Despite the fact that Galaxy S6 has the same front-look as that of its predecessor, Samsung has certainly raised up its game by introducing an all-new design for its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. The bezel is made up of shiny metallic frame, the cheap plastic back has been replaced with a glass back panel, this is how Samsung has come up with stunning devices the company has ever made.

Galaxy S6 really shines when it comes to the internal hardware, where iPhone 6 falls short on many fronts. Samsung has offered Galaxy S6 entry level model with 32GB of storage capacity, while iPhone 6 starts with 16GB, 3GB RAM over iPhone 6’s 1GB, better low light performance of front-facing camera with f/1.9 lens. Previous swipe to unlock fingerprint sensor has been replaced with an iPhone 6 like touch to unlock fingerprint sensor. Faster charging feature of Galaxy S6 allows users to charge their devices with up to 4 hours of battery life in only 10 minutes of charging. 577dpi pixel density, and built-in wireless charging are also the plus points of the Galaxy S6.

Samsung has also promised a lighter version of TouchWiz with 40% less bloatware in Galaxy S6. Still it is going to be tough to beat Apple on Software front, ease of use, and tight software, hardware and services integration.
