The Samsung Galaxy S6 features a bit sharper display than Xperia Z4v, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, and they both have an equal resolution of 2560 x 1440px, the Samsung Galaxy S6 also counts with a just a bit higher pixels density. The Galaxy S6 counts with a very superior memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Xperia Z4v, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory.

The Galaxy S6 features a little faster CPU than Xperia Z4v, and although they both have 3 GB of RAM memory and 8 processing cores, the Galaxy S6 also has a 64-bits CPU and a faster graphics co-processor running at 650 megahertz. The Xperia Z4v counts with just a bit better battery duration than Samsung Galaxy S6, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity against 2550mAh.

The Xperia Z4v shoots just a bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy S6, because although it has a smaller aperture which is worse for low-light captures and videos, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video quality, the Xperia Z4v also counts with a larger back camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a camera in the back with a much better 20.7 megapixels resolution.

Galaxy S6 costs a little more than the Xperia Z4v, but it's still a great choice, as you can get a better phone for that extra money.
