Samsung Galaxy S7 vs OnePlus 2: Price, features and specs comparison

OnePlus is known for providing high-end specifications on smartphones. In line with it is the One Plus 2 released in August 2015. On the other hand, there is Samsung's latest device Galaxy S7 with top notch specs and exceptional performance. We have pitted both of them against each other. Let's see how do they perform:

OnePlus 2 Specs

The OnePlus 2 comes along with a 5.5" IPS LCD display screen. The phone comes with Dual-SIM capabilities, just like the Galaxy S7, but is heavier as well as thicker than it. The OnePlus 2 weighs 175 grams in weight and measures 9.9mm in thickness; that's 2 mm thicker than the Galaxy S7. The phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset that has two quad-core processors Cortex-A53 (clocks at 1.56GHz) and Cortex-A57 (clocks at 1.82GHz). Graphics on the smartphone are powered by an Adreno 430 GPU kit, and you can pick between 16GB ($250) and 64GB ($350) of internal storage. The 16GB variant houses a 3GB RAM whereas the 64GB variant has a 4GB RAM.

The rear end of the OnePlus 2 sports a 13MP camera lens with Optical Image Stabilization, face detection, auto-focus as well as dual-LED flash. The back of the phone houses a 5MP camera for selfies. Although you'd have to endure a little extra weight, the phone packs a 3,300mAh battery, which is 300mAh more than the Galaxy S7, and provides a talk time of up to 20 hours on 3G networks. The OnePlus 2 is available in one color, Sandstone Black and runs Android Lollipop 5.02, which runs Oxygen 2.2.1 UI atop it.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specs

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was made available this year and comes with a 5.1" Super AMOLED display screen, with the same resolution as the OnePlus 2. The phone comes in two variants, one powered by an Exynos 8890 chipset with two quad-core chips, Mongoose that clocks at 2.15GHz and Cortex-A53 that clocks at 1.6GHz, with a Mali-TP 880 MP12 GPU kit. The other variant comes along with a Snapdragon 820 chipset with two dual-core Kyro processors that clock at 2.15GHz and 1.6GHz respectively, with an Adreno 530 GPU kit. The Galaxy S7 is available with 32GB ($645) and 64GB ($949) of internal storage to choose from, both of which come along with a 4GB RAM.

The back of the Galaxy S7 has a 12MP camera with improved low-light imaging capabilities and a lot of attention to detail. The lens is supported with a dual-LED flash as well as autofocus and Optical Image Stabilization. The front camera is 5MP and also comes up with good quality images. The phone is powered by a 3,000mAh battery that provides you with a talk time of about 23 hours on a 3G network. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is available in the colors of Silver, Gold, Pink Gold, Black and White. The phone comes pre-loaded with Android Marshmallow 6.0 along with TouchWiz UI on top of it.

Conclusion

While the Galaxy S7 can cost you an arm and a leg, the OnePlus 2 comes along with a modest price tag and more than acceptable features. If you do not find the need to have the very latest smartphone, the OnePlus 2 makes a good pick, although Samsung has a box of new-age features like three-channel aggregation for better data transfer speeds, support for VR as well as the new Always On feature.
