The Apple iPhone 7 Plus construction is newer than the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+'s, but it's somewhat heavier and just a little bit thicker. The Apple iPhone 7 Plus counts with a bit better performance than Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with a higher number of cores.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ features a little sharper screen than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a quite larger screen, a better resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a greater pixels density. IPhone 7 Plus counts with a much better memory capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy S6 edge+, because it has 256 GB internal memory capacity.
Galaxy S6 edge+ features just a little bit longer battery duration than iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a 3% greater battery capacity. Galaxy S6 edge+ shoots just a bit better photos and videos than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for shooting photos and video in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same video definition, the Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a back camera with much more mega-pixels and a larger back-facing camera sensor taking better quality pictures and videos.
Although iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the iPhone 7 Plus, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, letting go some specifications.
