If there is one undeniable truth in the world of Android smartphones, it is that Samsung owns it and is currently the number one smartphone in the world. However, the Chinese manufacturer Huawei, so far…
Indeed, the third-placed person in the same ranking is aiming high and already plans to become world No. 1 in 5 years, thus surpassing the second manufacturer Apple and its top-ranked Korean competitor.
Unveiling the Huawei P9 yesterday, it keeps this philosophy in mind, highlighting its performance and design and only comparing it directly to the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6S. Therefore, we recommend that you have a firm idea of the question without the conference language.

Galaxy S7 display remains unrivaled
If there’s one area where Samsung phones are unbeatable, it’s the screen. With the Galaxy S7, the Korean manufacturer has once again outdone itself by offering Quad HD resolution in a premium 5.1 inch Super AMOLED.
In this area and by offering largely the same format, the Huawei P9 will not be able to overcome this with its efficient but classic 5.2-inch LCD, but only full hd. While the difference in resolution is not obvious, Super AMOLED really changes the situation.
Two different philosophies in photography
The Huawei P9, Galaxy S7 and LG G5 will all struggle to be the best camera phone of the year, each offering a different value. Looking at the numbers, it’s easy to believe that the P9 is more advantageous compared to the Galaxy S7.
But in reality it is not. You see, the front and rear sensors of the Galaxy S7 and their Photosites at 1.4µm they are far from falling behind the competition at the moment and offer the best performance in all possible conditions thanks to more light capture.
This does not mean that the latest smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer is left behind, because it can take advantage in the style of photos. The dual RGB and monochrome sensor will indeed allow for better capture of contrasts and ultimately more professional looking photos.
Therefore, deciding between them will be extremely difficult in this area and will certainly be a matter of taste. However, in the absence of a comprehensive test, we will talk about equality even though each has different strengths and weaknesses.
Ultra slim and frameless design for P9
It’s in the design where phones really come together. Two contestants one similar format Close to 5 inches, but don’t wear the same clothes. The Galaxy S7 uses the same design language as its predecessor.
The Huawei P9 is a very simple, slightly rounded design that emphasizes grip and thinness above all, but accentuates its screen thanks to thin bezels of 1.7mm (3.07mm for S7) and a thickness of 6.95mm (7.9mm). phone offers. mm for Galaxy S7).
Samsung’s latest smartphone has the advantage of being incredibly resistant to submersion, making it more resistant to the little blunders of everyday life. Both devices have a 3000 mAh battery, which allows each to have very good autonomy.
The biggest difference is the price
Of course, the real difference between the two phones is in the price. Who says all the know-how of a manufacturer in a high-end smartphone is a painful bill… And in this segment, Samsung isn’t the most affordable product it has to offer. Galaxy S7 €699.
While we may be disappointed that the Huawei P9 is more expensive than rumored, €549 for a phone like this makes it still an affordable product in 2016, offering much improved technique, as we’ve seen before. sheet.
It is also obvious that the Galaxy S7 has some advantages. But the most surprising thing is that there aren’t that many against the P9, which need not be embarrassed for a second of comparison to its direct rival. For 150€ lesssecond, it should really make you think before choosing one or the other of these devices.
