IPhone 7 Plus humiliates Samsung Galaxy S8 in speed tests

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is undoubtedly the phone of the moment, with a spectacular design that has turned the market upside down, especially when it has buried alive a device that could have been a before and after, the LG G6 that came with a percentage screen unparalleled, until a March 29 Samsung decided to give a twist to everything we knew so far. His advertising campaign could not be more successful, highlighting what a mobile phone was until now, and what it was going to be from now on.

However, it is quite evident that the South Korean company has focused its efforts on design and attracting attention, but ... Has it done so well in terms of performance? According to the first videos that we have been able to observe, the iPhone 7 literally humiliates the Samsung Galaxy S8 in real world environments.

We continue in the same line of argument, Samsung has decided to mount the best processors in its flagship device, although it has not chosen to include RAM memories that take away our sleep, the reality is that it has opted for the most "Apple" strategy of all, maintaining the total 4GB available in its previous version, the Galaxy S7, and only 1GB more than the great success of the Samsung Galaxy S6. However, is Android ready for these changes? And it is that the operating system is one of the great pitfalls before which the brand is presented, especially considering that

It seems that the Snapdragon 835 and the Exynos 8895 have stagnated slightly, especially if we see how the A10 SoC that Apple presents in the iPhone 7 moves and that seems to show clearly superior performance. But it is not the same to say it than to see it with your own eyes, that's why the companions of EverythingApplePro They have seen fit to share this video in which we can see how the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 defend themselves in a real application environment.

Does the iPhone 7 Plus really outperform the Galaxy S8 in performance?

Well that's what it looks like by watching the video that leads these words. In the test that we can see at 6:50 for example, we see how the iPhone 7 and the Galaxy S8 navigate under the same WiFi connection, so they should get the same power, with their default browsers and when looking for a web page. It is true that the difference is not crazy, it is not expected from two phones that are around 800 euros, but it is a detail to take into account. They enter Reddit for example or CNN and the iPhone is the clear winner in all the tests.

When executing a series of applications, without stopping, the iPhone ends up taking out a few remalcables for ten seconds, but something that draws our attention is that in the case of startuphe iPhone is clearly superior, the device from the apple company starts after a complete shutdown considerably faster than the Galaxy S8. In fact, we have observed that the Galaxy S8 is slightly faster in Google applications, but an almost negligible difference, nothing compared to what happens when the iPhone loads Ubisoft games, or for example Adobe photo editing applications, where the iPhone is once again showing considerably faster.

In fact, we might end up determining that The Samsung Galaxy S8 is only able to open faster than the iPhone 7 Plus those applications owned by Google or Samsung, and in fact, the difference is laughable if we consider how quickly the iPhone 7 Plus opens the rest of the applications.

However A very decisive point to take into account is the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S8, despite having a higher gross power, also has a Super AMOLED screen with higher resolution, even though Samsung has forced the device to boot to 1080p Full HD (like the iPhone). In short, when push comes to shove, when they perform the Benchmark, the iPhone scores 3.478 monocore points, almost double the 1.846 monocore points of the Galaxy S8. And in the multicore performance we find an almost identical score. In short, the big changes to the Galaxy seem more focused on the screen and the design, than on the raw performance in general.

Does this mean that the Galaxy S8 is not a powerful phone? Nothing is further from reality, we are facing one of the biggest beasts on the market, especially if we take into account that it runs Android under Samsung's own customization layer, which in itself has enough merit. However, despite being a device six months older, the iPhone 7 Plus continues to reign in power.
