Samsung Galaxy S6 VS. Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus Features, Specs, Price, Hardware: A Comprehensive Comparison and Review

Largest smartphone manufacturer Samsung has provided the ultimate solution from low budget to high-end smartphones. After the controversial Galaxy Alpha series, Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Note Edge but the surprise list may expand as the company is going through the remake of S series smartphone with Galaxy S5 Plus and Galaxy S6.

Galaxy S5 Plus is expected to be framed with 5.1-inch display size that will allow 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution where Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen will demonstrate the display. The pixel density is up lifted to 432 pixels per inch. Samsung might push to 5.2-inch display size with the Galaxy S6 gadget but it is rumored to be blessed with 4K display screen. But in a short interval, this revolutionary innovation will be very challenging for Samsung engineers to cope up with the new display if this rumor comes true. However, there is great potential that the device will contain 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution with an ultra HD display,

Samsung latest Galaxy Note 4 represented a 16MP rear camera sensor and this trend extends with Galaxy S5 Plus too. Galaxy S5 Plus carries 16MP rear camera sensor while front camera sensor is a bit frustrating for the selfie freaks. The front camera contains 2MP sensor with HD video recording facility.

On the other hand, not much has been revealed about the Galaxy S6 smartphone but it will carry better camera than its predecessor S5. The Galaxy S5 has 16MP rear camera but the successor is expected to come with 20MP rear camera sensor. However, camera features will also get update as S5 was accused of poor image quality in low light. The low light performance and better optical image stabilization will be included in the S6 smartphone.

The Galaxy S5 Plus is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with Quad-Core 2.5GHz processor and Adreno 430 GPU set. The hardware segment of Galaxy S6 is not confirmed but most probably, it will substitute the current S5 hardware components with updated versions.

S5 Plus will operate on Android 4.4.2KitKat while Galaxy S6 will run on unreleased Android 5.0 (Lollypop). The price tag will be pushed from $900(Galaxy S5) to $1000 for the updates in Galaxy S6 and this device is expected to release in the Mobile World Congress (MWC) that will take place in May 2-5 2015.
