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."

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 tipped to be getting a 3,500mAh battery

Here’s more Samsung Galaxy Note 7 news for you. It looks like the phablet’s battery will be somewhere in between of the Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge, if a recent leak is to be believed. South Korea Telecom accidentally leaked a baseline variant of the Galaxy Note 7 with the model number SM-N930S showing what its battery capacity is. At 3,500mAh, it does lean more towards the S7 edge with just 100mAh less capacity, while the S7 comes built with a 3,000mAh battery.

Some of the other details have been leaked before including putting in an iris scanner (which Samsung has confirmed), a curved display, 4GB of RAM, a 64GB internal storage that’s expandable to 25GB via microSD.
