Comparison review
The Galaxy S4 has a general score of 76.1, which is a little bit better than Galaxy A6's 75.8 score. The Galaxy S4 construction is somewhat lighter than Galaxy A6, but it is just a bit thicker and was released 5 years before. The Galaxy S4 has a lot better display than Galaxy A6, because although it has a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a higher resolution of 1920 x 1080 and more pixels per display inch.
Samsung Galaxy A6 has a much greater storage capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S4, because it has 32 GB internal memory capacity and a slot for an SD memory card that allows up to 400 GB. Galaxy S4 features a bit more powerful processing unit than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has lesser processing cores (but faster) and a smaller amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a graphics processor.
Galaxy A6 has a slightly better camera than Galaxy S4, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same (Full HD) video quality, the Galaxy A6 also has a more mega pixels back camera, a bigger back-facing camera sensor and a lot larger aperture to take better photos and videos in poorly lited environments.
Samsung Galaxy A6 features just a little bit longer battery lifetime than Galaxy S4, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Samsung Galaxy S4 is a better device, it is more expensive than the Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy A6. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S4, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy A6, giving up a couple specs and features.
