I'm not disputing that the s7 is a great device, but wether it is better than the 6s is subjective and down to personal preference. If u like the fluidity, speed and simplicity of iOS then u have no other choice then iPhone. If u like the functionality and freedom of android then u not only have to pick the s7, there are lots of top notch android phones out there. Don't forget iPhones have better security.

As for the Google photos, iCloud does the same thing. And if u don't like iCloud ( I see no reason why u shouldn't), u can always download Google photos forum the app store. Google apps are great but all Google apps are also available on the app store.

As for the keyboard, maybe u don't know Swiftkey already exist for iOS devics and swiping works flawlessly.
Honestly no point arguing anymore cos Mr A's choice may not suit Mr B.
If you prefer iPhone enjoy it and if you prefer Sammy enjoy it also.
I was enjoying the other techie development discussion already.

I will be switching to iPhone. I don't think I can wait till next year ooo cheesy

My finger is already itching to use the sexiest phone on the planet grin

In fact Sept. 7 should come quick and let me see what iPhone 7 will bring.

I'm reading rumors that the iPhone 7 will come without headphone jack, do you guys think such phone will sell in Nigeria?
I'm honestly waiting too to see the change the next iphone brings along and if it's worth switching to iOS as for the Note 7 it's a fail for whoever wants to upgrade from S7.

This phone companies know exactly what to do but they won't they just want to keep fooling the customers I mean we can actually have a phone with 10000mah if they wish but no time never reach to release am cheesy.

Why do I need to buy a 200k phone only to end up rooting it in other to get the best out of it... What sense does that make? I could be better off buying a 50k phone if I want to root and tweak. As for the cell standby... I can't imagine having my phone on 2g... I'm always on 3g when I'm not using WiFi, and when on WiFi the 3g is supposed to be inactive (that is how it works on the iPhone) until WiFi is no longer available... That is smart. Lord have mercy when using ntel and turn on LTE.. Then the battery starts draining like a stopwatch especially when the network is not stable.

I believe the reason we buy expensive phones is to have rest of mind... Something that works out of the box.
Bro don't misinterpret the word "high-end" for perfection.
I can buy an iPhone 6s plus for over 200k it's only a high-end phone not a perfect phone if I can't use Bluetooth to receive files from other OS, it is only high-end not perfect if I can't make use of memory cards and download apps without going through app store.

Like I've said rooting a high-end phone doesn't mean it doesn't give you the expected satisfaction it only means the phone can even do further but these phone companies will intentional limit it. Same goes with your iPhone.

In summary there is no perfect phone out of the box. Since Samsung released new features on Note 7 which was missing in s7 edge I simply ported those features to the S7 and can only be possible through root.

My point exactly. If you want to tweak get an MTK China phone. That's what they are meant for. Tweaking with A premium phone like S7 is foolishness. No pun intended.
It would have been better asking what tweaks are made cheesy and what benefits could it add to a premium phone like S7 edge.

Like I said earlier if you use your phones for normal activities like music, games, calls, sms and photos then no point getting Samsung just stick with iPhone and you are fine but you wouldn't won't to get stuck with one laptop, you can't receive files through Bluetooth, apps are always through the app store and if you mistakenly sync with another laptop your apps are gone.
Even as sophisticated as you think the iPhone 6s plus is I believe you can still see the reason to jailbreak.

Galaxy s6 and the screen is the culprit of the battery hog, followed by cell standby. My screen is always on around 40% which is not too much.
Screen usage could be 40% or more or lesser it only tells you how long of have been active on the phone that means screen on time.

Click on the screen menu under the battery stat and you will see how long you've had your screen on as for the cell standby the drainage depends on how far you are from a signal mast that's the reception it is always advisable to put your phone in 3g only or 2g only else you will end up having more battery drain from cell standby.
Mine is on 2g only since I'm mostly on wifi and it uses lesser battery all night long.

Lastly what could be draining your battery is wakelocks which is not visible understand battery usage. Your screen could be off but the phone is awake and draining battery..... If you are rooted you could get it sorted out and enjoy a better battery life.

How were u able to arrive at such conclusion? Because you saw 8% power left? Do you know how many hours of usage he got before that? Well you cannot judge based on what you are seeing there. Obviously that is an iPhone but i cannot say which it is.
I was referring to his android battery screenshot which he couldn't read but I can tell you his battery is horrible from what I can see that's why I wanted to know the phone he is using.

Greenhulk thumbs up mahn, nice analysis.. This dude simply do not know you are arguing from experience, while he is being a fan boy, because according to him, the 6s didn't give him room for his tweakings, reason why he optted for the s7 , which he currently uses and bliv me he will do anything to defend that s7...


Sadly to say this their are even some tecno and gioner phones that smokes the samsung s7 battery life..

On paper the s7 battery is higher than the 6s, honestly if an iphone 6s and s7 is used side by side for the same thing for a 8hrs straight, the iphone would go off first, but on a normal day to day use of smartphones, this is where the iphone wins the s7 in batterylife, because the battery won't just discharge if you don't tell it to discharge, the samsung battery would keep on discharging on its own, not that it discharges heavily though but it keeps going down... So if an iphone 6s is charged fully for a day and an s7 is charged fully for a day and given to two users of almost the same intense, before the day gets to an end the s7 would be needing a charge while the iphone 6s would still have up to 30% left... This is what iphone greatly optimizing standby means...
Sorry bro you call someone who can't read battery usage statistics an experienced user? You think battery drains automatically without a cause?

Well I've created on this forum how to get the best out of your Android phone battery so don't think it is all about Sammy.
I've used from iPhone 3 down to 6s plus likewise from galaxy s2 down to S7 Edge. Talking about experience? I will only debate with tumababa who I've once met and I know his wealth of experience about iphones colly227 is my former ID and I have been on this forum since 2005 so I know the right people with experience here grin........ You can imagine someone who claims he knows about iPhone asking if it uses VPN cheesy.

I'm sorry but I won't debate about phones with you until you use S7 edge only then can I sit you down and lecture you for free.

Actually I do not trust these battery statistics because it only counts when u have a full charge. That means when u top up ur phone let's say from 40-80% it won't reset the counter unless u charge to 100%. For example, I just unplugged my phone about 10 mins ago after charging from 30-83% and it is telling me I have used almost 2 hours on battery huhhuh Wtf.

However, I get up to 7 hours usage time on my iPhone with over 25hrs standby time with WiFi connected. That is something a Samsung Phone would struggle to attain.
Which phone are you using? You have a horrible battery life from what I can see and you seems not to have a clue what is draining your battery.
I use wifi 24hours of the day and I go all day so figure out what is causing you the battery hog I can help you if you wish.

There's no iPhone 6s plus on that list.

Secondly, Samsung phones have a way of having good battery when bought new, but after a few months the battery becomes terrible. I've had first class experience and I k of what I'm saying. Iphones on the other hand maintain their normal battery life for at least one year before u start experiencing a drop in battery performance.

Having galaxy s6 at the top in ur picture is a joke. After like 3 months of use that thing cannot survive 3 hours of screen on time. Google it, search youtube and u will find out galaxy s6 is one of the phones with worst battery life.
I don't I now your experience about phones but let me explain what you likely don't know.

Most Samsung phones comes out of the box with moderate battery life you tend to get a far better battery life after a few cycle of charges. A cycle means draining your battery and giving a full charge.

Now this is the confusing part a site like phonearena and others will run their test as soon as the phone comes out they don't have the patience to go through a few cycle of charges because they want to be the first to break the news. Go on that site and you will see they have already given test on Note 7 lol.

Now when a user buys this phone and go through a cycle of charges they end up getting a far better battery life then leave a contrary review based on their day to day experience.

On the other hand Iphones comes out with best batter life out of the box. These are phones with different OS and architectural designs.

I don't know if this makes any sense to you and if you wish I can post my standby time of my phone by taking a screenshot you will be surprised I go the whole day on heavy user and still have about 40% left by 9pm.
My screen on time will tell you how long I made use of the phone.

Bro no cause for alarm anyone can pay you to do a review the best way to go always is reading day to day user experience online. You see their reviews not those sites that test a phone and zoom to the next one I'm talking about user experience

There's no need to argue this. Yes the link is from brg.com but they stated that the test was carried out by phone arena. Oya post me ur own proofs that galaxy s7 edge has a better battery than iPhone 6s plus. I've used different Samsung phones, they suck at standby time. Out of the box iPhone 6s has better battery, don't even near the 6s plus.
This is exactly from phonearena before Galaxy s7 edge was launched look and you can see the link.

I will always tell people if you want to buy a phone don't follow those pictures rather read review from users experience you will see comments online afterwards you decide.

I hope that gives you a clue.

The hardest decision anybody can ever make is choosing between the iPhone 6S and Galaxy S7 edge. Honestly these two devices were created to give us headaches grin


Both are superb phones but bros what do u mean by virtual reality on the S7?

That S7 na beast sha. The kind specs wey sammy pack inside no be here! I seriously hope Apple will match up the competition with the iPhone 7.

But why will you buy an expensive phone like S7 for tweaking? If u want to tweak there are so many cheap Android phones out there for that purpose.

And why will u buy iPhone of close to 300k and still jailbreak it? That's insane!!!
Why would the most beautiful woman in the world use make up?
Why would people customize Lamborghini Veron?
Why would Mr Universe gym for six packs grin grin

Bros tweaking is just to customize to your personal taste, take out what you don't need in fact wipe the OS empty and put in just what is useful to you.

As for the virtual reality it simply exclusive to Samsung Galaxy high end phones. Just like your 3D TV experience but this is quit different as you can view an object 360° and you can interact with it. You get the Samsung Gear VR then slot your phone into it next wear it like a glass and you are in another world.
Right in your room you could decide to go skydiving, go watch a match at a stadium, go for a concert or a show........ The difference is that you aren't just watching on a screen you are right there that's how realistic it is.

IPhone 6s plus has 2,750mah battery and it is one of the phones with the best battery life. One thing iphones have I'd good standby time which Samsung phones suffer from. U can go to sleep at 10pm with 100% battery and wake up 6am with 100%. If that was a Samsung u would wake up with like 94% or less. And yes iPhone 6s plus has better battery than most androids with 4,000mah battery.
Bros please which android 4000mah battery are you talking about? I hope you aren't comparing techno phones here because the 3600mah on S7 edge outperforms the 6s plus.

We all know how bogus and battery hungry android apps are but then it comes with the freedom to debloating and tweaking to your taste and you will be amazed at your battery life.

yes you can, because Apple has a very neat and great way of handling battery in standby mode, i was watching a YouTube comparrison between the samsung s7, iphone 6s , 6 and 5s , their battery were all on 100%, when he finished the comparrison, the iphone 6s was still on 100, the 6 was also still on 100, the 5s was on 98, the samsung s7 was on 94%..

Thats just how it is, although battery mah do matter but i use the 6s , and bro honestly i am a very heavy user and when i use my phone very very heavily, it gets me from 7am to around 3pm in the afternoon, it will be on 25% and i will require a boost to the battery again which takes me till midnight.. Thats when i am using it heavily..

But on light use, thats when i go to work and just slightly bring out my phone every once in a while to browse at intervals, around 6pm in the evening when i close my office, i still have up to 86% battery life left, because the standby implementation of ios is simply superb..
Well I wonder 6s you are using cos I used one before switching to S7 edge and I can tell you 6s doesn't have a better standby time.
I don't know if you've used the S7 edge the OP talked about or you are Comparing with the S7 which has a lesser Mah.
PhonesRe: iPhone 6S: Honest Review by Phonefanatic: 12:12am On Aug 22, 2016
I think I can't emphasize more than what has been said there about the iPhone 6s I've used it but sold it 3 days later why? You just have a solid phone you can't tweak to your taste.

Mind you I was coming from Note 5 after selling the iPhone 6s I got Galaxy S7 edge....let me summarize it in one sentence "End of discussion"
From freedom of tweaking to custom roms down to dust and water resistance I actually went swimming with it the second day grin grin. Then if you ever dive into the world of virtual reality which is an amazing feature you could actually take a tour to your favorite destination, go skydiving or mountain climbing..... This isn't like a movie you watch on the TV it actually feels like you are right there you can interact with object..... Adrenaline rush when someone points a gun at you.

As for battery I took out some bloatwares.... I'm a heavy user if I leave the house by 7am with 100% battery I come back around 6pm with about 60% battery so you can comfortably go the whole day with a full charge.

Camera? It has an edge over iPhone 6s that's understandable cos it was released this year.

You can actually slot in 256GB memory card if you so wish.
Dual Sim option if you so wish.

Lastly head to Galaxy s7 edge palace on XDA forums you could yet discover the feats the monster phone could achieve.

My last words.
If you are not interested in tweaks, customization and freedom that comes with Android please get IPhone 6s you won't regret it besides the restrictions. on the contrary bros galaxy S7 edge is a joy to behold.

You no nothing about national development. The whole money that was looted from this country and sent to those foreign banks you think the government over there don't know it's stolen funds?
They are all aware but would allow you purchase properties with this funds which will eventually be forfeited at some point.

I was once scammed $800 by an American which I reported to their police providing the name and address of the scammer and till date nothing happened. America don't give a fvck what you think as long as it doesn't affect their country negatively.

Our major problem is the government officials who loot massively just to go invest in those countries and as long as it develops those countries they are not interested in what you think. My advice to people is mind your business.
