Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus versus iPhone 6s Plus- Battle for supremacy
Which is the better Smartphone, iPhone 6s Plus or Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus?
In the current era, phones are judged by the size. If your phone is less than 5 inches, changing it should have been part of your New Year’s resolution.
Apple and Samsung are among the key players in the market of phablets. The two companies are famous for their high-end phones. But, the popularity is based on the quality of the gadgets. The iPhone 6s Plus was released towards the end of 2015. Samsung released the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus in August 2015. Since the release of the two flagship phablets, they have been the talk of technology geeks. It is only fair you learned the differences between the two- the difference does not lay on the names alone but also the specifications.
Operating system
Let me start you off with the most obvious difference, the operating systems. The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus runs the latest Android, Android 5.1 (Lollipop). All Apple gadgets run the iOS. The difference between the operating systems is a story for another day. But it’s pretty obvious Android is more user-friendly while iOS guarantees security and privacy.
Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus has an octa-core processor, which clocks at 3.4GHz. The rival has a core duo processor that clocks at 1.8GHz. Before you conclude the Galaxy S6 Edge plus is better in performance, consider that it has an A9 chipset. Both devices run well, but the iPhone 6s plus has a RAM of only 1GB. The 8-core processor plus the 4GB RAM in the Galaxy Edge Plus are both guarantees of excellent multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus has an internal storage of 32GB. The 64GB model is available. Both phones do not support external SD cards.
Winner-Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus
Verdict
Both phones have similar specifications. However, consumers of high-end phones are loyal to the brand and hardly consider the specifications. By considering the basic aspects of a smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is a little bit superior to the iPhone 6s Plus.
