Introduction
A good tradition was the comparison of similar products, which not only act in the same class, but many are borrowing from each other, as a result, perceived at the same level. In a detailed review of the comparison-I want to stay on the little things, and the basic things to go from the particular to the general, that would give each of these phones. I will focus not just on the technical characteristics, they are useless in isolation scenarios and on what and how you can make on these phones. What are the advantages you get from working with them.
If you know clearly that iPhone – is the best phone or Galaxy surpasses the iPhone, then close the page, and watch out your nerves. Fans of a particular device is not exactly worth reading balanced text, which deals with all the features of the examples illustrating the details and all the calculations. Having made such a reservation, let us proceed to consider devices.
The important addition. Everywhere I view the model EDGE, but apart from the curved screen, as well as prices, it has no differences from Galaxy S6, so that you can feel all the arguments also apply to this device. In the conclusions we consider it in terms of price / quality ratio, but always in the text will appear as the model EDGE closest positioning to iPhone 6s.
Housing dimensions, weight, materials and design
To discuss other people’s tastes – a thankless task. Some like one thing, someone – else, so leave the design to the side and focus on the quality of the performance and the practical consequences of this.
moved to the Samsung 7000 series aluminum alloy, the same material was used in the latest iPhone 6s. Interestingly, in comparable amounts iPhone case weighs 143 grams against 132 grams EDGE. But the dimensions are different so:
- iPhone 6s – 138.3×67.1×7.1 mm
- Galaxy S6 EDGE – 142.1 x 70.1 x 7.0 mm
In his hand, both machines are good, EDGE initially cuts rounded edge, but you get used to it quickly. Often I hear that these devices are slippery, but I have such problems never existed. Those who do not like the side edge EDGE, you can see the normal S6. He feels in the hand of the most similar with the same iPhone, there is no difference.
Most of the previous iPhone 6 users say that 6s became harder and it shows in his hand. It’s true center of gravity so that the phone is perceived weighty, it is a subjective impression in grams differences are not so huge.
The back cover on the EDGE coverage glass, metallic color plays in the sun, it is not visible fingerprints (only in certain lights). Glass of Corning Gorilla Glass 4, it is resistant to falls and beats even at falling on the pavement from a height of one and a half meters, although there is a question in your good luck, you can break the glass and ten centimeters.
The iPhone 6s used metal back with inserts for antenna, this design is different, there is no effect of metallic glint, and here we are again entering the territory of what and who like more. The question of taste. With consumer point of view, both machines have exactly the same strength and resilience.
Now, let’s get to the front of the device, namely the glass that covers the screen. It uses the Samsung Corning Gorillla Glass 4, this latest generation of development from Corning, which has a maximum strength, resistance to falls and are also resistant to scratches. Many perceive scratch resistance as a statement that they can not be all, and you can easily carry keys. Unfortunately, this is not the case, from the appearance of small scratches, no one is immune. On my phone a few months of daily use they were, and this is absolutely normal.
The iPhone 6s is mineral tempered glass. I often read on various resources that are also found glass from Corning, but no evidence for this is not there. The list of products on the website of the manufacturer Apple is missing, the list itself you can find here.
Another point relates to the fact that the glass behaves exactly the same way as on the iPhone 6, it has a lower resistance to scratches, for example, in my pocket and no keys appeared here such a long scratch from the second phone. Special phone no scratching.
It is also known that the mineral glass on the iPhone does not tolerate even a fall from a low altitude, its strength is far behind that of the Gorilla Glass. Summary Affected iPhone in the fall – a broken screen in EDGE with the same height often does without damage at all. Unfortunately, Apple is not able to access to technology Corning, as the co-owner of the company is Samsung. The result in almost the worst characteristics of the device in everyday use. Replacing the screen – this is the most expensive operation for any phone, so be careful with them. On the other hand, no one thinks that his phone will fall and break.
In this video you can see how the screen 6s usually broken when dropped from low altitude, it’s pretty significant. Let me remind you that these videos – it’s always a game of probabilities, and the phone can be broken when hitting the carpet. Another thing is that the iPhone 6 / 6s guaranteed beats in falls, and this is a proven fact, but EDGE / S6, on the other hand, is more difficult to break.
According to the materials of the housing between the two devices is almost complete parity, the difference is that the iPhone 6s little more fragile due to the mineral glass. But everything else was the same. As well as the ergonomics of the device is comparable, winning the EDGE diagonal screen at almost the same size and less weight.
I like both devices, they do not have to compromise in terms of materials, it is best that you can find on the market today.
The fingerprint is equally implemented in these models, reacts to touch, does not work on a wet surface. The rate of release is about the same in everyday life is no different.

Comparison of screen – 4.7 inches vs. 5.1 inches
Let’s take a look at the sign, which shows the characteristics of the screen, and compare them on paper.
| iPhone 6s | Galaxy S6 EDGE |
Display Type | IPS | SuperAMOLED |
Diagonal in inches | 4.7 | 5.1 |
Screen Resolution | 1334 x 750 | of 1440 x 2560 |
dpi, ppi | 326 | 577 |
The maximum brightness in the automatic mode (cd / m2) | 550 | 785 |
oleophobic coating | Yes | Yes |
The Samsung consistently improve their own screens, reduce their power consumption and make them better in all aspects. The company is a technology leader in this field. Even a comparison of the characteristics in the paper shows that the screen resolution and diagonal more higher brightness that allows you to read the screen even in bright sunlight or to see the image in the viewfinder in the form in which it will then be displayed in the gallery, after you taking a picture. Apple has no such technology, and companies have no place to buy them. The difference between the devices in this aspect very much, it can safely be described as a difference of a few generations, read, years. This situation persists for a couple of years, various products of the company, the gap to Apple can not be cut in any way.
In everyday use, if not directly compare the screens, you will most likely satisfied with both the first and second device. Moreover, I would say subversive thought – if you go to these devices with the models of previous seasons, the improvement of the quality of the screen will be marked in any way. But if you still are thinking directly compare them and choose what is best, you should keep a few important differences. In EDGE, as well as all devices with SuperAMOLED, there is an option to improve the brightness, depending on the conditions (under the terms understood as external lighting, and the content that you see). For example, in the browser when browsing the white color on the iPhone will be different, but on the Note, he bit gives in yellowness – is not a problem of the screen, and the initial setting, which is made to reduce eye fatigue and increase the battery life.
The marketing term Retina means that you are at arm’s length, while providing 100% vision, can not see the mesh screen, there is a separate point. Both devices are fully covered by this definition. But the overall impression of the text in the browser on EDGE better fonts more smooth – in the photo can be seen easily in this life is no different, even peering. But the difference is, and it is felt.
Apple iPhone 6s / Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
Here you can find professional research screen Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE, where display as the best among all the devices.
Compare screens Galaxy S6 Edge (top) and iPhone 6S (bottom)
In my view, the screen in EDGE wins the fact that you get to choose the image quality in all conditions, even indoors, even in the light. Automatic backlight adjustment works as comfortable and well. The iPhone 6s screen is one of the best among the IPS-matrix, it is at a good level, but inferior to the EDGE difficult conditions, at the same sun when shooting. Quantity settings screen is noticeably smaller, you are limited to only those profiles that you chose for the manufacturer, you can not customize the display by itself. Did you do not need this, most people believe, it is a waste of time and only default settings. And I, for example, it’s nice to change the settings when viewing a movie to get a richer picture, and at other times to use muted colors that I like in everyday life. On the iPhone, I am deprived of these settings.
The bottom line is we have a good or even excellent IPS-screen iPhone and simply the best screen in the EDGE, which in this class of devices (with such a diagonal) no a direct competitor.

Hours – Battery
You can not forehead approach over time of the device, based on the capacity of the battery, after the work is dependent on the performance of the CPU time of the screen and brightness of its lighting and other phone features. Historically the view that the iPhone – is a smartphone that lives long. As a rule, it was based on the fact that the small screen iPhone does not consume as much energy, while Android-smartphone went as far as resolution, and diagonally. In 2015, these parameters are partially offset, power consumption lower than in the iPhone for many tasks, but also the battery is less.
The battery capacity in the 6s – 1750 mAh (Li-Pol), in the EDGE – 2600 mAh. The difference is large, but whether it is large in everyday life? Just want to mention that the utility, which is in iOS9 and shows the battery life over the past 24 hours, almost did not apply to assess the real time, on the Android system utility that shows energy consumption, much better and more informative. Moreover, Apple’s traditionally mislead consumers as show time as the amount of work the screen and the background processes that in the past years forced many to believe that 6-7 hours – this time the screen. In fact it’s not. However, you may find yourself operating time display summarizing each line and see how much work the phone.
Video playback time on the iPhone – to 10 hours on EDGE – about 12.5 hours. At the same screen brightness settings. But such a comparison in the forehead rather artificial, as in life, we use different features phone, write a message, call, connect the headset to the unit and listen to music.
For nearly three weeks I have enjoyed every day of these two devices, trying to ensure a comparable load. The task is not the easiest day a day changed SIM-card to create approximately the same conditions. And what conclusions I came.
The first time these two units is approximately the same with the use of real-world scenarios. Winning EDGE in some scenarios (video, data) is not stunning, is described in a 20-25% increase in working time. For example, it is seen in the distribution of other devices on the Internet. With an average load of smartphones, they worked from morning till night, with heavy use in the tail and mane of them will last until dinner. The impression is that they are very close in time work, call a clear winner here is impossible.
Secondly, it is worth noting that the phone when not in use the best time will the iPhone, it actually freezes and does nothing. Therefore, if your phone is a long time (a week or so), then you have to taste the iPhone. This flaw soon Android, which constantly breaks something to pass in the background.
From minuses iPhone, I note a very long charging for 2-2.5 hours to full capacity. Of course, you can take the charger from the iPad, but this has a negative impact on the battery capacity and service life. The EDGE has a fast adaptive charging (acc. Charger included). In 15 minutes you can get 25 percent of the charge, which is convenient and allows you to charge your device on the go, in those moments when you find yourself near the outlet. Complete freedom charging pets, I had lost the habit to charge your phone at night, and now I do it only when necessary and when it is convenient to me.
The presence of built-in wireless charging – it is also a big plus, on the iPhone is nothing like that. This is certainly an option, and it is not the most important, but sometimes in public places where there are charging, it allows you to recharge the device in a short time.
In iOS9 were setting energy efficiency, they cut off the transmission of data, making the interface more slowly, in a word, remove all unnecessary. But dramatically increase the time they can not. The EDGE has several power saving modes, and in an extreme form, we get the hours of work for calls and SMS, as the screen becomes gray scale and consumes almost no energy. For IPS-display on the iPhone is simply impossible.
Another point which is worth mentioning. The iPhone 6s processor from Samsung while working much less about this detail can be read here.
In my unit is a processor produced TSMC, so the comparability of the models of the time working with EDGE applies only to this configuration. If you have iPhone 6s with a processor from Samsung, it will operate at 15-20 percent less. It is worth to remember that.

Performance, chipsets, RAM
I strangers buying phones without regard to their cost. It turned out that Apple fans are very proud of the way processors are optimized in your iPhone, how many virtual parrots they show in virtual tests and how to bypass other performance solutions based on a single core processor. But the problem lies in the fact that a person buys a complete solution, which already has a certain number of processor cores and such a performance. This is the choice of each company to optimize their device – to focus on the optimization of the old iron and achieve high performance by operating system (Apple) or create the most efficient solution, which is enough power for any task (Samsung). src=”http://mobile-review.com/articles/2015/image/birulki-351/4.jpg” src=”http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/comparison/apple-iphone-6s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge/scr/1.jpg” src=”http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/comparison/apple-iphone-6s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge/scr/2.jpg” src=”http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/comparison/apple-iphone-6s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge/scr/3.jpg” src=”http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/comparison/apple-iphone-6s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge/scr/4.jpg” src=”http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/comparison/apple-iphone-6s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge/scr2/2.jpg”
