With the Galaxy S8 expected to be announced next week and the iPhone 8 not hitting markets until much later in the year, the iPhone 7 stands to be Samsung’s biggest competitor. Samsung and Apple have especially influenced each other during its most recent product launches. Apple has adopted features such as water resistance, which was typically considered an Android and particularly Samsung characteristic. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S8 is expected to feature a dual-lens camera, which Apple introduced on the iPhone 7 in 2016. How similar will the Galaxy S8 be to Apple’s current iPhone 7? Take a look at out by-the-figures specs comparison.
