Every new iPhone built by Apple brings with itself an air of excitement. The Apple’s flagbearer, is the biggest, best smartphone Apple has built till date. The iPhone 7 Plus looks the way you would expect a flagship smartphone to look like, and has a typical air of refinement that we have come to expect of iPhones. With all of this in sight, what the iPhone 7 Plus is aiming for is the title of the best smartphone in the world right now. Do we get there? Well, quite so. Here’s why.
The dual-camera setup
The iPhone 7 Plus brings with itself two, 12-megapixel main cameras that work in tandem and separately to present 2x optical zoom, along with improving image details and noise. The 12-megapixel primary image sensor that accompanies the 28mm, f/1.8 wide angle lens is a 1/3-inch type CMOS sensor, and the 12-megapixel image sensor accompanying the 56mm, f/2.8 telephoto lens is a 1/3.6-inch type sensor.Typically, these are smaller sensors than the ones used by the likes of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (1/2.5-inch type), Google Pixel XL (1/2.3-inch type) and LG G5 (1/2.6-inch type), which on paper may mean that low light performance would suffer. However, Apple has always aced noise cancellation, keeping an optimum balance of light, colours, noise and sharpness in the photographs that it shoots.

Performance
The Apple A10 Fusion SoC is a quad-core unit, paired with 3GB of RAM - the highest ever on an iPhone. This is a clear intent from Apple to put more focus on flawless performance and higher multitasking capabilities, as even till mid-2015, its flagship had only 1GB of RAM.

iPhone 7 Plus is as good and fast as smartphones get. 3D Touch adds to the intuitive performance, and actually makes the most of iOS 10’s features. Apple wants you to use 3D Touch on its lockscreen widgets, and the higher amount of RAM and bigger display make it a wholesome, synchronised experience. For instance, you can easily hard press on a notification to respond to it directly from the lockscreen, without the need to open the app or unlocking the screen. However, for iMessages and text messages, no security authentication is required, and although you cannot access device contacts through this, anyone with access to your phone can reply to a message without your knowledge. This seems to be an inadvertent flaw on iOS 10, something that Apple may want to look into. Other apps like WhatsApp and Display
The 5.5-inch, 1080x1920-pixel Retina display has a smoother touch feedback than before, and the fluidity of the touch response really sets it apart from a lot of other flagship smartphones. The colour balance is pleasant, and the slight warmth makes the screen pleasant to look at. The iPhone 7 Plus now produces higher contrast, brighter whites and deeper blacks than its previous editions, all of which combine to make it look incredibly crisp. require Touch ID or passcode to reply.

On an average, a full charge of the 2900mAh battery pack lasts for about 20 hours, with over two hours of gaming, two hours of music streaming, an hour of video streaming, over 30 calls, extensive messaging and over 20 minutes of navigation. The iPhone 7 Plus lasts significantly longer, and certainly more than 24 hours, with lighter usage.
As with every iPhone, the iPhone 7 Plus charges really fast, and the battery charges fully in just about 40 minutes. The iPhone 7 Plus is a decent improvement over the questioned battery performance of iPhones, although the iPhone 6s Plus delivers similar results in battery life. You will mostly end up keeping Bluetooth switched on because of the lack of a headphone jack, which eats more into battery life of the iPhone 7 Plus.
