OnePlus 3T or Galaxy S7?

My iPhone 6 battery is on its way out so I'm looking to replace it. Thanks to Apple's ridiculous decision to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7, I'm out. I've only had iPhones since 2010 except for a brief stint with Windows Phone 8.1 which didn't last long due to the serious lack of useful apps for the platform. So I'm a complete Android newbie but at least I know that the apps shouldn't be much of a problem this time.

I'm stuck trying to decide between the 128GB OnePlus 3T and the Galaxy S7. I've looked at reviews of both and it seems the screen and camera are better on the S7 but the 3T has the better OS and sound quality. Rooting or modding doesn't interest me so that doesn't come into the decision at all. Any recommendations?

The issue of updates is surprising me though, being used to Apple's instant update availability. I don't really like the idea of being at Vodafone's mercy for updates so I assume that I'd have to buy the phone SIM free? (which for the S7 would be seriously steep!)

Also, what's the situation with wired headphones on Android devices? Is it possible to control volume or playback as with iOS devices?

I recently got rid of my +2 for a s7 and im getting rid of it soon as I can get an unlock code from Vodafone next month, probably going to get the +3t.

The S7 has charging and heating issues.

For me has to be the 3T

I don't have any charging or heating issues with the S7.

my missus is on her 3rd, luckily Work are supplying them straight back to Vodafone (these are all sealed new in boxes) btw.

I went with the S7 in the end because, thanks to a €250 gift voucher, I was able to get one SIM free for less than the 3T. Will take a fair bit of getting used to, a couple of things bugging me already but hopefully not insurmountable.

Anything particular in the bugging you department we might be able to help?

I think I sorted one thanks to Google. It was connecting to every open WiFi network I passed.

Lack of a night mode is an issue, I used the Night Shift feature on the iPhone 6 so I'm finding this to be harder on my eyes. May just need to get used to not having it.

Night mode is a ROM by ROM thing.

Try Twilight Karsini, might help a bit
