The Galaxy S8 has a little bit more memory for applications and games than iPhone 6s, because although it has less internal storage capacity, it also counts with a slot for an SD memory card that supports up to 256 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 captures a bit better pictures and videos than Apple iPhone 6s, and although they both have the same video frame rates, a same resolution back camera and the same video resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S8 also has a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a much bigger aperture to take better low-light photography.
Samsung Galaxy S8 counts with a much better battery performance than iPhone 6s, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity against 1715mAh.
