7 Ways the Galaxy S6 Beats the iPhone 6

Both of these phones come with excellent displays. The Samsung Galaxy S6's Quad HD resolution provides a beautiful canvas for movies, games, and the web. The iPhone 6's Retina HD display doesn't feature Quad HD resolution but Apple's technology helps it compete. There is one area where the Galaxy S6 beats the iPhone 6 though. 

Samsung's new flagship comes with a larger 5.1-inch display. This wouldn't be an advantage if the Galaxy S6's design wasn't on par with the iPhone 6 design, size-wise. 

The Galaxy S6's display is .4-inches bigger than the iPhone 6. That might not seem like much but the extra real estate is noticeable if you watch a ton of content or if you play a lot of games. It helps to make the experience a little more comfortable. 

Time and time again we've found ourselves using the Galaxy S6, not the iPhone 6, for gaming, movies and browsing the web.

    It appears that you find yourself using the Galaxy more than the iPhone simply because you prefer android to iOS. If you spent more time on iOS and researching the iPhone 6, you’d see a couple points you made are actually just false. In regards to the storage options, Apple does not offer the 32GB option any more, just 16, 64, and 128. This actually prices the iPhone a little less than the Galaxy S6 and a lot less than the S6 edge on the higher two capacities, making the iPhone a better value. And in regards to quick charging, they seem to be on par there, too. I just timed a charge on my iPhone 6 from 10% to 50%. It took 35 min. Maybe the iPhone 6 doesn’t come with “Quick Charging” because it just doesn’t need it.

      I am one of those rare breeds who has no brand loyalty. Whomever has the best phone out gets my money, as i have no problem switching from Droid to ios and vice versa. I tease iphone heads and droid heads all the same. Companies compete, and with technology I don’t feel anyone can have the edge with each new outing every time. I’ve gone from the iPhone 4s( I didn’t bat an eye at the iPhone 5 my 4s did everything it did besides the fingerprint scanner. I held on to the 4s longer than any phone to date) to the S5, then the iPhone 6plus, now the S6. I switched from the iphone6 plus to the S6 2 weeks ago. Charging was a huge part of that, not only is the S6 faster when plugged in(yes the s6 fast charge is much faster than i6plus) I use a wireless charger at my desk and don’t have to fool with wires at work. Also the screen is beautiful on the s6, side by side with the i6plus the difference is extremely noticeable. The camera is simply better as well. Tbh I would take my s5 back over my iphone6. But I have a feeling I may be back to iPhone when the 7 debuts or not……Time will tell.

    And the iPhone users get their panties tired in a knot…

    Couple of inaccuracies with the article. IPhone sells 16,64,128 GB varieties.

    Smart lock doesn’t work properly with the fingerprint ID. My LG watch doesn’t always allow it to work. Bluetooth is still a pain in the ass. Pass code and pin or swipe it works fine.

    Quick charge has charged my phone from 10% to 50% in 25 mins. iPhone users remember your battery is 1000mah smaller….

    Go to the telco shop and bring up pictures on the galaxy s6 Qhd screen with its stunning resoultion. Then open the pictures in an iphone. If you cant see the difference in Quality of the Galaxys 2k screen over a 750 p screen of an iphone. Someone better go get there eyes checked.

    Rumor has it that apple will still continue the ongoing storage SKUs. Apparently they don’t plan to produce a 32gb memory “base” option and will continue into their next iteration with the current 16 gb memory base option. That’s just as Assholey as it gets.

    You found yourself watching movies games and more on the galaxy, So do i after looking at the Qhd screen real estate then going and looking at my iphone it looks dull and lifeless and small. To all the people who think higher resoultion dosent matter, go get your eyes checked because it does. 750p screen on the iphone is laging so far behind the leaders.
