iPhone 7 Beats Galaxy Note 7 in Real-Life Speed Test [Video]



Apple’s iPhone 7 is faster than the Galaxy Note 7 in real life. The results of the recent speed test performed by PhoneBuff prove that the newly-released phone is much better at opening apps, editing videos, and keeping open games and applications active in the background.

This difference becomes even more surprising if we take a look at the specs of both devices.
