whether it's worth buying iphone 7 plus
in 2021
and should you consider iphone 7 plus
over new midranger phones like galaxy
m31s
oppo f17 pro or any other midranger
phone from other brands at that price
segment
iphone 7 plus can now be bought for as
low as 290
or 22 000 indian rupees or even for 15
000 rupees in the used phone market
and still a decent phone for its price
and is a perfect phone for those who
want to buy an iphone at an affordable
price
i have compared iphone 7 which has
similar specs as the iphone 7 plus
to many midrange phones on my channel
and in most of the videos iphone 7
emerged as a clear winner in gaming
performance and the newest one is i
compared my iphone 7 to galaxy m31
which is available at nearly the same
price point of a used iphone 7 plus
and the iphone 7 won in the gaming test
you can watch the video by clicking on
the card on the top right corner
iphone 7 plus is running on ios 14.3
which is the latest ios version
and most probably it will be updated
till ios 15 so that's a good news for
existing and future owners of iphone 7
plus
and since it's running on ios 14 you can
see the widgets and app library
and ios 14 has brought some really great
features like picture in picture mode
for youtube
improved series interface improved
security and a whole lot of new features
i have used iphone 7 plus as a primary
device for one year in the past
and i started using it again for last
few days for this video
and one thing i like about this phone is
that it can handle any task easily
there's no lag or slow down although
this phone has received four major
updates from ios 10 to ios 14
but the downside is i am getting just
seven to eight hours of battery backup
on this four year old device with full
day wifi whatsapp facebook instagram
and some youtube usage as it has a just
2900 mah battery
which is quite low compared to today's
standards the phone still looks premium
with front glass aluminium frame and
aluminum back panel
it's available in gold matte black red
silver and shiny black color as well
and it's also ip67 certified water and
dust resistant
at the bottom is the mic speaker grille
and lightning port
on the left is the mute unmute button
and volume buttons
you get the lock button and the sim card
slot on the right side
at the back is a dual 12 megapixel
camera setup with cord led dual tone
flash
at the front is a 7 megapixel camera and
earpiece which also acts as a speaker as
this phone has stereo speakers
the phone is slightly uncomfortable to
use by one hand but many people still
prefer the old school design with touch
id over new iphones with notch
talking about performance it is still a
powerpack performer and can handle
latest hand games without any issue
iphone 7 plus is powered by apple a10
fusion chip with quad-core processor and
power vr series 7 hd plus 6 core
graphics gpu
it is available in 3 storage options
32gb 128gb and 256gb
all paired with 3gb of ram apple a10
fusion is still a decent powerful
processor for gaming
you can play high-end games on this
phone without any issue there's no lag
or frame drops and the games run on high
graphics
same goes with free fire free fire works
on ultra graphics with everything set to
full settings
the graphics look stunning the game runs
smoothly there is no shuttering or
graphic loading issue of objects that
are far away
this can be a perfect device for gamers
while tight on budget but want a good
gaming device
but the only downside is that while
paying free fire it gave just 4 hours of
battery backup
and if you are concerned about pubg then
its a delight for pubg lovers as well
as it can run pubg on hdr mode with high
fps whereas none of the mid-rangers
which are available for 20k like real me
7 pro
can run hdr mode with high fps also
being a metal phone
it heats up slightly but that doesn't
affect its performance and that's not a
big issue as it's a common story with
every glass or metal phone
and for all those social media edits
social media apps like snapchat and
instagram works flawlessly the filters
load quickly there isn't any lag or
anything
same goes with instagram instagram works
without any issue
there's no frame drop or lag while
scrolling through pages or while zooming
into images
now talking about the camera this phone
has a dual camera setup a 12 megapixel f
1.8 aperture camera with face detection
autofocus
and optical image stabilizer and a 12
megapixel f 2.8 aperture telephoto lens
with 2x optical zoom
there are some basic features in the
stock camera app like time lapse live
photo hdr mode
live filters panorama and 240 fps slow
motion video
you can shoot 4k videos upto 30 fps
you also get portrait mode which can
still capture better portrait shots than
some of the latest mid-ranges
at the front is a 7 megapixel f 2.0
aperture selfie camera with phase
detection autofocus
which can shoot 1080p resolution videos
you also get live photo live filters and
time lapse in the front camera as well
so let's check out some camera samples
iphone 7 plus was the camera king of its
time
and still captures some decent shots and
that's evident looking at the camera
samples
the colors look natural there are loads
of details and the daytime pictures on
this four year old device look amazing
portrait photos are still great for a
four year old device the edge detection
is good and the color tones are well
maintained
hdr photos look decent the sun area gets
slightly blown out but the foreground
details are well maintained
indoor photos are impressive low light
photos look decent and even in extremely
dark conditions
this phone still takes better shots than
some of the latest mid-rangers
but one thing that's missing is the
night mode which could have helped to
take even better shots
selfies are decent on this one indoor
shots look good but during outdoor shots
under direct sunlight
the hdr doesn't work properly as seen on
the picture on the left
for security it comes with touch id
which is extremely fast and secure
watching videos on iphones has always
been great thanks to the retina displays
and it's true with iphone 7 plus as well
iphone 7 plus has a 5.5 inch retina ips
lcd display with 1080 by 1920 resolution
and 401 ppi density the video looks
crisp displays bright colors are
saturated
and it has a good contrast ratio
the viewing angle is also decent by the
way and to sum up in the end whether you
should buy iphone 7 plus in 2021
then yes it's still a powerful
smartphone which you can use for high
level gaming
it can easily do your daily tasks and
has a decent camera
but the only downside is the battery
backup for people with normal usage the
phone will last for a day
but for heavy consumers you may need to
charge your device twice a day
it's a perfect phone for those who want
to own an iphone but at an affordable
price
