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.

Its so simple to revert back to non jailbroken state and then have a warranty back basically. Actually, on the subject, in order to totally free Android device u have to root it but as far as I remember on Sams devices once you root ur phone there is footprint left in Knox and ur warranty is gone permanently... This is really b-a-d for users...

        By far the best comparison review by gsmarena in my opinion. U guys just keep getting better at it....I am an android fan but still I am unbiased towards both....and that's the way I wanna read my reviews...without any bias...truly informative..but one thing
        The performance aspect on apple 6plus is really making me think again... I own a moto turbo...and I am such a heavy user that I drain its battery in 6-7 hours...worried about that in apple devices

            They both suck by not being WATERPROOF and by not having SD card. PERIOD.
            But if some guy would come and tell me that I would get one for free, I would choose Samsung. The design is totally better than iPhone's.
            GO SONY! :D

                I have both, and I think that aesthetically the Edge+ it's so much superior than iPhone, iPhone feels heavy and uncomfortable, IOS has superior performance,A9 is a beast like editors say, but Android it's getting closer each year.

                              Don't take wrong, a pen is great but I mostly prefer it on a tablet. So -to me- it's (literally) dead weight. If it was not pricier I would had bought edge+ any day.

                              Also if I really wanted a pen I would had bought Note 4 Exynos. Very similar SoC to Note 5's (just a few MHz down) but also it has additionally removable battery and SD

                                AnonD-5666, 15 Oct 2015This is what happens when some uneducated guy writes an art... moreWell if you didn't bother to read, that makes you the uneducated one. The article didn't mention anything about those two phones being the first at hybrid / phase detection autofocus. It is still a great feature though and needed to be mentioned in this article.

                                About heart rate / oxygen saturation / airview, if you don't use it or you can't use it, doesn't mean other people are too. A distinctive feature is still a plus compared to those without it, whether people use it or not because that is very subjective.

                                  LOL!

                                  All those questions in the beginning of the article, well those are good questions, other than one all the answers will be in favour of S6 Edge+'s anyway, but those are irrelevant to me, cause that other phone is made by Apple.

                                  Touching another one of those, again, will give me cancer.

                                      I own the S6 Edge Plus and I've had no issue with overheating, lag or finger print sensor issues. So far, and I use it frequently, It is a very good phone. I think the curved edges make it easier to handle and it has a very easy user interface. The camera alone is top notch. I get compliments all the time on photos I've taken. I've had the phone for over two months as well. I have used Apple and I have no gripe with their product. I just feel Samsung has a better product for me.

                                        This is what happens when some uneducated guy writes an article.

                                        "Phase-detection autofocus" is available in Samsung models from S5-era. I didn't even read any other pages when so-called tech writers make such basic mistakes. I wonder where they got their jounalism degree from.

                                        "Heart rate and oxygen saturation sensors" are not something to be mentioned as positives. They are gimmicks, same as 3D Touch. Samsung had "Air View" in past, which was again similar - uselsss.
