Comparison review

The Galaxy S6 construction is a little bit lighter and a little thinner than iPhone 8, even though it was released many years before. IPhone 8's processor is just as good as the CPU in Galaxy S6, and although the iPhone 8 has an inferior number of cores (but faster), doesn't have an additional graphics processing unit and less RAM, they both have a 64 bits CPU.
The Galaxy S6 counts with a much more vibrant screen than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a lot better number of pixels per display inch, a much higher 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution and a little bit bigger screen. The Apple iPhone 8 counts with a bit better camera than Galaxy S6, because although it has a smaller sensor which provides a lower photo and video quality, a back facing camera with lot less mega pixels and a lower (4K) video resolution, it also counts with a bigger camera aperture.
The Apple iPhone 8 features a lot bigger storage to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy S6, because it has more internal memory. The Galaxy S6 has a superior battery life than Apple iPhone 8, because it has 2550mAh of battery capacity.
Galaxy S6 is not only the best phones between the ones we are comparing, but it's also by far the cheapest, which makes it an easy decision.
