If you want a great camera, don't need 64gb storage, and prefer the drag and drop, free nature of Android, get the S6. If you don't tinker with it, its a great phone, and definitely holds up to the 6s.

If you need 64gb and don't care for decent photo's, get the 6S.
[Galaxy S6 General] mcord11758:
I appreciate the feed back but a key point which I neglected to mention is that Jailbreak/root is not an option as it is a company phone with software that monitors such activity. So although I root everything I own typically, although I have not rooted my shield Tv, it would not factor in this decision.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
Samsung Knox is great for storing sensitive data as long as your password is strong for it and you use a fingerprint.

In general you shouldn't need to root the S6 to enjoy it, and the 6s will work okay too.
[Galaxy S6 General] SAVVAS.:
Get the IPhone 6S 64GB, take good care if it for about 2 weeks and then sell it for a good price and get S7 for more or less the same money. This way your dilemma which phone is superior (S6 v 6S) is solved without any doubt ,as S7 will kill both of them.
[Galaxy S6 General] mcord11758:
appreciated but also not an option due to company phone restrictions. I do not have the ability to switch phones myself. Everything is done through a work flow.
[Galaxy S6 General] SAVVAS.:
Then I will agree with the same reasonings (S6 ) as with others especially now that Marshmallow is rolling out!
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Get the 6S! The S6 is a fantastic device, but for a company phone you should get a 6S. Then you can buy an S6 or Android phone later as they'll be much cheaper when buying on your own.

Company phone means get Apple. Personal means Android, at least for me!

The 6S performance is much better than S6, but the design is plain ugly to me.

Get 6s 6s 6s :D

LG G4 if you want the best smartphone camera around. That's coming from someone who has directly compared the two.
[Galaxy S6 General] Casosko:
You can always get the s6 and get a launcher to make it look like iOS. And you can add music with ease to the device. You can use Google docs to save files to your local storage on the phone. The s6 can do more, why limit yourself?
[Galaxy S6 General] kzakhar:
Simply put, S6 is overall a better device, 6S is overall a better experience.

I faced the same choice back in December 2015, sometimes I wish I had chosen the 6S.
[Galaxy S6 General] e34v8:
Get the 6S. You can always sell it and get an Android phone later , if you can't stand the iOS difficulties (there are many).

Too many second hand iphones on the market so dont buy one of those as you will loose money from the second you open the box . As for the s6 and edge both phones are way cheaper now and are good phones . But go for the 64 gb + models as that gives you more room for the future
[Galaxy S6 General] thegtfusion:
if its a company phone i would take the 6s. private i would take the s6!
[Galaxy S6 General] mcord11758:
thanks for the replies. I ultimately ordered the S6. Being cheap was probably my main motivation, spending an extra $100 for the 6s was too steep for me for a phone that is not truly heads and shoulders above the S6 and I guess some would debate if it is better at all. My company phone is my only phone so it is a duel purpose personal and work phone. Work purposes I need to check emails, make calls, and uses salesforce. I am sure the S6 will accommodate.

so pissed though, was holding out for the S7 then this weekend I killed my current phone. I can not function without a phone in my profession so my hand was forced
[Galaxy S6 General] mflajsek:
6s!! You'd have to root your S6 to get nearly as good phone as your 6s! You won't regret it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Rekan_:
To me it seems you lucked out... I just sold my S6 to get an 6S because Samsung's Android Touchwiz is terrible. But the battery life in the S6 is something special, lasts my a whole day with 20% left with heavy hotspot usage.
[Galaxy S6 General] eSu.Matix:
Truth is that both devices are equal in terms of what the yoffer. Incredible camera, best SoC, awesome display.

Camera and Display are better on S6 but not by much.

Battery life is terrible on both devices but 6S standby time is way better.

iOS is simpler OS and I think it's better if your not going to root and customise your phone.

You need a decent case and glass, cause both phones are fragile.

If I was you I would go with 6S mainly because of updates and the fact that you can sell 6S for way higher price than S6 in 1-2 years time.

[Galaxy S6 General] Rakcoon:
If you can't jailbreak/root either one, go with iphone.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
The problem with Android is that so many things can cause battery drain and you have to pin them down to get decent battery life. Disabling everything is stupid and counter productive to having a powerful smartphone.

On iOS, standby time is pretty much guaranteed and the only vampire in most cases is versions of iOS itself. Third party apps only suck battery life so long. Once they are in standby for a reasonable time, iOS pretty much doesn't let it go rogue in the background!

Also the minute the S7 comes out, you'll be lucky to get more than $200 for your used S6!

Too many good phones came out last year!
[Galaxy S6 General] defybest:
I have to be honest, both are very good phone, both Samsung and Apple. Coming from iOS and Android user.

Apple traditionally dominate touch latency, but not anymore. The S6 is truly amazing with 36ms touch response.

For a cheaper price tag, so call 'future proof' 64bit 14nm Exynos 7420, buttery smooth Android experience, customization, hack or whatever android offer, you may go for Samsung Galaxy S6.

Buying an iPhone is like looking / asking after the possibilty to "buy" AIDS / HIV on the black market. And want to get thrown in jail at the same time.

It is not even worth it. No way.

Go for the Galaxy S6 - one of the most beautiful phones that I ever have touched in my entire life. You'll not regret it, I promise.

[Galaxy S6 General] madnav:
This might be the worst time to purchase a smartphone.

It would be strongly advised to hold you purchase for a month with Samsung S7, Lg G5, and HTC M10 being announced in next 10days. Availability/announcement of these should atleast have impact on cost of S6 even if you woulld not want to purchase any out of Samsung S7, Lg G5, and HTC M10.

To stick to topic:

I would suggest you purchase a used phone (S6 i would recommend) from swappa to avoid high depreciation if incase you change you mind post release of above mentioned phone (to change phone again to new one).
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Op clearly stated he can't wait and needs a phone for work asap.
[Galaxy S6 General] ZoZo-:
The only real reason iOS seems "faster" and "not laggy" compared to Android is because the extensive use of animations. It usually takes longer time to open things on an iPhone compared to a top Android phone but it also is a lot smoother with no stutter at all while opening the app or inside of the UI, because of all the animations.

Since it's a company phone you can probably choose for "the best phone out there". In my honest opinion I would go with neither the S6 or 6S because company phone == usability and battery life. You don't need to take the best pictures or use the coolest features, you need to be able to survive a day with sometimes heavy work due to calls, mails, calendars and notes. Neither S6 or 6S is optimal for that. If it's Samsung or Apple I would look at the Galaxy Note 5 or 6S Plus.

Try looking at gsmarenas battery life test results to see if there are any at the top that are in your liking.

[Galaxy S6 General] madnav:
I would suggest S6 over 6S for the following reasons:

1. Better Camera

2. Better Screen

I have tried 6S and I did not like anything about it except for its form factor which made it easier to operate with single hand (my hands are not large enough to handle S6 with single hand all the time). However, the pros of going with S6 outweigh the convenience 6S offered.

This advice is without any consideration for android or iOS since this is a device comparison and not OS.

Although, do let us know which device you choose at the end and your reason for choosing one above the other.

or wait for galaxy S7 if you want extrnal SD card, waterproof, bigger battery. etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] s3ns3lol:
Just 100$ more than the s6 for the 64gb version is a steal.

Anyway you should have gone with the iphone 6s.force touch is so cool and it really changes the way you use the device.and that damn thing is fast.even the normal 6 is faster at some things,like web browsing.it will take several generations until android phones will catch up the 6s at web browsing

The s6 ui is preety fast but web browsing is preety slow.and in the google play store it scrolls in frames.beyond laggy.and the ram management is bad.not so good software optimisations. i'm sitting here like a kid waiting the damn android 6 update.so its very slow at updates.

On the apple side no problems with ios updates.4s from 2011 got ios 9.

I really wanted the 6s but it was 250euros more than the s6.but next time i wont make the same mistake
[Galaxy S6 General] EQ2000:
IOS also have a fixed home launcher you cant change and it is minimalistic in a IMO bad way. They have lots of 'cut corners' to give fluid interface but at the same time offers worse user interactivity and customisation. Also IOS doesn't offer proper multi-tasking and as of IOS 9 does a semi offering of it and it takes a toll on the perfomance especially on older than 6s/6s Plus Iphones. Once you start installing 3rd party apps the perfomance will take a toll as it will be a wild forest situation with unpredictable perfomance and tasks to execute and might be harder for IOS to freeze these apps like they have done with previous IOS and still do (think like Greenify but even when you are using the phone).

Iphone 6s also lacks OIS for camera and has about 720p resolution vs the Plus version which has 1080p and OIS. The Galaxy S6 jsut beats it in pretty much all regards and you can get rid of the samsung Touchwiz home launcher for a good fast customisable one like Apex which also sports lots of graphical effects. Camera, real-world usage perfomance (with 3rd party apps installed that runs in background), screen and more is just better on the S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Not many of those who bought the S6 when it was first released are still around!

There's a reason for that...
[Galaxy S6 General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Most of the tech enthusiast jump phones almost every month, so your point holds no weight unless you got stats to back up that claim. Had mine since April and still going strong.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
So what's better than the S6? Nothing yet and people still jumped because they were not entirely happy with it!

It would have been the perfect phone if the battery life was better and the updates were a little more regular especially for the carrier versions. I still have mine but I have to give it to Apple for being able to squeeze every ounce of battery even though the capacity of the battery isn't big. I go to bed with 60-70% every day with over 4 more use than than my S6. And I don't have to turn stuff off to conserve battery either!

I would personally wait for the next Nexus before recommending the current S6. They are taking forever with MM. I can only imagine how long it will take for the next major release if at all Samsung commits to it!
[Galaxy S6 General] defybest:

[Galaxy S6 General] rp3:
Which carrier are you on? It seems like you are choosing on the basis of the current promo rates. My advise, buy a $100 phone on swappa (maybe a LG G2). Switch your sim or whatever needs to be done with the carrier. With the new phone announcements, spend the same money for a S7 in March, using Titanium Backup to keep certain apps/settings/texts.

If not S7, then in March, get a S6 with a more agressive promo price. If not android, apple's 5se may start to move the 6s prices down ahead of their major redesigned iphone 7 this fall.

Sell the LG G2 in March/April for $90.
