The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a somewhat heavier cellphone than the Galaxy A6, but both have the same thickness.

IPhone 8 Plus features a better screen than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a greater pixel quantity per display inch and a better resolution of 1080 x 1920px. IPhone 8 Plus takes just a bit better photos and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for low light photography and video, a back camera with much less MP resolution and a smaller sensor taking lower quality photographs, it also counts with a much better (4K) video resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy A6 counts with a bit longer battery performance than iPhone 8 Plus, because it has an 11 percent larger battery size.

If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the Samsung Galaxy A6, letting go some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
