Samsung S6 is better than iPhone 6 in these 7 aspects

The Apple iPhone 6 released in September last year and the Samsung Galaxy S6 released in March this year are both among the best smartphones on the market. They also represent the strongest strength of iOS and Android in the current smartphone field. Therefore, if you want to buy a flagship smartphone, you need to do some research to understand the difference between the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6. Now let's take a look at the advantages of the Galaxy S6 over the iPhone 6.

Last September, Apple took the lead in launching two iPhone 6 models to compete with the Android camp. Both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are equipped with Apple's latest processor, the best camera and higher screen resolution. In addition, both iPhone 6 models have further increased the screen size to cope with various large-screen Android devices on the market. At present, the 4.7-inch iPhone is still the preferred smartphone for users with sufficient budget.

In March this year, Samsung also launched two new Galaxy S6 flagships, with the obvious goal of targeting iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. These two Android flagships also have the current top configuration, including Samsung's own flagship processor, top camera module and 2K resolution screen. The appearance design of the two Galaxy S6s has also won unanimous praise from the outside world, just like the iPhone and HTC back then, with their own design style.

The 5.1-inch Galaxy S6 has also become the first choice for people who buy smartphones, and is one of the best choices along with the iPhone 6.

After using both flagships for a few weeks, we found that both have some advantages and disadvantages, so here we will summarize for you what advantages the Galaxy S6 has compared to the iPhone 6.

Fast charging

Both flagships can last a full day on battery, which is good, but once you leave home or the office, battery life becomes a very important factor.

Of course, if you plan to start charging your phone, the Galaxy S6 is equipped with QuickCharge 2.0 fast charging technology, which allows the phone to charge quickly after being connected to the charger, and it only takes about 30 minutes to increase the power of the Galaxy S6 from 10% to 50%.

This feature is definitely not a gimmick, it is very practical at certain times. And this is also the first advantage of Galaxy S6 over iPhone 6.

Wireless charging

The Apple iPhone 6 uses a standard Lightning port, which can be charged via a charging plug or connected to a computer USB port. In addition to charging via a microUSB port connected to a charger or laptop, Samsung also has a wireless charging function, which is definitely a very cool feature when we are in a cafe.

Samsung Galaxy S6 has built-in wireless charging module, which allows the phone to charge without any data line. Although its charging speed is not as fast as cable charging, it is very useful when we need to charge the phone while using it.

You can put the wireless charger on the bedside, desk or even dining table, and it is even more convenient to use it in the car. Therefore, in addition to the fast charging function, the support of wireless charging is also one of the biggest advantages of Galaxy S6 over iPhone 6.

Screen size

Whether it is Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6, both flagships have excellent performance in screen effects. The QHD resolution of Samsung Galaxy S6 brings very delicate effects, especially when playing games and browsing the web. Although the resolution of iPhone 6's retina HD display is not as good as Galaxy S6, it also has very powerful effects after Apple's special optimization. However, Galaxy S6 still has a certain advantage in screen size.

Samsung's new flagship has a 5.1-inch screen, which may not be big compared to other flagships, but it is still more popular than the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Maybe the 0.4-inch increase may not seem like a big deal, but when watching videos or playing games, the advantage is still obvious, which can make the user experience even better.

Many times in direct comparisons, we think the larger screen is more comfortable to use.

Storage Space

Regardless of the reason, Apple cancelled the 32GB capacity and only provided 16GB, 64GB and 128GB versions, and still does not support microSD card expansion. The contract price of iPhone 6 on major US carriers is still $199.99, and there will not be much change until the release of iPhone 6s.

Although the Samsung Galaxy S6 does not support microSD card expansion and the contract price is also $199.99, the Galaxy S6 has a minimum storage space of 32GB, so from the perspective of storage space, it has a certain price advantage. Apple may also give up the 16GB capacity version of the iPhone 6s in the future.

Camera function

Although Apple has made a lot of improvements in the camera app in iOS 8 compared to iOS 7, it is still a bit simple compared to the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S6 is equipped with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX240 camera module and provides more powerful functions in the camera app, including a series of very practical features and HDR mode.

When taking photos with the Galaxy S6, you only need to click the HDR option on the left side of the screen to turn on HDR mode. This advantage over Apple's photo function is just one of many advantages.

Maybe iOS 9 will continue to improve its camera function in the future, but at least for now, Galaxy S6 is still ahead of iPhone 6 in this aspect.

Multitasking

Although Apple's iOS system also supports multitasking, the multitasking of iOS is only able to view background applications and access recent contacts through a card layout. Apple has never provided a true multitasking function, and the Galaxy S6 is the only one that can be called a true multitasking system in front of the iPhone 6.

Samsung has equipped the Galaxy S6 with many very practical multitasking features, such as multi-window view. This feature allows you to do one operation while doing another. For example, you can chat and watch a video at the same time without delaying either.

Smart Lock

The iPhone 6's Touch ID has set the trend of fingerprint recognition in the smartphone industry, so it's no surprise that the Galaxy S6 has this feature. Compared with last year's Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S6's fingerprint recognition function has been greatly improved, and the user experience has been greatly improved.

Although both have fingerprint recognition function, the Smart Lock function on Galaxy S6 is ahead of iPhone 6 in the use of fingerprint recognition.

In the Android 5.0 Lollipop system of Galaxy S6, we can let Galaxy S6 authorize trusted Bluetooth devices or geographic locations. In this way, we can leave the phone at home and use Bluetooth headsets in the car. This is also a big advantage in improving the convenience of our lives.
