Comparison iPhone SE Galaxy S7. What is better - iPhone or Samsung: an overview of models of different generations. Examples of photo on iPhone SE

Recall that a few days earlier, namely, on March 21, Apple at a special event introduced a 4-inch iPhone SE, which was stated on the presentation, is a record holder in relation to the time of work in offline mode. The WSJ edition on its own initiative tested the gadget and fully confirmed Apple's applications.

Tell me autonomous work Compact iPhone SE with other gadgets, for example, in comparison with the iPhone 6S, it works longer for almost two hours, and if compared with South Korean Samsung Galaxy S7, then at all - for three hours. In addition, according to the autonomy indicators, the iPhone SE ripped not only the iPhone 5S, which is logical, given its characteristics, but also the popular flagship model iPhone. 6s. Obviously, for funny visibility and for the purity of the experiment, journalists of the aforementioned edition were testing a new year 2016 - Galaxy S7.

According to comments from the representatives of the WSJ edition, a compact model smartphone iPhone. SE showed actually impressive results regarding working offline. In addition, if the iPhone SE is compared with other "apple" products released recently, this gadget demonstrates a noticeable improvement compared to them. Specialists of the publication were conducted tests in the laboratory conditions, in which the smartphones came to various websites. All devices were the average screen brightness, and iPhone SE worked offline 10 hours, which exceeded operation iphone 6s and iPhone 5S more than two hours, and as for Galaxy S7, then the iPhone SE climbed three hours longer. It is worth noting that in relation to the Korean flagship, the Phone Arena resource tests have already been carried out, which in principle do not contradict the above-mentioned edition - according to their version of Galaxy S7, it worked offline 2 hours less than the iPhone 6S.

Note that, as promised during the presentation, yesterday, on March 24, Apple opened pre-orders for an announced iPhone SE. At the moment, access to pre-orders for new smartphone The markets of such countries as the USA, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and some others received the markets. Moreover, official Start Novelty sales scheduled for March 31. As for our region, the pre-orders on the iPhone Se will open on March 28.

If you briefly touch the price policy regarding the presented iPhone SE, then, apparently, this device can be bolded to call the most budget among "apple" smartphones. Thus, its lower price limit for a 16 gigabyte modification starts from $ 400, but for the desire to have a device with a 64 GB of integrated memory aboard, will have to pay $ 499. Devices of silver, golden, gray and color "Rose Gold" will be on the market.

Perhaps many this article will seem strange, but nevertheless people are asked as a question. But it is better to buy a smartphone from Apple or Samsung. To date, prices for flagship models from both producers grow a year from the year. There is a price list at $ 800-900 for a smartphone. It is difficult to surprise such money. I can spend such money.

Therefore, many begin to look at the sides of simpler devices, but also much cheaper. Today I want to compare two budget option iPhone SE and SAMSUNG GALAXY A3 (2017).

In order for you to decide on the choice, I will try to describe their advantages and disadvantages in detail.

Comparison of the characteristics of the iPhone SE and SAMSUNG GALAXY A3 (2017)

To begin with, let's take a look at the characteristics of two smartphones. For your convenience, I compiled a table with the main characteristics of these devices.

The main differences of the iPhone SE from Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)

According to the table presented above, you can only get the overall picture according to the characteristics, but not the final verdict on which smartphone is better. The devices have come out for a long time, so there is plenty of information about them.

Design

About the appearance can argue very long. All taste is different. iPhone SE external indistinguishable from the old iPhone 5S and has a 4-inch screen and compact sizes.

Samsung A3 looks much more modern and thanks to a glass case, looks very stylish. But due to the fact that the back cover is made of glass, prepare for the fact that the back cover will be constantly in fingerprints. The screen is 4.7 inches and it is quite compact for today's standards, but more than a direct competitor.

Screens of both devices have a number of advantages and disadvantages. Someone crazy about the colorful Super AMOLED, and someone souls natural color reproduction Retina. There is no ideal display, and it all depends on your preferences.

Performance

This item is probably one of the most important. You can enjoy every pleasant device. Which will not be labeled and will cope with all everyday tasks.

iPhone SE will cope with them without any problems. All the same iron from 6S at the moment has not yet lost its relevance, so even modern games you will not slow down.

But about Samsung A3, alas cannot be said. With various applications, he is still able to cope, then in the top games, you will most likely be played in the top games. The processor is sufficiently weak today, and 2 GB of RAM in case Android Looks funny.

Camera

The front camera on the iPhone is very old and for those who like to do selfie - 1.2 MP will become a real disappointment. True, with good lighting, it is possible to make good photos.

But the main chamber makes prucky snapshots and considering the ability to shoot a video 4k, and for such money to find something better will be extremely not easy.

Samsung will also surprise anything to surprise you. Frontal albeit 8 megapixel, but there are many complaints about the quality of the photo. The back will be a little worse and the possibility of shooting video only in Full HD. True, if you want to see a real comparison of the cameras of these devices, then it is better to look at Youtube videos.

Battery and chips

By time of work, both phone will be able to work a full-fledged working day. So you can safely fulfill all your tasks during the day and do not think about the need for recharging.

In both smartphones there is a fingerprint scanner built into the HOME button. As for Samsung, it also works in it somewhat faster. But the A3 will pay you by the presence of moisture protection according to the IP68 standard, so you can not be afraid of rain or dust hitting the gadget.

What smartphone to choose?

Both smartphones have different advantages and choose from them very not just.

In my opinion, Android actually works well only on top devices. And here the iPhone se despite the small price, it has a good filling and works great even on iOS 11.

In this regard, choosing a smartphone stands on the following plan:

Take the iPhone SE. Let it stand a little more expensive, but this overpayment is worth it. You will get a smartphone well working on the latter versions of ios. And a fairly high-quality chamber. When he will delight you for a few more years.
SAMSUNG GALAXY A3 (2017). The main advantages include a good screen, the presence of moisture protection and perhaps everything. The existence of the state industry, from which it is not worth waiting for a lot and today it is not too relevant.

Take Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017). The main advantages include a good screen, the presence of moisture protection and perhaps everything. The existence of the state industry, from which it is not worth waiting for a lot and today it is not too relevant.

Summing up, I want to say that when choosing between apple devices And SAMSUNG Look at what operating system you like more. If you used to use iOS, you should choose an iPhone, well, such a scheme in case of android.

Believe me, the process of addictive to another OS will bring little pleasure and you will scold for such a choice. It is always more pleasant to work in the environment that you are comfortable and understandable. In today's day, when smartphones in the gland are not inferior to each other, the ecosystem solves a decisive role.

SAMSUNG GALAXY A3 (2017) and iPhone SE

Accurate answer to the question that better iPhone Or Samsung, does not exist - if only because much depends on the compared models and parameters that are most important for a particular user.

However, in order to still partially deal with the problem arising from those who want to get one of the best modern smartphones at their disposal, it is worth comparing two flagship.

At the moment flagship models The iPhone X is considered, the "younger" version of which will cost about 70,000 rubles, and with a price of a similar 64-gigabyte modification of about 67,000 rubles.

Comparison of top models

The main reason for the emergence of difficulties with the answer to the question of choosing the flagship brand is the personal preferences of the potential buyer.

Someone has long decided for himself that it bows only the products of Apple's brand, and in any case will choose an ICA iPhone.

Another user considers the most important quality of the smartphone. The presence of 2 SIM cards, the possibility of expanding memory and - and most likely buy "Samsung".

However, such a situation may occur when a person has no special preferences, and the main task is not to buy a gadget of a certain manufacturer, but an objective comparison of parameters.

The results of this choice may be different - Especially since the flagship of each brand has its own characteristics.

Appearance and dimensions

The design and dimensions of the smartphone are one of the first parameters that most users pay attention to.

Naturally, they are far from always decisive to select a suitable option.

However, if we are talking about such an expensive purchase, it is unlikely that you can simplify the comparison of the diagonal, thickness and level of gadget protection.

The differences between the buildings of two gadgets is the presence of models Galaxy Glasses that boosts the screen protection level.

The iPhone is less protected from external influences, however, is more compact and convenient, despite the fact that the difference in the size of the screen is not as noticeable and does not give special advantages.

Due to the smaller thickness and convenience in this category, the victory with a slight margin of iphone X.

Screen characteristics

The parameters of the displays from gadgets are slightly different from each other.

With a diagonal of 6.2 "the Samsung screen received a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels, the same indicator is equal to 2436 x 1125 pixels.

This feature allows the owner of the Samsung smartphone to use the services of two operators at the same time or, for example, put two numbers on one phone - working and home.

The Apple model has no such advantage - the first iPhones with 2 SIM cards are expected on the market no earlier than the end of 2018.

Another advantage of Galaxy S9 - Ability to transfer information at a speed of up to 1200 Mbps. The iPhone has a similar indicator twice as smaller (up to 600 Mbps).

However, the real plus this feature cannot be called - none mobile operator not yet provides such speed, and modules for working with wireless networks Phone phones are the same.

Autonomy

The level of autonomy of smartphones can be compared by battery capacity - however, such a comparison will be incorrect.

Availability of a 3500 mAh battery allows Samsung to work with an average download level up to 8.5 hours.

Flagship iPhone, equipped with a battery for 2716 mAh works under the same conditions for 1 hour longer.

When you turn on demanding games, both models are able to provide no more than 3-4 hours of continuous work, in standby mode and regular telephone communication (with sending and watching), each runs more than a day.

On the Internet from the flagships can be up to 6 hours, depending on the brightness of the screen and the connection type (mobile or Wi-Fi). Each gadget has wireless and fast charging.

Apple Pay, the convenience of using which is higher than that or Samsung Pay.

Most other flagship figures differ little or are not as important to pay attention to them when choosing a suitable smartphone.

Neither Emodeji nor the transfer of settings or frequency becomes decisive factors.

And the time of operation of gadgets, mainly depends on the tasks being performed.

Both phones in the name - flagships, which were the best in the ruler. Today there are Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7, therefore the models under consideration are not top. But even today they remain flagships and have powerful "hardware". Therefore, it is appropriate to compare them.

Competitors

S7 and iPohne SE have serious competitors in the face of Samsung S8, OnePlus 3T. Belinks below, we give a comparison of these phones with decent competitors. Samsung S7 We compared with OnePlus 3T - Available. We will also offer an interesting comparison of S7 with an older model S8 so that it can be understood which improvements to the Koreans have been made in the already cool smartphone (find). And if we talk about American "iPhones", then not only the model SE is a competitor. Older iphone version 6S Plus can also be mapped to Galaxy S7 - find a comparison. However, an iPhone even without the prefix "Plus" is a good competitor to S7 (see).

More comparisons with competitors:

Huawei P9 vs Galaxy S7 -.

Processors and performance

Popular iPhone Special Edition has a branded processor Apple A9.which will also be applied in iPhone 6S. This is a rather "strong" chipset with two nuclei with a frequency of 1.84 GHz. Also available 2 GB of RAM and the PowerVR GT7600 graphics accelerator. If you compare the "iron" with the flagship of the previous generation iPhone 5S, then the difference is noticeable immediately. SE works much faster than iPhone 5S, and this is noticeable even by the interface, not to mention the games and "heavy" applications.

But all this "lyrics". The main thing is the result of Benchmarck Antutu. Here apple A9's iPhone database is gaining 130 thousand points that a good indicator for the flagship.

Now about chipset in Samsung Galaxy S7. Here 2 different processors can be used: either the corporate exynos 8890, or Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm. Both chips of approximately one level, but there is a premonition that the latter is more powerful, but its autonomy is 10% lower. Although mostly the market presents these smartphones with the EXYNOS chip, it is rare to find the Galaxy S7 based on Qualcomm brainchild.

Exynos 8890 is an eight-year-older, works on Armv8 architecture, which involves dividing them on 2 clusters: 4 Cortex-A53 kernels, 4 kernel M1. M1 high performance kernels are used to perform complex tasks, and the default "rest" and do not spend the battery's charge with so much in vain.

The performance test antutued 140407 points.

Conclusion: Galaxy S7 has a more powerful chip compared to Apple A9. Although the difference of 10 thousand points will be almost inconspicuous in the interface, nor when running heavy applications.

Cameras

The second more or less significant difference is the camera. In Galaxy S7, the Sony IMX260 sensor is used, which was designed for this smartphone. Such a sensor cannot buy other manufacturers, and on the developer's website (that is, Sony) there is no description to it. It is known that the phone is used with a lens with a light f / 1.7 (which is not bad), and the pixel size is 1.4 microns, so that the matrix gets more information, and this is good in theory. This smartphone was the first one who received focusing throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe matrix thanks new technology - Dual Pixel.

But he speaks about characteristics for a very long time. Another thing is the picture quality in practice.

Examples of photos on Galaxy S7

the iPhone SE got a traditionally good chamber, the characteristics of which are known weakly: resolution 12 mp, aperture F / 2.2 (worse than the competitor under consideration). It seems that the same sensor is used here as in iPhone 6, therefore, the quality of the images is comparable.

Examples of photo on iPhone SE

A distinctive feature of the iPhone chambers is simplicity and cool software. To get a good picture, you just need to send the camera and take a picture. It sounds stupid, but often the process of photographing to other smartphones becomes complex, and this is with good rear sensors.

Conclusion: Samsung Galaxy S7 becomes the winner by the winner, although the iPhone occurs on the heels.

Displays

Samsung against Apple is the eternal struggle of manufacturers who make the best screens on the market. On the one hand, Apple with its cool Retina-displays has long been known to the public. These screens have high brightness, perfect color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. In this case, the sensors are sensitive and responsive to the touch.

Samsung Displays with Superamoled Technology Trying to get many other manufacturers of smartphones, including Apple. Recognition of a competitor is expensive.

If you believe specialists from displaymate, then screen samsung Galaxy S7 became the best among smartphones. Perfect color reproduction, big viewing angles, readable text, etc. You can praise it for a long time, but the guys from DisplayMate have already done it for us. In addition, the QHD resolution is used here with a diagonal of 5.1 inches. This is indecent much for a similar diagonal that comes to the idea: it was done in marketing purposes. The iPhone SE screen diagonal is only 4 inches, resolution 1136 × 640.

Wins in this pair Korean flagship from Samsung.

conclusions

We forgot to mention the price, and this is important. Not only is Galaxy S7 possesses best screen And the camera compared to the iPhone SE is also cheaper. Its price is approximately 35-38 thousand rubles (depending on the seller), iPhone SE will cost 40 thousand rubles.

Video Review Galaxy S7

The author of the first iPhon became Steve Jobs, it was he who was the first general director of Apple, which to this day is a manufacturer of original versions of mobile gadgets of this brand. After the death of the legendary leader, the American corporation was headed by Tim Cook. The main office is located in the USA, California, Kupertino.

EPPL products are famous for its quality.

The development of software and design, marketing, pricing, logistics are engaged in the employees of the Kupertinov office, and the assembly, as in most firms, is carried out in China. IPhones are collected at the Foxconn plant. Experts argue that more than 90% of the contribution to the creation of "apple" gadgets is the merit of the main office staff. The percentage of marriage is minimal due to the high quality control of the finished products to which the Americans impose high demands.

The main competitor of an innovative corporation on russian market - Samsung. The head office is located in South Korea, Suwon. The brand has received its fame due to the production of high-quality TV, DVD players and other digital technology. At the very beginning of the XXI century, the corporation launched the production of simple phones. Today, this company offers mobile gadgets created in accordance with the latest technologies. Therefore, the buyer often has a choice that it is better to buy - iPhone or Samsung? With the development of production mobile devices on the android database OS The company has created the so-called subbrend called Galaxy. Almost all flagships are available under it. And if the apple corporation releases only a couple of models per year, Koreans in this regard more productive.

Which phone is better - iPhone or Samsung: a comparative review of models on various characteristics

Most often, mobile devices are compared according to known characteristics, for example, software and hardware platform, camera parameters, functionality, design, equipment, etc. Conducting a comparative analysis and choosing that better - Apple or Samsung, we will also consider the main characteristics, comparing models of these brands.

Software

The main advantage, due to which users prefer iPhones - software. IOS a priori is considered more protected. In addition, one company is represented in the face of the developer of the software and the gadget itself, which affects the compatibility of iron and software filling. Many owners say "pinchula" the operation of the device. As for the software, IOS initially not provided for operator programs that cannot be removed from the phone without root access, which cannot be said about Android. Applications in the branded store high-quality and reliable, but the choice in the AppStore is less.

Many applications in the company apple Store Paid

Although Play Market. Offer great amount There are no various applications in it, Apple's branded software, for example, Siri ( voice assistantwhich can be used together with third-party applications), HOMEKIT (management " smart home"), AirPlay (transmitting media files to any devices), iTunes (media player). Imessage messenger with its updated functionality wins from Hangouts, and iPhoto and Imusic applications, compared to Android analogues, have more opportunities.

As the minuses of American operating system Users celebrate some problems with synchronization with other devices running not on iOS, and the impossibility detailed settings Through flashing. Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6 work on the basis of Android 6, while 7 and 8 generations have an already updated seventh version, which may well compete with iOS.

The updated Android 7 offers several useful innovations:

the ability to use without installation;
updated messengers for communication (text messages and video calls);
update for without user participation;
advanced features of the virtual reality functional;
answers to messages directly from the notifications panel;
background switching tasks.

Design, build quality and materials

Loaded under the motto "Not everyone solves dimensions", Epplovsky 5S device with a 4-inch screen is made in an aluminum case and has three color solutions: black / gray, white and gold. Adherents of apple products consider such a style of quality standard. But this is a very subjective point of view. By itself, the device is somewhat thicker than its competitor. The convenient button "MUTE" allows the owner to quickly disable the sound.

5.1-inch Samsung Galaxy S5 has metal housing With an advanced color solution: black, white, blue and gold. The effect of grace of the flagship by the manufacturer was emphasized by rounding edges. On the side there are two slots covering two SIM cards or cards and microferies.

Sixth generation models look stylish and modern

The body of glass and metal, in which Galaxy S6 is represented, is not inferior to the all-metal similar to the American device of the same generation. Comparing the design of the apparatus of the seventh version, it is worth noting that they go almost alongside. A similar color gamut is a silver, black (in a matte and glossy solution), golden, "rose gold". As the main difference, we can note only the degrees of moisture protection of the device. Only on this criterion wins Samsung Galaxy S7.

The premium quality of the materials of the flagship of the eighth generation is highlighted with stylish performance and ergonomic solutions. But if the American manufacturer took the basic idea previous modelT. design Galaxy S8 changed dramatically. Therefore, buyers when choosing often compare that better - iPhone 7 or Samsung 8. The frame around the screen of the latter has become almost invisible.

As for the quality of assembly and materials, in the same case, the production of top models is paid great attention. Quality control of manufacturers on high level. Of course, sometimes you can see the reviews in which the owners of the Epplovian devices argue that they are more comfortable in hand, compared with Korean devices. But this is only a subjective assessment and depends on the individual preferences of users.

Hardware platform

At the moment, both processors are morally outdated. But, despite the characteristics, 64-bit architecture and similar frequency, Apple A7 wins. As for graphic indicators, they are also practically at the same level. But for games experts advise A7.

Comparing that it is better in iron performance - Samsung 6 or an iPhone 6, it can be noted that, despite the number of nuclei and a larger size of the RAM, Galaxy is not much wins from the American smartphone. Thanks to the excellent optimization on the iPhone, rationally uses rAMthat does not affect performance.

It is worth noting that both devices have a powerful stuffing, but at the expense of a processor that has twice the cores and RAM, the built-in LTE controller wins Korean. In addition, Samsung allows you to expand the size of the memory at the expense of a removable flash card.

According to the test results, the Samsung processor received 153 points, Epplovsky - 108

Despite a slight advantage on the technical characteristics of Samsung Galaxy S8, the American flagship exceeds speed and computing power. Together with the M11 motion coprocessor with a neural engine, A11 ensures reliable operation of the system.

iPhone 8 wins Galaxy S8 by performance

Battery and charging

Objectively, in this case, Samsung wins. In addition, judging by the reviews, apple devices are afraid of strong Russian frosts, so they quickly lose charge and are often disconnected in the cold.

The superiority of Samsung on the capacity of the battery is obvious. But here on the aid of the epple comes a small screen size and economical iron. Therefore, there is no obvious winner in this category.

Objectively, the capacity of the batteries of both devices is small, compared to modern flagships. But in this case, Samsung Galaxy S7 wins due to the possibility of a wireless (the adapter is not included in the standard package) and quick charging.

SAMSUNG Wireless Charper

Comparing objectively, which is better - iPhone 8 or Samsung 8 by battery capacity, it is obvious that the advantage of the Korean. In practice, resources are approximately the same. The point is here in displays. For beautiful I. bright screen S8 requires more resources. Both eight-generation devices support adapters for wireless and rapid battery recharging.

Screen Parameters

The resolution of the other model corresponds to the diagonal. Screen iPhone 5s boasts high clarity. At a distance of more than 20 cm from the eye, individual pixels are almost invisible. In addition, the "apple" flagship is a oleophobic coating. It affects appearance During the period of operation - on such a surface there are not fingerprints. The only minus 5s, which is noted by users in their feedback, is a small screen.

The situation with Galaxy S5, the diagonal is bigger, but because of the Pentile, the image does not seem so clear. As for color reproduction, none of the models here can boast of perfect indicators. iPhone slightly "red", and Samsung noticeably "blue". As for visibility in the sun, the Korean apparatus won here here.

In general, the displays of both models are worthy of each other. Iphon 6 wins only due to the support of 3D Touch. This is a kind of mobile version of Force Touch in MacBook. Thanks to this technology, which allows you to use the PEEK and POP functions, new features are opening for the user, which can be managed by a different degree of finger pressure.

Screen quality, response speed and automatic brightness of the brightness of the other model at height. The Korean flagship screen is more, more clearly, paints saturated and contrast, while the American version has a soft color gamut, thanks to which the color reproduction is warmer and natural. What in this case it is better to choose - iPhone 7 or Samsung 7? The first option receives additional points for the existing 3D Touch technology, which does not have an opponent.

Both options please natural color reproduction, high-quality detail and clear image.

Photo and video camera

IPhone cameras have always differed high quality And they won from ordinary soaps, not to mention Chinese competitors. Even when lighting the lighting, pictures are made by blacks. Evaluating subjectively on the technical characteristics of the equipment, the Galaxy S5 with a branded matrix from the manufacturer with ISoCell technology has a clear advantage. Evaluating the visually quality of the pictures, it can be said that both devices are on the same level.

Example photo made on iphone 5s in the dark

Example photo made on Galaxy S5

Again, considering that it is better - EPL or Samsung in terms of photo and video, and evaluating only specifications, Victory can be given to the Korean device. But the quality of the pictures on the iPhone 6 is not inferior to anything, besides, a 12 megapixel camera is used in the sixth generation. Both devices are removed in 4K.

Both by characteristics and by user reviews, both devices have excellent modern cameras. But it is worth noting that the quality of images and videos depends largely on external factors. And if the iPhone 7 is better removing with natural light, the Korean apparatus is capable and in the dark to give a high-quality photo.
