Comparison review
Apple iPhone 6s Plus is just a bit better than Galaxy S7, getting an 84.2 score against 79.5. Although Apple iPhone 6s Plus and Galaxy S7 were released only a few months apart, the Apple iPhone 6s Plus body is a little bit thinner but incredibly heavier. The Apple iPhone 6s Plus has just a bit better performance than Galaxy S7, because although it has an inferior number of cores and they are also slower and a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a 64-bits processor and an additional graphics co-processor.
Galaxy S7 counts with a bit better screen than Apple iPhone 6s Plus, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a way brighter screen, a better 1440 x 2560px resolution and a greater display pixel density. Apple iPhone 6s Plus features more memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Galaxy S7, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 128 GB internal storage capacity.
The Galaxy S7 features just a little better battery lifetime than iPhone 6s Plus, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity against 2750mAh. Galaxy S7 captures just a bit better photos and videos than Apple iPhone 6s Plus, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the same video quality and the same resolution camera in the back, the Galaxy S7 also has a bigger back-facing camera sensor shooting higher quality pictures and videos and a lot larger diafragm aperture to take better low-light photos.
Although Apple iPhone 6s Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy S7. If you want to save some dollars, you can get Galaxy S7, letting go a couple features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
