With so many flagships introduced this year it’s hard to opt
for the best if you’re confused what do you want. The flagship’s this year not
only become more affordable but eventually they are offering more features. One
of my favorite flagships ff this year in the high-end segment was the Samsung
Galaxy S6, which was introduced earlier this year. While regarding the
affordable flagship devices, the Honor 7 is
the best contender. What do you say; shall we do a comparison between a premium
and affordable flagship devices? Read on then.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Display:
The displays are the part where no company, even Apple can’t
beat the Samsung. And if you don’t know for a fact, Samsung provides the screen
for iPhones. The Super AMOLED displays are the best mobile screens you could
ask for on a smartphone and Samsung pioneers that technology. Moreover, the
Galaxy S6 packs a Quad HD display, which is hard to argue with unless the other
end has a 4K display.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Design:
Both the devices have metallic bodies, but Galaxy S6 is
completely covered with tempered Corning Gorilla Glass 4 sheets while the Honor
7 sports nothing over the metal body offering quality finish. There is no
physical button on the Honor device unlike Samsung offers on their Galaxy S6.
The Honor 7 has the fingerprint button on the back while the Galaxy S6 had it
on the home button.
It is the classic case of same functionality being offered
in different places. Many consumers prefer the biometric sensor on the rear
while some on the front. I would like to have it on front; I don’t always like
picking up the phone from Desk to just check my messages. The solidly glassed
body isn’t the best fingerprint resilient, and thus it leaves a lot of smudges
on the device, whereas that’s not the case with Honor 7.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Camera:
The flagships are supposed to have the best camera among
their products line-up, and it is true for both the handsets. Honor 7 offers
one of the best cameras an Honor device have ever sported while we could also
say the same for Galaxy S6, but then again for the past two years Samsung has
been using almost similar sensors but, of course, optimizing many aspects as
well.
The Honor 7 offers 20-megapixel camera resolution while
Galaxy S6 has a 16-megapixel sensor, both the sensors uses PDAF (Phase
Detection Autofocus) Technology. But do note that these devices have different
aperture numbers; Samsung device has f/1.9 aperture number while Honor device
has f/2.0 aperture number. The largest F number on a smartphone camera is of LG G4.
The cameras on both the devices are a beast, now only if you
could have the camera samples of both of these devices to understand the
difference. Well, you can check out our Camera
review of the Honor 7 and Samsung Galaxy S6 to know more about the cameras on
these handsets.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Hardware & Performance:
One can’t possibly expect an affordable flagship’s chipset
to beat the world’s fastest processor even if it got a good horsepower. The
Galaxy S6 is powered by a 14nm Exynos 7420 chipset, which is an Octa-core
processor from the South Korean giant, developed specially for their handset.
The Honor 7, on the other hand, is also powered by an in-house processor, the
Hisilicon Kirin 935 chipset, which is also an Octa-core processor.
Coupled with similar 3GB of RAM, both the devices has some
of the impressive performance, their Android skin is optimized accordingly, and
you’ll only know that when you use these devices as daily drivers. Because even
there is quite the difference in terms of performance numbers between these two
phones, you would like using both of them.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Software:
These two devices have their own Android Custom OS; the
trend is not new, mobile manufacturers have been forking the Android system
since its first introduction. The Samsung Galaxy S6 run on Android Lollipop 5.0
out of the box, but latest Lollipop version is available for download whereas
the Honor 7 devices comes with Android Lollipop 5.0.2, which is not the latest
version of the Lollipop OS.
There might be tons of difference between Samsung’s TouchWiz
UI and Honor’s EMUI (Emotion UI), but it finally comes to one thing, whether or
not the interface is snappy enough to perform day-to-day operations. Samsung
has managed to come over their reputation of a laggy TouchWiz while Honor is
yet to improve their EMUI regarding the multitasking, because even if the
performance of the device is good, there are certain aspects of their Emotion
Interface that lacks. I have mentioned my concern about this in the detailed
review of the device.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Battery:
You can compare every aspect of the smartphones and tally
what is best or not, but the most important aspect that we all lookout on a
phone is the battery life. On Galaxy S6, Samsung gave only 2550mAh battery
while Honor 7 has a massive 3100mAh battery. Both devices being the same size,
we would have appreciated if Samsung has given more capacity. With Quad HD display
and small battery, Galaxy S6 was bound to get a lower screen-on-time (SOT) of
around 4 hours while the Honor 7 here is the clear winner with more than 5
hours of SOT.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Vs Huawei Honor 7 Verdict:
The war between premium and affordable flagship is not new;
previously it was Nexus devices against Tier-1 Brands (Samsung, LG, and HTC) while
the tables have been changed. The contenders like Honor 7 amongst many have
taken over that place. The final call is yours, whether you want a premium
priced device or an affordable device with almost similar (or better in some
aspects) features at almost half the price.
