Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy S6 has an overall score of 87.4, which is a bit better than the Apple iPhone 8's 85 general score. The Samsung Galaxy S6 design is just a bit lighter and a little thinner than Apple iPhone 8, although it was released 3 years before. Samsung Galaxy S6 features a way better looking display than iPhone 8, because it has a way better pixels density, a quite larger screen and a much better 2560 x 1440 resolution.
IPhone 8 counts with a very superior storage for applications and games than Galaxy S6, because it has 256 GB internal storage capacity. The Samsung Galaxy S6's processor is just as good as the Apple iPhone 8 one, and although the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a GPU, a larger number of cores (although they are slower) and 1 GB more RAM, they both have a 64-bits processing unit.
Galaxy S6 features a very superior battery duration than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a 2550mAh battery size against 1821mAh. The iPhone 8 shoots a little bit better photos and videos than Galaxy S6, because although it has a worse video quality, a much less mega pixels resolution back facing camera and a tinier sensor taking lower quality videos and pictures, it also counts with a larger aperture.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 not only is the best devices of the ones we are comparing, but it's also very cheap compared to the other devices, making it a no doubt choice.
