+Leonard Cole different iPhone and samsung can see after 1-2 years after you bought those smartphones. LoL Is still great,no lagging,smooth,fast or etc, when you run your applications or multitasking. LMAO
I'm actually a bit disappointed with the s6. They went same direction as Apple in an attempt convert some of the iPhone users. And the result of that is a Samsung phone that it very good for an iPhone, but not quite up to snuff with previous Galaxys.
Ayy Lmao xx same I used to have iPhone and I don't regret cuz you can paus vid and have more awesome features on photo but on iPhone it's boring plus my apps don't crash maybe it's ur model or maybe yours is in America cuz I got myn in England
Imad Abselem The Galaxy S6 is technologically superior to the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 is the best designed and most technologically advanced smartphone in the industry. I love my Galaxy S6!
They complain about the complexity because they are to lazy to figure out how to do stuff. Btw, i dont think complex is the right word. Android has so much features, they aren't used to that
Imad Abselem The Galaxy S6 is the best Android smartphone AND the best smartphone in the industry, period.iOS is very un-adaptable, it's dumb and I hate that.
Wrong! Your phone is not supposed to take the place of your pc. It is supposed to compliment it. Oh and windows by far is waaaayyyy better than android. IOS and Yosemite walks android and windows all day long.
***** yep they are both cars, just like ios and android are both os's. They differ but in some way they are the 'same' (android is superior in my opinion)
I was an android fan for the past 6 years, but just switched from a GS6 to iPhone 6s Plus. The GS6 looks better, and has an open platform/ecosystem, but it's also laggy, unreliable, doesn't always get updates, and has bad battery life. iPhone users get updates at the same time, rarely crashes, and is also faster than the GS6 even though the GS6 has double the ram and a faster processor, and that's because the iPhone is optimized better. Also my battery is literally at 70% with moderate use from 8:00 am to 10 pm, you have to admit that's pretty impressive. Apple is better for me, but everyone has different needs and preferences. We can all be respectful and we don't have to bash android or iOS, there are pros and cons to each.
+Pinkbeard guy lower class? A completely glass back looks lower class wow you have high expectations, and besides everyone thinks the plastic antenna lines look like shit on the iphone6
Adnan Khan I'm talking about the "my phone is superior" debate. And if you read my comment I also said "buy what you like" which inherently means buy what fits your style. So I don't know what point you're trying to provide here
S6 Antutu Benchmark: 67000 I6 Antutu Benchmark: 49000 Improved Pay system Better internet security without sacrificing ability to download music and APKs offline More options overall The S6 has my vote :)
Best comparison I have seen on these two phones. NICE WORK MR FISHER! That being said, here are my thoughts about the two phones. We already know the iPhone 6s will have "force touch" just like the Apple watch. Sames specs, slightly better camera and "new" force touch... which means app development we be closer to android. Example, force touch is the same as the back button or something along those lines. Apple will say, (in a stupid accent) "now rather than closing the app you can force press anywhere on the screen and go back to your previous information without ever leaving the app... just like you always could on Android" As the two phones galaxy and iPhone get closer in design and the software aligns more and more it will be easy for devs to make apps for both systems equally. Thus leaving the battle to hardware. And the S6 has the better screen, better camera and I can charge it at just about any pub just by asking for a phone charger, without sounding like a douche. "Umm, excuse me, do you have an iPhone 6s+ charger? No? Just the iPhone 6+. Well I need the 6S+ charger, thanks anyway." AND even if the pub didn't have a normal/standard phone charger for my Galaxy I could turn on ultra power saving mode, which has saved my butt plenty of times. I used to be a diehard apple guy. Had the 3G, 3GS, 4, 5, and then I got a Galaxy Alpha... I won't ever go back. Try them both for six months and decide. I promise you the Galaxy will win.
No hating please, but what I think is the best way to decide which phone you should get. If you're really into taking photographs and videos and like the ability to completely customize your phone's internal look, go for the Samsung Galaxy S6. If you like a very fast, non-laggy phone that is much simpler and easier to figure out, go for the iPhone 6/6S. Both phones are great and I don't believe there should be any bias between them, just pick which one fits your needs better. Don't tell people "OMG this one's SOOOO much better!!" It may fit YOUR needs better, but maybe not for the other person. Thanks!
I truly don't understand why everyone is saying that the Galaxy S6 looks like the iPhone 6. The power and volume keys were always were they are, Samsung had the home button for as long as I can remember (they did copy with the fingerprint scanner, but it's not visually copying.), and they might have copied them by bringing the headphone jack down, but they had to put the speaker on the bottom because the back of the phone is glass and is would be stupid to cut an extra unnecessary hole and hurt the structural integrity of it and the charging port was also there for as long as I can remember.
Quite a great review. Pretty fair and covers all we need to know in a good way. I guess this could be my favorite comparison video of these two beautiful phones. Thanks for sharing!
So I've been a Samsung user like 3-4 years now, and I've been thinkin' about upgrading my phone soon... I can't decide do I want to upgrade my current s4 to s6... or do I want to try something new and buy an iPhone 6. I know most of the good sides of both phones, but what do you guys say? Should I pick Samsung Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6? And no fanboys please.
Wosrethot Look im a iPhone user, and i'm sure you will be disappointed, its not very customisable, however if your willing you overlook that, you wont be disappointed, as you seen in the video, both the iPhone 6 and s6 is just about even, with their own upsides and downsides.
It depends on what you want. I've been an iPhone user for 5 years and then I got a Note 3 which I've used for every day since I bought it well over a year now. I can not go back to my iPhone because I am too annoyed with the app- and Web page -reloads. They are very common and it makes it impossible to do anything productive on my phone. The Note remembers everything I do and when I quit out from an app to do something else, it stays exactly the same when I want to go back to it. I think iPhone is great for most phone buyers because most people just want something that works. But I want more!
Wosrethot S6 if you want to have a fun phone that does everything imaginable with minimal problems, iPhone if you want a phone that looks good, and does what you want it to with utmost perfection.
Think about the things that you'll lose if you change to iOS. If they are not a problem for you, then I think that you can take an iPhone. I own a Note 4 and I can't imagine changing Android for iOS. Impossible. I'd feel like in a jail 😊
I don't know if you should choose the Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 but just for another option, the hTC one m9! That phone is beautiful, fast, it has a nice screen, best in class speakers, and very close to stock Android. The only downside is the camera isn't too good compared to other smartphones, according to online camera comparisons. If you want a phone that has many tricks and cool unique features, best in class screen, new fingerprint sensor, and amazing camera, the Galaxy S6 is a really good choice. If you want a phone that is beautiful, simple, and fast, the iPhone 6 is a great idea. It also is part of the largest app ecosystem (Apple App Store) so you may find some cool iOS exclusives. If you don't want to all out customize your phone, this is a good idea. The camera is good although it may not be that sharp when zooming in on photos because of the 8MP sensor but the image processing in iOS is amazing. It all depends on what you are looking for in a phone, features and customizability, great speakers, OS and hardware, or just plain simplicity
I just got the galaxy s6 and feel so good. Had the iPhone 6 before however but owning a note 3 before somehow find myself always going back to a bigger screen
Or maybe you want a phone that nails all the basics and is supported for at least 4-5 years for security and new features and will be able to handle new features of apps. The iphone 6 is on ios12 and can do 90% of what the 11 series can do. Bot to mention, can run every app the 11 can. Can you say the same thing about the s6? Does it have at least android 9 or 10? Lol. Can it run all the apps the s20 can with new features of the apps? Doesn’t matter if the specs are higher if you can’t even use the phone. Looool
+Gallardo 5Million yeah, that's true, I love my galaxy s6 , the only thing is I wish I could see how many comments have likes on youtube. Other the quality is way better. Longer battery life, more data, doesn't use up data after updates and I could post more
Although i am an android fan...i still like the ios app store coz the apps are beautifully designed , have more productivity and gaming apps and developers really care since they know they are going to be paid properly. Also app store blows play store away when it comes to tablets ... so...
***** Not totally....coz devs know that they will get rightly paid in iOS...but in android they know that anyone can download their paid app from a 3rd party source for free...
Rajit Roy you all are forgetting the fact that AppStore has a quality control. All the apps go through a process of evaluation before getting released to make sure it isn't malicious. so yeah, app store is the winner, if you're a developer you know you're actually getting paid, if you're a consumer you know you can trust any download you do in it, but it isn't the best store if you like to stole every app by downloading them for free and thinking you're being smart.
John Doe Yes, it's worth it 100%. I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and it was a HUGE upgrade for me especially the Quad-HD display and 16MP OIS camera with DSLR functions. Coming from the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S6 will be an even bigger upgrade. Get the Galaxy S6 bro!
John Doe The Galaxy S6 is 2 years technologically ahead of everything else on the market. So yes, it's worth it upgrading from the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S6. The iPhone 6s wont beat it.
Stefan C. If only the S6 had a metal back, I HATE glass backs on phones. Have a Note 4 right now and might switch to the iPhone 6S later this year, wanted to try the iPhone anyways. I just hope that the Note 5 won't have a glass back otherwise the Note 4 will be my last Samsung until they change to metal.
Pocketnow Great review, but I don't think the Galaxy S6 looks anything like the iPhone 6. The S6 has chamfer edges, the sides are flat, the antenna bands are on the top and bottom, and the speaker holes are a different design. The iPhone has no cuts on it what so ever, it is all round.
It's kind of crazy that someone like Michael Fisher is not mentioning the noise level on low light situations for the iPhone 6. I have both phones but as far as camera quality goes, it's not even comparable....
Alex Wohlbruck I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 is superior. Superior 16MP OIS camera with DSLR functionality, superior Quad-HD display and superior battery life. Get the Galaxy S6! The iPhone 6's 8MP camera doesn't have OIS camera and no DSLR functionality. Also the display resolution is even less than 1080p. iPhone 6 is low tech.
FrenchVoyeur Trust me, I would never EVER consider the iPhone, but I've had the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 2 in the past years, and I just could not deal with touchwiz in all of it's hideousness. The UI has improved since the S5, I must say, but still stock Lollipop looks way better (I'm a graphic designer and I need everything to look good lol). The experience I've had with Samsung in the past has been so bad that I just swore off Samsung all together. However, I might have to take it back with this phone. It's an exception I think.
Michael, I love your balanced reviews and your speech pattern always remind me of Shatner or (Adam) Wests.However, I have rarely had major crashes on any andriod phone..Great stuff thanks
TroubleKlef Apple copied LG's Prada phone for their first iPhone. And by the way, I have the Galaxy S6, I upgraded from the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 is superior.
TroubleKlef Apple DIDN"T pioneer that design in 2010. HTC Legend was the first phone to include the aluminum design in 2010 and apple Iphone 4 had a glass back in 2010. Get your facts straight
These "vs" reviews are very good but I'm curious as to why you are doing them before the actual review of the S6? Seems like that would come before these.
We always run comparisons before the full review. Result is more data/time for the (arguably) more important full review, while still allowing timely coverage in the form of the comparisons. It's a compromise that's sometimes necessary. ^M
I prefer the iPhone 6 (Plus), but the SGS 6 seems like a good phone too. Android is just too complicated for me! And I have a MacBook for school, so an iPhone and iPad is really convenient for me! :)
He clearly said 6Plus which has above average battery life, torrent sounds fairly complicated and I'm guessing illegal, he isn't bargain hunting for apps, and I barely use iTunes I just use iCloud and Spotify, and when I do use iTunes it syncs automatically.
You're the best reviewer in the world. I can listen to your narration non stop. Keep doing this. You're the only person I need to listen to choose which devise I need
Everything is so close. But i am happy with my iphone 6 as i prefer the full metal finish rather than glass back as i had the z series earlier and i hate hate hate touchwiz. But good jump by the samsung team when we compare it to the the s5.
Great review- but it's the second review you have complained about the back button being in the upper left. System wide and almost in every 3rd party apps you can swipe from the left edge to go back. And it's amazing to use.
Ayush Rapson Nobody cares if it sells a lot. Your statement clearly states that you are a fanboy. So what if sells more better? It does not change the FACT that Galaxy S6 defeats iPhone 6 when it comes to charging.
Pedro Torres Galaxy S6 = High tech, uses next-gen high end specs from Samsung (the world's largest technology company). iPhone 6 = low tech, uses outdated parts from 2 years ago.
I've owned both, well, the edge variant of the s6. I can confidently say ive had absolutely no issues with either but Samsung really nailed the design and OS on the S6. The features are very useful, the screen and camera are in a different league and in my opinion its nicer the hold and look at. The fingerprint scanner really is as good as Apples and with features like wireless charging and edge display im happy to say of the 2 thats the one id have back. I was so impressed with the s6 edge I bought the s7 edge on launch, congrats Samsung, you've finally put functionality and features in a gorgeous well made case. Gone is tackiness of previous Samsungs, touchwiz is really impressive now, its light, fast and intuitive. Apple, listen up, take a page out of Samsungs book and copy the features people want. The S7/edge is the complete package. - ex iPhone user.
Bought the Galaxy S6 unlocked on October 2015 and got the Marshmallow update 2 weeks ago. The phone has almost zero lag. Snappier, fingerprint scanner faster, camera added exposure time, free ram is 35% higher, battery lasts longer. I'm very happy with this phone.
the only reason android lags a bit is cuz it has 100x more features than iOS and its so much more open whereas iOS just has the same shit every year. I can guarantee you that if the iphone 6 were running android, it wouldn't even open an app.
Android hasn't changed much in long time either, fact is android just is slow and sluggish and needs high specs run No matter what u say, no can deny that android is slower than iOS who actually has a brain and looks at it Take my LG android tablet from sprint that has very similar specs to iPhone 6 and it doesn't have the so called up to date features u think android has over iOS what u think is only why android is slower, it's very basic and can't do much with it fast It can't even barely keep up with my typing without missing letters unless I type slower It crashes quite a bit and it's just few months old and had to factory reset it and my wife has the same tablet and same issues, but even the first gen iPad was faster Just try running antutu benchmark on an iPhone 6 or 6plus and u can't find a dual core android device tablet or phone that scores even half what the iPhone gets U have to get newer quad core or octocore android to be equal or beat the iPhone This has nothing to do with iOS being such a simple OS like u think cuz when running the benchmark tests it's not using any of those features u think android has over iOS, it's just testing the CPU, cpu and ram also note all the apps that have to start over or reboot on android when switching between apps vs apps that remember ur place And that's a ram issue cuz I've had many android and iOS devices and I've have tons of high end apps opened on android and checked the current ram usage and there was no risk of running out of ram so that's shows it doesn't need more ram, but yet it's still rebooting apps and crashing All these 3GB ram android devices don't even need it, u can be running pretty much all the apps u want without coming close to using it up so its not a lack of ram issue, that's just there to please people like u who think that tech specs like ram and CPU is all that matters Even the so called beast that is the note 4 doesn't really do any better in performance than an iPhone 6 plus, technically the note 3 should have better performance than the iPhone 6 plus but it doesn't
Bryan Miller It is to do with the OS, android has more features crammed into it so it needs a lot more horsepower to run apps which is why dual core devices are sluggish.
imran sheikh still choosing speed and usability over tons of features that i will barely use. Why cant these android companies understand the concept of user experience smh...
Not anymore features that explain the slowness of simply displaying apps on the recent apps screen or even just loading the home screen wallpaper on a supposedly fast quad core phone
Burcey B I have the s5 and it never seems to lag for me. Yes it may be a bit sluggish at times but i'm willing to make the sacrifice because of all the things android can do. Lets just say that they are both good.
I had an iPhone 5c and now I have the Galaxy S6. I've had a lot of apps crash since I've been using the phone and my iPhone hardly ever had crashed apps. But I am much happier with my S6 than I was my 5c. The battery life ON POWER SAVING MODE is awesome!!! I'm a heavy user of social media, games, and text messaging. I could go 2 whole days on one charge. Plus I have a car charger called "quick charger". My galaxy was on 10% and within 15 mins, the battery was on 51%!
Samsung is not visually similar to Apple. Apple is visually similar to Samsung. I will accept the bottom of the phone looks shockingly similar but Samsung have been putting their power button, volume rocker, and ports in the same place for years now. Apple suddenly decide that it would be better to you Samsung's design and in some twised way, they got credit for it.
Just wanna let long term iphone/apple users that started with iphone know, once you enter the apple world, you'll always come back. Don't waste money on a different phone I'm just saying. Stick with your iphone and don't keep updating your device to the point of it becoming obsolete. Wait for whatever new iphone you think will fit you best instead of upgrading every year or two. Trust me I tried to switch to samsung gs6, only to find myself constantly trying to reskin the os to an "ios look-a-like" and looking for facetime/imessage alternatives. I can't get over apples amazing ecosystem and hardware(arguable).
You really don't need to be. It comes with quick charging and wireless charging. I currently have them both on my Nexus 6 and have no issues what so ever. I guess you could be concerned if you were away from a wall socket for 5 or 6 hrs at a time for long periods of your day, but even then I'd just bring a portable charger with me and call it a day. On my Nexus 6 I can go from 20% to 80% in like 15 minutes. I even own a quick charger for my car.
youngbreezy Here bro, check this out! It's from a reputable Japanese tech website that recently did battery test ggsoku.com/2015/03/galaxy-s6-battery-life-test/?pos=top_story
Which one has a better camera? I don't really see differences in color but I like how samsungs doesn't make the camera too close to your face like the Iphone @8:19-8:21
People need to realize that this is samsung's 2015 move. Apple has yet to make theirs. Yet, the iPhone 6 out performs it, in certain areas. Androids always deteriorate after a while, on the same firmware, once you add a shit load of stuff on it, but ios don't.
Have u used an iPhone 4s. It is slow af. But my friend has a galaxy s3 that works fine. High end Android phones outperform iPhones except Samsung sometimes cuz Samsung has touchwiz
James Zanghi You mean high end android outperforms LOWER END iPhones. You didn't understad what I said. Yes, the iPhone 4s will perform slow on iOS 8.2, but 8.2 is NOT the ORIGINAL firmware for the iPhone 4s. iOS 5 was. . What I am saying is the performance don't decrease on the original software of an iPhone even if it has ZERO storage available. Androids do.... . I think its because Android and its fragmentation issues......
James Zanghi Wrong! The iPhone 5 was released in 2012, together with the S3. The S4 was released in 2013, together with 5S. The S5 was released in 2014, together with the iPhone 6. Keep in mind, the 5S STILL outperformed the S5, even though it was an iPhone model from the year before....there are videos on here proving me correct. go watch them....
I agree with everything on the video except with the app crashing, I have my S6 since it got released to the stores and no apps have ever crashed for me.
I was so looking forward to this smartphone and then this.. - Glass - No water resistance - Headphone jack at the bottom - Non-removable (and smaller) battery - No SD card slot (and no I'm definitely not storing my stuff in a cloud) - Resembles an iPhone 6/6 Plus I don't get it. Does Samsung really believe that an iPhone with Android is what their users lust after? The main reason I got a Galaxy S5 was the SD card slot, removable battery, and the fact that the back is not made of glass which I can't easily replace myself if it breaks. The water resistance feature makes it much more convenient. Accidents do happen. There's no reason for me to buy this.
When they first revealed the GS6 I must admit I was a little agitated, but I got over it. I currently have an GS4 which is not waterproof so that's okay with me. As long as the phone performs great for me, 32GB internal storage would be fine because it's more than I've ever had even with expansion on my GS4. And resembling an iPhone does not make it an iPhone; it actually looks better than an iPhone honestly.
cance7984 Galaxy s6 ACTIVE is coming soon for you. Almost same specs as S6 with plastic case, officially certified water/choc resistance, removable battery and SD card slot. But don't expect it would be as handsome as S6(also as iphone 6) :)
cance7984 I agree with famousamos94. I actually really hated the phone when they first announced it, but to be honest, it's a pretty sweet phone. Of course it doesn't advertise that it's "water resistant", but if you look on youtube, it can last in shallow water for almost 10 minutes before becoming weird. It may be glass, but cover it up with a phone case. I know most people who cover their phones anyway. I LOVE using my micro sd card on my s4, but for some reason, I can't transfer the entire storage (usually apps, not photos and videos) to my sd card (if someone can help me, please! I have 500 mb left!!!) The storage starts at 32gb which is a good amount, but like you, I am also upset with the no micro sd card. I guess you can just wait for the price to drop and grab the 64gb/128gb. The battery being smaller sucks, but I've been told that it lasts the entire day so I guess it's not that bad, right? I think you can get one of those portable battery chargers so you can some extra juice. As for the headphone jack and the iPhone resemblance, I can't help you with that lol. Its operating system and camera is greater than ever though so if I had to upgrade my phone, this would be my new phone :D (well... maybe lol. I've been waiting for the lg g4 since forever haha)
BlitzBloodFan The G4 will be a great phones, the G3 showed us what LG are capable of, but the reality of it is that LG still aren't really competing much with the iPhone. Oh and Bodybuilder X, many people care about the G4, me included.
kudo shinichi the lag only really happens when you use one of those phone themes from the theme store. the s6 has more for it going. even the creator of this video believes samsung takes the win
Very fair review that highlights features on both devices very nicely. I wish you'd be a little more polar though and tell us what your personal favorite is though.
I prefer apple's device because of its software. I like how simple the interfaces is than samsung's. Not to bash on samsung, but I just prefer apple's user interface. Samsung's interface seems to complicated for me liking.
+Eric Zhou That's what they don't seem to understand. I think it's hard for the brats who complain about us buying iPhones to imagine that there are people who does something else than customizing their own phone and looking at it all day. I don't need my phone to show everybody who I am, I need a phone that's simple and that I don't need to think too much whilst using.
2 things....1st - If you can organise and customize apps and widgets onto the home screen how is that not simpler than having to search and remember where the app you want to use is located especially if you can't place them in alphabetical order? #2 - Ios apps do shut down or crash as you say, it just doesn't send you a sign stating so but you still have to reopen the app..
miamicanesfan01 It's just due to release cycles. One could've said the same about comparing the iPhone 6 to the S5 last fall. 6 months isn't that big of a difference, if we're completely honest with ourselves.
Dante Bradley well i think they should rater compare 6s to s6 because both will come out this year ... so to me thats the same cycle ... and the s5 and iPhone 6 comparison was the last cycle ^^
Vladimir Custodio Galaxy S6 is very high technology. I work at Deutsche Telekom (Germany's largest telecom company) and Galaxy S6 is 60% of sales, iPhone 6 is 15% and the rest is 25%. Galaxy S6 is selling very fast here in Germany. because Germans like high technology products. It's very surprising to see Samsung outselling Apple because it's first time that happened here. Sorry for my bad English.
I hate when people say the App Store is equal to Google Play. Does the App Store have emulators to play roms, programs to download free music, and Showbox for movies?
Zino B Hahaha. Android's come a long way. If you're a fan of customization, don't be afraid to give it a try. If I had to recommend two Androids, it would have to be the Moto X and S6.
If you are the kind of person who doesn't upgrade his phone for more than a year or two (which I assume you are since you have an iPhone 4), I think the iPhone would be better for you since Apple keeps pushing updates to old iPhones while my Galaxy S5 is still running Android 4.4 which is about 2 years old! I have to say that other Android manufacturers like Motorola and Google don't seem to have this problem. My one and only advice is don't compare the specs. Performance is what matters.
Unclekreepy 100% correct. I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 is far technologically superior. I love my Galaxy S6!The Galaxy S6 is 2 years technologically ahead everything else. You wont have to upgrade for 3+ years because the Galaxy S6's technologically is so advanced and superior. The Galaxy S6 has the best camera and best display in the industry, PERIOD.
i switched from 6 to S6. ive had the S6 for about two months now, and i had the iphone for a bit over 6 months. I have experienced both phones in great detail. the reason i switched was mainly because of the ability to download music and is sheer power, along with the beautiful new Android Lollipop (5.0) with googles material design language.. ive always had respect for my iphone. and to be honest, i do miss a lot of things about it. for example, its smooth, rounded sides, its nice matte back (i do have a matte rear screen protector so that doesnt count anymore), and even siri for gods sake. if youre going for the S6, remember that it does have better battery, better camera, and a MUCH better screen, plus wireless charging which is AWESOME. but it will be jitterish and laggy at times, (not much of a big deal to a john doe but to me it kinda is) and the home button is made of the biggest scratch magnet known to man. if youre going for the iPhone, you get design, beauty, simplicity, elegancy, and load of accessories. but you will be limited as to functionality, and access, and the battery isnt too good, especially for heavy users like me. thats my opinion
Galaxy S6 edge+ plus is the best for Android fans. Galaxy S6 (2 year update cycle). Galaxy s6 better camera Galaxy s6 better screen Galaxy s6 more features (IR Blaster etc) iphone 6s is better in fast updates (4 years update cycle) iphone 6s better battery life. (100% battery at night before sleeping and waking up after 8 hours the battery is still 100%) this is were apple iphone win's. Iphone 6s has better operating system because is smooth like butter. no lag.
I am an all time Apple fan... And when I first heard of the Galaxy S6, it wowed me! Would love to get a Galaxy S6 anytime! ... I will wait till the iPhone 7 and or Galaxy S7 and see till' there...
Good review, but you missed a couple things on the iPhone like with the back button, the whole left side of the screen becomes the back button by just swiping from the left edge of the screen to the right, and true the iPhone 6 is not optically stabilized, but the 6 Plus is. Wireless charging I admit is a cool feature, but its not truly wireless as you have to leave it on the charger to charge it which means you can't use it and charge at the same time if you went that route. S6 is a huge improvement over previous S-line phones so I will say that.
I just got the s6 a few days ago. Great phone - haven't really used any of the intense features yet but the simple use i've put it through so far is very impressive and easy to use. The camera is pristine.. I bought it full price 64GB - best to get the defender Otter Box
I've had my Galaxy S6 for almost 4 months now and I've got to say: this phone is amazing! No app ever crashed and it runs like a beast, the screen is beautiful with amazing colors, the camera is awesome, the finger print scaner unlocks the phone as soon as i touch it, the sound is really good. It's impossible to regret buying this phone
One Media Most people buy an iPhone because it is simpler, better looking, has a better camera than most Android phones, and just works better. In my opinion.
One Media Not everyone's into tech. And for them, Apple and Samsung are just fine. You could even say that most people bought a Samsung because of their friends.
I assume "Easy Mode" is to attract iphone users?
cmomofilm Shots fucking fired!
Red haha
cmomofilm Not just them though. Also old people and people who know absolutely nothing about software.
cmomofilm wahahahah love it
+Leonard Cole different iPhone and samsung can see after 1-2 years after you bought those smartphones. LoL
Is still great,no lagging,smooth,fast or etc, when you run your applications or multitasking. LMAO
I'm happy with my iPhone 6...You are happy with your Galaxy S6....everyone is happy, that's the way it should be...right?
Bora Rossi I'm very happy with my iPhone, and I'm surprised how the people still argue about this.
Iphone 5 is better
I'm actually a bit disappointed with the s6. They went same direction as Apple in an attempt convert some of the iPhone users. And the result of that is a Samsung phone that it very good for an iPhone, but not quite up to snuff with previous Galaxys.
EXACTLY!!
Random Comment agreed,its an iphone on steroids, but for real Galaxy users its not on the level we expected
I've chosen between the iPhone 6 and s6 and decided to go with the s6 and I don't regret it.
nice
Ayy Lmao xx same I used to have iPhone and I don't regret cuz you can paus vid and have more awesome features on photo but on iPhone it's boring plus my apps don't crash maybe it's ur model or maybe yours is in America cuz I got myn in England
Shakir Belal same.
You will eventually
CapriSon no he won't
it's so funny how people complain about android's complexity, yet they have no issues using windows or osx
Imad Abselem The Galaxy S6 is technologically superior to the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 is the best designed and most technologically advanced smartphone in the industry. I love my Galaxy S6!
They complain about the complexity because they are to lazy to figure out how to do stuff. Btw, i dont think complex is the right word. Android has so much features, they aren't used to that
Imad Abselem The Galaxy S6 is the best Android smartphone AND the best smartphone in the industry, period.iOS is very un-adaptable, it's dumb and I hate that.
Wrong! Your phone is not supposed to take the place of your pc. It is supposed to compliment it. Oh and windows by far is waaaayyyy better than android. IOS and Yosemite walks android and windows all day long.
***** yep they are both cars, just like ios and android are both os's. They differ but in some way they are the 'same' (android is superior in my opinion)
I'm so impressed with the S6's camera. It's so amazing.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz Agree! I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and the camera on the Galaxy S6 is superior.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz Me too!
You cut yourself short. Colors are not natural at all
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz It's very amazin.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz The Galaxy S6 camera has the most accurate colors and white balance.
I was an android fan for the past 6 years, but just switched from a GS6 to iPhone 6s Plus. The GS6 looks better, and has an open platform/ecosystem, but it's also laggy, unreliable, doesn't always get updates, and has bad battery life. iPhone users get updates at the same time, rarely crashes, and is also faster than the GS6 even though the GS6 has double the ram and a faster processor, and that's because the iPhone is optimized better. Also my battery is literally at 70% with moderate use from 8:00 am to 10 pm, you have to admit that's pretty impressive. Apple is better for me, but everyone has different needs and preferences. We can all be respectful and we don't have to bash android or iOS, there are pros and cons to each.
android fan = everyone who has phone from any brand, and its not that shet apple? oke
+Pinkbeard guy lower class? A completely glass back looks lower class wow you have high expectations, and besides everyone thinks the plastic antenna lines look like shit on the iphone6
+Pinkbeard guy I know, right? The iPhone 4 looked like a lower-class phone!
Fagland
+TR the s6 is slower in single core tasks,however in anything demanding or graphics intensive,the s6 will win
I still don't understand that its like 2015 and people still try to do the "my phone is superior" argument. Just buy what you like and be happy sheesh
Exactly
Fuck yea indeed.
MURICA. F**k Yea But how will I compensate for my smaller penis?!?!
How will you know which phone to buy.....by comparing the two most popular devices and then chosing the one BETTER suited for you
Adnan Khan I'm talking about the "my phone is superior" debate. And if you read my comment I also said "buy what you like" which inherently means buy what fits your style. So I don't know what point you're trying to provide here
S6 Antutu Benchmark: 67000
I6 Antutu Benchmark: 49000
Improved Pay system
Better internet security without sacrificing ability to download music and APKs offline
More options overall
The S6 has my vote :)
S6 has shitty battery life...
Greg Monroe The iPhone's is still far worse...and the S6 is still above the average life span of modern cell phones...so what's your point
Henry check the other ones, they give the same results

after the new updates on the s6 it dominates no more crashing it's blazing fast aswell
At the start of the video you said that Samsung copied Apple with the home button.. Where the fuck are they supposed to put it?

Picassos×Daughter please love me
Totally agree..
Picassos×Daughter don't you ever consider his looks too? :P
Best comparison I have seen on these two phones. NICE WORK MR FISHER!
That being said, here are my thoughts about the two phones. We already know the iPhone 6s will have "force touch" just like the Apple watch. Sames specs, slightly better camera and "new" force touch... which means app development we be closer to android. Example, force touch is the same as the back button or something along those lines. Apple will say, (in a stupid accent) "now rather than closing the app you can force press anywhere on the screen and go back to your previous information without ever leaving the app... just like you always could on Android"
As the two phones galaxy and iPhone get closer in design and the software aligns more and more it will be easy for devs to make apps for both systems equally. Thus leaving the battle to hardware. And the S6 has the better screen, better camera and I can charge it at just about any pub just by asking for a phone charger, without sounding like a douche. "Umm, excuse me, do you have an iPhone 6s+ charger? No? Just the iPhone 6+. Well I need the 6S+ charger, thanks anyway." AND even if the pub didn't have a normal/standard phone charger for my Galaxy I could turn on ultra power saving mode, which has saved my butt plenty of times.
I used to be a diehard apple guy. Had the 3G, 3GS, 4, 5, and then I got a Galaxy Alpha... I won't ever go back. Try them both for six months and decide. I promise you the Galaxy will win.
NOSfusion Galaxy S6 is superior. I have both phones so I know. The Galaxy S6 takes much higher quality photos and has the superior display.
ForzaItaliaAzzurri7 Well I can read minds so I know that you know, but thanks for the comment anyway.
NOSfusion 100% agree bro. The Galaxy S6 is the best.
NOSfusion Galaxy S6 is the best!
NOSfusion Hell yea!!
No hating please, but what I think is the best way to decide which phone you should get.
If you're really into taking photographs and videos and like the ability to completely customize your phone's internal look, go for the Samsung Galaxy S6. If you like a very fast, non-laggy phone that is much simpler and easier to figure out, go for the iPhone 6/6S.
Both phones are great and I don't believe there should be any bias between them, just pick which one fits your needs better. Don't tell people "OMG this one's SOOOO much better!!" It may fit YOUR needs better, but maybe not for the other person.
Thanks!
You are right !
A lot of people say that my phone is old (2012) and that I should get an iPhone, but I don't NEED a new phone.
I've had a iphone for the last 5 years always upgrading,i hate to say it but I'm starting to think the samsung's are better...
It is! Im using the Galaxy S5 and it's awesome!
get the s6. its amazing men
they are so much better.
I have a galaxy s6 edge+, and its so beautiful. sometimes I pick it up just to stare at it
+RandomRyu bro i did the same thing !! i was a apple user for past 6 years.after getting s6 i feel i got some superpowers. :P
that's why I left after the 5. I'm s6 now and I couldn't be any happier. it's all about the program and how u evolved with it.
I truly don't understand why everyone is saying that the Galaxy S6 looks like the iPhone 6. The power and volume keys were always were they are, Samsung had the home button for as long as I can remember (they did copy with the fingerprint scanner, but it's not visually copying.), and they might have copied them by bringing the headphone jack down, but they had to put the speaker on the bottom because the back of the phone is glass and is would be stupid to cut an extra unnecessary hole and hurt the structural integrity of it and the charging port was also there for as long as I can remember.
Quite a great review. Pretty fair and covers all we need to know in a good way. I guess this could be my favorite comparison video of these two beautiful phones. Thanks for sharing!
So I've been a Samsung user like 3-4 years now, and I've been thinkin' about upgrading my phone soon... I can't decide do I want to upgrade my current s4 to s6... or do I want to try something new and buy an iPhone 6. I know most of the good sides of both phones, but what do you guys say? Should I pick Samsung Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6? And no fanboys please.
Wosrethot Look im a iPhone user, and i'm sure you will be disappointed, its not very customisable, however if your willing you overlook that, you wont be disappointed, as you seen in the video, both the iPhone 6 and s6 is just about even, with their own upsides and downsides.
It depends on what you want. I've been an iPhone user for 5 years and then I got a Note 3 which I've used for every day since I bought it well over a year now.
I can not go back to my iPhone because I am too annoyed with the app- and Web page -reloads. They are very common and it makes it impossible to do anything productive on my phone. The Note remembers everything I do and when I quit out from an app to do something else, it stays exactly the same when I want to go back to it. I think iPhone is great for most phone buyers because most people just want something that works. But I want more!
Wosrethot S6 if you want to have a fun phone that does everything imaginable with minimal problems, iPhone if you want a phone that looks good, and does what you want it to with utmost perfection.
Think about the things that you'll lose if you change to iOS. If they are not a problem for you, then I think that you can take an iPhone.
I own a Note 4 and I can't imagine changing Android for iOS. Impossible. I'd feel like in a jail 😊
I don't know if you should choose the Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 but just for another option, the hTC one m9! That phone is beautiful, fast, it has a nice screen, best in class speakers, and very close to stock Android. The only downside is the camera isn't too good compared to other smartphones, according to online camera comparisons. If you want a phone that has many tricks and cool unique features, best in class screen, new fingerprint sensor, and amazing camera, the Galaxy S6 is a really good choice. If you want a phone that is beautiful, simple, and fast, the iPhone 6 is a great idea. It also is part of the largest app ecosystem (Apple App Store) so you may find some cool iOS exclusives. If you don't want to all out customize your phone, this is a good idea. The camera is good although it may not be that sharp when zooming in on photos because of the 8MP sensor but the image processing in iOS is amazing. It all depends on what you are looking for in a phone, features and customizability, great speakers, OS and hardware, or just plain simplicity
I just got the galaxy s6 and feel so good. Had the iPhone 6 before however but owning a note 3 before somehow find myself always going back to a bigger screen
I mean the only reason your gonna get an iphone is because everyone else has one.
Dota Bytes TRUEEEE
True dat
I just want one for S.A.S 4 and 5
Not true!!! Iphones are expensive and not everyone can afford it
Or maybe you want a phone that nails all the basics and is supported for at least 4-5 years for security and new features and will be able to handle new features of apps.
The iphone 6 is on ios12 and can do 90% of what the 11 series can do. Bot to mention, can run every app the 11 can.
Can you say the same thing about the s6? Does it have at least android 9 or 10? Lol. Can it run all the apps the s20 can with new features of the apps?
Doesn’t matter if the specs are higher if you can’t even use the phone. Looool
Reality:
iPhone: For showing off
Galaxy S6: Great Quality
+Julia Tataryn The name looks cool and the apple logo looks good on everything but once you go into the phones samsung beats it.
+Gallardo 5Million yeah, that's true, I love my galaxy s6 , the only thing is I wish I could see how many comments have likes on youtube. Other the quality is way better. Longer battery life, more data, doesn't use up data after updates and I could post more
galaxy: real smartphone
iphone: fashion/hipster phone
Not really, Apple can do great things on their phones too u know!
Also at least iPhones are not as boring or ugly as Samsung
Although i am an android fan...i still like the ios app store coz the apps are beautifully designed , have more productivity and gaming apps and developers really care since they know they are going to be paid properly. Also app store blows play store away when it comes to tablets ... so...
I would say material designed apps look better than any app from any other os
S Saini what's ugly about it?
Alland Timas Not all apps are material designed ... Material design looks stretched in tablets ...
***** Not totally....coz devs know that they will get rightly paid in iOS...but in android they know that anyone can download their paid app from a 3rd party source for free...
Rajit Roy you all are forgetting the fact that AppStore has a quality control. All the apps go through a process of evaluation before getting released to make sure it isn't malicious. so yeah, app store is the winner, if you're a developer you know you're actually getting paid, if you're a consumer you know you can trust any download you do in it, but it isn't the best store if you like to stole every app by downloading them for free and thinking you're being smart.
Wow just looking back at these old phones...we have come a long way
I said this to John Retinger and I will say it here. Mr Fisher and John are the best reviewers on UA-cam!
Check out Btekt , you will probably change your mind.
I will check him out thanks for the recommendation :)
I'm leaving iOS and getting the s6 tommorow. I cant wait this device looks stunning!
My s6 today have worst amoled burn ever, I've look my friend's 6 and its still working fine today
I'll be going from iPhone 5s to this. Is it worth it?
John Doe Yes, it's worth it 100%. I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and it was a HUGE upgrade for me especially the Quad-HD display and 16MP OIS camera with DSLR functions.
Coming from the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S6 will be an even bigger upgrade.
Get the Galaxy S6 bro!
John Doe Get the Galaxy S6!
John Doe The Galaxy S6 is 2 years technologically ahead of everything else on the market. So yes, it's worth it upgrading from the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S6. The iPhone 6s wont beat it.
John Doe Going from iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S6 will be a huge upgrade. Get the Galaxy S6.
John Doe Galaxy S6 is a big upgrade over your iPhone 5s. Get the Galaxy S6!
My personal favorite is the iPhone 6, but I also like the Galaxy S6 for other reasons. (:
If only most comments were so balanced! Kudos. ^M
Pocketnow this
Stefan C. If only the S6 had a metal back, I HATE glass backs on phones.
Have a Note 4 right now and might switch to the iPhone 6S later this year, wanted to try the iPhone anyways. I just hope that the Note 5 won't have a glass back otherwise the Note 4 will be my last Samsung until they change to metal.
Pocketnow Great review, but I don't think the Galaxy S6 looks anything like the iPhone 6. The S6 has chamfer edges, the sides are flat, the antenna bands are on the top and bottom, and the speaker holes are a different design. The iPhone has no cuts on it what so ever, it is all round.
Lol the guy has probably had the most petty arguments about tech whenever someone disagrees with his entitled opinions lol.
It's kind of crazy that someone like Michael Fisher is not mentioning the noise level on low light situations for the iPhone 6. I have both phones but as far as camera quality goes, it's not even comparable....
I promised myself I wouldn't buy another Samsung phone... but man. I might have to after all.
Alex Wohlbruck I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 is superior. Superior 16MP OIS camera with DSLR functionality, superior Quad-HD display and superior battery life. Get the Galaxy S6!
The iPhone 6's 8MP camera doesn't have OIS camera and no DSLR functionality. Also the display resolution is even less than 1080p. iPhone 6 is low tech.
FrenchVoyeur Trust me, I would never EVER consider the iPhone, but I've had the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 2 in the past years, and I just could not deal with touchwiz in all of it's hideousness. The UI has improved since the S5, I must say, but still stock Lollipop looks way better (I'm a graphic designer and I need everything to look good lol). The experience I've had with Samsung in the past has been so bad that I just swore off Samsung all together. However, I might have to take it back with this phone. It's an exception I think.
FrenchVoyeur How much better is the image quality of the S6 Camera? Not looking at facts, just your personal opinion. Is there a huge difference?
Alex Wohlbruck Agree!
Alex Wohlbruck You NEED to watch SuperSaf's video comparing the cameras on the Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6.

Michael, I love your balanced reviews and your speech pattern always remind me of Shatner or (Adam) Wests.However, I have rarely had major crashes on any andriod phone..Great stuff thanks
Bob Dunn This is true. I've had the Galaxy S6 for 2 weeks now and no crashes. I LOVE my Galaxy S6 SO MUCH!
I wouldn't say the iPhone copied the HTC antennae. Apple pioneered that design in like 2010 with the iPhone 4.
TroubleKlef Apple copied LG's Prada phone for their first iPhone. And by the way, I have the Galaxy S6, I upgraded from the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 is superior.
Marcus Jensen Cool dude.
TroubleKlef Apple DIDN"T pioneer that design in 2010. HTC Legend was the first phone to include the aluminum design in 2010 and apple Iphone 4 had a glass back in 2010. Get your facts straight
+Anurag Majumdar he's talking about the galaxy s6 and the iPhone 4
Tinu Thomas What?
With Zedge app you can download wallpapers and ring tones from the App store and Play store.
These "vs" reviews are very good but I'm curious as to why you are doing them before the actual review of the S6? Seems like that would come before these.
We always run comparisons before the full review. Result is more data/time for the (arguably) more important full review, while still allowing timely coverage in the form of the comparisons. It's a compromise that's sometimes necessary. ^M
I prefer the iPhone 6 (Plus), but the SGS 6 seems like a good phone too. Android is just too complicated for me! And I have a MacBook for school, so an iPhone and iPad is really convenient for me! :)
Tamaits Stock Android is pretty simple. If you're not into tweaking whatsoever, then the iPhone is easily the way to go.
Axel Olof Compared to iOS, android is fairly complicated
Axel Olof This is true, but we were talking about the simplicity of the OS not what you can do with it
He clearly said 6Plus which has above average battery life, torrent sounds fairly complicated and I'm guessing illegal, he isn't bargain hunting for apps, and I barely use iTunes I just use iCloud and Spotify, and when I do use iTunes it syncs automatically.
Fanboy or not at least I was being honest. So does it matter if I'm a fan. Mr android fan.
You're the best reviewer in the world. I can listen to your narration non stop. Keep doing this. You're the only person I need to listen to choose which devise I need
I still like my Nexus 5, i'm waiting with upgrading until Project Ara!
Lol... Your gonna be waiting a while.
A very long while
***** Why not the s6?
Bjarne Sihlbom A consumer version of project Ara is going to take years
What's that?
Everything is so close. But i am happy with my iphone 6 as i prefer the full metal finish rather than glass back as i had the z series earlier and i hate hate hate touchwiz. But good jump by the samsung team when we compare it to the the s5.
Great review- but it's the second review you have complained about the back button being in the upper left. System wide and almost in every 3rd party apps you can swipe from the left edge to go back. And it's amazing to use.
U forgot to mention the iphone yakes ages to charge, while the Samsung is so utterly quick.
peter stringer Yep. It's PocketNow, a pro-Apple biased reviewer. So don't expect them to represent Samsung products favorably any time soon.
Yes, charges quick, and dies fast too. LOL
Marcus Jensen Pocket now Apple biased? why because they forgot to mention ONE things? Fanboys like you disgust me.
BTW I think you meant iVerge
***** Explain why the battery of the S6 lasts longer than the Iphone 6 then
Ayush Rapson Nobody cares if it sells a lot. Your statement clearly states that you are a fanboy. So what if sells more better? It does not change the FACT that Galaxy S6 defeats iPhone 6 when it comes to charging.
What a good review, i guess the s6 is more superior..
OK OK
Pedro Torres Correct. The Galaxy S6 is technologically superior to the iPhone 6. Get the Galaxy S6!
I dont like the design though StealthTechz
Pedro Torres Galaxy S6 = High tech, uses next-gen high end specs from Samsung (the world's largest technology company).
iPhone 6 = low tech, uses outdated parts from 2 years ago.
Pedro Torres Galaxy S6 is technologically superior.
Very nice review , perfect comparison.
I've owned both, well, the edge variant of the s6. I can confidently say ive had absolutely no issues with either but Samsung really nailed the design and OS on the S6. The features are very useful, the screen and camera are in a different league and in my opinion its nicer the hold and look at. The fingerprint scanner really is as good as Apples and with features like wireless charging and edge display im happy to say of the 2 thats the one id have back. I was so impressed with the s6 edge I bought the s7 edge on launch, congrats Samsung, you've finally put functionality and features in a gorgeous well made case. Gone is tackiness of previous Samsungs, touchwiz is really impressive now, its light, fast and intuitive. Apple, listen up, take a page out of Samsungs book and copy the features people want. The S7/edge is the complete package.
- ex iPhone user.
why wont you guys review the zenfone 2?!?!?!?!
The what?
Gol. D Rodger exactly
check out my channel if you want to see a review of the Asus Zenfone 2 with 4gb of rams
only basic bitches buy apple and samsung products cause they dont know any better...
L BS can you compare it to other phones and do a video about it i want to see it comapred to other devices
Bought the Galaxy S6 unlocked on October 2015 and got the Marshmallow update 2 weeks ago. The phone has almost zero lag. Snappier, fingerprint scanner faster, camera added exposure time, free ram is 35% higher, battery lasts longer. I'm very happy with this phone.
And, BTW, I have a MacBook as my main computer.
the only reason android lags a bit is cuz it has 100x more features than iOS and its so much more open whereas iOS just has the same shit every year. I can guarantee you that if the iphone 6 were running android, it wouldn't even open an app.
Android hasn't changed much in long time either, fact is android just is slow and sluggish and needs high specs run
No matter what u say, no can deny that android is slower than iOS who actually has a brain and looks at it
Take my LG android tablet from sprint that has very similar specs to iPhone 6 and it doesn't have the so called up to date features u think android has over iOS what u think is only why android is slower, it's very basic and can't do much with it fast
It can't even barely keep up with my typing without missing letters unless I type slower
It crashes quite a bit and it's just few months old and had to factory reset it and my wife has the same tablet and same issues, but even the first gen iPad was faster
Just try running antutu benchmark on an iPhone 6 or 6plus and u can't find a dual core android device tablet or phone that scores even half what the iPhone gets
U have to get newer quad core or octocore android to be equal or beat the iPhone
This has nothing to do with iOS being such a simple OS like u think cuz when running the benchmark tests it's not using any of those features u think android has over iOS, it's just testing the CPU, cpu and ram
also note all the apps that have to start over or reboot on android when switching between apps vs apps that remember ur place
And that's a ram issue cuz I've had many android and iOS devices and I've have tons of high end apps opened on android and checked the current ram usage and there was no risk of running out of ram so that's shows it doesn't need more ram, but yet it's still rebooting apps and crashing
All these 3GB ram android devices don't even need it, u can be running pretty much all the apps u want without coming close to using it up so its not a lack of ram issue, that's just there to please people like u who think that tech specs like ram and CPU is all that matters
Even the so called beast that is the note 4 doesn't really do any better in performance than an iPhone 6 plus, technically the note 3 should have better performance than the iPhone 6 plus but it doesn't
Bryan Miller It is to do with the OS, android has more features crammed into it so it needs a lot more horsepower to run apps which is why dual core devices are sluggish.
imran sheikh still choosing speed and usability over tons of features that i will barely use. Why cant these android companies understand the concept of user experience smh...
Not anymore features that explain the slowness of simply displaying apps on the recent apps screen or even just loading the home screen wallpaper on a supposedly fast quad core phone
Burcey B I have the s5 and it never seems to lag for me. Yes it may be a bit sluggish at times but i'm willing to make the sacrifice because of all the things android can do. Lets just say that they are both good.
Mr.Fisher you are the best reviewer out there,totally a class apart!! thumbs up!!
I had an iPhone 5c and now I have the Galaxy S6. I've had a lot of apps crash since I've been using the phone and my iPhone hardly ever had crashed apps. But I am much happier with my S6 than I was my 5c. The battery life ON POWER SAVING MODE is awesome!!! I'm a heavy user of social media, games, and text messaging. I could go 2 whole days on one charge. Plus I have a car charger called "quick charger". My galaxy was on 10% and within 15 mins, the battery was on 51%!
Keep in mind iPhone 6 is 2014 model and the Samsung S6 is 2015.. Just sayin
yea but also keep in mind that the iphone is outdated about 6 years
+Mohammed AlShamsi (ShamC18) Let's put it this way. Iphone is definitely in threat
+Lane Dinges keep in mind that without the first iPhone, the galaxy would never exist as we know it
Michael Jimenez that is the one excuse that u sheeps use
+Mohammed AlShamsi (ShamC18) hey at least it won't close your apps out of nowhere
Samsung is not visually similar to Apple. Apple is visually similar to Samsung.
I will accept the bottom of the phone looks shockingly similar but Samsung have been putting their power button, volume rocker, and ports in the same place for years now. Apple suddenly decide that it would be better to you Samsung's design and in some twised way, they got credit for it.
Uncostumisable😂😂
Girl, you need some education about apple and samsung.
+Sparky - both iPhone and samsung used to have lock button on top, then samsung move to the side and iPhone did the same years later
And vice versa
+Suggestion Sasha? lol how does the samsung home button look the same as apple
I think you forgot to mention you can swipe from edge of the screen on iphone from left to right to go back, so simple and quick
Just wanna let long term iphone/apple users that started with iphone know, once you enter the apple world, you'll always come back. Don't waste money on a different phone I'm just saying. Stick with your iphone and don't keep updating your device to the point of it becoming obsolete. Wait for whatever new iphone you think will fit you best instead of upgrading every year or two. Trust me I tried to switch to samsung gs6, only to find myself constantly trying to reskin the os to an "ios look-a-like" and looking for facetime/imessage alternatives. I can't get over apples amazing ecosystem and hardware(arguable).
TL;DR Don't switch to samsung if you've been with apple first and for awhile. It's not worth the switch.
4:18 Thats probably why you can go back swiping on the bottom and not have to press the back button. o.O
I was waiting for someone to say that!!!
Just coming back for nostalgia
Great conclusion.
"There is no one size fits all........"
I must say I really do love the new touch wiz galaxy s6 is a great device but I'm concern about the battery life
its find i have the gs6 and the battery will last you all day.
really Im currently using the Sony Xperia z2 and the battery lasts me 5 days
youngbreezy Ya Xperias are very good in battery life.. They are best in the business..
You really don't need to be. It comes with quick charging and wireless charging. I currently have them both on my Nexus 6 and have no issues what so ever. I guess you could be concerned if you were away from a wall socket for 5 or 6 hrs at a time for long periods of your day, but even then I'd just bring a portable charger with me and call it a day. On my Nexus 6 I can go from 20% to 80% in like 15 minutes. I even own a quick charger for my car.
youngbreezy Here bro, check this out! It's from a reputable Japanese tech website that recently did battery test
ggsoku.com/2015/03/galaxy-s6-battery-life-test/?pos=top_story
Which one has a better camera? I don't really see differences in color but I like how samsungs doesn't make the camera too close to your face like the Iphone @8:19-8:21
If you read the comments and like iphones,
You gonna have a bad time
manny lemos 😂 same
manny lemos it’s because some people want to kill iOS users but I’m glad you aren’t like that
People need to realize that this is samsung's 2015 move. Apple has yet to make theirs. Yet, the iPhone 6 out performs it, in certain areas. Androids always deteriorate after a while, on the same firmware, once you add a shit load of stuff on it, but ios don't.
Have u used an iPhone 4s. It is slow af. But my friend has a galaxy s3 that works fine. High end Android phones outperform iPhones except Samsung sometimes cuz Samsung has touchwiz
James Zanghi
You mean high end android outperforms LOWER END iPhones. You didn't understad what I said. Yes, the iPhone 4s will perform slow on iOS 8.2, but 8.2 is NOT the ORIGINAL firmware for the iPhone 4s. iOS 5 was.
.
What I am saying is the performance don't decrease on the original software of an iPhone even if it has ZERO storage available. Androids do....
.
I think its because Android and its fragmentation issues......
reemy W I said s3. That came out the same time as the 4s. And than I was comparing new Androids to new iPhones
James Zanghi
Wrong! The iPhone 5 was released in 2012, together with the S3. The S4 was released in 2013, together with 5S. The S5 was released in 2014, together with the iPhone 6. Keep in mind, the 5S STILL outperformed the S5, even though it was an iPhone model from the year before....there are videos on here proving me correct. go watch them....
reemy W s5 sucks cuz of touchwiz. My phone(htc one m8) outperforms the 5s and it has the same specs as the s5. Just touchwiz slows it down a shit ton.
I agree with everything on the video except with the app crashing, I have my S6 since it got released to the stores and no apps have ever crashed for me.
I was so looking forward to this smartphone and then this..
- Glass
- No water resistance
- Headphone jack at the bottom
- Non-removable (and smaller) battery
- No SD card slot (and no I'm definitely not storing my stuff in a cloud)
- Resembles an iPhone 6/6 Plus
I don't get it. Does Samsung really believe that an iPhone with Android is what their users lust after? The main reason I got a Galaxy S5 was the SD card slot, removable battery, and the fact that the back is not made of glass which I can't easily replace myself if it breaks. The water resistance feature makes it much more convenient. Accidents do happen. There's no reason for me to buy this.
When they first revealed the GS6 I must admit I was a little agitated, but I got over it. I currently have an GS4 which is not waterproof so that's okay with me. As long as the phone performs great for me, 32GB internal storage would be fine because it's more than I've ever had even with expansion on my GS4. And resembling an iPhone does not make it an iPhone; it actually looks better than an iPhone honestly.
Ha lg, worse android skin than samsung.
It's not a fact, but IMO it is far worse than the latest version of touchwiz. Before they were about equal.
cance7984 Galaxy s6 ACTIVE is coming soon for you. Almost same specs as S6 with plastic case, officially certified water/choc resistance, removable battery and SD card slot. But don't expect it would be as handsome as S6(also as iphone 6) :)
cance7984 I agree with famousamos94. I actually really hated the phone when they first announced it, but to be honest, it's a pretty sweet phone. Of course it doesn't advertise that it's "water resistant", but if you look on youtube, it can last in shallow water for almost 10 minutes before becoming weird.
It may be glass, but cover it up with a phone case. I know most people who cover their phones anyway. I LOVE using my micro sd card on my s4, but for some reason, I can't transfer the entire storage (usually apps, not photos and videos) to my sd card (if someone can help me, please! I have 500 mb left!!!) The storage starts at 32gb which is a good amount, but like you, I am also upset with the no micro sd card. I guess you can just wait for the price to drop and grab the 64gb/128gb.
The battery being smaller sucks, but I've been told that it lasts the entire day so I guess it's not that bad, right? I think you can get one of those portable battery chargers so you can some extra juice.
As for the headphone jack and the iPhone resemblance, I can't help you with that lol.
Its operating system and camera is greater than ever though so if I had to upgrade my phone, this would be my new phone :D (well... maybe lol. I've been waiting for the lg g4 since forever haha)
samsung stereo sound recording video,iphone mono.stereo very good
Hi
The fact that people are having arguments over were the sim card slot is blows my mind.
Still I'm very happy with my *S6* ..😍❤✌
Biggest threat... yeah until G4 comes out
BlitzBloodFan no one gives a flying fuck about the g4
BlitzBloodFan The G4 will be a great phones, the G3 showed us what LG are capable of, but the reality of it is that LG still aren't really competing much with the iPhone. Oh and Bodybuilder X, many people care about the G4, me included.
***** It's like comparing the wii to the xbox one or ps4
Bodybuilder X kind of, atleast in terms of market power.
Bodybuilder X Same software, better overall specs than the s6. shut it
I think this is the best comparison video I've yet seen. Good job. Great phones!
the s6 shits on the iphone
Not really. s6 lags
kudo shinichi the lag only really happens when you use one of those phone themes from the theme store.
the s6 has more for it going. even the creator of this video believes samsung takes the win
It doesnt really
Nicholas Martin it does
+Abdull Mohommed how? There both amazing phones, do great things who gives a shit!
when i switch to samsung it feels better dude !!😀😀
Very fair review that highlights features on both devices very nicely.
I wish you'd be a little more polar though and tell us what your personal favorite is though.
Sold, Im selling my iPhone 5s and getting a S6. Fuck iPhones, I never knew how much better android was compared to apple.
BigSouljaSODMG I'm going through the same struggle and I don't know which to buy and the s6 is looking pretty hot
Life of Brylon go for s7 or a pixel if you're on a budget I'd go for a nexus phone or htc
don't do it. you will regret it. android phone get laggy after a while, and overheat, specially samsung phones
good idea
I prefer apple's device because of its software. I like how simple the interfaces is than samsung's. Not to bash on samsung, but I just prefer apple's user interface. Samsung's interface seems to complicated for me liking.
+Eric Zhou That's what they don't seem to understand. I think it's hard for the brats who complain about us buying iPhones to imagine that there are people who does something else than customizing their own phone and looking at it all day. I don't need my phone to show everybody who I am, I need a phone that's simple and that I don't need to think too much whilst using.
+Rellemann23 yeah you paid much more for that "simple" phone, yup money wellspent
+Rellemann23 yeah there are people who likes to have less on there phone that cost more
KuroYuui If that's what I'm looking to buy, and it's everything I wanted, it is as a matter of fact money well spent.
Rellemann23 hey i'm not going to force you or anything, your money your choice. but if its me, its not worth it...
2 things....1st - If you can organise and customize apps and widgets onto the home screen how is that not simpler than having to search and remember where the app you want to use is located especially if you can't place them in alphabetical order? #2 - Ios apps do shut down or crash as you say, it just doesn't send you a sign stating so but you still have to reopen the app..
Comparing a 7 month old phone to a phone that is not yet released doesn't make much sense.
Tells you how good the iPhone 6 is perhaps.
Its a cycle. We'll be saying the Same when the Galaxy Sy is compared to the iPhone 7 or 6s.
miamicanesfan01 It's just due to release cycles. One could've said the same about comparing the iPhone 6 to the S5 last fall. 6 months isn't that big of a difference, if we're completely honest with ourselves.
It might not, but it works in both ways. When the iPhone 7 comes out say... 7 months later, it'll instantly be slapped up against the S6.
Dante Bradley well i think they should rater compare 6s to s6 because both will come out this year ... so to me thats the same cycle ... and the s5 and iPhone 6 comparison was the last cycle ^^
s6 for me is better
Vladimir Custodio Me too! I love my Galaxy S6!
David Ferrari :D it is a real the edge but actually my range is the note i love the note 4
Vladimir Custodio Get the Galaxy Note 5!
Vladimir Custodio Galaxy S6 is very high technology. I work at Deutsche Telekom (Germany's largest telecom company) and Galaxy S6 is 60% of sales, iPhone 6 is 15% and the rest is 25%. Galaxy S6 is selling very fast here in Germany. because Germans like high technology products. It's very surprising to see Samsung outselling Apple because it's first time that happened here.
Sorry for my bad English.
Vladimir Custodio Same!
I hate when people say the App Store is equal to Google Play. Does the App Store have emulators to play roms, programs to download free music, and Showbox for movies?
No, but it does have around 5M more apps
Yes, it does.
Yes actually lmao.
+Micah Kurth More like 1.5M for both.
Damn these decisions. I'm upgrading from an iphone 4 lol
Zino B Hahaha. Android's come a long way. If you're a fan of customization, don't be afraid to give it a try. If I had to recommend two Androids, it would have to be the Moto X and S6.
there are applications to launch android ui to look like ios if you prefer that look on your phone.
im in the same boat as you upgrading from the iphone 4
Brandon Brown You should never pay premiuim prices for lower in specs. s6 is the way to go.
If you are the kind of person who doesn't upgrade his phone for more than a year or two (which I assume you are since you have an iPhone 4), I think the iPhone would be better for you since Apple keeps pushing updates to old iPhones while my Galaxy S5 is still running Android 4.4 which is about 2 years old!
I have to say that other Android manufacturers like Motorola and Google don't seem to have this problem.
My one and only advice is don't compare the specs. Performance is what matters.
ROFL .. Iphone 6 was outdated and shit the day it was released... Android phones smoke all iphone crap
Unclekreepy 100% correct. I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 is far technologically superior. I love my Galaxy S6!The Galaxy S6 is 2 years technologically ahead everything else. You wont have to upgrade for 3+ years because the Galaxy S6's technologically is so advanced and superior. The Galaxy S6 has the best camera and best display in the industry, PERIOD.
Unclekreepy This is true.
Unclekreepy Yep!
StealthTechz Agree bro!
ForzaItaliaAzzurri7 Galaxy S6 is superior.
i switched from 6 to S6. ive had the S6 for about two months now, and i had the iphone for a bit over 6 months. I have experienced both phones in great detail. the reason i switched was mainly because of the ability to download music and is sheer power, along with the beautiful new Android Lollipop (5.0) with googles material design language.. ive always had respect for my iphone. and to be honest, i do miss a lot of things about it. for example, its smooth, rounded sides, its nice matte back (i do have a matte rear screen protector so that doesnt count anymore), and even siri for gods sake. if youre going for the S6, remember that it does have better battery, better camera, and a MUCH better screen, plus wireless charging which is AWESOME. but it will be jitterish and laggy at times, (not much of a big deal to a john doe but to me it kinda is) and the home button is made of the biggest scratch magnet known to man. if youre going for the iPhone, you get design, beauty, simplicity, elegancy, and load of accessories. but you will be limited as to functionality, and access, and the battery isnt too good, especially for heavy users like me. thats my opinion
Iphone 6 2019??
Me
Me
Me
My mom has the iPhone 6
Everyone
Everyone
Everyone
(Exept for me)
August 2020 why am I here lmao
Galaxy S6 edge+ plus is the best for Android fans.
Galaxy S6 (2 year update cycle).
Galaxy s6 better camera
Galaxy s6 better screen
Galaxy s6 more features (IR Blaster etc)
iphone 6s is better in fast updates (4 years update cycle)
iphone 6s better battery life. (100% battery at night before sleeping and waking up after 8 hours the battery is still 100%) this is were apple iphone win's.
Iphone 6s has better operating system because is smooth like butter. no lag.
Excellent job with this review Mr. Fisher. The I've ever seen about these two phones.
Samsung was NOT COPY... Samsung MAKE IT BETTER
Wiktor Marcinkowski Agree! I LOVE my Galaxy S6 SO MUCH!
Wiktor Marcinkowski Agree!
Wiktor Marcinkowski True 100%
Wiktor Marcinkowski Galaxy S6 is very high tech and beautiful. iPhone 6 is low tech.
Wiktor Marcinkowski I agree.
want to hear a joke?
iphone's quality and resolution💀
George Danial wanna hear a joke? Android processor
Derek Serrano wanna hear a better joke? Apples's stock 💀💀💀
George Danial or their revenue haha
Kylie Jenner Kardashian 90% of the ppl I see walking around have iPhones :(
George Danial wanna hear a joke?
Androids camera quality
I am an all time Apple fan... And when I first heard of the Galaxy S6, it wowed me! Would love to get a Galaxy S6 anytime!
... I will wait till the iPhone 7 and or Galaxy S7 and see till' there...
Where I live the S6 is sold out everywhere
I can't get it it's impossible
Looks like it's gonna beat the iPhone in sales
Jack Frost Nope. Apple is still selling alot more.
kushdaddy144 well my area(montreal)
everyone got it and most ditched there iphones for it
kushdaddy144 False, Samsung has been dominating Apples in sales in recent years
Jack Frost are you insane? apple is almost doubling samsung sales
Tyler Mondano where I live!
S6 wins all aspectos :)
Good review, but you missed a couple things on the iPhone like with the back button, the whole left side of the screen becomes the back button by just swiping from the left edge of the screen to the right, and true the iPhone 6 is not optically stabilized, but the 6 Plus is. Wireless charging I admit is a cool feature, but its not truly wireless as you have to leave it on the charger to charge it which means you can't use it and charge at the same time if you went that route. S6 is a huge improvement over previous S-line phones so I will say that.
The only thing good about iphones is IOS
Because android sucks? Lol
Red Hood No shit. If samsung had IOS, they'd be dominating Apple like Apple was their bitch.
True
and camera
Supreme Shawn S7 edge's camera used to be better.
Easy
If you want a phone that is always fast and reliable = Get an iPhone
If all you care about is looks and a customizable phone = Get a Samsung
I just got the s6 a few days ago. Great phone - haven't really used any of the intense features yet but the simple use i've put it through so far is very impressive and easy to use. The camera is pristine.. I bought it full price 64GB - best to get the defender Otter Box
I've had Samsung my whole life and now i switched to the Iphone SE and it sucks dick. I even like my $100 LG escape 2 better.
PissedOffHoneyBadger should've went with a 6s
CapriSon Agreed, the SE is ass
Yujin J I know, the display really pissed me off about it, fucking 640? Come on apple. I get they had to cut features but damn
CapriSon I'm using a 5s and the LCD display is shit. Do all iPhones have low resolution? I'm thinking about getting a s6 with amoled HD display.
BigSouljaSODMG If you want the best resolution I suggest getting any of the Plus models. The display for all iPhones are LCD as of now tho.
Like for apple
Reply for android
Samsung is better than crapple
+Squiggle Rocka Yah, making voting for apple more convienient..... iSee what you did there.
SAMSUNG !!!!
Voting for iPhone is easier...
Wet teh fak
I've had my Galaxy S6 for almost 4 months now and I've got to say: this phone is amazing! No app ever crashed and it runs like a beast, the screen is beautiful with amazing colors, the camera is awesome, the finger print scaner unlocks the phone as soon as i touch it, the sound is really good. It's impossible to regret buying this phone
most people buy an iphone because their friends got one, ANDROID WINS
One Media Most people buy an iPhone because it is simpler, better looking, has a better camera than most Android phones, and just works better. In my opinion.
One Media Not everyone's into tech. And for them, Apple and Samsung are just fine. You could even say that most people bought a Samsung because of their friends.
***** Can't agree with you more. I wish it was different. Oh well.
And why did there freinds get an iPhone?
Stefan C. The galaxy s6 and s5 have a 16 mp camera idiot it's not better
The Galaxy S5 is STILL a better phone than the iphone 6
I know
I got the galaxy s6 a couple days ago. I'm in love with it. ♥.♥
