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.

Chrome doesn't suck battery for me. And why are you trying to compare battery life between the s7 and iPhone plus models? More fair to compare with Samsung's edge or Note models.

When I had a note 7, I was able to regularly get 7 hrs of SoT while using Chrome -> https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/galaxy-note-7.1962717/page-247#post-23737823

Gotta be in it to win it
Just like Killa was discussing HIS phone
Just like discussing the mythical perfect phone and the mythical second tier phone.

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
Many of the benchmarks also show the s7 losing. I guess we could start posting benchmarks again.:rolleyes:

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
They are irrelevant to YOUR use case only.

And Android does give you that option. Get an Android Wear
Why would I want to get android wear. Apple took the smartwatch market by storm. But the point is about notifications and using Windows. Too clunky a solution especially if you run Unix.

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
In the vein of suppose, I could log in to my ipad and get phone calls and messages anywhere with ios 10 functionality.

So laptops use cellular now?
No, but using my app on my iphone, I can communicate with my desktop and transfer files back and forth.

And name that program please so I can see whether it really works
I"ll dig it up.

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
My counterpoints pointed out your own use doesn't work for everybody especially if you are away from your desktop most of the day.

So I take it you concede. I have successfully proven you cannot download unrecognised file formats on iOS by any means possible
No I'm point out you keep moving the goalposts, when the original proposition was "move files", which can be done, now it's down to a very specific use case. So in that vein I guess you concede that IOS can do far more than what you say it can.

They are biased one way or another but its telling when a biased site agrees with an unbiased view
Hyperbole.

Well you quoted my post first so the onus is on you
No you made the first claim.

Even if they do, Apple just ripped off their curved edge OLED so I aint complaining again
Prove it.:cool:

I said if you own Android and want a notification centre on your wrist Android gives you the option.

91% of the world uses Windows.I am one of them.Hence I cant complain about something I get for free.I adore the functionality as do many others considering the millions of users who downloaded the app in the play store and gave it a very high review rating


In the vein of suppose, I could log in to my ipad and get phone calls and messages anywhere with ios 10 functionality.
Why should I carry yet another device when my computer can act as a notification centre?. Most professional work in offices use Windows. Makes sense to use Windows to give me that functionality


No, but using my app on my iphone, I can communicate with my desktop and transfer files back and forth.
Lets stop beating around the bush.Tell me the name of the app

I never said anything about desktops . I am talking notebooks. And we are talking ecosystem integration. Your use case only work with iPhone and iPad. They dont take into account computers on which people work on throughout the day. Android works with every device. iOS doesnt


No I'm point out you keep moving the goalposts, when the original proposition was "move files", which can be done, now it's down to a very specific use case. So in that vein I guess you concede that IOS can do far more than what you say it can.
You are putting words in my mouth.I never said that

Can I download my productivity apps data which is an unrecognized file format for Android or iOS like on Android and later transfer to Windows?

Hyperbole.
Nope. Reinforced a solid fact


No you made the first claim.
I simply said the S8 will reclaim that spot. Which it obviously will as Samsung made that display. Then you quoted me with the iPhone 8. So the onus is on you to prove how the iPhone 8 using OLED will maintain the same accurcay as the current iPhones


Prove it.:cool:

Here is a screen shot I took a while back when I had a busy day and forgot to plug in my phone so I had to use it two days in a row. Obviously when I am at work, I am limited on how much I can use the phone till lunch time, but I used it. My S7 Edge would have been dead by mid morning the next day.



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



So does Android? I am not getting what you mean by this



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




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




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




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



I thought I proved the exact opposite




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?



google-io-2014-47.jpg




Anandtech backs up what DM says. That's all that's needed to be said



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 .



First prove the iPhone 8 will be more accurate than Samsung as you were suggesting above
[doublepost=1485868761][/doublepost]
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

There is still a reason computer displays use IPS LCDs because they are some of the best period. Especially for people working in the photography industry. We know how you are on these forums and you are an iPhone hater. Always will be.

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.

I have a 200gb SD card in my S7 Edge. My 32GB filled up quickly with what APPS I have which isn't hardly any. Again, your screwed because you are limited to only so many apps on that 32gb internal memory where on the iPhone you aren't. And like they said in that GSM test, due to the dual speakers and extra brightness, it obviously drained faster but it was very good overall when not testing a video.

This really isnt that hard to understand. Facetime is inferior to Skype simply because Skype can be installed on Windows which 91% of the world uses. If I am entering into a group conference , Skype assures me that it will be compatible with all devices. If you havent noticed,not every company in the world gets work done on an iPad or iPhone. We use Windows.

Nothing but boilerplate language. Only 2 of your devices work seamlessly while with Android it includes my computer.

FOR YOU,iOS devices get work done. For people like me, its impossible to live without Windows and that includes the factory where iPhones and iPads are made.

Skype is much inferior to FaceTime as it's native and works without a software install. With my Mac, which is better than most windows boxes anyway I can answer FaceTime or incoming phone calls. Much better use case.

Majority of the planet doesnt use Mac. And your Mac will still meet its match with top tier Windows laptops. Its irrelevant whether you can use Facetime. If the other party doesnt have it ,it falls flat.And in company meetings,just like the chart above shows , Windows is standard. Skype would work anytime anywhere.

Not at all screwed :) I've had 32GB internal memory Androids since the Galaxy S3, each of them had a Memory Card where I put all my media while the apps are in Internal.

In my S7 Edge I have 12GB available, and have all the apps&games I need.

Lol, the excuses made for the iPhone 7 Plus don't matter, the fact is it lost in GSMArena's very comprehensive test. A brighter 1080P display is nothing to write home about, the S7 Edge has a bright curved SuperAMOLED 1440P Display, that did better despite having to handle colours like White un Web Browsing which make OLED displays consume more power. That is innovation.

I must say, you had me amused with this comment:
67263e4db927048c3faa1119c7620fc9.jpg


What on earth does that even mean!? Isn't the iPhone known to "just work"!? Now you need a right approach with the right app, LOL!

With Android it's a simple tap of download and boom whatever file I want is there, it, how do I say..... Just works. :)

Here's something you may not know. Not everyone works at a desk with a computer. Having notifications show up on your desktop is not a useful feature for people that don't use a computer for work. Most people keep their phone on them, except for wall huggers that are charging their phones.

I also think it is funny you say you're iPhone lasts forever. Guess what, that's because you aren't using it during the day, you're using your computer at work.

Okay maybe you didn't read. I said my iPhone lasts forever. My S7 Edge isn't used during the day while I am at work since it is my work phone but it still drains faster than my iPhone 7 which i use during the day as my personal phone.

Also when you receive the notifications on your computer you also get them on your phone at the same time. So you can answer whichever one you want.

I meant the Edge model. Browsing with Chrome on an Android device depletes the battery faster than browsing with Safari on iOS.

What "Multiple"? The only relevant chat app apart from iMessage is WhatsApp. And it allows me to communicate with my Android and iPhone buddies.

You will care when your boss or client is on Windows and you don't have it

Only a small subset of the iPhone userbase can use it. The feature might as well not exist for the vast majority

It's definitely reliable if you got the money to spend for it. Sony's HDR OLED TV costs $18000 . No LCD comes close

This was when I left my iPhone 7 Plus before sleeping

This was after I woke up

Certainly not even close to a 1% battery drain overnight

Gotta be in it to win it
What "Multiple"? The only relevant chat app apart from iMessage is WhatsApp. And it allows me to communicate with my Android and iPhone buddies.
Anybody that wants to get a hold of me that doesn't have imessage can use SMS. That's my use case; different from yours.

You will care when your boss or client is on Windows and you don't have it
Doesn't affect me either way; mostly everything work-based is web-based.

Only a small subset of the iPhone userbase can use it. The feature might as well not exist for the vast majority
Again, we are discussing my use case, and the functionality is really cool. Similar to t-mobiles functionality.


91% use Windows.In other words,91% are in the same boat as me
Right, again your use case doesn't apply to everybody.

It's definitely reliable if you got the money to spend for it. Sony's HDR OLED TV costs $18000 . No LCD comes close
A Ferrari, to use a car analogy is x times more expensive as an F-150, still can't do the things an F-150 can. Expense doesn't always mean the best for every use case.

Certainly not even close to a 1% battery drain overnight
On battery saver my 6s maybe loses 2% overnight and that's with emails and notifications.

The name of the app is air disk free. Works like a champ for my use case.

About the same as my S7 Edge on Nougat.

My Xperia XZ loses 2% overnight in airplane mode. My old iPhones lose zero% in airplane mode. Android definitely isn't as good as iOS when it comes to standby battery life but in use they're much closer.
