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.

For me, the S6 is still king of Android despite being the oldest one. Camera and cpu is top notch. Thowing a custom rom on it and it's a beast.

I used to be a Sony fan but poor software and hardware compared to competition made me to move to other brands. Now I have S6 and iPhone 6 and like the S6 most

    For a Phone with no expandable memory and bank breaking price for higher storage capacity is also a deal breaker for S6.

        Looks like denial if still every where. Quite simply the S6 if much more advanced.

          DenisXD, 21 Nov 2015both s6 and iphone were more expensive than z5 at their 1st... moreBecause it's irrelevant. Might as well compare it to the z3 instead of the z5 if you think that's relevant. Taking an extra 8 months and releasing a phone at the end of a chipsets life cycle, meaning it will quickly get outdated and that it will be more expensive than it should be, is part of what the z5 is.

            AnonD-442781, 20 Nov 2015I'm guessing the number known as price also doesn't matter.... moreboth s6 and iphone were more expensive than z5 at their 1st months so you make no sense. I don't see you mentioning this fact.

              DenisXD, 19 Nov 2015lol lol lol? Try dropping your phone in water and let's see... moreI'm guessing the number known as price also doesn't matter. The s6 is significantly cheaper, most people don't drop their phone in water, even if they know it has ip67 rating, and the s6 also seems to have good water resistance anyway.

              The z5 certainly has its strong points, and if the phones were prices similarly due to having similar release dates or whatever, then it would be quite balanced. But given the price difference, the z5 falls way behind.

                Dual heatpipes, 19 Nov 2015I agree with you. Don't waste your time answering to them.. they don't worth the attention.

                    People who use their brain also think first before buying all expensive things. They wouldn't buy any expensive things but with lower performance score. They measure all technical things with number.
                    Old mad, you are the one who doesn't use your brain.

                        DenisXD, 19 Nov 2015do you also count your relationships with numbers?.. Seri... moreOr maybe you are the nephew that you just talked about, oldman.
                        S6 can stand long enough in a water, so does 6s. Nothing's special with it now, no need for Sony to being too vocal about that.
                        Faster is faster. Better is better. That's why human given a brain, to able find the truth, what is true or wrong, what is faster, better, what is fact. Grown up brain (as well as being sharpened) is get used with every little tiny detail.
                        Now, if you know what I mean..

                          abc, 19 Nov 2015lol. you will troll at s6 (and iphone) site? you can't even... moredo you also count your relationships with numbers?..
                          Seriously now.. you act like my 13 year old nephew..

                            abc, 19 Nov 2015lol lol lol lol. how do you count without number? everythi... morelol lol lol? Try dropping your phone in water and let's see if those numbers really matter. You are arguing about meaningless things like mobiles like they are your life! And even if they are, nowadays their differences are almost unnoticeable!
                            The one is faster by one second? Big deal get a grip.. what really matters is durability alongside everything, and Z5 really offers the most at the moment!

                            You have better display and faster processor? Good for you! Keep in mind that comparing them is like comparing blue colour with sea colour.. Use your head! Next year you'll be arguing about z6 and s7.. while people who use their brains will be happy with any phone!

                                z5 is only have slightly tiny better score in camera test, but not in all other tests.

                                  trolls from samsung....I give comments with valid prove, but all of you just defame Sony, because you can not show the valid prove, the camera test should refer the official site test result it is DxOmark.

                                  I seldom troll at competitors fans site, but if you like to troll and defame at here so we will troll at your site.

                                        How could it receive high dxomark score with such blurry edge camera. fake score?
