cAMERA

in both the rear camera now has 12 megapixels (the iPhone rose from 8 to 12 and Samsung dropped from 18 to 12 ). This does not mean that Samsung worse.

To make the change, Samsung took the dimension of 4 × 3 iPhone, putting aside the widescreen format that using and producing images so elongated that one had to reduce to 4 × 3 anyway. In practice, the reduction of 6 megapixels offset this deficit and improves image.

The front cameras have both 5 megapixels since Apple improved the resolution of the iPhone in the middle of last year. Apple allowed the same screen use a flash for selfies and Samsung is doing the same with the S7.

Samsung promises to improve distance shots in low light, incorporating techniques SLRs, though this step will require a lot of experimentation. In last year’s models Samsung cameras tended to produce brighter than the iPhone shots. But also more distortions when the image is enlarged. It remains to be seen if it has been corrected in S7.

SIZE

Galaxy S7 Samsung is nearly 13 centimeters (5.1 inches) and is slightly larger and heavier than iPhone 6 (12 cm or 4.7 inches), but not much.

Apple and Samsung allow unlock the device with fingerprints, without a security code. And both can make payments with a touch on some business.

SHORTCUTS

The latest models of iPhone and S7 Edge have shortcuts to a number of functions, including selfies. With the iPhone you have to press a hard icon. With the Edge you can slide your finger along the right side and access to holders, contacts and favorite applications is achieved.

Apple allows outsiders create your own shortcuts, Samsung not.

dISPLAY

One of the differences that persist screen technology. While the iPhone and most other phones use LCD screens, Samsung uses AMOLED , which has more vivid colors, although sometimes appear unnatural. Individual pixels produce their own light, without wasting energy. LCDs require energy to light when it is dark.

In practice, the S7 Samsung always shows the time, notifications and other things being “off” or locked.

in this field, Samsung will take advantage Apple , but faces competition from other manufacturers such as LG.
