I bought a 10" Tab and a 12" Note. Niether device offered any benefit beyond size. They didnt offer any factor that I couldnt do On my Note. So first I had an iPhone 4S with my Tab The big problem was tryign to share data beteen the 2. Then I did the reverse and got a Note phone and an iPad, again sharing certain forms of data is not possible. In fact even sharing data with an iPhone and a iPad at the time wasnt as straightforward as it is now.
But it is still much easier to share data with even an older Samsung with a new one with no issue vs even sharing data between to brand new IOS devices. It works very well. It si however no different vs WiFi Direct on Samsung deices. But here is the plus. I can share an Excel sheet and even if the device does have Microsoft Office, I can still use Google Doc or Hacom office which comes on thair tablets.
When I share, that file is available to the app i chose, not a pre-determine default. Default apps is also a big deal to me.
Apple forces you to open every http address in Safari. If I click on a link where I know the site contains media that Safari wont load, I have to copy the link and then manually open the browser that I know works with it like Chrome for example. But if I could set that as my default, it would never require me to copy and paste first. If I want to store a doc not in the cloud, I have to install some stupid wifi app and transfer the file to an iPhone using an IP address, then I cant access that file unless I again open this stupid app.
Apple is not really USA Samsung is not made in China but Korea. Cant agree more with you. I had problem explaining "which one is better? Apple or Samsung" to regular people. All they know is Iphone can take beautiful photos. You greatly underestimate the "me too" factor.
Which is the problem. When the iPhone first came out, it was the best in its class of device, so buying one made sense. But this is no longer the case. I am not saying you shouldn't stick to what you are use too. But what I do see is this and tell me if I am right. For years I watched iPhone users say how they want an open file system, they want larger screens, they want more features, and yet Apple had basically not listened. But did these people switch? Most didn't, they just kept buying whatever new iPhone appeared.
Brand loyalty is good for Apple, but bad for you. You should only be loyal to a brand if they are being loyal to you.
If you want something and the brand you are buying doesn't offer it, then why keep buying it? To me that is dumb. All these OEM's give us the option to come to their site and give them direct feedback out their devices. They do this to get an idea what they should bring to the table. Apple has watch its users ask for larger screens for years and they fialed to bring it until 2 years ago. But peopel kept buying them. What made Apple go big? Apple knew that big screens were a money make and as soon as they made one, 75M people bought it the very first year.
Now Apple has played their last ACE All they can do now is bring to the table what others had for years and those stubborn users who always wanted Android features, will now get them on some level on an iPhone so Apple will get the majority to stay. But if you ask a company personal year after year after year to bring something an they dont, how many times do they have to ignore you before you decide they aren't worth your money?
There is one way to ensure they listen, make them have a bad sales year and they will give you what you want or they will die. These are all guys who felt they were to big to fail in something, until they did. Tell u somethng u r tech nerd and i completely respect that bt der z a large group of people in the world who doesnt think lyk the way u thnk or doesnt go with every new tech phone that comes in market There are more people who want to stick to their phone for yrs Just tell me how many people buys "S" starting line phone now or still using phones lyk S3 or S4 which came around yrs ago My mom gt 5s which she got around Nov The brand is almost everything for Apple's sales.
The software is different but not better. The S7 certainly is a beast hidden in beauty. The iPhone isn't any lesser. It's a beast in its own rank. But I would take an S over it any day. Out of all the Android phones that compete against the iPhone, the Galaxy Saturday is the only one that has remained close to its roots and has shown great potential. Other OEMs have basically stopped competing with the iPhone and are trying to establish their own customer base, but I don't think it's working. Samsung is doing well considering what it's up against. They Varela fighting to battles.
Trying to stay on top of all these Android OEM, whom it also sells components too and compete against Apple who is also a business partner. PA still don't want to admit that their battery test system is flawed. I ll report my average by the end of next week, and I am sure it will be a different result to the ones posted by PA.

Color gamut Color accuracy Grayscale accuracy. The CIE xy color gamut chart represents the set area of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace the highlighted triangle serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. Some organizations standardize on a single platform and build dedicated apps for that operating system alone.
In summary, both platforms support general-purpose apps equally well but Apple has greater richness and depth than Android. Both Apple and Samsung use a fingerprint sensor to secure their phones. Samsung offers additional options, including facial recognition and an iris scanner, but does not have Apple's reputation for tight security. Samsung does not enable data encryption by default; it's a separate switch that you must manually configure. Phone size, screen quality, and better connectivity became determining factors in my Samsung seduction, even though neither the iPhone nor the Galaxy S8 are perfect.
To summarize, the Galaxy S8 hardware is superior to the iPhone 7 Plus while its software is good enough. With this combination, the move to Samsung is consummated and complete. Switching is a hassle, but I'm comfortable with my choice so far. Of course, we will see what happens in the fall when Apple releases its next iPhone. In the meantime, I'm selling my Apple Watch which does not work with Android and deciding which fitness tracker to buy next.

Both smartphones retain a lot of the design language from their respective previous iterations, even more so in the case of the iPhone 6s Plus, but with subtle improvements being made to further enhance the experience.
The Galaxy S7 Edge is also slightly thicker than the Galaxy S6 Edge , but that helps reduce the camera protrusion on the back significantly. Borrowing a design element from the Galaxy Note 5 , there are also curves along the sides of the back, to help the device nestle nicely in the palm of the hand, which makes for a better handling experience.
The larger bezels along the sides of the display and the top and bottom portions of the iPhone contribute to its size, while in the case of the Samsung flagship, the side bezels are almost non-existent. The iPhone 6s Plus comes with a full metal unibody design which looks and feels great in the hand, and while the Galaxy S7 Edge comes with a metal frame, the rear backing is glass.
The glass reflects a lot of light, and makes the phone look fantastic, but it does have its disadvantages as well. For starters, despite the glass panel being of the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 variety, a hard enough fall will cause some damage. Secondly, the glass backing is a big fingerprint magnet, which takes away from the great look of the device.
The iPhone 6s Plus is significantly heavier than the Galaxy S7 Edge, with weights of grams and grams respectively. The power button is on the right side on both devices, but while it is placed within easy reach at the middle in the case of the Samsung device, it sits pretty high up on the iPhone, making it quite uncomfortable to get to.
The volume rockers are on the left side, but with the iPhone, you also get a very useful hardware toggle that lets you quickly and easily silence the phone. We may have different build materials on show here, but both Apple and Samsung have managed to design a couple of beautiful and premium smartphones. Of course, aesthetics comes down to personal preference, so it is up to you as to which look you prefer more.
Which flagship phone is best for you? Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 6S. © Digital Spy. By Luke Johnson. 16 September PM. It's a battle of Professor X vs Magneto proportions. Like the Starks vs the Baratheons, or Kanye West vs his ego, Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone.
However, it has to be said that when it comes to ease of use and the overall handling experience, the Galaxy S7 Edge does have the leg up over its Apple competition. The Galaxy S7 Edge comes with a 5. The display of the Galaxy S7 Edge is admittedly sharper and clearer, but the real differences between the two can be seen courtesy of their contrasting underlying technologies.
The colors are a lot more vibrant on the Galaxy S7 Edge display when compared to the iPhone 6s Plus, but you do have an option to tone it down in the Settings menu for a more natural color reproduction. As mentioned, the display of the iPhone 6s Plus definitely allows for a good viewing experience, but when comparing two, I do prefer the extra sharpness, more vibrant colors, and overall nicer image that is possible with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. When it comes to real world everyday performance, both seem as fast as the other.
When opening applications, the Galaxy S7 Edge is a touch quicker, but as far as loading games is concerned, the iPhone 6s Plus is faster by quite a margin.
While gaming, frame rates are great with both devices, which is particularly impressive in the case of the Samsung phone, given that it has a lot more pixels to push. In hardware, both smartphones come with fingerprint scanners in a similar implementation, embedded into the physical home button up front. While this is great for unlocking the device when placed on a flat surface, some may prefer the rear placement of the scanner seen with other competing smartphones.
Both scanners are fast and accurate, and while the Galaxy S7 Edge requires a slightly longer press to unlock the device, the faster iPhone falls behind because of the slower unlocking animations. The bottom of both devices look quite similar, with both coming with a single speaker unit on the right side, along with the charging port at the center.
You get a microUSB port with the Samsung device, while the iPhone comes with a lightning port, which has an advantage over the former, with the charging cable being reversible. The speaker of the iPhone 6s Plus is also better, with it being louder, clearer, and offering a lot more bass. However, the placement of the speakers are not ideal, and are easy to cover up when holding the phones in the landscape orientation.
