Samsung recently launched its rivals to Apple iPhone 6 ? Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.
With these new flagship Galaxy smartphones, the company takes a totally different approach. Rather than cramming tons of new features into the phones, the company improved on a few core elements like design, build quality, the fingerprint sensor, and more.
In fact, Samsung may not have added as many new features to its latest Galaxy phones as it has with previous devices, but there are a few things Galaxy S6 and S6 edge can do that the iPhone can't.

 |
With the Galaxy S6 edge, you can assign a specific colour to any contact. Your phone will light up as that colour when the contact calls. No such feature exists on the iPhone.
 |
You can launch the camera on the Galaxy S6 or S6 edge by double-tapping the home button. On the iPhone, you need to either launch the camera app or press the camera icon on the lock screen.
 |
The camera on the Galaxy S6 also tracks a subject as it moves so it doesn't lose focus. The iPhone doesn't do this, although Apple has added some new features to iOS 8 that make it easier to edit photos quickly.
 |
Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge can be charged super quickly; Samsung says 10 minutes of charging will get you four hours of usage. The iPhone doesn't have fast-charging technology built in.
 |
With the Galaxy S6 edge, you can see the time even when the rest of the screen is turned off. There's no way to do this on the iPhones.
 |
Most high-end Samsung Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, let you run more than one app at once on the home screen. The iPhone only lets you open one app on the screen at a time.
 |
You can also charge Samsung's new phone wirelessly with a charging pad instead of plugging them in. Apple's iPhones need to be plugged in to charge.
 |
Both new Samsung phones come with a Smart Manager app that lets you clean up your phone with the press of a button. Some third-party apps, like Checker, claim to do this for the iPhone but it's unclear how well they actually work.
 |
The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge can measure your heart rate too. Apple has added some health-related features to the iPhone over the past few years, like the step counter in the iPhone 5s. None of Apple's iPhones have a heart rate monitor, however.
 |
You can use the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge to make payments at stores without NFC-enabled terminals using Samsung Pay. Apple Pay, which is compatible with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, only works at NFC-enabled terminals and not the standard credit/debit card readers.
