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.

hey heatpipes. you can read z5 premium review in this site. the z5 premium review in page 5 states this:

", the Z5 Premium heats up like a champ and quite fast at that"

and this:

"Regardless whether we are copying files to the PC, running a single benchmark, or watching a video - the Z5 Premium gets unpleasantly hot in its upper part. It won't overheat, but we noticed considerable performance drop in some of the benchmarks (up to 30%) and we witnessed forced brightness lowering in order to avoid overheating."

Sony needs to make up to 10 updates to beat the other two's (hopefully) while the other two is just perfect without having an update.

                            That can be solved by clearing cache or doing factory reset.

                                itsme, 23 Nov 2015z5 is a great phone. But i6s and S6 are greater. I agree with you. S6 is better and cheaper than z5. The processor also better without overheat issue, so it doesnt need dual heat pipes.

                                  AnonD-303606, 22 Nov 2015For me, the S6 is still king of Android despite being the o... moreI disagree your comment.

                                  The Xperia software very good and it is lightweight, the software update always good too, the battery and the camera quality and many features also get improved, I am very happy Sony really did a good job!

                                  If you are a Samsung user you will know their update just like a mess and quite lag after update.Then the battery life will getting worse, this is same with the LG, they looks like want you spend money on their new phones.

                                  Then Apple IOS operate system is seldom get update and the IOS update also will slow down the performance, you also need to waiting for the jailbreak version release.

                                      People act like just because a device is better or someone points out yours is not the best as if it was a great insult or the end of the world.

                                      The Xperia is a great phone line and the z5 is top notch. They are the only ones that kind of match Samsung for tech and exceed most others in many ways.
                                      The S6 simply has more objective advantages. And yes the iPhone wins in a few categories but the xperia is still a more premium and useful device. If it had more and more precise calibration options and more matured imaging there iPhone would have even less over it.
