Samsung Galaxy S6

Christian Post Report – 2015 is turning out to be a good year for tech manufacturers and techies as new devices have been released to great fanfare at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January and at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week.

Two of the most anticipated devices are LG’s G Flex 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S6. The G Flex 2 made its debut at CES 2015, and many were impressed with its ability to bend and flex just like its predecessor, but the phone features a lot of improvements on the previous model.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S6 launched at the 2015 MWC, and Samsung’s new flagship phone underwent a dramatic—and welcome—change in design and has amazing specs that could firmly place it on top of every best smartphone of the year lists.

Here, we compare the two handsets.

Design:
The LG G Flex 2 is lighter, thinner, and more flexible than its predecessor. Pushing down on the phone will cause it to flatten, but as soon as any weight or pressure is off the device, it springs back into its curved shape right away. The phone has a self-healing coat, making scuffs and scratches a thing of the past. The phone measures 5.9 x 3 x 0.4 inches and weighs 5.4 ounces. The handset comes in Flamingo Red and Platinum Silver.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S6 now has a metal body, very different from the previous plastic builds of past models. The phone is a tad smaller and lighter than the G Flex 2 as it measures 5.6 x 2.8 x 0.27 and weighs 4.9 ounces. It’s also available in more colors such as White Pearl, Gold Platinum, Black Sapphire, and Blue Topaz.

Features:
The G Flex 2 has a bigger display than the Galaxy S6, but the Samsung phone wins when it comes to screen resolution. The G Flex 2 has a 5.5-inch screen with a 1080p resolution and pixel density of 403ppi, while the Galaxy S6 has a 5.1-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and pixel density of 557ppi.

The LG phone comes in two storage options, 16GB and 32GB, which LG claims can be expanded up to 2TB with a microSD card. Samsung has done away with the microSD card slot for the S6, but it comes in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB variants.

The Samsung phone also dominates when it comes to cameras. The S6 has a 16MP rear camera and 5MP front shooter, while the LG phone has a 13MP rear camera and 2.1MP front facing camera.

Price:
Off contract, the LG G Flex 2 costs $699.60, while the Samsung Galaxy S6 will reportedly cost $855 for the 32GB model, $970 for the 64GB variant, and $1,085 for the 128GB model when it goes on sale in April.
