The smartphone segment has been on a roll this year with some of the best devices hitting the store shelves. While leading smartphone manufacturers including Samsung, Oppo, Apple, Xiaomi, and LeEco wooed smartphone lovers with their latest flagship offerings this year, it remains to be seen what aces these tech firms have up their sleeves for 2017.

Just days away from 2016 coming to a close, here's a brief review comparison on two of the most popular smartphones this year.

While Samsung Galaxy S7 continued to remain as the South Korean tech firm's flagship, thanks to the Note 7 debacle, Oppo was also received very well this year with a series of launches. Let's pick the Oppo F1s, which is Oppo's latest release, for a comparison with Samsung Galaxy S7. Despite the vast price difference between these two smartphones, it makes sense for customers to take all the possible options into consideration.

Price

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is up for grabs for about $634. The Oppo F1s, on the other hand, bears a price tag of about $280.

Design

In addition to its classy look, the Samsung Galaxy S7 boasts a compact design that effortlessly fits in the hand. Moreover, the Galaxy S7 has glass on both sides and metal chassis, which gives the device a premium cosmetic appearance. The Galaxy S7 is also dust-resistant and waterproof. On the downside, it is likely to break quite easily, according to International Business Times.

The Oppo F1s is more durable as it is neither slippery like the Galaxy S7 smartphone nor is it too big to handle. It is housed in a full metal body, which boasts a shimmery matte finish on the rear. The F1s is, without an iota of doubt, a remarkable phone and is an apt choice for those who have the patience to use it with care.

Display

The Oppo F1s sports a 5.5-inch (diagonally) screen coupled with 720p HD resolution, which does not justify the steep price of the handset. For an average user, the lack of details is quite evident, particularly when watching a movie using the phone.

The Galaxy S7, on the other hand, comes with a 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED resolution. It features more vibrant and detailed colors than the F1s, which is hardly surprising --- considering its colossal jump from 720p to 2K resolution.

Camera

The Oppo F1s is an ideal smartphone for selfie addicts with a great front camera that is capable of capturing more details. The details on the Galaxy S7's main camera however, are lost. The aperture size for the Oppo F1s' camera is F2.2 and F1.7 for the Galaxy S7. Furthermore, the F1s' camera sensor size is 1/3.06", while the sensor size for the Galaxy S7 is 1/2.5", according to PhoneArena.

Battery

The Oppo F1s packs a 3075 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S7 features a robust 3600 mAh battery. However, the F1s is slightly faster as far as charging time is concerned.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Vs. Oppo F1s: Conclusion

The Galaxy S7 is ideal for those who are looking to use their smartphone for gaming and photography. Despite a low-res display and decent primary camera, the Oppo F1s does not let its users down either as it makes a great savings deal.
