Today we face the smartphone of the moment, the Galaxy S6, to the device that was probably gaining the most prominence before its arrival: the Nexus 6. Between these two luxury smartphones there is an obvious difference in size that is probably the most decisive factor for most users, but it is far from the only one. Which of the two options might interest you the most? We hope that our comparative de Technical specifications can help you decide.
Integrated
Even regardless of size, the aesthetic differences between the two devices are quite evident, from the absence of a physical home button on the Nexus 6 to its irregular thickness but, without a doubt, the one that most draws the difference is that of materials, now that the Galaxy S6 It has adopted the glass for its back cover, even though in both cases we find a metallic profile.
Dimensions
As we have already mentioned, the size difference is really big (14,34x7,05 inch against 15,92x8,3 inch), although it could not be otherwise, given that the Nexus 6 has a screen almost 1 inch larger. The phablet of Google is, logically, quite a lot heavier too (138 grams against 184 grams) and much thicker (6,8 mm against 10,1 mm).
Screen
In both cases we find an AMOLED screen (Super AMOLED in the Galaxy S6) with Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440), so, once again, what distinguishes them is nothing more than their size (5.1 inches against 6 inches), which also influences their respective pixel densities (PPI 577 against PPI 493).
Performance
Although the Nexus 6 probably still has the advantage when it comes to software, when it comes to hardware the Galaxy S6 it gets put ahead thanks to its processor Exynos 7420 state-of-the-art with eight cores a 2,1 GHzTogether with 3 GB RAM memory. Not that there is an abysmal difference, in any case, with respect to the phablet of Google, who rides a Snapdragon 805 de quad core a 2,7 GHz and also enjoy 3 GB of RAM.
Storage capacity
In neither of the two cases do we have the possibility of inserting a micro-SD card to expand its memory, with which we completely depend on the internal memory of the device, and the Galaxy S6 sold with between 32 and 128 GB of storage capacity, while the maximum for the Nexus 6 is 64 GB.
Cameras
Although in the Nexus 6 we find a not inconsiderable main chamber of 13 MP, victory is again for him Galaxy S6, with yours from 16 MP. In both cases, yes, we have an optical image stabilizer. The front camera is also superior on the smartphone from Samsung (5 MP against 2 MP).
Battery
Although we will have to wait for the independent tests of autonomy and the truth is that the Nexus 6 it did not shine too much on them, as far as battery capacity is concerned the scale clearly leans on its side, as is normal considering that it is a much larger device (its screen should consume more as well): 3220 mAh against 2550 mAh.
Price
Typically, 5.5-6-inch phablets are significantly more expensive than 5.5-inch smartphones, but the fact that the Nexus 6 It has been on sale for a few months now, it works in its favor and in some distributors we can find it already for around the $550, Whereas the Galaxy S6 It will go on sale from 700 euros (in both cases it is the price of the most affordable model, with 32 GB of storage capacity).
