Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus


Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus

Introduction


So far, Samsung's sole offerings towards the large-screen smartphone seeking segment of customers used to be the overly work-oriented Note phablets, and the rather unimpressive Galaxy Grand & Galaxy Mega phones. There was no big-screen smartphone with an all-around premium design in Samsung's line-up to give high-end phablet buyers exactly what they're after — a beautiful, jumbo-sized phone with the latest technology. Nothing more, nothing less.

That was certainly an oversight, for this is exactly where the Apple iPhone 6 Plus came in, and that's where the Galaxy S6 edge+ wants to rule. The new S6 edge+ is a logical move by Samsung, and thanks to its many strong qualities, it could turn out to be the best, or among the best alternatives to Apple's phablet. Only time will tell how the Galaxy S6 edge+ will fare against its adversary. For now, let's have a look at the two next to each other.

Design

Handsome, premium, impeccable, and a collection of other superlatives.

The S6 edge+ and the iPhone 6 Plus are probably the handsomest phablets in existence! Not that there aren't any other respectable-looking big screen phones out there, but these two do it for everyone! Well, almost everyone, but you have to be quite the special one to try and downplay their impeccable looks. The Galaxy S6 edge+, even if it's merely an oversized S6 edge, makes for quite the show with its dual-edge curved screen and impressive metal and glass build. It's so flashy, it makes the iPhone 6 Plus, which is all anodized aluminum, appear understated in comparison. Then again, Apple's phablet isn't such an unapologetic fingerprint magnet, either!

Nearly everything found on the S6 edge is present here again with the S6 edge+, so that includes the handy fingerprint sensor, heart rate sensor, rapid charging microUSB 2.0 port, and built-in wireless charging. Save for the fingerprint sensor, which is equally easy to use on both, none of these make an appearance in the iPhone 6 Plus. Then again, we'd like to note that rapid charging and fast wireless charging would make for welcome additions to the iPhone.

The absence of SD card slots and removable batteries is what Samsung and Apple's phablets have in common, much to the detriment of power users. Another thing in common is the solid all-around construction, thanks to the choice of premium materials and serious design effort that went into putting. Despite having a larger, 5.7-inch display, the Galaxy S6 edge+ is the smaller smartphone, at 6.08 x 2.98 x 0.27 inches (154.4 x 75.8 x 6.9 mm) and 5.40 oz (153 g) of weight, while the iPhone 6 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen, measures 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 inches (158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm) and weights 6.07 oz (172 g). Still, while the S6 edge+ is better proportioned, it isn't necessarily more comfortable to hold.

With smartphones as handsome and carefully crafted as these two, words do start to come short at some point, so checking out the photos we have, or even better, seeing the two in person, is imperative. Wherever you happen to be, these bad boys will turn heads!
