          Apple iPhone 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 - User Opinions

            The Galaxy S8 is waterproof and has a fingerprint scanner too, but unlike the iPhone 7, it can be wirelessly charged, unlocked using an iris scanner, and still has a 3.5mm headphone jack too. Better still, base storage starts at 64GB (compared to Apple's 32GB), and there's a Micro SD card slot to boot.Feb 6, 2019
