Apple iPhone 7 Plus Review
Let’s today review Apple beast the iPhone 7 Plus Review
The amazing phone for apple fan boys, feature phone for Android guys.
As we know apple is best at their software optimisation and RAM management. Started its sale in India from 7th October at 7 PM. You can order it from Flipkart , Amazon and other leading online retailers.
Apple iPhone 7 Plus comes with 5.5 inch Full HD Display, 3 gigs of ram, dual camera setup, first time stereo speakers introduced in phone.
Starting with the internals, iPhone 7 plus is powered with Apple A10 fusion chip with Aderno 530 GPU and 3 GB RAM. It comes with iOS 10 out of the box. The optimisation of software and hardware is so amazing that Samsung S7 edge with 4 gigs of RAM can’t compete with its speed.
Now taking about externals, it comes with 5.5 inch Full HD display, 7 MP front camera, dual 12 MP camera setup on back and nothing on top. At bottom, primary microphone, speaker grille and lighting port.
Display
Apple iPhone 7 Plus is having Full HD display. It is good and crisp display but in android we get 2K (Quad HD) even from LG G3 era. In same price range Samsung S7 spots 2K display.
Camera
It is having dual 12 MP camera as one is normal 28 mm lens with f/1.8 and another 56 mm with f/2.8 aperture to provide best in class optical zoom.
Front Camera is 7 MP sensor. It is good but when compared with Samsung S7, iPhone has less wide angle lens which is not perfect for Group Selfies.
Design
It’s 5.5 inch display but extra bezel makes phone uncomfortable to hold and difficult to operate with single hand use. Also dual camera setup increases to 188 grams which feel quite heavy for 5.5 display. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack in this phone. First time Apple introduced stereo speakers in headset and earpiece also works as a second speaker like HTC Boom sound in HTC 10. iPhone 7 Plus is a water resistant with IP 68 rating.
Storage
iPhone 7 Plus is available in 32GB/128GB/256GB variants. This year there is no 64 GB variant. If someone with tight budget goes for 32 GB version, might feel less storage and there is no option for storage expansion. In android almost every phone has option for memory expansion with dedicated slot or hybrid slot. Apple OTG accessories are also expensive as compared to android.
Battery
iPhone 7 Plus spots 2900 mAh battery. Major drawback is that iPhone still not have fast charging support that is available in almost every android phone even ₹7000 phone has fast charging. iPhone being a premium phone also does not have wireless charging.
7 cons of iPhone 7 Plus
- No notification LED
- No fast charging
- More Bezels (uncomfortable shape)
- No wide angle Front camera
- Still Full HD display
- Heavy weight (188g)
- 2900 mAh battery
Pricing
Apple iPhone 7 Plus is a premium device. It comes in Gold, Rose Gold, Black and Jet Black colours. 32 GB at ₹72000, 128 GB at ₹82000, 256 GB at ₹92000. Jet Black is only available in 128 GB and 256 GB variants but it is sort of fingerprint magnet.
Final Verdict
iPhone 7 Plus is a good device with best RAM management and stable OS. It’s best premium device available in this range. As we know Samsung Note 7 is dead, you can have a look on this device. But you have to compromise with some basic features like no notification LED, no fast charging, no headphone jack. Overall it depends upon your preference. You can also consider Samsung S7 Edge, Google Pixel and Pixel XL.
