is better suited for multitasciation and at the same time convenient to control the smartphone with one hand. As for the quality of the image, on the evaluation of the DISPLAYMATE resource, the Infinity display has a rating a + - the highest of when-for awarded. In addition to high resolution, brightness and contrast settings, Infinity Display on Galaxy S8 is the first display with Dolby Vision technology. It is also certified by the HDR-10 standard.

iPhone 7 still has a 4.7-inch display Retina HD IPS LCD with a resolution of 1334 x 750. The advantages of such a display are excellent viewing angles, brightness settings, saturation and contrast. Also implemented support for color space wide spectrum DCI P3 for better effects. The DisplayMate resource also called the display as the best among LCD on smartphones, "located on the verge, which LCD technology can only enable. However, front iphone panel With a diagonal of 4.7 inches simply cannot be compared with the excellent QHD + Super AMOLED-Screen Galaxy S8 in consistency, brightness, color and other aspects.

Times when the LCD screens exceeded AMOLED, irrevocably gone. Samsung made a significant breakthrough in this area, and now amoled displays are very promising. No wonder if Apple plans to implement an AMOLED display in the iPhone 8.

The LCD display of the iPhone 7, however, has a huge advantage in the form. This technology measuring the pressure level allows users to interact with operating system on a qualitatively new level. What is displayed on the screen is directly determined by the level of the instructed pressure. Although the main iOS applications benefit from the appearance, the technology did not become such a large breakthrough in the field of digital entertainment, which originally seen his Apple.

Processor, RAM and disk space

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 became the first flagship smartphone On Android based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. The eight-cadet CPU technical process of 10 nm operates at a frequency of 2.35 GHz and complemented by excellent graphics processor Adreno 540. The international version of the smartphone is based on the Samsung's own chipset, exynos 8895, which is also equipped with an eight-year processor of the technical processor of 10 nm. Both chipset use Big.Little technology to provide a balance between performance and battery life.

the iPhone 7, on the other hand, is based on the Apple A10 Fusion chip with four cores - two high frequency and two on low ones to maximize performance and at the same time reduce power consumption.

Despite the technical process 14-16 nm, A10 Fusion is ahead of efficiency qualcomm chipsets And exynos used in Galaxy S8. As for performance, A10 stands up above, not leaving other chipsets no chance of victory in single-threaded applications. Only with the active use of multithreading chips Qualcomm and Exynos can somehow compete with it.

There is another important factor that needs to be considered - it is known that samsung devices Reduce your productivity in a few months. Although it happens with the iPhone, the loss becomes noticeable only in a year or two after the acquisition. Galaxy S8, if you draw conclusions from previous models, it will start to slow down much faster.

the iPhone 7 is equipped with two LPDDR4 RAM gigabytes, whereas four gigabytes are available on Galaxy S8. However, the additional amount of RAM does not necessarily mean winning Galaxy S8. The fact is that iOS managed resources more efficiently, and less permission screen iPhone 7 means that applications will need less memory than on S8. It is aggravated by the features of Samsung design, which consumes a large number of resources.

As for multitasking, Galaxy S8 copes with it somewhat better, holding more applications in memory. But many other android phones with 4 gigabytes of RAM are greatly superior to it.

The approaches of smartphones to the disk space are very different. Galaxy S8 is available only in an option with 64 gigabytes of the built-in disk space, whereas for iPhone 7 are offered options: 32, 128 or 256 gigabytes. iPhone 7 uses a high-speed PCIE-based solution - one of the most advanced on the market. The permanent memory based on the NAND characterizing Galaxy S8 is also considered one of the fastest, but still somewhat displaces the Apple narrowly-controlled platform.

Although Galaxy S8 is available only with 64 gigabytes on the disk, it offers a slot for mICROSD cards. This means that users can increase the size of the repository using the cards of up to 1 terabyte. It is impossible to do with iPhone 7: models with a large number of disk space require substantial costs.

Camera

Both phones have a twelve gear chamber on the back side, but they still differ much. The iPhone 7 camera has a relative opening F / 1.8, an optical image stabilizer and a pixel size of 1.22 microns. Camera Galaxy S8, on the other hand, has not changed from the times of Galaxy S7: a twelve gearcale chamber with pixels of 1.4 μm, OIS and Dual Pixel technology.

A slightly wider relative hole and dual pixel allow Galaxy S8 bypassing the iPhone 7 in poor lighting conditions. To improve camera performance, Samsung uses computing tricks - like Google with their Pixel smartphones. This means that, like Pixel, Galaxy S8 quickly makes three pictures in a row and combines them into one with a lower noise level, a large dynamic range and better reflection of parts. If the realization of Samsung at least half is so good as Google PixelThe camera of this smartphone should be perfectly removed with low lighting.

Both phones are also able to shoot video in 4K resolution, to shoot live photos, apply a slowdown and much more.

As for front-line cameras, the iPhone 7 can pose with a sememium-gepixel device with a relative hole F / 2.2 and Retina Flesh, while Galaxy S8 is equipped with an eight-megapixel F / 1.7-camera with autofocus. Autofocus should allow the front chamber S8 to shoot more good selfie, while support iPhone Retina Flash gives him a win in conditions of bad lighting.

Rainbow Eye Scanner, Face Recognition and Other Sensors

Although both phones have the same main set of sensors, including an accelerometer, a non-contact sensor, a gyroscope, a fingerprint scanner, etc., Samsung Galaxy S8 has an additional set, missing in iPhone 7. On the front of the Galaxy S8 there is a rainbow scanner. Samsung first applied this technology in Galaxy Note 7 and now improved it even more. The smartphone also supports the recognition of a person who is not on the iPhone 7. However, the recognition system is quite imperfect: it has been shown that it is easy to deceive with the help of photography.

Finally, Galaxy S8 has a heartbeat speed scanner, although there is no special benefit from it.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with a battery for 3000 mAh, while iPhone 7 - 1960 mAh. Batteries of both smartphones are unknown. Although Galaxy S8 has a large battery capacity, it consumes more electricity due to the larger screen and resource sensors. Therefore, it becomes difficult to say which phone provides the longest battery life - among other things, it strongly depends on the device's manner.

However, Galaxy S8 has two advantages: fast and wireless charging. The S8 battery is charging from scratch to one hundred percent in just one hour. iPhone 7, for comparison, does not support any fast charging technology - moreover, with its factory charger On 5V, it charges especially for a long time. In addition, Galaxy S8 can be quickly charged in wireless mode, while iPhone 7 can not at all. Of all the devices available on the market, only Galaxy S8 supports both Qi and PMA - various wireless charging technologies.

Price

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 smartphones and iPhone 7 are available from all major suppliers worldwide. Although B. currently Galaxy S8 is mainly available only for pre-order, by the end of the month it can be purchased in almost any decent store.

Unlocked Galaxy S8 will go on sale May 9 at a price of $ 724.99. You can also purchase a unlocked version of the carrier, but in this case it will cost a little more expensive.

Both smartphones have several advantages and disadvantages. Design, Infinity Display, Extended Disk Space, fast charge And the rear chamber Galaxy S8 is significantly superior to the equipment of the iPhone 7. On the other hand, the latter wins from Galaxy S8 in the device work with applications, performance, safety and privacy settings.
