Comparison review

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has a general score of 85.7, which is just a bit better than Microsoft Surface Duo's general score of 78.8. Both of these devices work with Android OS (operating system), but Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has the previous 5.0 version and Microsoft Surface Duo has Android 10 version. Despite of the fact the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is extremely older and much thicker than Microsoft Surface Duo, it's body is still a lot lighter.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has a much more vibrant screen than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a little bit lower resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a really smaller display, it also counts with a higher pixels density. Galaxy S6 Edge features a little bit better performance than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM memory, and they both have 8 cores, the Galaxy S6 Edge also counts with a graphics co-processor and a 64-bit processing unit.

Microsoft Surface Duo shoots clearer videos and photos than Galaxy S6 Edge, although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for low-light captures and videos, a back-facing camera with a much lower resolution and a worse video definition. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge's memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos is very similar to Microsoft Surface Duo's one, they have the same internal memory.

Microsoft Surface Duo features a much better battery duration than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has a 3577mAh battery capacity against 2600mAh.

Although Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is a better device, it is way more expensive than Microsoft Surface Duo, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Microsoft Surface Duo. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Microsoft Surface Duo, resigning a couple specs and features.
