![]() The problem comes when you’re shooting in average indoor lighting conditions, where the 2x camera falls down. Poor outdoor lighting they’re not quite as good as the standard camera, but still decent. In good outdoor lighting you can get some great shots. The other 2x camera, however, doesn’t perform nearly as well. The secondary camera on the back magnifies the image by two times. Charging overnight is recommended as topping up in the day takes a significant amount of time connected to the charger. From zero to 100% takes over three hours 20 minutes, when most of the competition gets it done in close to an hour. It’s one of the slowest charging smartphones available. Which is a good thing, because fully charging the iPhone 7 Plus takes ages. You will have to charge it each night, but unless you’re shooting 4K videos all the time, not during the day. That kind of battery life means that you can be confident it will get you home after a night out. It dropped about 5% in eight hours overnight with do not disturb mode active. Using it as my primary device with three hours of app usage and browsing, hundreds of emails and push notifications, a couple of photos, five hours of music over Bluetooth headphones and the odd game of Jetpack Joyride during my one hour and 20-minute train commute to and from work, it lasted an average of just under 27 hours between charges, meaning it made it to around 10.30am the next day. It feels a little bit faster than the iPhone 6S Plus in day-to-day activities, and significantly faster with some tasks such as photo processing in Prisma. It has more RAM, but the difference isn’t noticeable. The iPhone 7 Plus feels as snappy as the iPhone 7. One is a high-performance pair of cores the other is a pair of energy efficient cores.įor more on the A10 Fusion see the iPhone 7 review The iPhone 7 Plus has Apple’s new A10 Fusion processor, which, like most processors used in Android smartphones, has four processing cores split into two pairs. The bottom of the phone only has a single Lightning socket. SpecificationsĬamera: Dual 12MP rear cameras, 7MP front-facing cameraĬonnectivity: LTE, Wi-Fiac, NFC, IR, Bluetooth 4.2, Lightning and GPS The bottom speaker is just as easy to block too. It also has stereo speakers, which are louder than last year’s but do not provide good stereo separation. How waterproof are the iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S7 and smartwatches? It means that while going swimming with the iPhone 7 isn’t recommended, it will survive a drop into the washing up bowl or down the toilet. The iPhone 7 Plus, like its smaller sibling, is now waterproof to IP67 standards: 1m deep in fresh water for up to 30 minutes. The sim tray now has a small rubber gasket, which is one of only a few visible signs that the iPhone 7 Plus is waterproof. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve almost dropped the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S Plus and now the iPhone 7 Plus, when the same can’t be said of its modern competitors. That was the case for almost all phablets two years ago, but in 2016 you can have both a 5.5in or larger screen and make it manageable with one hand. At 77.9mm wide, with smooth rounded sides that feel nice but are slippery to try and grip, the iPhone 7 Plus is simply too wide for me to manage with a – not abnormal – hand span of 23cm. No matter how much you might consider a phablet a two-hand device, at some point you will have to use it with one hand and that’s when people tend to drop their smartphones. Why does width matter? The wider the device the harder it is to hold with one hand. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which has a larger 5.7in screen, is still 4mm narrower than the iPhone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Compared to rivals with the same 5.5in screen the iPhone 7 Plus is 77.9mm wide, which is 3.2mm wider than the OnePlus 3 and 5.3mm wider than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The iPhone 7 Plus is now a very large device despite the screen being one of the smallest for a phablet. The 5.5in 1080p screen is arguably the best LCD ever fitted to an iPhone - crisp, bright and colourful - but it has the same large bezels either side that the original iPhone 6 Plus had from 2014. The industrial design of the smartphone is now two years old, and it shows. The back also looks a bit plainer and somehow cheaper with the top and bottom plastic edges created by the antenna bands. There’s no headphone socket in the bottom, of course, and the antenna lines are a little less obvious, at least on the black version, but there’s still an ugly camera lump on the back, and that is even larger now. Side-by-side with either the iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6S Plus, you’d be hard pressed to tell them apart. ![]() Like with the iPhone 7, one place where Apple hasn’t made a lot of changes is to the design. The back of the iPhone 7 Plus is plain with plastic edges now that the antenna bands skirt its edges. ![]()
