 iPhone 7 plus is still worth it in 2021 ? 

Hey what's up guys this time we will see whether it's worth buying iPhone 7 plus in 2021 and should you consider iPhone 7 plus over new midrange phones like Galaxy M31s, oppo f17 pro or any other midrange phone from other brands at that price segment. iPhone 7 plus can now be bought for as low as 290 $ or 22000 rupees or even for 15000 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 and in most of the it 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. 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 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 the last few days for this blog 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 aluminum 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 grill 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 a notch. talking about performance it is still a powerpack performer and can handle the latest 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 issues of objects that are far away. 

 

this can be a perfect device for gamers with a tight 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 addicts, 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 up to 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 face detection autofocus which can shoot 1080p resolution videos you also get live photos, live filters, and time-lapse. iPhone 7 plus was the camera king of its time and still captures some decent shots. The colors in the photo 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 face detection is good and the color tones are well maintained HDR photos look decent. 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. 

for security, it comes with a touch ID which is extremely fast and secure. watching videos on phones 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 X 1920 resolution and 401 PPI density. the video looks crisp, displays bright colors that are saturated and 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 that 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.
