Comparison review
The iPhone 6s has a general score of 83, which is a bit better than Samsung Galaxy S8's general score of 81.7. The iPhone 6s is an older cellphone than the Samsung Galaxy S8, but Apple could make it just a bit lighter and just a little bit thinner. The iPhone 6s counts with just a bit better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy S8, because although it has 6 lesser and slower CPU cores and a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with an extra graphics processing unit and a 64-bits CPU.
Galaxy S8 counts with a screen that is just as good as the screen in Apple iPhone 6s, although the Galaxy S8 also has a lot higher display density, a much better resolution of 1440 x 2960px and a larger screen. Galaxy S8 captures just a bit better videos and photos than Apple iPhone 6s, and although they both have the same resolution back camera, the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same (4K) video resolution, the Galaxy S8 also has a much larger camera aperture for better low-light photos and a bigger camera sensor.
The Galaxy S8 features a little bit more storage for apps and games than Apple iPhone 6s, because although it has only 64 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that holds up to 256 GB. The Samsung Galaxy S8 features a very superior battery performance than Apple iPhone 6s, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone 6s is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S8, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy S8. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Apple iPhone 6s, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Samsung Galaxy S8, resigning some features and specifications.
