I don't think there's any doubt that both are great phones. Each has different strengths and weaknesses, but for me the S7 camera and microphone are better.

But it is not even about that, the same thing could be said of a nice juicy 4x5 Velvia slide on the light table that was filtered with a 81B at sunrise at Horseshoe Bend through the superlative optical throughput of a Schneider 72mm XL.
Or using a warm polarizer on Flamenco dancers swirling around in Oxaca on an overcast day with a big biege stucco wall filling in the light, shot with a Nikon D810 set to vivid with a Zeiss Milvus 35mm F2.
I'll take the Samsung, I'll take the iPhone 7, as long as I know how it is tuned, the visual music will knock you flat on your a$$.
People say Apple controls all the hardware and software integration the best. That's not exactly true especially for hardware. Does Apple control all the manufacturing channels? Do they control the quality control in those factories?
Note7 became a problem from Samsung's own battery division. But the root started last year when unlike LG, Samsung gave in into sealed batteries. They are paying for price listening to reviewers who don't know jack about future proofing and pretends to know tech when a new color might be the only thing that matters to them. Apple needs to learn how to be the chef to their own kitchen. Not just conjure up "design recipes."
Samsung Galaxy Note8 will surpass iPhone 8 Plus next year once Samsung returns to their senses going back to removable battery. For this year, LG V20 gets my money. Silver one. No fingerprints or scratches on back, faster UI, and REMOVABLE BATTERY. I don't want to base my usage on the life expectancy of a sealed battery. V20 is quietly the best all-around smartphone of the 2016 while iPhone 7+ and Note7 can garner all the hype.

No, I like the better detail, sharpness, and lighting on the Galaxy S7's camera. The colors are so similar, I would be very hesitant to call the Galaxy S7's pictures over saturated. Maybe slightly saturated at most.
Don't get so upset when people disagree with you.
I thought the 7 Plus was going to have the best camera in it's class...
I am extremely disappointed and the microphone quality is terrible.
The 6S to 7 isn't a big jump like I thought.
Galaxy S8 will beat the iP8 before it even comes out in my opinion if apple keeps playing the greed game.
it isn't samsung is paying off all those review sites to claim that the S7 camera is better than the 7 Plus
The iPhone 7 camera is really disappointing
See the video, iPhone 7 on the left, the s7 on the right. The s7 videos looks much sharper, and detailed
Everything what Apple had said on the keynote about the camera, was a lie !

Omg dude it is very obvious in that video the iPhone is showing the actual colors and lighting vs the Samsung. His skin, lips, grass, all are blown out on the samsung and not the actual color, tone, or brightness.The iPhone 7 camera is really disappointing

I have a hard time believing this video. My Galaxy S7 Edge's rear camera is amazing and I'm extremely impressed with it, but the front facing camera is utter garbage. It's not even close to the quality this dude is claiming. My friend's is the same way.The iPhone 7 camera is really disappointing

We both have the Verizon models, so I'm not sure if there's possibly a hardware or software difference between the Verizon model and other Galaxy S7 Edges, but my iPhone SE takes better selfie pics than my Galaxy S7 Edge does.
Even the gras looks damn sharp on the S7! Apple has lied to us, 8mp front camera, but still trash

He says at the very beginning of the video "in the selfie camera comparison."
My bad. Didn't have my sound turned up quickly enough.
Well, either way still looks like crap from the Samsung camera.
I'm not going to argue about the front facing camera. It's crap on the Galaxy S7 Edge.
DSLR in your pocket? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA not even remotely close.

Stop trolling with the same link over and over and over. I don't need a news site to help me understand what I see with my own eyes. My family is 100% iPhone, but the S7 still owns it with respect to camera quality. I prefer iOS and I am hooked into the ecosystem. You need to get out of Steve's reality distortion field and come into reality. The S7 has a better camera - it isn't dramatically so, but it is better.
So it's your contention that, not only is the S7 camera better, but the 7+ camera is so woeful that it cannot take adequate snaps of a toddler? The hyperbole is getting a little out of control in this thread. Whether one camera is a bit better than the other or not, both are astoundingly good for phone cameras.
I am in reality since I own a s7 edge and 6s plus. I get to experience both unlike you.
This what I'm getting from my 7 plus
Compared to the type of shots I got from my S7 edge.
Cute baby!
Also the iPhone shot is quite grainy/noisy.

Thank you.
I know! All my pictures are coming out like that. I wonder if it's faulty or something. I haven't tried it outside yet.
