If there is any smartphone manufacturing company that is tough competition for an Apple product, then it is Samsung. Since ages, the world has been largely divided into Apple fans and Samsung fans. Recently, the comparison and competition has reached its highest peak with the anticipation and expectations hooked onto Apple's iPhone 7 and Samsung's Galaxy S7, both flagship devices of the companies.
Although no confirmation has been made about the launch of both the smartphones, these are only assumptions and rumours based on the previous records of the companies. Here are the comparisons drawn between the two devices, including when they will be supposedly launched and their specifications:
- Release: While Apple iPhone 7 is expected to be unveiled in September this year, Galaxy S7 will not be launched until 2016. Moreover, the launch of S7 may also depend on the launch of iPhone 7 since the companies are rivals.
