Both Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc. have taken the smartphone market by storm — each with not just one device, but two.
Apple released the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus in last year. Both devices feature the largest screens ever on Apple smartphones, but the iPhone 6 Plus is Apple’s first phablet: A cross between a tablet and a smartphone. Its extra large display lured away many phablet fans that only stuck with their Samsung or other Android smartphones because those were the only phablet options.
Samsung released the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge lthis year. Both devices include some of the most advanced hardware, software and services specifications ever featured on a Samsung smartphone, but the Galaxy S6 Edge is currently the only smartphone on the market to feature a dual-curved display. It has the potential to attract consumers who want to play with the latest technology available.
Recent reports have compared the Galaxy S6 to the iPhone 6,noting while the Galaxy S6 is more expensive for Samsung to make, the iPhone 6 is more expensive for consumers to purchase. But will price matter to consumers when both devices are extremely expensive?

Apple iphone 6 :
The iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch Retina HD (750 x 1334 pixels) resolution display.The iPhone 6 features Apple’s dual-core A8 processor. Apple claims its chip is 25 percent faster and 50 percent more power efficient than its previous A7 chip, found in older products like the iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
Apple introduced a completely new design with the iPhone 6. In addition to making the device bigger, it favored a design with more rounded corners over the boxy designs of older iPhones. Instead of a glass back panel, Apple made the iPhone almost entirely out of metal, giving the material a matte finish.
The iPhone 6 includes a Non-removable Li-Po 1810 mAh battery (6.9 Wh), which Apple claims allows for as much as 24 hours of talk time on a 3G network, 14 hours of video play, 80 hours of music play and 12 hours of 3G Internet use, 12 hours of LTE Internet use and 12 hours of Wi-Fi Internet use.The iPhone 6 is charged via a USB 2.0 enabled lightning charger.
The iPhone 6 features an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and 1.2-megapixel front camera. The camera includes an f/2.2 aperture lens, which is a camera standard. Apple included features such as slow motion and time lapse on the iPhone 6 camera app.
The iPhone 6 features the iOS 8 operating system, which has features including third-party keyboards, interactive notifications, Touch ID development, and updates to spotlight, mail, messages and other applications.
The iPhone 6 Plus includes 1GB of RAM and 16GB, 64GB and 128GB internal storage options. Many complain Apple has not increased its RAM capaciy in several devices, but the smartphone-maker says the iPhone 6 is optimized so it doesn’t need as much RAM.
The iPhone 6 starts at 16GB of internal storage, but its next tier offers three times the space for $100 more. The iOS 8 operating system takes up about 3GB total memory, leaving users with about 13GB for their own use. This is a decent capacity, but it can fill up easily with photos and music. For this reason, the 64GB option may be the most viable option for most users.

Verdict
It goes without saying now that our phone choices are usually dictated by the software ecosystem we like best: Android or iOS. I don’t think the changes Samsung has made to the S6 series will be enough to make hardcore iPhone fans switch, but it will almost certainly light a fire under Apple’s ass to improve the hardware, specs and features (like wireless charging) inside its next-generation iPhone. But if you’re on the fence and don’t really care about the OS you use, the Samsung S6 series has some compelling features the iPhone lacks: mainly a much better camera and a more beautiful display.
Samsung should be commended for turning its lackluster S5 into something beautiful with the S6 series. Design is now taking centre stage within Samsung, and this is definitely a good thing because the hardware and specs have always been great –– we just wanted something that looked nice. With the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 EDGE, Samsung has shown it can no design with the best of them –– Apple included.
