Galaxy S6 edge+ takes clearer photos and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for taking photographs and video in low-light environments, and they both have a same resolution back facing camera, the Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a way better (4K) video definition and a bigger back-facing camera sensor providing a higher image quality.
Galaxy S6 edge+'s battery duration is very similar to Galaxy A6's battery lifetime.
Although Galaxy S6 edge+ is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy A6. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the Galaxy A6, letting go some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
