  • IP68 rating

Just like in our previous comparison of their smaller variants, there are aspects (like processor, front and rear cameras) that are subjective and would be needed to test in real-life usage, the Galaxy S7 Edge proved to have beefier specs than the iPhone 6S Plus when it comes to components alone. Through this comparison, we also see that this 2016 flagship now has more bells-and-whistles to offer its users compared to the 2015 flagship from Apple.

Stay tuned to see how well the Galaxy S7 Edge would perform when we get ourselves a unit to review.
