Apple iPhone 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy S6: Which Smartphone Will Take the Top Spot?
The web has been rife with the iPhone 6 recently since its unveiling Sept. 9 while Samsung has been pretty quiet with its own releases. Only recently did they unveil some details about their next phablet, the Galaxy Note 4 but rumors for their next flagship phone has quieted down. It could be possible that Samsung is cooking up some big things for the aftermath of the iPhone 6 craze.
There haven't been any updated specs rumors for the Galaxy S6 and the last time there have been any headway from the rumor mill was last month. The S6's screen is said to be a little bigger than the S5, going for as large as 5.3 inches, but it may go larger than that.
Samsung is looking to upgrade the S6's screen resolution to 2560 x 1440 QHD matching that of the successful LG G3. The Galaxy Note is already into the QHD resolution so it wouldn't be surprising to see the S6 getting the same.

As for the hardware, both phones are now moving into the 64-bit chip territory, with the iPhone 6 getting its second generation 64-bit A8 chipset with a M8 coprocessor accompanying it. The Galaxy S6 on the other hand is looking to get either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 or 810 processor.
For the RAM, Apple has opted to stick with its 1GB RAM while the S6 might get as high as 4GB RAM.
The iPhone 6 has boasted a thinner chassis profile, even thinner than the iPhone 5S. The Galaxy S6 on the other hand is looking into the flexible display technology, most likely implementing it on the next flagship.
Like the Galaxy Note 4, the S6 would most likely be more expensive than the Galaxy S5, which is already pretty expensive. The iPhone 6 on the other hand is already available for pre-orders and may cost around $650 retail. Major U.S. carriers package the new iPhones with two-year contracts for only $199 for the 4.7-inch variant and $299 for the iPhone Plus.
