Apple iPhone 6s Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+: Double positive

15 October, 2015
3D Touch or curved Edge screen? Metal or glass? LCD or AMOLED? iOS or Android? Speed and silky-smooth response or heavy-duty multitasking? These are the questions and no one’s got better answers than you. And if the answers consistently put you on this or that side of the line, you know all there is to know.

      The curved screen gets annoying and the software for it is gimmicky. Holding the phone without a case is unpleasant after a time. It got really hot and lagged from time to time, badly enough to look as if it was frozen for a few seconds.

      I replaced it with the Note 5, which is more comfortable, does not get as hot and strangely, it seems to take better quality photos that the Edge did. I don't use the pen.

        In the real world, when having to chose between the Galaxy or the iPhone, a lot more people buy the iPhone, which means that they really think it's the better device.

        In this case, there is really no room for debate, says you....

        Cheers.

            JD, 16 Oct 2015You SamboysFanboys think that mobile is all about hardware.... morespoken like a true isheep. first off the best way to gauge the seamless work of hardware and software meshing , is actually in the camera. since it is mostly post processing that determines the outcome of the hardware, and why 2 identical set ups on different phones , can either be great or absolutely horrible. so to say it is flawless is a little far fetched since most the problems with the camera seem to be post processing , which could be corrected with the proper software updates. minus the detail resolution thats just lens/Mp count, a little trickier to software up that one.

                                Anonymous, 16 Oct 2015The Galaxy won majority of everything.... That's not close. Won everything?

                                If you like it, get one. But relying on a random sample of people on who automatically pic the brightest and most saturated photo is hardly indicative of quality, at least in cases like this.

                                It's similar to going to a big box store and picking the LCD TV with the most garish colors, because it "pops" for you.

                                I have the Note 5 and I do like the camera a lot, but in many respects the iPhone s6+ is a match, and at times, better.

                                So, yeah, both cameras are really good, but the iPhone is overall better designed and made (I had an s6Edge before the Note 5), so for many people it would be the better buy.

                                Cheers.

                                    Good review. Both phones are so close it comes down to OS preference. If you like Android = TouchWiz, get the Samsung. If you iOS and the ecosystem & community, get iPhone.

                                      Uh... technical inaccuracy in your articles.

                                      It's about the photo stills, and the image quality portion. If you cut away the extra edges, the Samsung phone actually has lower resolution (4032 x 2988) as compared to the iphone (4032 x 3024).

                                      Hence, if you use 100% crops from both phones, the iphone actually has a higher resolution. It is utterly silly to conclude that you can see more details because of higher resolution on the Samsung phone. Any technically competent person should see that in actual fact, for a lower resolution sensor, the Samsung phone actually has better resolving power and gets better details than the higher (comparable FOV) resolution of the iphone.
