5/10/2015 1:35:00 PM


We can safely say that Samsung's Galaxy S6 is one of the best Android devices you can get. This is true due to a wide range of reasons - the superior camera, the powerful hardware, the noteworthy design, and many others. It's totally not a flawless phone, but when you put it next to its major 2015 rivals – the LG G4, the HTC One M9, etc. – the Galaxy S6 is arguably the better all-around device.

But how does it stack up against the Apple iPhone 6, a late-2014 phone that can be safely viewed as a benchmark for market success? While they're quite different in ...
