Iphone 6 Plus Vs Samsung Galaxy A 7 by Electronzeez(m): 10:40pm On Jan 19, 2015 |
Apple recently unleashed its first phablet on the world and it’s an impressive device. But Samsung more or less invented the phablet and though its Note 4 is its flagship phablet the upcoming Galaxy A7 has a more premium and stylish build, making it a valid alternative to the iPhone 6 Plus. So how do these two stylish devices compare? Read on to find out. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Build The Apple iPhone 6 Plus is an incredibly good looking phone, with an aluminium frame and curved edges leaving it looking and feeling great. Its dimensions are impressive too, as while it’s large at 158.1 x 77.8mm it’s only 7.1mm thick. The Samsung Galaxy A7 is also clad in metal, but the shape is less rounded and it doesn’t come across as quite as premium as the iPhone 6 Plus. It’s also lighter at just 141g (the 6 Plus is 172g). Light can sometimes be good but with a large screen and a metal build a certain amount of weight is expected and without it a phone can feel cheap. What it does have going for it though is a relatively compact build, at 151 x 76.2 x 6.3mm, so it’s shorter, slimmer and thinner than the iPhone 6 Plus, despite having the same size screen. Those are all points in its favour, but overall the iPhone 6 Plus is probably the better looking phone. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Display The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 401 pixels per inch, while the Samsung Galaxy A7 has a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 401 pixels per inch. So the two phones have screens of exactly the same size and resolution but they’re not completely identical. The actual display technology is different, with the iPhone 6 Plus using IPS LCD and the Galaxy A7 using Super AMOLED. The 6 Plus delivers natural colours and good contrast and while we haven’t gone hands-on with the Galaxy A7 yet using Super AMOLED means it’s likely to have brighter, richer colours, but potentially less accurate ones. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Power The Apple iPhone 6 Plus has a 1.4GHz dual-core Apple A8 processor and 1GB of RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy A7 has either a Snapdragon 615 processor if you buy the dual SIM model or an Exynos 5 processor if you buy the single SIM one. Both are octa-core chips, but the Snapdragon one has four cores clocked at 1.5GHz and four at 1.0GHz, while the Exynos one has four cores at 1.8GHz and four at 1.3GHz. So the Exynos 5 version should be faster and that’s likely to be the model that lands in the UK, as we rarely get dual SIM phones. Whichever one we get though it will have 2GB of RAM. On paper then the Samsung Galaxy A7 should be a fair bit more powerful than the iPhone 6 Plus, but in practice we’d be surprised if it can match that phones slick performance. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Camera The Apple iPhone 6 Plus only has an 8 megapixel camera but it’s capable of taking highly impressive photos. That’s helped by the fact that it has optical image stabilisation and a dual-LED flash, to ensure colours stay natural even when shooting with artificial light. It can also shoot 1080p video at 60fps and has a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera. The Samsung Galaxy A7 has a 13 megapixel main snapper, but there’s no optical image stabilisation here and only a single LED flash. Its video recording skills are more limited too as it’s capped at 1080p at 30fps. The front-facing camera is a solid 5 megapixels though, so while its main camera is less impressive than the one on the iPhone 6 Plus it should be better for selfies. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Battery life, memory and connectivity The iPhone 6 Plus has a fairly large 2915 mAh juice pack which can last for up to 24 hours of talk time or 384 hours of standby. The Samsung Galaxy A7 has a rather smaller 2600 mAh battery. Samsung hasn’t stated how long lasting the battery is but we’d expect it won’t hold up as well as the iPhone 6 Plus. The 6 Plus comes in a choice of 16, 64 or 128GB of storage, but that’s not expandable, while the Galaxy A7 has just 16GB of storage but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 64GB. Both phones support Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and Bluetooth 4.0, but the Galaxy A7 also supports NFC and while the iPhone 6 Plus does have an NFC chip it’s only useable for Apple Pay. Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A7 – Conclusion The Samsung Galaxy A7 looks like a promising handset, with one of Samsung’s most premium builds yet, but it doesn’t quite have flagship specs and while the screen is a match for the iPhone 6 Plus its performance and camera are unlikely to be. It also still doesn’t look quite as good as the iPhone 6 Plus and lacks the Touch ID fingerprint scanner of Apple’s phone. On the other hand it’s also likely to be a lot cheaper. The iPhone 6 Plus starts at £619, which is pricey even for a flagship and while the price of the Galaxy A7 hasn’t yet been confirmed its specs should position it below most flagships, so we’d expect it will cost under £500, possibly well under. As such it doesn’t need to match up to the iPhone 6 Plus in other ways. If you want a flagship phablet and don’t want an iPhone then the Note 4 is a better choice, but if you want to save some money or get a more premium build you’re unlikely /1AnzTSP http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Jan2015/iphone-6-plus-vs-samsung-galaxy-a7-two-stylish-phablets-go-head-to-head.html
