OnePlus 3 against Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, specific to … – International Business Times Italy

OnePlus 3 was officially unveiled just last night but the network has already conquered the Android enthusiasts who have given him the killer flagship title of 2016. The reason lies in the design, sophisticated and sought, in the updated and powerful hardware equipment, and advantageous price. Features that will allow him to compete head-on with the smartphone of renowned manufacturers.

Among all Samsung Galaxy S7 and the variant with a larger screen and curved Galaxy 7 Edge . That’s why we decided to make a comparison on the paper that will have them as protagonists, with the intent to clarify ideas to users and direct them to the purchase of the device that best suits him.

DESIGN . The one OnePlus numbers chose not to refer to the aesthetics of OnePlus 2 for this new top of the range. The reason? Propose to users, customers and not, a new and modern device. An experiment which they managed to do despite to shape OnePlus 3 will be rebuilt to the part of OnePlus 2 front and rear of the new HTC 10. The result is a elegant smartphone that’s fully in aerospace and slightly curved aluminum on the back to improve ergonomics .

Samsung chose to model the body that both liked to users with Galaxy S6, focusing mostly on curves that are to be reviewed and modeled to follow the metal profile through a 3D thermoforming process developed by Samsung. The result is a smartphone from uniform lines and harmonious with each other despite the camera’s projection whose thickness now stops just 0:46 millimeters.

The shell is molded using aluminum and glass, it is also water resistant : to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, and dustproof. Even OnePlus 3 has a protruding camera.

DISPLAY . Both producers have worked to ensure the best ratio screen / surface. OnePlus 3 begins with a Optics screen AMOLED 5.5 inch diagonal , 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 401 PPI that covers 73.15% of the surface. All protected by glass Gorilla Glass 4 2.5D. At least compared to Galaxy S7 that covers the screen with only 70.63% of the surface.

The flat version of Galaxy S7 has a display Super AMOLED 5.1 inch diagonal , 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and 577 ppi while covering the 70.63% of the surface. Galaxy S7 Edge has a screen Super AMOLED 5.5 inch diagonal, 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, 534 PPI and smart curved edges that covers with 76.09% of the surface. Panels that resolution and pixel density are similar in part.

It is because the Optic AMOLED promoted by OnePlus is nothing but a Super AMOLED modified contrast and color calibration to be “true” . A change made possible thanks to a double layer polarizing which also improves vision in direct sunlight. On Samsung terminals is finally the Always-On feature which continuously shows the time and date, even if the phone is on standby. All without having to unlock the smartphone or enter the main screen.

CHIPSET . The System On Chip on these devices are very different, at least on paper which takes into consideration the architecture Processor: Quad Core on OnePlus 3 and Octa Core Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Specifically, the Chinese terminal is equipped with the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 that includes a Quad Core Processor: 2.2 GHz x 2 + 2x 1.6 GHz, the GPU Adreno 530 and 6 GB of RAM LPDDR4 . The two Galaxy S7 instead integrate SoC, in this case self-produced by the company, Exynos 8890 Octa Core CPU that offers two clusters: the first, with custom design 64bit ARMv8 uses four cores to 2.3 GHz high-performance ARM Cortex of derivation -A72, for the toughest workloads, while the second cluster, four-core Cortex-A53 type to 1.6 Ghz, is dedicated to saving energy without ever being subdued. To support the CPU in operations there are the GPU ARM Mali-T880 mp12 and 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4 . A level of performance products are the same even though they are the Exynos slightly better in both multi-core and single-core mode.

OnePlus 3 However recovers thanks to the 2 GB of RAM rather than allow him a better application management, active in the background. Connectivity is similar for all and includes Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, NFC, A-GPS, LTE and HSPA + 21/42 Mbps.

MEMORY . OnePlus 3 is available in a single version with 64 UFS 2.0 GB of internal memory expandable . Samsung instead offers both the Galaxy S7 that the S7 variant Edge cuts 32 and 64 GB. On the latter the memory, always type UFS 2.0, is expandable thanks to the support of MicroSD cards.

The winning choice is more flexible for users constantly looking for space, therefore, is that of Samsung that does not put stakes its users. At least on paper, because at present Samsung Italy does not distribute in our country versions 64GB.

MULTIMEDIA SECTOR . OnePlus is that Samsung are committed to produce devices from more than good photographic performance. All three, in fact, can be considered excellent cameraphone although some are better in certain conditions as shown in the video below comparison. Specifically OnePlus 3 is equipped with a rear camera Sony IMX298 from 16 MegaPixel with PDAF autofocus, open F / 2.0 , optical stabilizer, electronic and LED flash.

a mix supported by a separate software rich in features such as Smart Capture technology that includes the Dynamic De-noise that reduces the effect of noise in the post-processing, the HD mode that optimizes details image, the Auto HDR mode that is activated to make up for difficult lighting conditions and Smile Capture, the option that allows you to capture self portraits smiling. Samsung has preferred instead, the Dual Pixel sensor 12 MegaPixel .

Here, all the pixels on the image sensor have two photodiodes instead of one, allowing the camera to to focus with the same speed and precision of the human eye. Combined with this technology there is a lens with focal aperture F / 1.7 can capture much more light, even compared to OnePlus for photos always vivid and full of detail even in low light conditions. At the software level, there are many features such as Motion to capture the sliding movements in the panoramas.

The still image of the landscape is a uniform sequence of the clearest frame of the Motion version. To relive the magical moment, just scroll down the screen or repeating the side panning with your smartphone. Or the Motion Photo feature that captures the three seconds before shooting, and allows you to choose the moment to keep. Finally, the ability to use the screen as the front for self-portraits with flash 5 megapixel cam . The front of OnePlus 3 is from 8 MegaPixel .

Battery . The autonomy discourse is always particularly difficult to treat because it deserves a simultaneous testing of all three terminals. different batteries for a hundred mAh, in fact, can safely be equivalent because the major differences in these cases depend mostly from the screen and from the processor. In any case, OnePlus 3 begins with a non-removable 3000 mAh , virtually the same as Samsung Galaxy S7 that a smaller screen.

Definitely the biggest battery Edge version of Galaxy S7: 3600 mAh . The technical OnePlus nevertheless ensure that they were able to perfectly balance all the components together. All three batteries still support the rapid charge technology that reduces the charging time : 90 minutes for the Galaxy S7, S7 100 minutes for Galaxy Edge and 30 minutes to just over 60% of OnePlus 3. In addition, through specific accessories, the holders of the Samsung can also enjoy the wireless charging .

OPERATING SYSTEM . Android is the operating system of both smartphones that specifically also share the same software version: 6.0.1 Marshmallow (on Samsung available as an upgrade). However, it is impossible to make a comparison because their custom interfaces developed and applied by the two producers make the user experience completely different. The TouchWiz Samsung has been completely revised to be more lightweight and convenient to use.

There are also new colors and new features such as those dedicated to Galaxy S7 Edge where you can view up to 9 panels, to have direct access to everything you need: from calling a taxi to see the sports news. With Apps edge , for example, you can create up to 10 shortcuts to apps and folders. The OxygenOS 3.0 OnePlus is smooth, fast, fully customizable and its boasts the fully unlocked bootloader that adds active ROOT permission.

TAKE wHAT, wHO WINS, wHO LOSES? Overall, the three terminals are equivalent in terms of performance but some aspects, analyzed individually, they can push the purchase of one over the other. This is the case of the presence of cardiofrequenzimentro, the water-resistant shell and the curved screen on the sides of the Edge variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7. A feature undoubtedly aesthetic, because it helps to make the terminal more slender and beautiful to see, but adequately supported by the software point of view to an innovative user experience.

Another factor to keep in mind is the Price with OnePlus 3 Available only 399 € while Galaxy S7 has a starting price of 729 € for the flat version and 829 Euros for the Edge version. And although he has already lost part of its value in these first months of the submission, OnePlus 3 it is still the cheapest. Choose which one to buy it anyway to the end user who will evaluate this according to your needs. Finally, here is a table that compares the data sheets of the three devices.
