It's faster than its predecessor, has a better screen and more storage, and it's water-resistant. The new dual-lens camera is very good and the 2x optical zoom works brilliantly. About the only thing that hasn't really changed is the exterior design.

Somewhat akin to Intel, Apple has trained consumers on its "tick-tock" cadence of releasing a newly designed iPhone and following it up a year later with an optimized "s" variant. That's been the formula since the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS were released in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Blazing fast A10 Fusion SoC; higher-capacity storage options; IP67 dust and liquid protection; improved camera system; Taptic Engine is very convincing at simulating a physical button press; slightly larger battery

Poor quality secondary (stereo) speaker; third year with the same design; no headphone jack -- which didn't bother me but is a point of contention for some

The Huawei Nova 3i has a slick design, a great feel and is packed with top shelf features but without the flagship price. And the onboard camera will deliver excellent results as well. The device has a sleek, thin design with a bright 6.3-inch high resolution (2340 x 1080) display.

Sleek design; Cool Iris Purple colour; Excellent camera back by AI; Impressive performance; Fast Face Unlock and fingerprint reader

Not water resistant; No HDR Pro on the front cameras; No NFC; No USB-C port

On time delivery. Clean original product. No damages to package. Able to configure and upgrade iOS immediately ( only issue was not able to base ios version throwing some error. Upgraded by connecting to itunes as upgrade over direct wifi failed).

The phone and service by snapdeal was amazing , i emailed snapdeal that I wanted the phone to be delivered early because of my sisters birthday and they made it happens. I m a loyal customer to snapdeal now

Apple may have finally solved some of its battery woes with the staggering power pack in the iPhone 7 Plus

Fantastic battery life; great display for watching videos

Expensive handset with few updates; made our hands and wrists ache

The iPhone 7 Plus was announced at the same time as the iPhone 7, and is a follow-on from the iPhone 6 Plus. It features two 12 megapixel sensor cameras, each featuring a different lens, one of which is wide-angle, and one which is twice the focal length.

So Apple finally deigned to provide us with an iPhone 7 Plus review unit. The phone itself (plus the first reviews) came out several weeks ago so the interest in what we have to say will have waned somewhat by now. In fact, who's even going to bother reading this? Let's see?

Fast; Decent camera with great video; Good screen; Compatible with Apple ecosystem

Expensive; Portrait Mode is a mess; No headphone jack; Price hike for Australians; Siri feels old; No VR strategy
