iPhone 7 V.S. Android Phones

With so many flagship-quality Android phones on the market it would be tiresome to go over all the differences individually. It seems like iPhone 7 should meet or exceed the market in terms of processor performance, memory, base level storage, and camera performance.

The iPhone 7's IP67 water-resistance does give it a big leg up over many other Android phones, as very few are built to that spec. The improved camera should also pay dividends, especially as many top Android phones such as the LG G5 and Huawei-built Nexus 6P had passed the iPhone 6S by in this department. The Samsung S7 and Note 7 are the best we've tested in this regard, so if Apple can get on that level it'll beat out the rest of the Android field—especially with the iPhone 7 Plus's dual camera setup.

The two areas where the iPhone continues to lag behind the best Android phones are screen performance and battery features. Most Android phones these days have at least a 1080p screen, while only the iPhone 6S Plus and 7 Plus offer that. Most also use OLED technology, which offers improves black levels while matching the iPhone for maximum brightness and daytime visibility.

IPhones also lack a headphone jack, removable batteries, and expandable storage, which are all something you can get on some Android phones.
