Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 6S

2. Water Resistant - The Galaxy S7 is also IP68 certified which means it can survive accidental water exposure without harming the electronics inside. This feature is an advantage over the iPhone 6S which does not provide any guarantees for water or liquid exposure.
3. Screen Display - The factor of Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6S display is also an important aspect for consumer purchases since the former provides larger screen display for optimum video playback. Galaxy S7 sports a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display while the iPhone 6S only manages a 4.1 inch IPS LCD screen.
4. Processor Power - Samsung's Galaxy S7 model has more processing power with its octa-core processor that can do a lot more compared to iPhone 6S' dual core.
5. Image Quality - Lastly, the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6S camera quality also has ignited a big debate as to which one is better. Interestingly, the galaxy S7 has a lot more to offer with its aperture f/1.7 compared to iPhone 6S f/2.2 giving which is an advantage in capturing clear and sharp photos in low light situations.
