In the interim, the iPhone 6 comes in with comparable costs labels. The 16GB model (which Samsung doesn't offer), is £539. There's no 32GB model – Apple rather skips straight to the 64GB model, which costs £619 so £60 not exactly the Samsung proportionate. The 128GB model is likewise marginally less expensive at £699, a £20 sparing. Obviously, Samsung's cell phone has a bigger screen at 5.1in so the extra cost is not amazing. On the off chance that you decide on Apple's bigger 5.5in iPhone 6 Plus, you're taking a gander at a beginning cost of £619 for the 16GB model straight up to £789 for the 128GB model. 

Accessibility for both of these cell phones in the UK is really clear: both are out now and both are accessible from most telephone shops and bearers. The iPhone 6 is a touch more seasoned, initially dispatched in September 2014, while the Samsung Galaxy S6 was disclosed at MWC in March of this current year. This does imply that the iPhone 6 will be supplanted by a more current cell phone sooner than the S6 – the following (iPhone 6S, iPhone 7?) is normal

IPHONE 6 VS SAMSUNG GALAXY S6: DESIGN

The S6 retains the style of a Galaxy S flagship, but Samsung has tackled plastic build quality complaints head on with a new metal chassis and Gorilla Glass 4 front and back. You could even argue that this Samsung smartphone looks a teeny weeny bit like an iPhone 6.

Indeed, the bottom of the Galaxy S6 is very similar to the iPhone 6 with drilled holes for the speaker, a central USB port and the headphone jack. Samsung claims that its flagship is ever so slightly thinner, though - just 6.8mm against the iPhone's 6.9mm. However, when we measured it we found that it was 7.1mm. Funnily enough, Samsung made a few jibes at Apple at its launch event, pointing out that this super-thin phone won't bend (see our sister title Macworld's article on the iPhone 6 Plus Bendgate if you're not sure what Samsung was referring to there). The S6 is also 9g heavier than the iPhone 6, but you're unlikely to notice that.

The iPhone 6 is available in three colours: Silver, Gold or Space Grey, all of which are anodised aluminium and super-stylish. The S6, on the other hand, comes in Blue Topaz, White Pearl, Gold Platinum and Black Sapphire. The Blue Topaz and Gold Platinum are an acquired taste with a garish shiny mirror finish but we love the white and black options.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 likewise utilizes another Apple-style touch-as opposed to swipe style unique mark scanner, additionally incorporated with the home catch, and loses its waterproofing accreditations. As before you'll discover a heart-rate scanner on the back. 

As far as measurements, there's little difference.The Galaxy S6 is a bit greater becuase of the bigger screen however both are just shy of 7mm thick. The iPhone 6 is insignificantly lighter at 129g contrasted with 138g. 

One more plan component that conveys crosswise over both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 is the distending camera. We'll speak more about the camera's specs beneath, however both of these cell phones have cameras that stand out on the back, implying that they'll shake when put on a work area.

IPHONE 6 VS SAMSUNG GALAXY S6: HARDWARE

Screen

This is where the major differences between the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 start to become clear. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has an amazing screen, and while the iPhone 6's Retina display is no dud, it's completely blown out of the water by Samsung's flagship.

First let's take a look at the screen sizes: The iPhone 6 has a 4.7in display, while the Samsung Galaxy S6's display is slightly bigger at 5.1in. We think both of these phones are manageable in size, any bigger or smaller and we start to complain about the lack of screen estate or the inability to squeeze into a pocket.

When it comes to the resolution, the iPhone 6 offers a Full HD display at 750x1334 pixels, equating to 326ppi. The Samsung Galaxy S6, however, has an incredible Quad HD (1440x2560) Super AMOLED panel with a staggering 577ppi pixel density.

Although AMOLED isn't for everyone, we certainly prefer the Galaxy S6 to the iPhone 6 in this area with that extra space and unbelievable crispness.

Whereas Apple also offers a larger version (the iPhone 6 Plus), Samsung's variant is a dual-curved-edge smartphone known as the Galaxy S6 Edge. We're awaiting more details on the possibility of a forthcoming Galaxy S6 mini and Galaxy S6 Active.

Processor and memory 

As we suspected, Samsung discarded the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 for its own Exynos 64-bit octa-center chip, which has four centers running at 2.5GHz and four at 2.1GHz, with one intended for proficiency and the other execution. 

Then, the iPhone 6 uses Apple's own A8 processor, a 1.4GHz 64-bit double center chip. This it matches with 1GB of RAM, though Samsung determines an astounding 3GB. Before you expect the Samsung will leave the iPhone afterward, recollect that these two telephones run diverse programming - the iPhone 6 is quick. 

As should be obvious in the benchmark comes about, the more seasoned iPhone takes 3 out of 4, mostly due to the lower determination screen yet the Galaxy S6 is still forcefully amazing. They are both first class in the execution stakes so look somewhere else to part them.
