The Apple iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy S6 are joined by the Sony Xperia Z5 for this three-way fight.

In practice, the Amoled display viewing angle also not privacy, I can watch their screen by next table, the IPS is better because the viewing angle is good but not reach to next table guys can read the contents, it good for sharing contents but still having privacy. Then how many time you will sharing the contents with...? you dont..so why!

          The in-plane switching (IPS) is latest tech and more durable than LCD and used by Apple Iphone series and Xperia series too.

          The Amoled display cons:
          1--Uses dramatically more power when displaying a white-themed screen
          2--At high resolutions, cost and longevity concerns means that a 'pentile' layout is often used, leading to slightly fuzzy text and a lower than nominal resolution
          3--In some cases, users have seen 'burn in' of UI elements, due to natural degradation of the organic polymers in the AMOLED pixels
          4--Brightness can reduce in time (several years)
          5--Tend to be more expensive to manufacture than LCD
          6--Limited in pixel density and resolution

            Dual heatpipes, 09 Nov 2015DISPLAY Amoled display is burn-in problem 1--https://yo... moreBurn-in really isn't that common. Only in stores where they keep a phone on 24 hours a day on full brightness displaying the same thing.

            And according to the link you gave then the s6 is even less likely than any other Amoles displays.

                    The amoled display will suffer from the burn-in problem, if you play your favourite game for a long time the burn-in issue is there.

                        Amoled is the next technology. in the future, all displays will be flexible and also "rollable". you cant achieve this with lcd. soon or later your sony will use amoled too, no other ways.

                            meh, 09 Nov 2015wich camera do you mean?sony. if you look at the full size picture (not cropped or not resized), you'll notice blurry edges in there.
                            The cropped picture looks very good. but if you see the actual size, you'll see the weakness.

                                The Amoled "can"and likely won't burn in. Not "will".

                                Sorry but Xperia ui has plenty of its own "bloat" as well as the S6 ' is not that bulky.
                                And the S6 has the edge with the Exynos.

                                Wanna fail again?

                                    After you update you IOS/Android version,you will know which is the better one. Because the Samsung software update is very bad due to the bulky UI. Xperia UI is very lightweight, my kitkat and now the lollipop is very smoothy and I can waiting to the Marshmallow:) . The Samsung phones after update always feel like distaster, if you don't believe, please get the deserve software update yourself. Then the IOS also get slow after update to IOS 9.
