Comparison review
The iPhone 7 Plus has a score of 83.8, which is just a bit better than the Galaxy Note Fan Edition's 80.4 general score. IPhone 7 Plus is an older and somewhat heavier phone than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, but Apple was able to make it just a little bit thinner anyway. Apple iPhone 7 Plus features a display that's just as good as the Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition one, although the Apple iPhone 7 Plus has a bit less pixels per inch in the screen, a quite smaller screen and a lot worse resolution of 1080 x 1920.
IPhone 7 Plus features a way bigger memory capacity to store more apps and games than Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory capacity. The iPhone 7 Plus's processing unit is very similar to Galaxy Note Fan Edition's processing unit, although the iPhone 7 Plus has less processing cores (but faster) and 1 GB less RAM.
Galaxy Note Fan Edition counts with a little better battery life than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a 10 percent larger battery size. The iPhone 7 Plus shoots a bit better pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, although it has a tinier sensor which gives a lower image and video quality and a smaller aperture which is worse for low-light photos and videos, they both have the same video frame rates, a camera in the back with a 12 megapixels resolution and the same (4K) video definition.
Although iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy Note Fan Edition. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can get the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, giving up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
