Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus: Full Comparison By sakitech

Hey there, our sake here from sake check it. In today's video we will do a full comparison between the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 versus the iPhone 7 plus. To put things in perspective, the note 8 was released in September 2017, while the iPhone 7 plus in September 2016, so there's certainly a 1-year gap between the two devices, iPhone 7 plus, has a humongous user base and with the release of a Titan such as a note, 8 people naturally start to wonder which one of these phones is better. Questions arise, which one should I get, is the note 8 superior or is the iPhone 7 plus from a year ago, still irrelevant? So in this video, we will do a deep dive by taking a look at every aspect of these two popular smartphones and deliver a crystal clear answer for those who seek it. Let's dive in and start with, the build and design in regard to build iPhone, 7 and the note 8 are both high quality smartphones built with premium materials. Did you take a different approach to their craftsmanship? The iPhone 7 is a full unibody aluminum, build with a sleek and continuous form factor.

The note 8 is crafted out of glass both on the front and rear and surrounded by metal around the edges of the device. So, unquestionably, both phones emanate a premium sensation when you hold them in your hands, but the actual design is a different story. Note 8 looks far superior to the iPhone 7. First and foremost, it retains the signature design element of having dual curved edges, which already produce a magnificent look, and secondly, there is no physical home button on the front which allows a large and tall display to dominate the front. It simply looks stunning.

Now the iPhone 7 by no means is an ugly phone, but it simply cannot compete with the note 7 in terms of beauty. So, although both the note 8 and iPhone 7 have a rich build quality, the Winfred design goes to the note 8, even though there are still some people that might prefer the iPhone 7 over the know date, which is per. We find the fact that the note 8 is more pretty than the iPhone 7 is simply my personal opinion. Now. As for water resistance, the iPhone 7 plus has ip67 great water resistance.

While the note 8 has a higher ip68 grade water resistance again giving the lead to the note 8, as you can actually submerge this phone into water for up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes without any water damage, you can even record videos or take photos underwater if you want it to. As for speakers, the iPhone 7 has two stereo speakers that are louder and produce richer. Sound, then the note each single non-stereo speaker, another thing that might be important to some, but not everybody, is that the note 8 retains the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, of course, the f17 ships with a lightning to 3.5, millimeter adapter. Just in case you want to use an earphone with a 3.5 millimeter jack. So basically, in this category I would have to say that the note 8 emerges as the winner, primarily because of its stunning looks and better water resistance.

Now, let's move on to the processor memory and RAM the iPhone 7 sports, a powerful quad-core a10 fusion processor, with three gigabytes of RAM and can be acquired with 32 gigabytes of storage. Now that's the base model. You can also get 128 gigabytes or 256 gigabytes for a premium. The no-date also sports, a powerful processor. It will either be a quad-core Snapdragon, 835 CPU for US markets or Enos 88-90 five for non-us markets and both variants will come with six gigabytes of RAM.

Note.8 will only be available in a 64 gigabyte storage option, but you can easily add up to 256 gigabytes of extra storage using a micros card, a feature that the iPhone 7 lakhs. This means that adding extra storage to the note 7 is going to be cheaper. You can get a 128 gigabyte card, a micros card for around $50 and just load up on photos, videos and any media if desired. Now, if you take a look at the benchmarks, we cannot deny that both these smartphones have plenty of horsepower to tackle everyday tasks easily and handle heavy-duty tasks. The iPhone 7 can produce a lot of single core power, but the note 8 trails slightly ahead in multi-core scores in this category I'm going to settle on a draw.

Although the note 8 has a micros expansion option, iPhone 7 does have 3 different storage options to choose from for flexibility in storage. Now, let's move on to the dimensions and weight the note: 8 measures, 160 2.5 millimeters in height, seventy-four point: eight millimeters wide and eight point six millimeters thick: it weighs 195 grams, the iPhone 7 plus measures 150, eight point: two meters in height, seventy-seven point: nine millimeters wide and seven point three millimeters thick: it weighs 188 grams, there's a slight difference in measurements, for instance, the iPhone 7 is certainly thinner, but the note 8 is less wide and so on, normally I. Don't care about dimensions, because a few grams of weight difference is nothing but dimensions have become relevant in the sense that how smartphones used the total surface area. In this case, you clearly get a lot more screen with the note 8, then the iPhone 7, despite the fact that they both have a similar footprint. This also brings me to the display.

So, let's talk about the display. Both displays are stunning. The technology behind the iPhone, 7 and note H display have received laudatory reviews from experts at display mate comm. However, the note 8 has some clear advantages. Let's look at the specs, the note 8, which has just about the same footprint as the iPhone 7 plus, has a large and tall 6.3 inch display that comes with a quad HD plus resolution and 529 pixels per inch. --Is.

The screen to body ratio is approximately 84%. The iPhone 7 plus has a 5.5 inch display comes with Full HD resolution and 401 pixels per inch. --Is. The screen to body ratio is approximately 67%, so the note 8 has a larger screen and a sharper display. This may not matter if you're just browsing the web, checking your email or reading a book, but when you start watching high-definition movies, zooming into photos and so on, you will see a clear difference in how much more detail you get to see on the note eight delivered with vivid and vibrant colors Note 8 also has a much brighter display producing a peak brightness of 1200 nits, while the iPhone 7 plus trails behind at 7:00 or 5 minutes of peak brightness.

That's a big difference, making the note 8 much easier to see in high ambient lighting conditions, such as under direct sunlight and I, do have to emphasize that the note 8 has a larger screen despite having similar dimensions to the iPhone 7. This is quite a feat to achieve and a great benefit, because extra screen real estate is always welcome and another thing that the note 8 has is HD art capabilities that the iPhone 7 doesn't, so the winner in this category just has to go to the note 8 anyway. Let's move on to the software a very important category, let's start with the basics. The note 8 runs on the latest version of Android, while the iPhone 7 runs on the latest version of iOS, when comparing iOS and Android, it is hard not to overlook two big differences. Number one is customization.

Android system is a much more open-ended environment and allows for extensive customization via visits, themes and home screen. Tweaking you can tweak an Android smartphone to fit your personal sense of style. Io's. On the other hand, when it comes to home screens, is just a static grid of app icons, with very basic customization capabilities such as being able to change your wallpaper. On the other hand, iOS does offer some more polished, apps and a greater gaming experience just about every game on the iPhone 7, including graphically demanding games, will run at maximum performance with smooth and lag free, gameplay.

Unfortunately, a feat note, 8 won't be able to match. Additionally, the Apple App Store does yield a larger number of quality apps as opposed to the Google Play Store. So if you care about apps and games and how well they perform, this is certainly something to pay very close attention to. Beyond those two differences. Note 8 is certainly more productive and feature-rich in the software Department.

It allows for a split-screen multitasking, which means you can run two windows side-by-side at the same time and the larger display on the note, 8 enhances behold. Multitasking experience notate also comes with a unique s-pen for which the iPhone 7 has no answer. S Pen allows for screen navigation, precise note-taking, precise sketching, if that's your thing and also S Pen adds extra software functionality to your smartphone in the form of air command, which is full of rich and deep features, but too long to cover in this video. As for voice assistance, the note it comes with Google Assistant and Bixby, while the iPhone 7 offers Siri Google Assistant all by itself, is still better than Siri, because it is built upon the vast database of Google. It knows very well what you're, asking of it and delivers precise results quickly, whether you're asking for directions or requesting information.

On top of that note, 8 also has Bigamy, which allows you to control your smartphone just by using voice commands. This total voice command package is superior to Siri. So it is clear from everything that I mentioned, that the note 8 is more customizable feature rich and productive. Overall, however, where Apple wins is the app ecosystem, like I said, the Apple app store will offer superb gaming experience and provide more polished and quality apps in comparison to the Google Play Store for AB driven people. This might be important enough to stick with Apple, but otherwise.

Note 8 has a good amount of lead in a rich software experience. Now, let's talk about the camera. Let's quickly get the numbers out of the way the note 8 sports, a dual camera system, just like the iPhone 7, it has a primary optically, stabilized 12 megapixel camera with an aperture of f11 7 and a secondary optically stabilized telephoto camera also with 12 megapixels and an aperture of f/4, the iPhone 7 plus is similarly equipped. It also has a dual camera system: it has a primary optically, stabilized 12 megapixel camera with an aperture of f-18 and a secondary 12 megapixel telephoto camera with an aperture of 2.8. However, the secondary camera is not optically stabilized.

The primary reason for those secondary telephoto cameras is to give you 2 times, optical zoom and the both so which camera is better. It's hard to say the boat, take razor sharp photos in daytime and have great low-light performance, meaning you can take photos at nighttime and actually get a clean photo without too much noise. If you're an average consumer which most people are, you will be satisfied with either one of these cameras. But if you're not- and you like to pay special attention to detail, you will notice that the note 8 has a slightly better camera, especially when it comes to low-light photography. The Lord 8 does have dual optical image stabilization, which gives it a lead overall.

What about the video recording? Both phones can record in 4k at 30 frames per second 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per second with the iPhone. You can also record slow-motion videos at 1080p at 120 frames per second. These are all great options to have on the front. We have a 7 megapixel camera for the iPhone 7 and 8 megapixels. For the note 8.

They both do an amazing job of capturing selfies or videoconferencing. So, what's the story with the camera, let me repeat: if you're an average consumer and most people are you'll, be satisfied with either one of these cameras because they take fantastic photos, then all it does have a slight edge, but it's not big enough for me to recommend one over the other. These are both world-class smartphone cameras. Let's move on to the battery I will tell you right off the bat that the iPhone 7 plus has a slightly longer battery life after a full charge. It will give you a couple of hours of extra life in comparison to the note 8.

However, the note 8 gives you more battery charging options. It has wired fast charging as well as wireless fast charging. As an example. Consider this it takes the iPhone 7, plus almost three hours to fully charge wired, while the note 8 is ready to roll within 1 hours and 40 minutes with fast wired charging, so the iPhone 7 leads in overall battery life, but the note 8 gives you more and faster options to recharge and next up. Let's talk about the biometrics and security in regard to biometrics that note 8 gives you more choices to unlock your phone than the iPhone 7.

It has a fingerprint sensor, an iris scanner and a facial recognition tool. The iPhone 7 only has a fingerprint sensor, I'm, not a fan of the fingerprint sensor placement on the rear of the note 8, because I use it all the time and I really do prefer it on the front of a smartphone, so that I can unlock the phone even when it is lay flat on the table without having to pick it up. Additionally, fingerprint sensor is more than just for unlocking our smartphones. It can be used to purchase apps use, Apple Pay or Samsung pay sign in to fingerprint enabled apps and more so, in my opinion, is more convenient to have it in the forefront for easier access again, that is just a personal choice of mine, but as far as actual biometric security options are concerned, the note 8 has a bit of a lead alright. So let's move on to a conclusion.

First, category effort category, the note 8 seems to have a lead. It has a sharper quad HD plus display a larger screen than the iPhone 7. Despite having a similar footprint, a much more impressive design, the power of the s-pen fancy features such as the iris scanner, more battery charging options and better water resistance capabilities. It also runs on Android, so you get to customize your phone to your heart's desire. iPhone 7 is a different product.

It is a smooth, stable operating system that runs as fluid as a phone can. It has no customization properties, but it has a powerful, app ecosystem. Anyone who is hungry for apps or superb games above anything else, would be better off with the iPhone 7 plus. But at this point it's hard for me to recommend the iPhone 7 over the note 8 to someone who is trying to decide between the two year after year, I've been saying: choose the one that fits you best by putting special emphasis on the software. But the note 8 simply feels like a technological marvel, so I'm compelled to say that if you really are thinking of making a decision between these two smartphones, Samsung will in fact satisfy your hunger for a more technologically advanced smartphone, which is also capable of virtual reality.

So there you have it get the note 8 the real rival that will have a greater chance to compete with the note 8 is the next iPhone alright.
