There’s been a never-ending discussion on the Web about the Galaxy S6 and what it brings to the table, with most analysts and media members pointing out how fluid and smooth Samsung’s new overhauled TouchWiz UI is on the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge. While one journalist in particular said that his Galaxy S6 edge unit performed “faster” with Android Lollipop than his own Nexus 5, few have spoken about the speed of Samsung’s latest devices when paired with Samsung’s long-time smartphone rival, Apple.
A new speed test places both phones side-by-side in an attempt to see which device performs the fastest in terms of its speed. It may sound unbelievable, but the Galaxy S6 edge did outpace the iPhone 6, with the Galaxy S6 taking up 2 minutes, 9.55 seconds to open apps and the iPhone 6 taking 2 minutes, 17.45 seconds to open apps.
Some at the link below have responded by saying that the GS6 edge wins the contest because the iPhone 6 “doesn’t do real multitasking,” or that Android’s task manager setup helps Samsung’s device outrun Apple’s, but tests of this kind have been done for years with the iPhone winning the battle. Now, the tables have turned. While there’s more to a smartphone (and thus, the Galaxy S6 edge) than its speed, speed-hungry tech enthusiasts will find Samsung’s new speed to be yet another reason to buy the company’s latest.
