The analysis
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a beautiful design paired with powerful specs, decent battery capacity, and great cameras (Dual Pixel tech) thats worthy of a flagship moniker at its price tag.Apples iPhone 7 Plus on the other hand has several improvements in speed, display, water resistance, and inclusion of a dual camera module (12 MP regular + 12 MP wide telephoto lens) behind. However, its still the most expensive of the bunch and doesnt have a headphone jack anymore.
Lastly, Huaweis P9 is impressively capable even if its the most affordable among the 3. We were surprised on its high-level of craftsmanship / design (arguably sleeker than iPhone 7 Plus and just lag a tad with S7 Edge), speedy performance, long battery life, security features, and great 12 MP RGB + 12 MP Monochrome cameras at the back.

Verdict
On the other hand, Apples iPhone 7 Plus didnt have much change in its design , but it focused on upgrading almost everything else inside. So, even with the lack of a headphone jack, this handset is still the one to get for Apple users.
To our surprise, the Huaweis P9 showed us that it can keep-up with its competitors in aesthetics, performance, battery, and camera even if it has a lower price tag.
In the end, based on what we discussed, all 3 phones are GREAT in their own way. Just choose, the right phone that fits you, your budget, and lifestyle.
