Apple iPhone 7 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus! #Helpful Post

seven paragraphs in a second man it's

true man cocked and loaded ready to rip

me a new one yo guys johnathan here and

this is gonna be a fun one the iPhone 7

plus has been out for a little while now

it is tried it is tested I think most of

us could agree it is a pretty solid

smartphone but the Galaxy has eight is

here specifically the Galaxy FA plus it

is big it is beautiful

it rocks see how these two stack up side

by side now before I jump in for the

keyboard warrior out there in mid-stroke

right now yes I realized the iPhone 7

plus is just over six months old right

now but you got to consider some people

may be looking to upgrade right now and

some people may be watching this exact

video on their precious iPhone 7 plus

tempted and looking to jump ship over to

Android Plus of things they want to bet

that most of you out there will be happy

with either of these phones especially

if I were to give one away and

definitely want to see maybe drop like

down below and subscribe inter

notification so you don't miss when that

happens now jumping into things I am NOT

going to sugarcoat stuff the galaxy s 8

plus is the better-looking smartphone

what Samsung is done here genuinely has

me excited and if I'm being honest makes

the iPhone 7 plus look a little dated

the kicker here for me and I'm sure for

most of you out there as well is what

Samsung is calling their infinity

display what it is essentially is edge

to edge glass that gives the middle

finger to bezels and looks freaking

beautiful and as far as the footprint

goes if you look closely the galaxy s 8

plus is just slightly taller than the

seven plus but surprisingly it is more

narrow which makes it easier to hold in

one hand and honestly the craziest thing

about this regardless of how close their

insides physically the F 8 plus is

packing a 6.2 inch display inside there

where the iPhone 7 plus is looking kind

of small at 5.5 so those are some

serious screen games ok screen games is

now as far as within those 5.5 inches

the iPhone 7 plus has a resolution of

1920 by 1080 whereas the S 8 plus is

packing all kinds of pixels with a

resolution of 29 60 by 1440 now notice

the most of those extra pixels are

coming vertically what that's going to

do is give you a much taller to splenda

galaxy si plus that's cool especially if

you're holding your phone in portrait

mode because you can then essentially

stack layers on top of each other but if

you flip things and watch full screen

video like this then

that's where the eight and a half by 9

aspect ratio does get a little bit weird

specifically you'll notice two black

bars on the side of me and while that

definitely isn't a deal-breaker some

people may be turned off by it now on

the flip side with the iPhone 7 plus

having a 16 by 9 aspect ratio those

black bars are non-existent in terms of

quality yes the iPhone 7 plus is a

really solid great-looking display but

if we're talking wow factor' brightness

vividness if I'm a being the two side by

side I am going with the galaxy s 8 plus

now admittedly I am NOT the biggest fan

of spec comparisons but for those who

got to know the iPhone 7 plus is packing

Apple's Asian fusion ship what

essentially is a pair of dual-core

processors one high performance and then

one low performance 30 good bytes of RAM

and a 2900 milliamp hour battery flippin

sides the Galaxy FA plus it's also

similar in the sense where we see a pair

of processors but in this case that's

actually a pair of quad-core processors

4 gigs of ram and a slightly larger 3500

milliamp hour battery now this is the

point in the video where I explain why

I'm not the biggest fan of spec

comparison because on paper one might

see the a total cores in the galaxy s 8

plus and assume that it is infinitely

faster and better than the for total

cores in act 1 7 plus and that really

isn't the case even in things like

synthetic benchmarks take Geekbench 4

for example the galaxy has a plus barely

beats out the iPhone 7 plus in terms of

the multi-core score and that is we

double the cores hop over the single

core side of things and it's a

completely different story the iPhone 7

plus actually smokes the galaxy s 8 plus

now does that mean the iPhone 7 plus is

infinitely better faster that you should

solely base your decision based off

benchmarks no way the point that I want

to echo them get across is that in terms

of performance both of these are really

fabs phones so much in fact that

performance and benchmark should not be

the sole focus of your buying decision

rather it is these features around it

they kind of bring everything together

now giving you an example of where specs

are everything what I did was take a 4k

video chop it down to 45 seconds and

then export a 720p version the iPhone 7

plus has half the core so in theory it

should be slower than the Galaxy S 8

plus but it actually exports a video

much faster around 15 seconds where the

Galaxy S 8 plus is actually over 20 now

again this doesn't mean the iPhone

is automatically better if you like

Android I'm sure those extra six seven

seconds are going to kill you but it is

a prime example of why you shouldn't

always listen to specks numbers and

benchmarks now as far as the cameras go

while the rear shooters are pretty

similar at 12 megapixels as far as the

front cameras go there is a pretty

distinct advantage on the SI plus this

features an eight megapixel sensor of

the pose to the five on the iPhone 7

plus and really beyond those megapixels

I think the Galaxy S state just simply

outperforms the iPhone what I notice

most about these two shots beyond the

wider angle in Si plus being nicer is

the dynamic range with the si plus you

can still see the clouds and the sky

whereas with the iPhone 7 plus

everything kind of gets blown out plus

if you've ever wanted to look like a

flying dog with steam coming out of his

ears and some oddly placed paws or a

pair of some pretty weird sheep like me

and my buddy rich you can only do that

on the Galaxy S a plus mm down that face

track

so as far as the front-facing cameras go

to make things a little more interesting

we know both phones are water and dust

resistant so I think it's only fitting

that we test it out that way first up is

the galaxy update flood next we have the

iPhone 7 plus is that sweet gold carbon

fiber wrap new color where now of course

it is water time first up gas 8 plus

focus man there we go

so we're alive will work in follow

things up with guys from 7 plus we are

back in business things are wet but both

pass the water test and as far as

quality goes let me know with a comment

down below what you think looks better

now beyond just video quality in the

front facing camera this microphone and

audio quality matters she always say

both of these performs pretty closely

although give the slight edge to the

iPhone 7 plus it shoves of these two

dudes for tearing it up on music you can

jump some love by checking out the link

down below pop it over to the rear

facing cameras again both of these do

feature 12 megapixel sensors although

the galaxy s 8 plus should perform a

little better in low light with an

f-stop of 1.7 compared to F 1.8 on the

iPhone 7 plus now one noticeable

difference bathroom 7 plus that you are

not getting with the SI is dual lenses

which essentially gives you two focal

lengths here's a shot on the iPhone 7

plus using the main lens at 28

millimeters and then here's a shot

hopping over to the second lens at 56

millimeters now one thing worth

mentioning is the second lens on the 7

plus isn't going to perform nearly as

well as the mainland with that second 56

millimeter lens you're getting an f-stop

of F 2.8 and compared to the main 28

millimeter lens with an f-stop of F 1.8

you are let in much less light another

advantage with that second lens is what

Apple calls portrait modes going to help

you get that nice blurred out background

it's not perfect by any means but it's

definitely a lot better than the

software simulated one here on the

galaxy s 8 plus I felt like in certain

shots that preferred the f8 plus and

then others I prefer the iPhone this one

in particular is where I prefer the

iPhone over the s8 specifically one

because the sky is much nicer and then

to the adidas text is much clearer and

easier to read on a phone 7 plus

shoutout to Rich's tricolors conversely

here's an example of where I prefer the

si+ over the fm7 I think really it comes

down to the FA performing much better in

low light for me what pops out

specifically about this picture is

actually the light around the sign it's

a little more natural and overall just a

more pleasing image flip inside again

and these two shots here I prefer the

iPhone 7 plus the si plus image is

definitely sharp here but if you look

closely at the trees and the flowers it

almost becomes a little over processed

where everything in the anthem 7 plus

just feels a little more natural next

reiterating my point about low-light the

galaxy s 8 plus clearly takes the cake

here and really what it comes down to is

out of the box you're going to get some

instantly satisfying pictures with the

si plus it is better in low light for

sure but I think both are really solid

cameras annex one is definitely going to

give you a less saturated less sharpen

and overall more natural image so here

we are now from seven plus and it's a

pretty good low-light test since we're

pretty much right at sundown I'm going

to get I'm going to say the iPhone 7

plus probably look as good out of the

box of the s8 plus but the stabilization

is probably going to be top notch once

you start to move around we get a little

closer if I can pull focus and kind of

shift that way I'm going to give that

edge to the iPhone 7 plug so here we are

over on the s8 plus not exactly sure how

this looks rich how's it look

not looking at good at the iPhone

apparently not as good as the iPhone 7

plus but you guys let me know with the

comment down below

imagine looks better and all I get is a

pumpkin you fine is so hopping back in

the design because of Samsung's infinity

display you may have noticed there is no

longer a physical home button it's

actually kind of similar to what we saw

in the iPhone 7 or 7 plus or the best

way I could describe this is if both

phones are off and you press the button

nothing would happen now the difference

with the galaxy s 8 plus the home button

is built right into the freaking screen

yeah from seven-plus though gives you

some sort of a physical home button feel

whereas with galaxy s 8 plus you're

actually pressing the display so in

terms of pure tech badass yet the F 8

plus having the home button in the

display still super futuristic but it

does leave a couple problems the first

of which being the fingerprint reader on

the FA plus is now located oddly on the

back and don't get me wrong I don't mind

fingerprint readers on the back of the

phone when it is executed properly but

with the SI plus it's kind of weird

because you really don't know where you

press and then often time I kept swiping

and smudging up the camera so as far as

the fingerprint reader goes I definitely

prefer the iPhone 7 plus easier to

access is a little more natural and it

really makes me wish Samsung would have

gone the extra mile and put the

fingerprint reader into their infinity

display if you up in the settings there

is actually an option we can unlock your

phone by pressing the home button from

your lock screen the problem here though

is there is no level of security and

again if Samsung could have incorporated

the fingerprint reader here it would

have been amazing yes the s8 plus has an

iris scanner has face unlocked but

they'll still feel a little gimmicky at

this point and I really have no desire

to unlock my phone with my face now

moving on we're going to play a game of

things I really like on the s8 plus

starting with USB see if most of you are

aware Apple uses their proprietary

lightning cable and it really makes me

wish Tim Cook please man and move on to

USB C because everything was one

singular cable it would be amazing next

to that sweet USB C port you also notice

on the Galaxy S 8 plus there is still a

headphone jack

speaking of headphones a pretty cool

move Samsung did here was to incorporate

a pretty sweet pair of AKG headphones in

the box

B supposedly are around 100 bucks and if

you compare these with the Lightning

bass ear pods

so 429 Samsung definitely takes the cake

here what I do really like about this

move though is it kind of put some

pressure on applo to step things up I

think the equivalent here would be for

Apple to include a pair of air pods with

the iPhone they clearly don't want us

using tables so that's the case make it

easy and give us air pods now flipping

things for a second one thing I really

like about the 7 plus is the fact that

it incorporates stereo speakers not

something the galaxy s 8 plus does not

have

now I totally understand hearing those

two compared side-by-side through video

is not better than hearing them in

person but I will say the Galaxy s8 plus

does hold us on in terms of volume but

as far as sheer sound quality and

clarity the stainless because when

seven-plus definitely sound better now

as far as battery life even though the

iPhone 7 plus is technically a smaller

capacity

whenever I've used when I've never had a

problem getting to an entire day and

they're actually pretty close in terms

of battery life a couple of other cool

things with the Galaxy S a plus is

you're getting microSD card expansion up

to 256 gigabyte beyond that is Lucy's

5.0 which is kind of cool because you

can control two separate Bluetooth

devices independently something you

cannot do on the iPhone 7 plus you also

have wireless charged on the f8 plus

even though whenever I bring up wireless

charging everyone freaks out because no

one actually likes wireless charging but

you have it anyways I'm not going to

dive too much into Bigsby although I

will say I cannot stand the dedicated

big Z button on the s8 plus because

every time I go to press the volume

rocker

I activate BIG's the end Bigsby or you

mean why don't you ask your little

girlfriend Google assistant you are Siri

your sidekick also there really isn't a

whole lot to cover on iOS versus Android

each of them have their strengths and

their weaknesses Android is going to get

you a ton more customization tweak

ability in iOS is going to get UI

message so the other day you can see the

Galaxy Note 8 plus is going to put a ton

of pressure on Apple with the iPhone 8

in stacked    to the iPhone 7 plus

in terms of sheer technology the galaxy

I think plus is definitely the cooler

phone - I thank you guys very much for

watching in about that giveaway that is

going down right now teamed up with Miss

crystal key were giving away a brand new

subscribed here as well as her Channel

and if you guys cannot get enough of

camera comparisons she did a much better

job than me you can check that video out

here go watch it now

this is Jonathan and I will catch you
