Samsung Galaxy Note 7 dominated by year-old iPhone 6S in performance showdown

The results of these tests are dramatic, it may even seem like the iPhone 6S is twice as fast as the Note 7, but there are a number of factors to consider.

The Samsung Galaxy Note may be the shiny new device that's making waves for its sleek looks, updated SPen functionality and camera performance, but it apparently can't keep up with Apple's year-old iPhone 6S.

The Galaxy Note 7 is no slouch in the specs department, the phablet comes with an octa-core processor and a whopping 4GB of RAM (double that of the iPhone 6S!). Yet, the tests above clearly show the iPhone 6S running laps around Samsung's flagship performance-wise.

Despite having the upper hand in specs, the Note 7 stumbles and fumbles next to the iPhone 6S (which has Apple's A9 processor and 2GB of RAM). According to real-world speed tests undertaken by PhoneBuff, "It took the Galaxy Note 7 two minutes and four seconds to launch 14 apps and render a video, while the iPhone did the same in one minute and 21 seconds."

Apple rumoured to be launching a curved iPhone next year

If this new report from the Nikkei Asian Review is anything to go by, we would be seeing a trio of iPhones next year. One of the new phones that might make its debut next year will reportedly be a premium version with a curved display similar to what Samsung has done with its Galaxy edge models. According to a source supposedly familiar with plans of Apple: “There will be a 4.7-inch model, another that will be 5.5 inches, and a premium handset that will be either 5.5 inches or larger equipped with a screen bent on two sides.” Samsung is also said to be supplying the new displays to Apple with this supposed curved version to be sporting an OLED screen. The South Korean tech company is currently the only manufacturer that offers these flexible OLED screens so that checks out.

This premium device was supposed to come out this year but was scrapped. According to Nikkei’s source, there will only be a regular 4.7-inch “iPhone 7” and 5.5-inch “iPhone 7 Plus” with a dual lens camera coming next month when the company is set to release new iPhones.
