Comparison review
The iPhone 7 Plus has a score of 83.8, which is a little bit better than the Galaxy Note 3's 81.2 general score. The iPhone 7 Plus is a newer and somewhat thinner cellphone than Galaxy Note 3, but it is also somewhat heavier. Galaxy Note 3 counts with a processor that is very similar to the iPhone 7 Plus one, and although the Galaxy Note 3 has an additional GPU, they both have a 3 GB RAM and a Quad-Core processor.
Galaxy Note 3 has a little sharper display than iPhone 7 Plus, because although it has a bit worse display pixel density, and they both have an equal 1920 x 1080 resolution, the Galaxy Note 3 also counts with a little bit larger screen. The Apple iPhone 7 Plus features a much greater storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note 3, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 192 GB more internal storage.
Galaxy Note 3 counts with a little longer battery performance than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because it has 3200mAh of battery capacity against 2900mAh. Galaxy Note 3 has a camera that's just as good as the iPhone 7 Plus one, because although the Galaxy Note 3 has a tinier back-facing camera sensor which gives a lower photo and video quality and a tinier aperture which is not so good for low light photography and video, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video definition, it also counts with a back facing camera with more megapixels.
Although Apple iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Galaxy Note 3, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy Note 3. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone 7 Plus, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Galaxy Note 3, giving up some specs and features.
