Both of these phones use Android OS, but the Galaxy S6 Edge has the previous 5.0 version and Microsoft Surface Duo has Android 10. The Galaxy S6 Edge is a incredibly older and noticeably thicker phone than Microsoft Surface Duo, but Samsung managed to build it lighter anyway.

The Galaxy S6 Edge counts with a lot better screen than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a really smaller screen and a little worse 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, it also counts with a higher screen density.

The Microsoft Surface Duo features a much better battery lifetime than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has 3577mAh of battery capacity against 2600mAh. The Microsoft Surface Duo takes just a bit better photographs and videos than Galaxy S6 Edge, although it has a much worse 11 mega-pixels resolution back facing camera, a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a tinier aperture which is not favorable for shooting pictures and/or video in low light environments.
