The Galaxy S6 counts with a little more vivid display than Sony Xperia 1, although it has a little worse pixels count in each inch of screen, a lot worse resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a lot smaller display.

The Galaxy S6 has just a bit better performance than Xperia 1, because although it has 3 GB lesser RAM memory, and they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Galaxy S6 also counts with a 64-bits CPU and a GPU. Samsung Galaxy S6 features a little bit better camera than Sony Xperia 1, because although it has a tinier camera aperture, and they both have a 0.38 inches back camera sensor and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S6 also counts with faster 30 frames per second video frame rates and a way higher resolution back facing camera.
