on one hand we have Samsung's latest and greatest for 2015 and then the other we have the smartphone that is trying to beat I'm hiding that I read of a pocket now here at MWC 2015 and Barcelona and this is a quick hands-on comparison of the galaxy s6 versus the iPhone 6 Samson just spent the last couple of hours comparing the galaxy s6 the devices like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus and the reasons why are clear Apple sold 75 million iPhones matching all of Samsung smartphones for the first time ever last quarter so Samsung really needs to do something about it when you see them side-by-side there are just as many similarities as there are differences between these two looking at them it's hard to tell them apart from the side or even from the bottom something which we know will gather some mixed publicity for Samsung even their aluminum construction 64-bit proprietary processors fingerprint scanners non removable batteries and lack of expandable storage could easily tell you that these both devices are siblings but their similarities in their the galaxy s6 has a larger 5.1 inch display compared to the 4.7 inches on the iPhone 6 almost 200 more pixels per inch in its quad HD display three times more RAM twice the megapixel count in its primary camera optical image stabilization and better lens aperture compared to the iPhone 6 and even four times more pixels in the front facing camera with far better aperture compared to the iPhone 6 again the galaxy s6 is almost 5 millimeters taller 3 millimeters wider and nearly 0.1 millimeters thicker than the iPhone 6 something that makes all the sense in the world when you have a phone with wireless charging in a much larger battery as well even the construction of the galaxy s6 looks more premium with its glass on the glass aluminum back there to the ugly antenna carvings of the iPhone 6 samsung has clearly raised the bar when it comes to the design of the galaxy s6 for the most part but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything is positive the galaxy s6 is the worst fingerprint magnet that we've ever seen by far a problem which the iPhone 6 user doesn't really need to suffer at least in the back that being said both devices feel premium in the hand and we'll leave it up to our full review to determine well these materials last but overall you don't seem to have a lesser phone on either hand here probably the only disappointing part of the Galaxy s6 is that TouchWiz couldn't look more similar to which predecessor surely the company has invested in making it more intuitive but it looks like a rush product where skeuomorphism is more predominant in the homescreen and then gone in the settings menu a lot of inconsistencies iOS 8 may not necessarily be everybody's cup of tea but apples flattered design is more consistent and available throughout the UI even though that's not necessarily better so far our first impressions of the Galaxy s6 is that it's is a far better contender to the iPhone than any previous galaxy ever was but our full review should tell you more we have more coverage of MWC 2015 coming up so make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our youtube channel as well you can follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore Tory betta please give this video a thumbs up if you like what you saw I am hi never be a better front pocket now here at MWC 2015 in barcelona there is a lot more coming up
