Anonymous, 12 Mar 2016No in everything S7 still beat iphone7 lol apart from that the 6 month old iPhone 6S has better CPU and GPU performance. Thats before the iPhone 7 even comes out. Now its funny, iPhone users have for years said benchmarks dont matter its about real world performance, whilst Samsung guys were claiming to be the best based on their benchmarks. Funny now that Samsung arent number 1, suddenly the same people say benchmarks dont matter. Im not saying that they do, because they generally dont, but its funny how attitude has changed now that Samsung are not number 1 in benchmarks
Adiyel, 12 Mar 2016LG wasn't lying when they said they feel their always on is better than AMOLED. That endurance... moreWait for the endurance rating of LG G5 before the assumptions...
Terrible battery life. I am happy with my Samsung S4.
Do I need to test the battery by myself for myself?
its worse, but the tests arent in real life, -I have the s7 edge and have 7h SOT over 2days

LG Nexus 5X better photo.
Not a big issue. always on display can be turned off. If we see over all then, the battery life is fine with Exynos Octa, QHD. It depends on people usage. I have seen iphone, samsung, HTC, Sony users who use power bank, charging battery while driving car, plugging in USB charging while sitting on laptop, but all in all, all phones revolve around the same battery life. I use power bank and i never faced issues with battery life. Moreover, I feel that the battery start to die when we update the phone. To sum up, there is nothing like Apple vs samsung vs Lg vs HTC vs Sony vs Xiaomi etc, all phones are great, so whatever you choose, just go for it. Gud luck frds.. Enjoy :)

How can GSM Arena not consider the MS apps as bloatware? It's exactly that. It can't be uninstalled, likely only deactivated, and Sami only put it on the phone for good old money. I always have to look at the ugly icons.
Hope GSMARENA team posts the benchmark results and battery life results for Snapdragon 820 powered variant as well........ I'm hearing that SD820 powered version may have lower battery life.
That said, even the Exynos powered version had lower battery life than I was expecting. Note 5 has a bigger screen and the same 3000 mAH but manages to post better battery life.
Talk time - Note5 - 28:34 , S7 - 22:57
Browsing - Note5 - 10:43 , S7 - 9:34
Video - Note5 - 13:51, S7 - 14:50
Seems battery life is the price you have to pay for the extra performance.
I don't know how the others, but I watch videos more on tablet than on the phone(more like only on tablet). Now I wonder what did they mean better endurance when majority of users use wireless connections, and in this even with bigger battery its same/worse than last year phones with S810/exynos.

AnonD-509761, 12 Mar 2016Agree...iOS is matter of time to became android. If do so then there is no chance to 6s to beat Galaxy S4 in performance. S7 is comparable with iPhone 12.
