The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a dominant Android smartphone that released earlier in the year. It’s about to face some further competition in the form of the recently announced Microsoft Lumia 950 that will release in November running Windows 10 mobile. Now we’re taking a look at the Lumia 950 vs Galaxy S6 in a best bits focus.
There will be many buyers who will be able to choose between these two high-end smartphones because they strongly favor one operating platform over the other. For others the decision may not be as easy and that’s where a brief video comparison may come in useful. This is not a full comparison of the Lumia 950 vs Galaxy S6 as the Lumia handset has not released yet, but it does highlight some of the differences in specs, features, and designs.
Before we get to the video we’ll recap some of the key specs of each. The Microsoft Lumia 950 has a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, Adreno 418 graphics, and a 5.2-inch display with Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440.

Beneath this post we’ve embedded a video of the Lumia 950 vs Galaxy S6 that neatly sums up some of the main advantages of each against the other. It starts by showing the benefits of the Lumia phone when pitted against the S6, and just some of these are an iris scanner, microSD support, and Type C port. The video then moves on to the stronger points of the Galaxy S6 over the Lumia 950, with a few examples being DDR4 RAM, the fact that it’s 21% thinner, and has a heart rate sensor.
Many more points are included on the video and you can see them in full when you watch it.
