Gotta be in it to win it
It was my opinion just as yours is one
Sure.


What do you mean?If you dont like Google,go for Microsoft's apps. You need third party apps even on iOS as unless you download a third party app,your iPhone or iPad will only sync with each other not with a real productive computer
My Microsoft apps sync across the board. Not sure where your information comes from.


Why should I download Firefox when Chrome comes preinstalled on Android?Out of the box, my Nexus syncs with Windows.I dont need third party software
YOU don't have to do anything, I've done it and now bookmarks sync across windows.

On Android,not only can I sync them with all Androids but also my Windows PC
Same here.

What exchange? Notes app isnt present on Windows. You need Google keep or Evernote
Microsoft, been doing it for years.

I did.Didnt work. It needs WiFi to work. Android devices dont need WiFi
Sync over Bluetooth works also.

Why should I download an app when Docs comes preinstalled on my Android and I can simply use the Web app on Windows
I feel the same about google voice, whynget a phone number when the functionality is native to iOS.

Ah thats a new one. I would love to hear how you can download file formats iOS cant open. Hint- You cant
Hint, you're wrong. :)

And Androids are also getting updates through the Play services API and the Play Store
Every android, every model?

My iPhone 6 was flawless on IOS 8.4.1
Mine wasn't.
[doublepost=1485788777][/doublepost]
Thats YOUR experience.Not mine nor Anandtechs.
Wait is the ianandtech who you have disparaged in the past as being biased? All of a sudden when it comes to the note 7 they are not?:rolleyes:

But Samsung's phones also support fast charging while iPhones dont so it evens out for meEQ
MOving goalposts?


Doesnt really matter as Samsung made that screen and the S8 will be out soon and get that position back
Until the iPhone 8.[/QUOTE]

Back to the point.You resorted to third party apps to sync your devices. That makes iOS the same as Android as regards ecosystem integration is concerned except Android does it better



YOU don't have to do anything, I've done it and now bookmarks sync across windows.
Just as you find making a Google voice account bothersome,I find making a firefox account , downloading the browser on Windows and once again setting it on there tiresome


Same here.
You recieve missed call notifications on windows?iMessage notifications?Texts?


Microsoft, been doing it for years.
Lets try this again. Please tell me how do I view all the Notes in the notes app on my iPhone on Windows without opening the browser


Sync over Bluetooth works also.
Do you even use Windows? You cant transfer files using BT from laptop to phone because it wont connect in the first place.I just tried connecting to my XPS and it didnt work

I feel the same about google voice, whynget a phone number when the functionality is native to iOS.
Thanks for proving Android and iOS are same as regards integration


Hint, you're wrong. :)

This happened on iOS when I tried to download an unrecognized file format

IR4C0xx.jpg



This happened on Android

Pretty self explanatory





Every android, every model?
Yes.Every Android right since 4.0 in 2011

Thats more evidence that even in biased reviews,the Samsung is still up there.Displaymate is all I really need though


MOving goalposts?
Without fast charging,a 7 Plus takes 2.5 hours to fully charge by which the Samsung is charged at least 2 times over. The 7 Plus lasts longer but charges slower.The S6 doesnt last as long but races ahead in charging



Until the iPhone 8.

Nope iOS sync data from third party apps. There's a difference.

Just as you find making a Google voice account bothersome,I find making a firefox account , downloading the browser on Windows and once again setting it on there tiresome
If I had the requirement to do that, I can do it. However video chat and text and syncing across devices is native to iOS.

You recieve missed call notifications on windows?iMessage notifications?Texts?
What's the use case for that?my Apple Watch handles it much more elegantly than android.

I am going to ask for prove for that broad statement. I can back up mine.

Seems to me displaymate++ is needed to combat the hyperbole.

Without fast charging,a 7 Plus takes 3 hours to fully charge by which the Samsung is charged at least 2 times over. The 7 Plus lasts longer but charges slower.The S6 doesnt last as long but races ahead in charging

Your indifference towards battery life charging times is astonishing. Quick charge is great for users because they can get more battery out of a small charge. Plus, Apple products use an outdated Lightning standard. Compare that to the Dash Charging OP uses? Night and day.

We get it that Apple meets your needs better, but can you be a bit more objective? Apple is behind on tech and that's a fact. For its one advantage with mobile processing, there are numerous areas it needs to catchup on: no Intel modems, AMOLED tech, quick charge, better LTE radios just to name a few. Apple also has issues like Touch Disease and wants to nickel and dime customers to pay for their negligence. Not one product is supreme king over another, but this is the "Alternative to iOS and iOS Devices" sub-forum.

I just highlighted a basic economic principle: more bang for your buck. If I cannot access a file system properly or theme my phone, then it's lacking some software features. You have to change file extensions just to get ringtones off your own MP3s. I didn't say Android is the best OS ever. I just said it is more economical and provides better value.

It's astonishing my difference toward battery life charging? Outdated lightning standard? Please stop with the hyperbole.

We get it the sometimes a comparison is made as to who likes what better based on a spec sheet. Touch disease, note 7 exploding? What has that to do with anything related to the topic.

If you want objectivity you have to look beyond the spec sheet and recognize people have different requirements.

Incenyoy said "objectively" instead of "subjectively" the race was on. IMO goes a long way for a discussion rather than stating this as a fact.

I was laughing about those comments about battery life and out dated lightning standard. LOL! Definitely not outdated when its just as compatible as USB-C is.

Indifference is what I said. It is outdated. USB Type C is the standard. Then why is Lightning so slow charging wise? Dash charging obliterates it. I am saying you're being subjective because of your favoritism towards Apple. Then I pointed out flaws with Apple. What the heck is "incenyoy?

Usb c is not THE standard, it's one of a number of standards. Considering tens and tens of millions of devices have lightning that Is a standard also.

Flaws as you see them not as I see them. That is in no way meant to say there isn't room for improvement.

"Incenyoy" I think I meant to write instead of.

Why are arguing things that the S7 Edge won so long ago?

Battery life

c75736c38de089aab3d3d46f826355d6.jpg


Dxomark already rated the S7 and S7 Edge camera better than iPhone 7.

Displaymate already awarded Best Performing Display in a Smartphone to Galaxy S7 Edge.

End of story.

Now back to the topic, the above plus many other limitations stop me from getting an iPhone, if I got an iPhone tomorrow e.g. a 7 Plus 256GB, I'd have to Jailbreak it and get a whole lot of mods and apps to make it as useful as my S7 Edge is out the box.

The 32GB plus 128GB Micro SD is very useful to me thank you very much.

32GB is for apps and games and my memory cards handle all the Media from Pics, Video, Movies, Documents etc... Very useful, and when I get my next Android I'll just pop it in there.

Thank you.
Cheers. :)

Agreed. An SD card is so valuable these days. I need to get another phone with one ASAP. I want Apple to rebound though because they can't just focus on margins because we get Touch Bar MacBooks as a result.

Yes and no. It isn't outdated, it is Apples proprietary cable. USB-C didn't become the standard till late last year. Apple phones charge much faster with an iPad charger. Its limited with the small chargers they give you.

That test is flawed because it doesn't take into account standby time which the iPhone kills all phones on and is the reason it has a much longer lasting battery. It never drops hardly any % just idling there. I own both and my S7 Edge can't touch my iPhone 7 plus and I barely use my s7 edge during the day while I use my iPhone 7 plus way more as its my personal one vs my Work phone as I am at work.

Again, not end of story because you are wrong. DXOMARK never tested the iPhone 7 plus camera, only the 7. The 7 plus has a better camera due to the dual lens. CNET review also proved it took better more accurate colors in pictures between both cameras which I have seen in my own experience.

I can do a lot on my iPhone that doesn't require any such thing as a jailbreak out of the box. You are nitpicking for no reason.

32gb that you can't store apps on a sdcard will run out very fast. Samsung doesn't allow that. I have run out of space on my s7 edge due to this and it sucks!

This thread is about why some users prefer android and don't want to use iOS.

Even if it is true that iOS has better OS update support, better colour accuracy, better camera effects, or better sync with Apple ecosystem, it doesn't matter because those aren't killer features and are very low on importance for many people.

I don't get why some people are trying to use this thread to prove iPhones are better. This thread isn't about which is better. So much off topic arguing.

No, that is the common experience with normal use. If you run a video with display on the whole time, yes the S7 shows its power savings with its display technology. But the iPhone has the best (forget what its called) idle than any phone where it may lose only 1% over night vs the S7 Edge where it drops a lot when not using it. It is a fact the iPhone kills any android in normal use due to that not just continuous video playback.
I will post the proof of my 7 Plus later tonight but its not 1% per night that's for sure. If I am on 98% when I sleep and when I wake up 8 hours later its on 89%. When its on 50% its 43% overnight.Android is slightly worse but I am not getting the magical 1%-2% standby battery loss everyone keeps talking about . My iPad is the only device which drops 1% overnight

And standby life can actually be the most unimportant factor for people like me. I use my phone a lot during the day and when being used a lot the benches show the S7 slighty beats the iPhone . So if your priority is standby life get the iPhone . If your priority is to get a lot of work done with moderate to heavy usage get the S7. Every review I read shows the S7 beating the iPhone in normal use


Nope iOS sync data from third party apps. There's a difference.
So does Android? I am not getting what you mean by this

If I had the requirement to do that, I can do it. However video chat and text and syncing across devices is native to iOS.

Your native functionality is useless without a Mac. If I actually want to get collaborative work done and we need group conferencing and the other guy uses Windows which is basically 90%'of the time, the functionality falls flat and I gotta use Skype


What's the use case for that?my Apple Watch handles it much more elegantly than android.

So does Android Wear. But that's not the point. Why should I spend $400 on an AW when Android gives me the functionality right on the desktop which is where I work on throughout the day? Your Apple watch is still less elegant because when I am working on my notebook or desktop I don't have to look down and stare at my watch when the notification itself pops up on the screen where I am working



My exchange account.
I don't have one . And its not easy to get one I am guessing.


So in that vein do you even use iOS?

More than you claim to because the one way to successfully transfer files to a computer is through Airdrop which is only possible with a Mac


Exceptnwhere iOS has better and more refined features.
I thought I proved the exact opposite



The right approach with the right app works wonders.
Oh so I need to download a ton of different apps for different file formats just to download a file which I will transfer to Windows anyway? And Android only needs a browser to download so out of the box I can download whatever I want. But lets play along. What app on iOS will allow me to download "exe" files?


I am going to ask for prove for that broad statement. I can back up mine.
google-io-2014-47.jpg



Seems to me displaymate++ is needed to combat the hyperbole.
Anandtech backs up what DM says. That's all that's needed to be said

Okay and?

The iPhone and S6 are pretty much equal because one charges faster while the other discharges slower. I can get 7 hours of battery life by a 20 minute charge .


Prove it. Your iPhone 8 has a Samsung display.
First prove the iPhone 8 will be more accurate than Samsung as you were suggesting above

Still not the best display on the planet . Colour accuracy is just one metric. Infinite contrast on the OLED is its trump card. Do you want me to pull out Ive interview where he calls LCD very very old

As far as camera goes both seem equivalent to me . From what I saw the S7 does better in low light

Well in that vein syncing to windows is useless if you use red hat unix. Right?

I don't have to be looking at a screen to see my notifications come in, I can feel the vibration. Discreetly look at my watch to see what came in, it's all very elegant.

Nope there are programs that allow two way transfers through iis. So I can essentially transfer files anywhere in the world through cellular.

No just the most accurate. Both cameras have different qualities except for the dual lens i7, which is not duplicated. I wonder if the s8 will have a dual lens.

LOL! THE GSMArena battery test is the most comprehensive,it DOES take Stand By into account, it tests BOTH heavy usage and Stand By, sorry bud, the iPhone lost fair and square, hard pill to swallow, I understand.
f18cf9e1e02b910c9b672c0a5fb3acf9.jpg


With regards to all else, these are things that you seem to be in the tiny minority about. Displaymate already have it to the S7 Edge no matter your opinion, and same with Dxomark.

I still have plenty of the 32GB left :) for most of us it's not an issue as we put all media in the MicroSD.

Just like Killa was discussing HIS phone


I can't say what other people's priorities are, I can only discuss me and my family. And who is to say "a lot of work " is not subjective.
We are all talking subjective here but many of the benchmarks and reviews are showing the S7 win including Anandtech so my opinion does have a lot of support


Well in that vein syncing to windows is useless if you use red hat unix. Right?

Linux, Ubuntu,MAc are all irrelevant as 15% of users use these OS. Coz after Red Hat why not bring in SteamOS and then chromeOS.Heck lets bring in FreeDOS


I don't have to be looking at a screen to see my notifications come in, I can feel the vibration. Discreetly look at my watch to see what came in, it's all very elegant.
And Android does give you that option. Get an Android Wear

But Android also gives me a free alternative to see my notifications on desktop . And considering the amount of people who even use smart watches the latter is more useful .

Supposing I forget my Watch one day Android has me covered. iOS doesn't


Nope there are programs that allow two way transfers through iis. So I can essentially transfer files anywhere in the world through cellular.
So laptops use cellular now?

And name that program please so I can see whether it really works

Didn't think you did.
I did . Most of your defense so far has been red hat Linux, exchange accounts and downloading different apps for different file formats and paying 400 bucks for a notification centre

All your doing is moving goalposts here.
So I take it you concede. I have successfully proven you cannot download unrecognised file formats on iOS by any means possible


So they're not biased when they prove your point but otherwise they are.:rolleyes:
They are biased one way or another but its telling when a biased site agrees with an unbiased view


You go first.

No just the most accurate. Both cameras have different qualities except for the dual lens i7, which is not duplicated. I wonder if the s8 will have a dual lens.
Well you quoted my post first so the onus is on you

Even if they do, Apple just ripped off their curved edge OLED so I aint complaining again

Although an Android fan, I have never understood how reviewers can state that the S7 for instance can web browse longer than the 6S+/7+. Chrome kills the battery on both my Android devices, whilst Safari sips juice. For all other tasks I would say that Android can last as long, or longer than iOS providing the battery sizes are comparable.....but web browsing no.

Maybe don't use chrome?

I use the default Samsung browser on my phone, I don't really use my tablet for internet apart from streaming.
I use Chrome on my desktop.
Chrome sucks on a phone imo....

Exactly.

The built-in Samsung brwose sips battery to. :)

I always disable Chrome, it's a resource hog.

Use Tuga Browser if you have Snapdragon. Its one of my favourite browsers on Android

Chrome sync isnt working currently because Google removed Chrome Sync API to force users to use Chrome. But XDA should find some workaround soon
