Feedback about Samsung Galaxy S6 from iPhone 6 Plus user
Please Subscribe to our YouTube Channel
I recently sold my iPhone 6 Plus, because iPhone 6s Plus will be launched next month and the price for the older version will get reduced. So, I sold the device before it gets launched. I didn’t have any good experience from Samsung mobiles, but I thought to give Galaxy S6 a try, because I heard many good things about it.
iPhone 6 Plus was my first Apple smartphone that I bought, and I liked it because of these reasons
- The touch is so smooth that you love to type, I never had an amazing typing experience before even with Galaxy Note 4.
- While browsing, the page doesn’t reload every time you go back that saves lots of data.
- After minimizing the web browser, when you reopen, it doesn’t refresh and shows the page right away.
- Even with 1GB RAM, it is so smooth to run multiple apps and Games at the same time.
- Battery was good enough to run all day.
- As I have a Macbook, it was a great companion.
- I was able to disable cellular data for each and every app according to my need, and could also manage permission of any app whether I want them to access camera, contacts or location or not
- Premium design
- Finger Print Sensor is well managed, and I can say it is the best in the smartphone industry, because of the round shaped button that allows the finger to fit easily.
- It has Siri that do lots of your tasks.
What I felt while using Samsung Galaxy S6
The Good
- The display quality is better than iPhone 6 Plus, it looks sharper because of the high resolution.
- The touch and Typing is also smooth.
- The Camera is better than iPhone 6 Plus.
- Samsung took a next step first time improving the design leaving the plastic material behind.
- Its faster charging helps to charge your device quickly that is very useful when you are going somewhere and you need to charge your device quickly.
The Bad
- The major issue is the battery that needs to be charged twice a day.
- The device is fast, but stability is lost somewhere. The browser refreshes when you open it again after minimizing it. When you go to the back page, it refreshes every time. After minimizing a game, when you open again, it takes more time to come back to the same screen.
- I can’t manage app permission properly, like not allowing any specific app to access contacts, camera, location, mobile data etc.
The display size is smaller than iPhone 6 Plus, but I can’t call it a bad feature. It’s compact and the best size for a smartphones. However, I like something bigger that makes typing more comfortable. Galaxy S6 doesn’t have any feature that can do as much as Siri can, but there are some apps that can do little. However, Microsoft Cortana is coming to Android soon that can do better I hope.
If you want to share your own experience about both the models (if you have used), please let us know. we must have missed something or some feature that you love a lot on Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 Plus, that I would love to know from you.

I personally would have rather seen a comparison with the nexus personally.

Mr. NorWood, I would have done so as well. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to use Google Nexus device. I bought galaxy S6 for the time being to test, because I am waiting for Apple to announce iPhone 6S Plus, then I will think whether it suits me or not.
I know one good thing about all Nexus device is that they get Android updates before than any other Android Phones. I have no idea about its features.
If you have used both the device (you want to compare), you can write a content. That will be published after review.

Hmm that wouls be neat. I do own a nexus 6 as a daily driver.
August 3, 2015 @ 7:55 am
What other mobile have you used? iPhone 6 / 6 Plus or Galaxy S6?
August 3, 2015 @ 8:13 am
I’ve used all 3 but have never owned them. The s6 to me still has the same lag issues that touchwiz always had but with faster loadtimes. As for the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus they feel somewhat the same as they always had and more. But the thing is that it’s hard to compare the iPhone to the Galaxy because to me the Galaxy is not the true Android experience. That should go towards the Nexus.
Stock android running on the Nexus series to me has always been a step up compared to other android phones. It has a very similar performance that the iPhone has, which is a very smooth and almost lagfree experience. Which is why it’s painful to see Samsung phones at the forefront in comparison to the iphone considering that the Nexus gets updates almost as fast as iOS as well as having similar speeds and lagfree experiences compared to ios.
The nexus basically in short should not be seen as a feature phone, but should be seen as a basic use phone which puts apps on the forefront before useless features while at the same time having an excellent amount of speed and specs to utilize these apps. I can go into more detail but I don’t want to get too deep into it.

Cool! You can write an article and mail me to techgrapple@gmail.com…. Also provide your bio that needs to be included. Provide references of other articles if you want to….. Be honest. Any Phone can’t be the best than all other, like Nexus 6 can’t beat iPhone 6 or S6 in terms of camera. So Mention good as well as bad what you feel… Good Luck!

I’ll do that. Thank you for allowing me to do this. Do you want any limits on length for the website?
August 3, 2015 @ 9:40 am
Don’t worry about the length… Don’t put yourself in limit.

If you want a screen the size of the iPhone 6, you get the Galaxy S6 (the Galaxy Series has been out for quite some time before iPhone decided to join the party). If you want a screen the size of the iPhone 6+ – you get the Note. So I don’t think the screen size is fair comparison here.

I understand the face about the display, this is why I didn’t say it’s a bad feature, rather this is good. However, Note 4 is not as smooth as S6. There is a huge difference in Note 4 and S6 display and smoothness. That’s the reason I didn’t compare Note 4. I think Samsung will do something better with Note 5. Let’s see!
I got your point about Quick charging and I am including in the article. 🙂
