what's going on guys lawn here from Android authority and the axon phone is a powerhouse of a phone on the spec sheet but how does it compare to one of the best flagships on the market right now this is your quick look of the axon phone versus the Samsung Galaxy s6 it's not too often that we see smaller OMS go head-to-head on the design front with major smartphone makers like Samsung but that's exactly what we're witnessing today placing form over functionality Samsung really ramped up its design language with the galaxy s6 making it one of the most attractive smartphones on the market with that said the brand new axon phone may give it a run for its money when it comes to design although these are both extremely premium feeling devices it's easy to spot the differences between the two right away the axon phone features an industrial design language thanks to its sleek metal body and unique front facing speaker grills this device does its best to offer up a heavy duty aesthetic without sacrificing its classy look and feel which will translate well for those in search of the best of both worlds while it doesn't feature too many design elements that help it stand out from the crowd the axon phone is still a really great-looking device that will probably catch the eyes of many consumers out there on the other hand the s6 is one of the best design smartphones Samsung has ever produced thanks to its aluminum frame that surrounds two panels of Gorilla Glass 4 there's no mistaking that this is a Samsung device through and through largely due to the tactile home button up front which is flanked by the typical capacitive recent apps and back buttons both of these devices feel very substantial in the hand although the axial on phone is clearly the larger of the two and pretty much every dimension much like comparing the latest from Samsung would say the all-metal HTC One m9 your decision to go with either phone will depend a lot on which material you like better metal or glass both the ax on phone and the Galaxy S six offer up an impressive quad HD resolution display but the galaxy s6 may be the one for you if you're looking for a more compact form factor featuring a 5.1 inch play with a pixel density of 577 PPI Samsung's offering comes with a Super AMOLED panel that might entice more users with its vivid colors and great viewing angles but for those who are looking for a bigger display the axon phone will do the trick with its 5.5 inch TFT LCD panel even though this device is 534 PPI isn't quite as high as the pixel density found on the s6 we'd still wager to say that the axon phone will be a great option for viewing videos and playing games when it comes to under the hood specification samsung's s6 really impressed us thanks to its in-house Exynos 7420 processor with three gigs of ram performance has been absolutely fantastic with this device especially when it comes to switching between apps gaming and web browsing on the other hand the ax on phone feels really fast as well it comes with a Snapdragon 810 CPU backed by a massive four gigs of RAM along with the popular Adreno 430 GPU performance seems great so far and the stock like software experience is definitely a contributing factor both devices feature non-removable batteries and in samsung's case this has proven to be quite the downfall the s6 only features a 25 50 milliamp hour cell which has failed to impress us in our time with the handset obviously we'll need to spend some time with the axon phone to test battery life in full but the larger 3000 milliamp hour unit has was feeling hopeful where the galaxy s6 gets the leg up is in storage now that one of these phones comes with microSD card expansion but the axon phone only comes in a 32 gigabyte configuration which may not be enough for some people whereas the galaxy s6 you have the option of 32 64 and 128 gigabytes so if you need more storage to galaxy s6 is definitely the way to go and because of the axons phones metal chassis wireless charging isn't supported however if you're looking for that added convenience the s6 supports both PMA and chief standards the galaxy s6 boasts one of the best smartphone cameras on the market thanks to its crystal clear 16 megapixel rear facing shooter with optical image stabilisation it consistently produces clear well-balanced images both indoors and out the camera app is quick simple and offers up tons of controls for those who'd like to tinker with each shot the axon phone on the other hand comes with a 13 megapixel rear shooter and interestingly enough features a secondary two megapixel lens just like the One m8 from a couple years ago the dual lens helps to capture depth information provide for faster autofocus and the ability to refocus shots after the fact with an aperture of f-18 the axon phone should be really great in low light and that's something we'll be really eager to test out with the software the galaxy s6 runs android 5.1 lollipop with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top and it's actually very pleasant to use Samsung toned down its software experience with the s6 which not only helps with the device's performance but also gives the user an all-around better experience with the device there are still a boatload of Samsung's software features built-in that many users might not be too fond of but this new version of TouchWiz is still the best Samsung has ever put out in contrast the axon phone really couldn't be any more different from a Samsung handset it runs android 5.1.1 lollipop out of the box with a near stock android experience there are a few pre installed applications like argos and roc my run for tracking your fitness and a few extra features but the interface does a really great job of preserving Google's material design aesthetics so far the software experience has been speedy and easy to use and will probably be a more attractive option for those looking for a simpler user interface with the axon phone packing so much great hardware inside and out it's going to naturally be compared to many of the major flagships out there especially the ones who have made a name for themselves and it's going to be very interesting to see how axon fares from this point forward as always thank you guys so much for watching this video if you did enjoy it please give it a thumbs up down below and also
