I find the Apple 6S I purchased takes quite long to charge in comparison with Samsung S7.  I got a Samsung s7 also second hand - paid less for it than I did for Apple and like it more.  Particularly since it is a dual SIM card Samsung.  So looks as though I'm swinging back to Samsung - but an earlier model S7.

Turned out it was a battery problem.  I took the Apple 6S to an Apple Service Agent in Dubai.  They tested it completely.  I had bought it second hand and battery was wearing.  But looks as though an accident could have happened too as the person who tested it said the microphone was not working well - looks as though damage had occurred on the top side - maybe a fall.

I had purchased two Apples 6S - and then when I started to use the second one while the first one was having its battery replaced, that Apple 6S lasted much longer before needing a recharge.  I also asked for the second phone to be tested, and it aced all of the tests.  Just as well I got a second phone as ironically the shop that sold the first one had checked it through carefully, but didn't have a chance to check the second one. 

What's nice is that the Service Center recommended I try and upgrade the first Apple 6S - so I'm thinking of an upgrade to Apple 7S for the first one with the microphone issue.  I still think my Samsung S7 is a stronger phone than Apple 6S.  Camera takes nicer pictures for sure and the phone has more memory. Will be interesting to see how Samsung S7 compares with Apple 7S.
