iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +, the fight to be the best smartphone

Yesterday we finally met the new iPhone 6S, a smartphone that despite repeating name with old devices, does not share or repeat hardware. Unlike. So the comparisons with other smartphones are irremediable and more with its main competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +, an Android smartphone.

I know that many of you will tell me that one has Android and the other iOS, so the similarities are few and cannot be compared. But there are many who are doubting between these two models And they don't care whether they have Android or iOS, they just want the most powerful smartphone. For them (and for the rest of course) this comparison.

Screen

Both devices have a very interesting screen. Although it should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + has a larger size than the iPhone 6S and therefore for those who want a bigger screen, the Edge + is the best option. However, the resolution of the screens is very good, more than acceptable and having its pros and cons such as the high ppi of Samsung or Apple's 3D Touch. In this aspect I think that both devices are in the same position.

Power and performance

Despite that the ram memory of the iPhone 6S is unknown, I would lean towards the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + in terms of power. Among other things because the manufacturer of the processors is the same, Samsung, but with the difference that Exynos is more powerful than the A9 chip. further the wireless charging of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + makes its autonomy greater than the iPhone 6S and with more power.

Cameras

Although technically the Samsung camera seems superior, I have to say that in this respect the iPhone continues to win. Thus, the iPhone 6S not only maintains its high quality images but is also capable of Live Photos, a very interesting feature, similar to vines but with lower energy consumption and capacity. It should be noted that in this aspect Apple is still the king.

Dimensions

The capacity and size of the smartphone are still interesting points for those who choose a smartphone. If we really have a computer or access to a virtual hard drive, both one device and the other do not present storage problems, now, in terms of its dimensions, it is undoubtedly iPhone 6S the one who wins, not only for a reduced size but also for having a lower weight, something that many give much more value than other aspects such as the camera or the processor. And is that the weight on the mobile will always accompany us, whether we use it or not use the smartphone.

Money

In the field of money, we are not surprised that the iPhone is a bit more expensive than the Galaxy S6 Edge +, although for those with few resources, both one and the other exceed 500 euros in direct purchase. Specific the Galaxy S6 Edge + It costs about 799 euros for the 64GB model while the iPhone 6S costs about 749 euros for the 16GB model. Let's go 50 euros difference for more than 32 GB of storage. With a telephony contract these prices will drop considerably but still in the long run it will mean a greater expense, but on the other hand they are the kings of the high range, so it was to be expected to have high prices, don't you think?

Conclusion

The conclusion and choice of one terminal or another is very complicated. It is very personal and depends on each one, but of course for those who do not want a large screen, the iPhone 6S is a great option, personally I lean towards this model, for a simple reason: the Galaxy S6 Edge + is so big that It is the same as a bad Note, more like a phablet than a smartphone. However, if what you are looking for is a phablet, Galaxy S6 Edge + is your smartphone without a doubt. But like I say, the choice is always yours.
