            The Galaxy S7 has a 5.1-inch screen, compared to the 4.7-inch display on the iPhone 6s. The S7 outpaces the iPhone in terms of resolution, at 2650 x 1440 pixels, versus just 1334 x 750 on the iPhone 6s. The S7 Edge also has a resolution advantage, at 2650 x 1440 versus 1920 x 1080 for the iPhone 6s Plus.Mar 10, 2016

            Verdict. The Galaxy S7 is an absolute beast of a smartphone that aces the smartphone holy trinity of design, performance, and camera. As such, it's a more than worthy rival to the iPhone 6S. Samsung's phone features a much better display, a generally more capable processor, twice the memory, and a better camera.Oct 1, 2018
