Samsung Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6: Which should you choose?

Samsung has taken the wraps off the latest iteration of its Galaxy S smartphone, and you can be forgiven if the new phone makes you do a double-take. The Galaxy S6, unveiled at a Mobile World Congress Event today (March 1) in Barcelona, does away with its traditional plastic form to adopt a glass-and-metal design. It's a move that will certainly invite comparisons to Apple's iPhone 6 -- comparisons that Samsung itself will be happy to make, as you move past the look and feel of the phones and drill down into their respective feature sets. 
  

  
Here's how the Galaxy S6 stacks up with the specs of Apple’s iPhone 6. 
 


Design

Samsung's Galaxy lineup has traditionally boasted greater flexibility than the iPhone, which offered no way to expand storage capacity beyond what shipped with the device or swap out the battery. That changes with the Galaxy S6, which adopts a unibody design. Gone as well is the plastic outside of past Galaxy S models: Samsung has gone with glass and metal for the Galaxy S6 in a move aimed at keeping up with the look and feel of other premium smartphones. 

You can rest easy that your Galaxy S6 has a good chance of surviving an accidental drop. Its glass body is made out of Corning Gorilla Glass 4, billed by Samsung executives as the toughest glass in the market. As for the metal portion of the Galaxy S5 design, Samsung says it's 50 percent stronger than other smartphone metals. "This phone will not bend," Younghee Lee, Samsung's mobile marketing head, said in a not-so-subtle jab at last year's mini-controversy over reports that the iPhone 6 Plus was susceptible to bending. 

Display

A 2560 x 1440 Quad HD Super AMOLED display served Samsung well with the Galaxy Note 4, so it's coming to the Galaxy S6 now. (In contrast, the Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S5 had a resolution of 1920 x 1080.) The Galaxy S6's display offers 577 pixels per inch, adding up to 77 percent more pixels than the S5.

That far outpaces what Apple's iPhone 6 models offer. The standard iPhone 6 has a resolution of 1334 x 750 and 326 ppi on its 4.7-inch screen, while the larger iPhone 6 Plus features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 401 ppi on a 5.5-inch display. 

Camera

The camera on the Galaxy S5 had been one of that phone's better-regarded features, and that figures to continue with the Galaxy S6. The new phone boasts a 16-megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-MP camera up front, compared to the 16-MP and 2.1-MP cameras on the Galaxy S5. More importantly, the Galaxy S6 uses f/1.9 lenses for both cameras, letting in more light than the f/2.2 lens used by the Galaxy S5 -- and the iPhone 6.

The result should be sharper, better-lit images, especially in low light situations. And that could pose a significant challenge to the iPhone's reputation as the best camera phone on the market. The iPhone's camera has struggled with white balance in our tests, and Samsung's use of an infrared scanner to further improve the colors on your photos could make those struggles even more apparent.

Not surprisingly, Samsung was more than eager to show how much brighter photos and videos shot with a Galaxy S6 will look when compared to those same shots with an iPhone 6. 

Features

After limiting mobile payments to PayPal with the Galaxy S5, Samsung took a page out of Apple's book by adding more capable mobile payment features to the Galaxy S6. Samsung Pay, like Apple Pay, will tap into near-field communication (NFC) technology to let you pay from your smartphone. But Samsung's mobile payment system also incorporates Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) to let you pay at any merchant that accepts credit or debit cards, potentially opening up Samsung Pay to far more retailers than Apple Pay when Samsung's service launches this summer. 

The Galaxy S6 also offers a wireless charging feature compatible with both the WPC and PMA standards, aimed at saving you from fumbling with cables or worrying about whether a charging station is compatible. You'll also spend less time at that charging station. Justin Denison, Samsung's vice president of product and strategy, says the battery in the Galaxy S6 "charges faster than any in the industry." Ten minutes of charging should give you four hours of battery life. And the Galaxy S6 can be fully charged in half the time it takes an iPhone 6, Samsung says.

The clean, polished look of the iPhone's iOS interface has been the calling card for Apple's smartphone, especially when compared to the occasionally bloated feel of the TouchWiz interface Samsung layers over Android on its phones. Samsung appears to have taken that criticism to heart with the Galaxy S6, which streamlines TouchWiz to remove a lot of the clutter.

You'll have fewer menu items to sort through on the Galaxy S6, and Samsung includes labels on icons for greater useability. In fact, Samsung says it's reduced built-in features and required steps by 40 percent in the Galaxy S6's version of TouchWiz. Will that be enough to take some of the shine off iOS 8? Probably not, but Samsung thinks it will make the differences a little less stark. 

Conclusion: The Samsung Galaxy S6 is quite a handset. It has a fabulous screen, fantastic cameras and the power and speed that at least matches the iPhone 6. It does, however, have its flaws, including that super-shiny design. The iPhone 6-like edges are also likely to draw some unwanted negative attention from Apple fans. Ultimately it is a question of price, and whether you prefer Android or iOS. For the reasons outlined in the software section we prefer iOS, but we are very impressed with this Android.

Video Playback Tips: Watch DVD and Videos on Samsung Galaxy S6/iPhone 6

While it's really good to enjoy videos on both devices, you will sometimes have trouble playing certain files. This is due to format incompatibility. In other words, to ensure smooth playback of particular video formats, you are suggested to convert the video into Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 first. Here Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is highly recommended as it can convert HD MKV, AVCHD, MTS, WMV, AVI, FLV and other videos to iPhone 6 Plus/5S/5/4S/4/3G, Samsung series etc with extremely high quality. 

    
 

  
It will be amazing to play DVD movies on the stunning large and sharp displays of Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6. However, the lack of hard drive will end your attempt. To fix this situation, you will need a DVD ripping software to rip DVD to Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6. Here Pavtube DVDAid is specially designed for that purpose. This DVD ripper for Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 can decrypt and rip DVD to Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 supported formats easily, including those protected with whatever copy protections.

Samsung rumoured to unveil Galaxy S6 at CES 2015

To hear the latest rumor, Samsung could indeed be looking to make its launch event even earlier next year, and may have intentions on launching the Galaxy S6 as soon as CES in January.

Samsung formally announced the Galaxy S3 in May, 2012. Last year the Galaxy S4 went official in early March. And back this past February, we saw the Galaxy S5 debut. Little by little, the flagship launch event has been pushing its way closer and closer to the start of the year. Will 2015 follow with that pattern forward, or have we topped out, and late winter’s probably the earliest we could hope to see a new Galaxy S model debut?

Galaxy S6

At least, so goes the theory, suggesting that not only will the regular Galaxy S6 arrive at CES 2015, but that the controversial Edge version of the phone with its wrap-around display will join it.

According to a report from Korean online publication Chosun Biz, which cites analysts from South Korea-based Mirae Asset Securities (MAS), the Galaxy S6 could be unveiled between January 6 and 9. That coincides with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Furthermore, if the latest rumors are to be believed, we might see the curved screen variant debut alongside the Galaxy S6.

MAS analysts also predict that the South Korean company is aiming to sell a total of around 45 million units of the Galaxy S6, including 10 million units of the Edge variant. Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed by Samsung, so like all rumors take it with a pinch of salt.

The Galaxy S6 is expected to feature an Exynos 7420 octa-core processor, 5.5-inch QHD (1440×2560 pixels) display, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB internal storage. The device is said to have a 20-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front snapper.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Battle Of The Phablets

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is just around the corner but will it manage to improve upon the king of all phablets, the Note 3?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – like every other Galaxy Note before it – will launch just before IFA 2014 kicks off, alongside handsets like the Sony Xperia Z3 and new releases from Nokia.

Galaxy Note 4

The Note 4 is also likely to be one of Samsung’s last big launches of the year as well as its last best hope of causing Apple’s iPhone 6 some headaches in the all-important Q4 period.

Fortunately the Note 4 stands a good chance of doing so –– Samsung’s Note handsets are always insanely good.

KYM Reviews Editor Paul Briden called the Note 3 “a stunning handset with plenty of power, a great screen, decent camera and days worth of battery life. One of the best multitasking smartphones around.” All in all, he loved it. That seemed to be the general consensus and over the past 12 months no-one has managed to knock the Note 3 off its thrown as the king of all phablets.

With the announcement so near, we thought we’d compare how the rumoured handset matches up with its predecessor, the Note 3.

Note: As always with these comparisons, we can’t guarantee all the information on the Note 4 is correct. It’s all from rumours, leaks and general speculation. It’s all a bit of fun and comparing what we think the handset will look like to the already well-established Note 3.

Design

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rather large in the hand, it weighs 168g and the dimensions come in at 151.2mm long, 79.2mm wide and 8.3mm thick. But this is to be expected: it is a phablet, after all. It's also worth noting just how much bulk Samsung has managed to shave off between iteration One and Three of its genre-defining Galaxy Note series.

Galaxy Note3 Back

Galaxy Note 4

Leaked images of the Galaxy Note 4 published online earlier this week show that the overall design of the handset will remain largely the same. All of the ports and buttons remain in the same place as they were on Galaxy Note 3. The S Pen is still at the bottom of the handset on the left hand side and all the slots are in the same places.

Another big change to the hardware comes with the addition of Samsung's Galaxy S5 heart rate monitor, which, in this instance, sits right next to the LED flash on the back of the handset, similar to where it is on the Galaxy S5.

The biggest change we can see in the leaked pictures is to do with the edging around the side of the handset, which in the context of the Note 4 will apparently be full on metal. Samsung has taken plenty of flack for its obsession with cheap plastics, so the inclusion of newer build materials this time around, while late, is a nice addition to an already hugely anticipated release.

Display

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 came with a 5.7in display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. That’s a Super AMOLED touchscreen with 386 pixels-per-inch. For its time it was an amazing display but times have changed quickly and now displays are available with much higher screen resolutions and more pixels-per-inch.

Take the LG G3 – it uses a 5.5in QHD setup, which, if you’re counting, equates to a blistering pixel density of 534 ppi. LG was first out of the blocks with a QHD display, but Samsung has all but confirmed it will follow suit with the Galaxy Note 4 in September.

As of right now, there are two schools of thought about the Galaxy Note 4’s display size: the first suggests it will be a 5.7in QHD Super AMOLED panel. The second, more controversial theory says it too will be a QHD Super AMOLED setup, but claims the size will be shrunk down to 5.5in – the same size as the LG G3’s, ironically. Camera

On the Galaxy Note 3 there was a 13MP rear-facing camera. It also featured autofocus and an LED flash. Other features included dual shot, face and smile detection as well as image stabilization alongside many others. Video quality comes at 2160p at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps whilst there’s also a 2MP front facing camera for selfies.

At the moment it looks like the Note 4 phablet will feature a 16MP rear-facing camera. Rumours suggest it will also feature optical image stabilisation and a dual-LED flash alongside all the features the last camera had. Video can be filmed in 2160p at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps and there’s still a 2MP front facing camera.

Software, Storage & Battery

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 is now running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The Galaxy Note 4 is rumoured to come with Android 4.4.3 KitKat already on board plus the new version of TouchWiz. The redesigned TouchWiz (or Nature UX), which introduced a new, flatter design, debuted on the Galaxy S5 and will likely be augmented further for use on the Galaxy Note 4.

It’s currently unclear whether there will be any additional S-Pen features available with the Note 4; no doubt we'll hear more about this at launch. One area the S-Pen could be put to use is inside S-Health –– could we see somekind of gym, sports logger added that ties in with Samsung's line of smartwatches?

Storage wise the Note 3 is available in either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB versions. There’s also microSD support for cards up to 64GB as well. It’s thought the Note 4 will offer 16GB, 32GB or 64GB storage options alongside support for microSD cards up to 128GB.

Nothing is currently known about Samsung's plans for the Galaxy Note 4's battery. Performance on the Note 3 was well above par, so any refinements – as well as the inclusion of things Ultra Power Saver Mode – could equate to some pretty HUGE uplifts in battery performance.
