iPhone 6s Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

[tsavvy]

I can upgrade to a new phone this week and the struggle between choosing Apple or Android is real.

I have never owned an Apple product and don't know what it is like.
Android is much bloated for me and has a laggy feel on every single android device.

I will root/jailbreak the device if I have it.

How much time does it take to learn and understand iOS and is it a "nicer" operating system to have?

My preferred cellular provider is Telkom, MTN, Cell C, Vodacom in that order if it makes any diffirence in prices - quality of service etc.

The Galaxy S7 Edge won't be laggy - from what I can tell it is extremely fast. It is still bloated though. If you want to use Android in it's unbloated glory, get a Nexus.

My Nexus 6P is, without a doubt, faster than an iPhone 6. I haven't played much with an iPhone 6s though.

I was comparing the cameras' performances on GSM the other day. Not sure how accurately these tests reflect on the devices in real-life conditions, but the S7 was, in my opinion, streaks ahead.

Low Light comparisons..Even more distinct.

These days, jailbreaking is not necessary on iPhones. If you're not liking android, try the iPhone. They're both brilliant

I completely agree. Neither will be a mistake, and it boils down to personal taste in the end.

In my case, there are a few small things about iOS that I don't like: Scrolling friction is too high, which results in slow and cumbersome scrolling when websites/lists are large. I also find the settings menus a little confusing (coming from Android), but I'll probably be able to get used to this. Another issue is that some buttons are so small that I have a hard time pressing buttons, even though I have average sized hand for a man.

That said, I think Apple still designs some of the best phone-hardware available right now. I have not held an Android phone that feels better (and more premium) in the hand than a iPhone 6/s.

That S7 camera looks great.

I'm looking to order a S7 Edge 32GB Duos (dual sim) within the next few days.

I only use dual sim phones, so Apple won't do it for me.

Where do you order from exactly and at what cost?

This^ besides annoying itunes policies these days most phones are very similar in what they can do,I don't sync much movies etc on my phone so I don't mind using an iphone and I like it because the looks and build quality are great,however I hate ipads because it's a nightmare when you need content on your ipad storage(streaming is simple enough when you have a good connection).I use an android tablet instead.
