iPhone 6s vs. Galaxy S6 vs. Xperia Z5: Monster Brawl

23 October, 2015
Some phones just can't be reviewed in a vacuum, the competition between them is so fierce – and their price tags so high – that they have to be compared against each other under a microscope to determine the best one for you. The Apple iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy S6 are joined by the Sony Xperia Z5 for this three-way fight.

"dont mind me im just taking 20 minute long 4k videos near the water then browse the net all day long and more on a device that's keeping me nice and toasty whist I do"

Seriously though, both of your comments just show how ridiculous the two of you must be, is the world really that simple in your perception??? are you really that child like???? if so I have a 4 year old son who you would be better suited to talking tech with (though I think he might have a more mature attitude and outlook than you).

Why GSMArena can't have a simple mandatory IQ test in place before allowing people to comment on here is beyond me, it would eliminate 90% of you window lickers straight away!

        gab, 26 Oct 2015wrong. just plain wrong. a "geek" would get a nexus, not a ... moreBut the S6 has a more powerful hardware than any Nexus except compared to Nexus 9. With the performance of S6 it gets to experiment software in a better way than in a phone like the Nexus 6 or 5x or even the 6p, because of it thermal overheating, because any of these have inferior hardware compared with S6. The Exynos SOC is a lot superior to the SOC's used in those Nexus phones.

                lacp, 25 Oct 2015As i know the Apple phones and Sony Xperia Z series phones ... morewrong. just plain wrong. a "geek" would get a nexus, not a s6. s6 and iP6 are for showy "look at me i have a new samsung/iphone" people, the z5 is more of a "dont mind me im just taking 20 minute long 4k videos near the water then browse the net all day long and more" people.

                      These phones are brilliant, period. Pick the one you like best - have someone guide you, but don't let anyone tell you what you need. You can't go wrong with any of them.

                                      IPhone 6s is very expensive and it's user interface is boring
                                      Samsung galaxy s6 can lag and freeze sometimes
                                      Sony is not so popular but the best from this phones and has micro sd and ps4 remote play

                                        not the first and for sure not the last time i see battles of brand new phones against old phones. so kinda the biggest reason i cant use these reviews for anything... but would have been nice to see those 2 against the new s6 edge plus or note 5.
