Also Dropbox have done a 50gb of free storage with Samsung phones over the past few years (free for 2 years with a new phone).

I had it with my S3 and also my S5 and looks like it still may be running: https://www.dropbox.com/help/297#what_is

I found it helpful for sharing large files, but I always use to do local backups to PC, external drives and DVD's as I'm always paranoid about loosing my photos and music.

Yeah, and i think it's fair to say that the S7 functionality outperforms the SE in every respect.
A valid viewpoint which (much to the apparent annoyance of Android fans!!!!!) very many people don't agree with.

Balanced reviews invariably put the S7 and iPhone very close - despite the specs of the S7 which should give it a clearer lead.

Shouldn't someone compare handsets that are of a similar size, given the screen for one thing is the bit you will look at hundreds of times a day.

Surely you need to decide on the screen size (and perhaps resolution, depending on your usage needs) before worrying about anything else?

Apple's budget handset or Samsung's flagship device?

No contest.

Still, let's look at the specs:

iPhone SE / Galaxy S7

4 inches / 5.1 inches
113g / 152g
Dual-core 1.84GHz / Octa-core 2.3 GHz
No card slot / microSD Card up to 256GB
5GB iCloud / 115GB OneDrive
16 or 64GB / 32 or 64GB
2GB RAM / 4GB RAM
12MP / 12MP
1624 mAh / 3000 mAh
None / Water + dust resistant
Specs aside, it would be really helpful to know a bit more about how that translates to real world use and performance.

What sorts of things can you do on the S7 that you can't do on the SE?

What sorts of things can you do better or faster on the S7 than the SE?

iPhone 7 vs S7 would be an equal fight but the SE just isn't in the same class especially if it is the 16gb model. The OP should keep the S7, bit is a no brainer as they already have an Android phone so are familiar with the OS.

I'd second this.

Between the 2 it would be down to personal preference, but it's not even worth considering the SE to the S7.

Reading back here, I'm not sure you might not be better rethinking, the choice of S7 vs. iPhone SE feels a bit odd.

If you'll use the features iPhone 6s or iPhone 7 vs. S7 would make sense.

If your use will be less intense, cheaper none flagship droids vs. iPhone SE makes sense.

I'm curious why you chose those two handsets to try - the deal maybe?

What features does the 6S have that the SE doesn't?

Its a pretty short list - the selfie camera isn't great, and the screen size is obviously smaller.

But it pretty much has the same internals as the 6S.

It has a few less LTE Bands compared to the 6s and lack of 3D Touch and whilst it supports up to 802.11AC Wi-Fi it's not MIMO.
