Xperia Z5 Premium vs. Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge

I have decided to get a new phone and use my current phone (iPhone) for work only, so I'm going to get a new phone which is Xperia Z5 Premium but many people have told me to get either Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge or iPhone 6 Plus saying they are more recommended but I'm not going to get iPhone since I have one already.
Lets not forget that Samsung Galaxy and iPhones are a lot more used around the world.

Which is beter in your opinion and why, Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge or Xperia Z5 Premium?

You can also provide youtube videos for both smartphones*

Both are good but I personally prefer Samsung Galaxy.

after working at t-mobile i can say the xperia would be the best choice out of all 3.

Xperia, Why?

Xperia Z5 Premium has a 3840 x 2160 resolution
Galaxy S6 edge has a 2560 x 1440 resolution

Camera;
Xperia Z5 Premium has a new 23-megapixel sensor for the rear camera, along with a 5-megaixel snapper on the front.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ has a 16-megapixel rear snapper and a 5-megapixel front snapper.

Hardware;
Xperia Z5 Premium has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor supported by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There is also microSD support for further storage expansion up to 200GB.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has an Exynos processor under its hood, which has eight cores like the SD810. There is 4GB of RAM supporting the S6 edge and the choice of 32GB or 64GB internal memory, but no microSD support.

Software;
Xperia Z5 Premium and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge run on Android Lollipop.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ is thinner, lighter and offers a larger display. It feels like the more powerful handset, offering a slicker user experience and great camera results, with a more innovative design. The Xperia Z5 Premium has a better display, microSD support and better battery life. It is waterproof, but doesn't offer such a luscious design.

So if you are going for performance go for Xperia Z5 Premium, Design then s6 edge is your choice

Have already seen all of these informations on youtube and I still think Xperia Z5 Premium better than Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

lets be honest, all phones are basically the same. at this point its just brand loyalty
if you dont care either way, get the one that looks better

Z5:
4k screen but its a gimmick, barely any apps are 4k except for some sony official ones
5.5 inch screen
looks nice
pretty big bezels (top and bottom) that are ugly af
SD Card
snapdragon 810, many ppl reported overheating
3500 mah battery, but has to power a 4k screen

galaxy:
its samsung, **** them
bloatware (?)
looks like shit for a flagship phone
edge is a gimmick, no added functionality imho
same size as xperia but larger screen with 5.7 inch
1440p, still a gimmick but not as much as 4k
no sd card cause they a bunch of ****tadrs
'only' 3000 mah battery, but powers 1440p and not 4k

tl;dr get the lg v10

iphone 6s, those other two are bad because of android

Xperia Z5 Premium better.

Best for now, LG V10.

Between those two, Z5P

Idial choice, wait for 2016's devices, they should support LDDR4.

So shit that the G Flex, G3 and G4 have been voted phone of the year.

well i had many samsungs and now i got z5
i can say that z5 is better for me. Charged up the battery to 100% and after 2days its 35% (i was using it a lot)
and samsung after 12hours (of not using it at all) had about 60% left ;[
maybe camera is a bit worse than samsung but i would choose z5

It just depends on your needs. I would personally go for samsung since im already familiar with their system. the S6 touchwiz interface is pretty, easy to use and has some useful functionality, has a great screen and one of the best cameras too. i just hate that there is no expandable storage.

The sony... all i know is that the interface needs a little getting used to and the 4k feature only turns on if youre watching something in 4k otherwise everything else in the phone will stick to 1080p (i think) expandable storage is neat tho and also the waterproof thing for using it in the shower *wink* also since its a snapdragon processor it will be easier to get custom roms in the longrun

z5p camera is better, thats how i feel

As a former z3+ user, i strongly advise you not to buy z5.
Z5 takes Snapdragon 810 chip which is well-knows as Heat issue. Because of that issue, LG V10 and G4 took SD808 which is lower class than 810 but stable, optimized power consumption and has no heat issue like 810.

Xperia Z5 Premium has a 3840 x 2160 resolution
Galaxy S6 edge has a 2560 x 1440 resolution

: the difference between 2k and 4k is not distinguishable clearly in 5 inch display unless you have microscope-like eyes. And Z5's 4k is fake. it only works when you watch video and photos that is captured/recorded in 4k. in normal use, it works as FHD resolution (1920*1080)

Camera;
Xperia Z5 Premium has a new 23-megapixel sensor for the rear camera, along with a 5-megaixel snapper on the front.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ has a 16-megapixel rear snapper and a 5-megapixel front snapper.

: Megapixel doesn't mean the quality of photo/video. those determines quality of photo and video is image sensor. And i go for S6. you can search comparison on youtube.

Hardware;
Xperia Z5 Premium has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor supported by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There is also microSD support for further storage expansion up to 200GB.

: as i said above, SD810 is well known as overheating. when i recorded 4k video with my z3+. it shut down because of overheating.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has an Exynos processor under its hood, which has eight cores like the SD810. There is 4GB of RAM supporting the S6 edge and the choice of 32GB or 64GB internal memory, but no microSD support.

: According to Antutu Benchmarks and Geek bench, Exynos 7420 does better job than SD810.

Your choice. :D
