While it’s not a fair comparison on paper, it’s hard to ignore just how superior the Galaxy S7’s specs are when put up against Apple’s iPhone 6s. But it’s not just about specs; to that end, the Galaxy S7 is still looking good, with expandable storage, IP68 water resistance, a dual pixel camera and an always-on display. The S7 doesn’t have a 3D Touch screen, but has that really become a killer iPhone feature? You can see these two phones compared in the table below.
