Comparison review
The iPhone 6s has a global score of 83, which is a little bit better than Galaxy S7 edge's overall score of 78.1. IPhone 6s works with iOS 9.x OS, and Galaxy S7 edge comes with Android 8.0 Oreo OS. IPhone 6s's construction is a little lighter and a bit thinner than the Galaxy S7 edge, even though both of them were only released 6 months apart.
Apple iPhone 6s counts with a bit better processing power than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a lower number of cores and less RAM memory, it also counts with an extra GPU and a 64-bit processing unit. The Apple iPhone 6s features a little more vivid display than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, although it has a quite smaller display, a much lower pixels count per inch in the screen and a way worse 1334 x 750 resolution.
IPhone 6s counts with a better storage capacity to store more apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory capacity. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge counts with a very superior battery performance than Apple iPhone 6s, because it has a 110 percent greater battery size.
The Galaxy S7 edge counts with a little bit better camera than iPhone 6s, and although they both have a same resolution camera, the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rates, the Galaxy S7 edge also has a much larger camera aperture and a larger camera sensor.
Although iPhone 6s is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the iPhone 6s, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, giving up some specs and features.
