design
Samsung Galaxy S6
2015 marks a break at Samsung design level. The South Korean firm has set aside its plastic shell to pass a metal mixture – tempered glass with rounded edges are reminiscent of the iPhone 6 Apple but also Sony Xperia Z3. It must be said that the firm had not much choice. The design of the Galaxy S5 with its faux perforated leather shell was a real dud. It was simply unworthy of his rank while the competition was gaining Android (Sony, HTC). Even the metal imitation plastic shell LG G3 was more convincing!
Sony Xperia Z3
To the naked there is little difference between the eye Z2 and Z3. And this is where the whole problem. Six months after the previous generation, Sony serves us an almost identical smartphone Exterior. Suffice to say that fans of the brand have expressed anger and shunned this smartphone. It is certainly a fine hair, lighter but the big difference is the arrival of plastic rounded corners to give it a less abrupt look than its predecessor and especially more strength. Be careful though because the smartphone’s glass surfaces are slightly raised so that it is quick to slide if you place it on a flat surface.
Verdict
The point of this round goes to Galaxy S6. The aesthetic revival is a real success and the smartphone is thinner and lighter than their opponents, while the difference in screen size is anecdotal (5.1 inches against 5.2 inches). The Sony smartphone also pays the lack of evolution of design although it is at the height of a premium device. . 1 – 0
screen
Samsung Galaxy S6
The South Korean firm sent Heavy with his screen. We are on a Super AMOLED 5.1 inch slab with a qHD resolution 2,560 x 1,440 pixels (a density of 577 pixels per inch). The result is stunning and absolutely gorgeous even though we can always the question of what benefit the user can draw on such a small surface.
Sony Xperia Z3
Sony declined to not unlike to the QHD several of his comrades. In particular LG and Samsung. At the time of the presentation of the phone, the Sony officials we met explained that they did not saw what benefit could be drawn … without the user totally close the door on the qHD which finally appeared to late spring 2015 as the US version of the Z4 is equipped with such a display. But back to the Z3. It features a 5.2-inch IPS screen with Triluminos house technology with Full HD resolution. A screen that nears perfection with color display just awesome.
Verdict
It is tempting to give a point just to the quality GS6 its qHD display. Except that the interest of such a resolution on a small area remains to prove on us. Opposite, Sony is demonstrating its expertise to the screen for which we have no complaints and worth it to win this. 1-1

Power.?
Samsung Galaxy S6
The benchmarks but also use in our tests confirm that the S6 is a powerhouse capable of running the most powerful games. It must be said that the manufacturer is given the means with a 64-bit processor house Exynos 7420 eight cores and 3 GB of RAM. Only downside but turns out to be a classic on smartphones: overheating of the hull in heavy use. It does not extend to interfere with the use.
Sony Xperia Z3
The specifications of Xperia Z3 lives up to expectations 801 with a Snapdragon processor and 3GB of memory. A standard of the end of 2014. The smartphone is capable of running any game greedy power. And that during the next two years probably.
Verdict
The point of this race dedicated to the power goes logically to Samsung Galaxy S6. The smartphone is more powerful because newer. But we wanted to evaluate the difference in speed between the two devices with a speed-test home on a half dozen applications reflecting a standard use (of music streaming with Qobuz, streaming video with Netflix and Canalplay, the geolocation with Google Maps, games with Modern Combat 5 and Boombeach, etc.). The S6 is in front but the gap between the two is quite small and the Xperia Z3 even before going on a game like greedy 5. Modern Combat 2 -. 1

Memory
Samsung Galaxy S6
Changing your also among the South Korean with the disappearance of the micro-SD port and the emergence of a Memory closed as proposed by the iPhone. The positive point is that the basic version starts at 32GB to climb up to 128GB. Except this latest version is hard to find in France.
Sony Xperia Z3
The Z3 offers only 16 GB of storage initially. But this capacity is expandable up to 128 GB with a micro SD card. Proof that you can use premium materials (glass and metal) by inserting a slot for an SD card without it spoils the design of the device.
Verdict
We give the point here at Xperia Z3. The reason? It has a micro SD card slot which can extend memory for a very reasonable cost. The downside is that the available capacity to purchase is only 16GB. The SD card is essential. The S6 offers twice the storage. Except that it is not extensible. We must therefore consider the capacity from the purchase and instead opt for the 64GB version if you can. 2 -. 2
OS
Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung did in sobriety for its Android Android overlay TouchWizz 5 Lollipop. Once is not custom. The failure of the company until now was wanting to do too much in terms of design and features. At the point of losing the way in public with good ideas lost in the maze of TouchWizz. So much better in 2015. In particular because the firm houses applications can be uninstalled. This leaves more freedom to the user for smooth, customizable interface.
Sony Xperia Z3
Originally, the Z3 is equipped Android 4.4 KitKat. The interface is simple and effective. Consistent with the Japanese manufacturer and a good point for the user who does not lose it. We find thoughtful house applications like Walkman for music or the PlayStation software including the Remote Play allows you to stream a game from the console on the phone. A great idea that will meet this summer on Xbox One through Windows 10. You may have noticed that the Z3 happened in recent weeks with the new version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 5 Lollipop. The logic is the same as KitKat in touch with design rather well thought.
Verdict
Can not decide between S6 and rival of the day on OS part. On the Samsung side has made a great effort to purify the design and functions. On the other Sony continues in its sense to have a discreet and full overlay. Especially with its ecosystem. A dot ball across the center so. . 3-3

Photos
Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung – Sony as elsewhere – is recognized as a specialist in the photo on mobile. No missed with the S6. This is a real success which positions it in the top three of the best camera phones we have tested in 2014 – 2015 (with the LG and the iPhone G4 6 Plus). The smartphone is equipped with a 16 megapixel sensor with optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) and a large aperture of f / 1.9 that allows it to capture a lot of light even in low light conditions.
Sony Xperia Z3
The Xperia is also largely up to expectations with its Exmor RS sensor 20.7 megapixels, its f / 2.0 a sensitivity to light that climbs to 12800. Its only flaw on the paper: the absence of optical stabilization. The picture quality is worthy of a high-end device and expectations.
Verdict
We give here the point Samsung Galaxy S6. The difference is to very little between the two phones. It is mainly on the sharpness of the pictures it is played. As long as day and full light it is virtually impossible to separate them. In contrast, when the light begins to be rare (outdoors or indoors at night) S6 is doing better. Do not forget to specify that the date of a month from September to October (Z3) while the other is more recent and therefore embeds the latest technology available. We expect the Z3 + test to see if the balance is restored. . 4-3

Battery
Samsung Galaxy S6
Our measures of autonomy achieved with the Samsung Galaxy S6 are quite simply exceptional. The battery can reach two days use ‘normal’ and bypassing the power saving mode. All this for a battery of 2550 mAh. Good point also for wireless charging becomes native. ie you need not shell have to charge the phone. But the charging time is too long. Rather prefer the cable and fast mode which can charge the phone very quickly and give it a good day for autonomy in a few tens of minutes.
Sony Xperia Z3
The autonomy of Xperia Z3 is provided by a large battery of 3,100 mAh and Stamina mode which allows to hold three days without having to recharge box. All for standard use: a few web, video on YouTube, the game calls, SMS, etc. Very good point for the successor of Z2 which is the expectations.
Verdict
Again difficult to separate the two phones. We give all the same point in S6 because it has a smaller battery on paper and therefore has a higher performance optimization on the Z3. Note that in both cases you will not be disappointed by the autonomy. 5 -. 3
Price
Samsung Galaxy S6
Only one version is available in France for the Samsung Galaxy S6. The 32GB Its price is 709 euros without subscription. Either the same price as the 16GB iPhone 6 Apple. However, a first rate decrease will occur probably in late summer once the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be announced.
Sony Xperia Z3
Nine months after leaving public, the Z3 has seen its price decline. The smartphone is officially available around 550 euros without subscription. More than 150 euros of difference with the Galaxy S6. Delving a bit on the Web, you can even find around 400 euros.
Verdict
Sony wins this battle of the price. Especially because his phone is far less recent than the S6 from Samsung and the Sony Xperia Z3 + has just made its appearance on the market. Two data that have depressed its price while the life of the device is two or three years. 5 -. 4
Conclusion
Samsung wins this duel logically. It is difficult to separate the two phones on many points. Including the photo where it is played not much. In both cases, these two smartphones respect their premium positioning with a small advantage for the Z3 which sees its price fall over the weeks. It may therefore prove to be a bargain especially as his successor, Z3 +, slowly arrived in France and that the rumor of a Z4 for September unabated.
