The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is really . Apple has introduced them last night, surprising the audience with some unusual choices like the Quad Core processor, a first for an iOS device, a new fully glossy color but above the output in many markets, including the Italian, to September 16. The new iPhone, in fact, has already won fans ready to run the pre-order on the official website of the bitten apple from 9 September.
That’s why we decided to compare it with one of the most renowned smartphone but at the same time he appreciated the Android counterpart: Samsung Galaxy S7 . A comparison on the paper that will have as protagonists them and through which we at IBTimes Italy will try to clarify things for users watching them carefully and refer to the purchase of the device that best suits him.
OPERATING SYSTEM . As with any confrontation that clash sees two terminals from different ecosystems, we start right from the operating system that may be the deciding factor for the purchase of one over the other. The Apple smartphone is equipaggato with iOS 10 that of previous generations improves the user experience thanks to a faster system , different graphically with the revised application interfaces to be even more simple yet interactive, but always functional .

for example, you can delete system applications and use an improved Siri whose intelligence has also been taken within the keyboard, which now provide contextualized suggestions. All with the extreme optimization that has always characterized the Cupertino developers and is based on speed and stability . The same, or nearly so, can not be said of Android, which arrives on Samsung Galaxy S7 in version 6.0 Marshmallow improving itself so much from the older version, but still prefer a setting of type versatile .
the green robot allows the end user to move freely between the operating system directory and act on it by changing the parameters you prefer. One thing impossible on IOS that from this point of view, where for example there is the inability to manage the Bluetooth to 360 degrees or to set “easily” a ringtone, remains therefore a closed system. It seems clear, then, that those seeking the ultimate freedom you will prefer to iOS instead relies entirely to providing a work environment always ready.
DESIGN . Both designers of both companies have preferred to shape the body of the previous generation who so liked to users, focusing mostly on curves and other small details. In the case of the iPhone 7, Apple has moved the bands of the antennas at both ends of the body to attract the eyes of users all over the body of the new iPhone, smooth and enveloping but above all resistant ‘ water, splash and dust . He shall help to attract attention on the iPhone by the Home button redesigned from scratch .
button “normal” is switched to solid-state button, made to be more durable, responsive and sensitive the pressure due to the new Taptic Engine that returns a more precise tactile feedback. In addition, there are two new colors in addition to the classic silver, gold and rose gold. Let’s talk about Black and Jet Black, with the first from matte finish ensured by blasting which enhances the intensity of black and Jet Black, with a pure black and uniform, where it is not clear when it ends and where it begins aluminum glass, that comes from a remarkably precise process of anodising and polishing in nine stages.
Samsung, starting with Galaxy S6, has reviewed and modeled curves to follow the metal profile thanks to a process 3D thermoforming developed by his own company. 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 by using aluminum and glass, it is also water resistant: to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters to a maximum of 30 minutes, and to the powder. Even iPhone 7 has a protruding camera. In terms of size, iPhone 7 is great 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm and weighing 138 grams. Samsung Galaxy S7 measure instead 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm compared with 152 grams of weight.
DISPLAY . The innovations introduced by Apple on the screen are not many but they are. The HD Retina display 4.7 inch diagonal and 750 x 1334 pixel resolution and 326 PPI is brighter than 25% over the previous generation and has a wider color gamut. It means that to create the image, the display has available a highest number of gradations . A level of functionality should be reported instead of the Touch 3D technology that makes the iPhone can detect how much pressure armies on the display.
The 3D Touch fact reacts to the lightest of pressure variations and records accurately a dynamic range of stresses. Also the variations of gravity that occur when you’re holding the device. And depending on the intensity detected new features are available in addition to the Multi-Touch controls such as touch and slide, developed to enhance the user experience. Samsung Galaxy S7 instead one screen Super AMOLED 5.1 inch diagonal, 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and 577 ppi .
a widely lighted panel of his own and with 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 . For the first time ever on an iOS device, Apple filed a SoC with quad-core processor with 64-bit architecture. This is the A10 Fusion with two high-performance cores be able to perform the tasks in half the time taken by the iPhone 6, and two high efficiency core that consume only one-fifth of the energy than the first two. Power and efficiency, therefore, are balanced at best even if it brings up the GPU Six Core up to three times faster than the iPhone 6. The RAM support is 2 GB LPDDR4 .
Even Samsung Galaxy S7 offers the right balance between performance and resource management despite the SoC Exynos 8890 Octa Core CPU that offers with two clusters: the first, with custom design 64bit ARMv8 uses four cores to 2.3 GHz high-performance ARM Cortex-A72 of derivation, for the toughest workloads, while the second cluster, four-core type Cortex-A53 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 .
Trusted Benchmark there are none yet and thus to know which terminal is more powerful it will be necessary to try both of them together with the hand. Both, finally, are equipped with fingerprint reader placed under the single Home button front and a similar connectivity: Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, NFC, A-GPS, LTE and HSPA + 21/42 Mbps. 7 uses the iPhone 4G LTE Advanced standards to touch speeds of up to 450 Mbps in the download of data.
MEMORY . iPhone 7 is available in three versions: 32, 128 and 256 GB of non-expandable internal memory . Samsung offers instead Galaxy S7 in denominations of 32 and 64 GB . On the latter type UFS 2.0 memory, it Expandable thanks to support MicroSD cards . The winning choice is more flexible for users constantly looking for space, therefore, would be to 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.
However, have up to 256 GB of internal memory soldered directly to the motherboard and then particularly high speeds, or otherwise superior to any MicroSD is an advantage to consider.
MULTIMEDIA SECTOR . Many new features for the iPhone 7 multimedia sector that is renewed on all fronts. The rear camera takes advantage of a new sensor from 12 MegaPixel with quicker autofocus, open F / 1.8 lens and six to direct more light on the sensor for bright, clear images flash True Tone four LED that illuminates 50% more than the iPhone 6s. Also present was the optical stabilizer that helps the lens to compensate for the slightest movement, allowing time three times longer exposure than the iPhone 6s.
Before peeps a new 7 MegaPixel camera that captures images with a wider color gamut and leverages the display, which lights up at the time of a timer, as flash. All these components are controlled by a new image processor (ISP) that handles more than 100 billion operations and uses a machine learning technology to return perfect images due for example to the local tone mapping and white balance.
the rear camera of Samsung Galaxy S7 uses a 12-megapixel sensor but the type Dual Pixels . Here all the pixels on the image sensor are provided with two photodiodes instead of one, allowing the camera 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 the iPhone 7, for photos always vivid and full of detail even in low light conditions .
The front cam is 5 megapixel on the iPhone and how you can use the flash as a screen. Both devices then offer a number of features included in the app directly to the camera as Live Photo Apple or Samsung Motion Pictures that capture the three seconds before shooting. Nothing to report a sound level for Samsung and iPhone 7 comes a second speaker that makes the richest but most stereo audio. Absent finally the 3.5 mm audio jack on the iPhone 7, replaced by the new Lightning connector and dedicated EarPods.
Battery . As always the autonomy discourse deserves a simultaneous test of all terminals because they are particularly complex to be treated on “paper.” The reason? different batteries for a hundred mAh can safely be equivalent. The main differences in these cases, in fact, depend mostly from the screen and from the processor but comparing different operating systems, also from the respective optimizations. The autonomy of the iPhone also has never been their forte.
iPhone 6s began a unit on the market with 1715 mAh while the only battery information iPhone 7 It is that it will last up to two hours longer than the previous model with the new A10 Fusion chip. A statement which suggests the possibility that the battery is always the same. Samsung Galaxy S7 has a dowry of a 3000 mAh with the support Quick Charge technology that reduces the charging time: 90 minutes to take him to 0-100 %. Can also wireless charging but with specific accessories.
TAKE WHAT, WHO WINS, wHO LOSES? both terminals, as we have seen, differ in some aspects analyzed individually can push the purchase of one over the other as in the case of the operating system: iOS by a Android on the other side and, or the presence of rapid charging and cardiofrequenzimentro on Samsung Galaxy S7 and 256 GB native on iPhone 7. Overall, however, at least from a performance point of view, are equivalent introducing himself to the press as a two solutions for those looking real top range.
another factor to keep in mind to buy, the most important perhaps, is the price with iPhone 7 in first place among those most dear. Need 799 € for the basic version with 32 GB of memory, 909 € for the one with 128 GB and you get up to 1019 euro for the one with 256 GB . Samsung Galaxy S7, however, has a starting price of 729 euro in recent months has fallen up to 550 Euros making it an attractive smartphone and also affordable. Everyone is aware of the fact that Android devices will soon devalue while iPhone 7 should keep up its value.
However, choosing 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 technical specifications of the two devices.
