Comparison review

Galaxy S6 Edge has a general score of 85.7, which is just a bit better than Galaxy S9's overall score of 83.3. Despite of the fact that the Galaxy S6 Edge is incredibly older than the Galaxy S9, it's body is somewhat lighter and somewhat thinner. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge counts with a bit faster processor than Samsung Galaxy S9, because although it has 1 GB less RAM, and they both have the same number of cores, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge also counts with an extra graphics processor and a 64-bits processor.

Galaxy S6 Edge has a much better display than Galaxy S9, because although it has a little lower resolution of 2560 x 1440px and a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a quite better pixel density. Galaxy S9 counts with a quite bigger storage for applications and games than Galaxy S6 Edge, because although it has just 64 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external SD slot that holds up to 400 GB.

Galaxy S9 takes much clearer photographs and videos than Galaxy S6 Edge, because although it has a lot worse resolution camera in the back and a worse (4K) video definition, it also counts with a much larger camera aperture for better images in low light situations and a bigger back camera sensor taking better quality photographs and videos.

Samsung Galaxy S9 counts with a bit better battery life than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity.

Although Galaxy S6 Edge is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy S9, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy S9. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Galaxy S6 Edge, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy S9, resigning a couple features and specifications.
