The Huawei Mate X counts with a quite superior processing power than Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, because it has 4 GB more RAM and a larger number of cores (and faster). Galaxy S6 edge+ takes better videos and photos than Huawei Mate X, although it has a much tinier sensor which gives a much lower photo and video quality, a back-facing camera with way less megapixels resolution and a smaller aperture which is not favorable for taking images or video in low-light environments.
