Apple iPhone 6s Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+: Double positive
Double positive
Battery life
This year's Apple had to trim down the battery of both iPhones in order to keep the footprint the same and yet put a new screen technology inside. The new Apple iPhone 6s Plus is powered by a 2,750mAh battery, a downgrade from the 2,915mAh unit inside the original 6 Plus model.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ has a beefy 3,000mAh battery unit, but it has a bigger, higher-resolution screen. Sure, it's an AMOLED unit, but it can still affect the overall battery life.
Anyway, our battery test shows a minor 2.5% difference in the Endurance rating - the Apple iPhone 6s Plus gets 85 hours, while the Galaxy S6 edge+ scores 83 hours.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ offers double the talk time of the iPhone 6s Plus.

In the end, it's the iOS' efficient standby that allows the iPhone 6s Plus to remain this close to the Galaxy S6 edge+. Android has more lax multitasking rules, which enables plenty of (often helpful) background services to run as much as they need but that does have an impact on battery life.
Perhaps battery life in a mixed use scenario would be quite comparable on the two phones, but the Galaxy S6 edge+ will have an advantage if you tend to do a lot of talking.
The endurance rating assumes using the phone for one hour of talking, web browsing and video watching per day. Such usage pattern is of course entirely artificial, but we've established it so our battery results are comparable across devices. Our proprietary score also includes a standby battery draw test, which is not featured in our battery test scorecard but is calculated in the total endurance rating. Our battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you want to learn more about it.
Winner: Tie. Both devices offer similar video playback and web browsing skills. While the iPhone can't last as much as the Galaxy S6 edge+ on 3G talks, it's the better standby performer. And that's why both phablets got an equal rating in our proprietary battery life test.
