The Samsung Galaxy S6 was the best phone of 2015 and, although it’s still early days, the Galaxy S7 is a serious contender for best phone of 2016. Samsung has taken into account what its fans want, addressing the three main areas of concern: removable storage, waterproofing and battery life. It’s also upgraded the core hardware and photography gear, added an always-on display and some useful software. Right now the Galaxy S7 is simply unbeatable.

Technically speaking, the Galaxy S7 is the superior smartphone here and it has things which you can’t get on the iPhone 6S like a Micro-SD card slot, waterproofing and wireless charging. However, it’s more expensive and the design of the iPhone 6S combined with the usability of iOS will make it a better choice for some. These are first impressions as we’ve only had hand-on time with the Galaxy S7.

Not forgetting that this comparison is based on our hands-on review of the S7 and considerably more in-depth testing and prolonged use of the 6P, we can only come to preliminary conclusions about this particular battle.
The Nexus 6P has two main advantages over its rival: price and plain Android. Those who use their phone’s built-in speakers a lot will also like the front-facing stereo speakers. The bigger screen may also be an advantage if you want a larger phone.
The S7 is more expensive, but is also faster, has expandable storage, is waterproof, and has optical stabilisation for the camera and native support for 1080p60. Few will buy it for the heart-rate monitor.
For some people, that list will make the S7 worth the extra price, while others will see the 6P’s drawbacks as reasonable compromises for the cheaper price.

The Galaxy S7 takes everything that's great about Samsung's last two flagships and puts them into a phone that highlights the best tech you can get right now.

But if you want a quick-fire look at the Galaxy S7, we’ve got you covered. In short, our Galaxy S7 review will tell you that it’s still a great phone. It might lack the new-gen hardware of 2018 flagships and may have been usurped at the top of the

Although these are our initial impressions of the OnePlus 3T, the £69 price difference between it and the Galaxy S7 will make the choice a tough decision for plenty of buyers. We think the S7 is worth the extra if you’ll use the extra features it offers over the 3T. But if £400 is your absolute limit and you want a larger screen, the 3T isn’t bad value… until you consider the OnePlus 3 is pretty much just as good for £70 less.

There was a time when stock Android, the way Google intended it to be, was ugly. It was basic, lacked sheen and it paled in comparison to Apple’s iOS. Also, phone makers wanted to stamp their own identity on their handsets, rather than have them all appear alike, so they decided to spruce Android up a bit by adding their own ‘skins’. These are layers that sit over the operating system and change how it looks, along with adding some extra features.

I love the camera on the Galaxy S7, and not just because it takes stunning photos.
