Moto X Style vs Galaxy S6 - Hands-on

**A Hands-On Comparison between the Moto X Style and the Samsung Galaxy S6**

The first impressions of both devices are great, with excellent screens being one of their standout features. The Moto X style has a metal band with a customizable back, which provides more grip and allows for 18 different inlays and seven different accents to be chosen via the Moto Maker. This feature gives the device a unique look and feel that is similar to the Nexus 6 and the Moto X 2014. However, the device itself is quite large, falling into the "fablet" category.

In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a metal frame with glass panels on both the front and back, giving it a sleek and premium look. The device feels comfortable in the hand but is slightly slippery due to its smooth design. The Moto X style, on the other hand, has a similar metal band design but with more customizable options, which sets it apart from its predecessor.

**Internal Specifications**

Both devices feature 3GB of RAM, but there are some key differences in their internal specifications. The Samsung Galaxy S6 boasts an Exynos octa-core processor, while the Moto X style is powered by a Snapdragon 808 chip with six cores. While the S6 has been super fast and snappy in the hands-on time we had, the Snapdragon 808 seemed promising, and its performance on other devices like the LG G4 has been great.

In terms of storage options, the Moto X style offers 16, 32, and 64GB versions, while the Samsung Galaxy S6 is available in 32, 64, and 128GB options. However, the Moto X style does offer the option to expand its storage up to 128GB via a microSD card slot.

**Camera Comparison**

The cameras on both devices are one of the areas where they differ significantly. The Samsung Galaxy S6 features a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and an f/1.9 aperture, which has received high praise for its performance. On the other hand, the Moto X style is equipped with a 21-megapixel camera without optical image stabilization and an f/2.0 aperture.

While the S6's camera has been one of the best in the industry this year, according to DXO Mark ratings, the Moto X style's camera will have to be thoroughly tested to see how it compares. However, with its larger sensor size, it could potentially give the S6 a run for its money.

**Battery Life**

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 2550mAh battery, which is smaller than the Moto X style's 3000mAh battery. While both devices will have to be extensively tested to see how they perform in real-world usage, the S6 should still be able to last a full day with moderate use.

However, the Moto X style's larger screen means that it will require more power to stay lit up for an extended period. The good news is that both devices come equipped with fast charging capabilities, which will help them quickly top off their batteries when needed.

**Additional Features**

The Samsung Galaxy S6 offers some additional features that set it apart from the Moto X style. For example, it has a fingerprint scanner, which works seamlessly and is definitely useful for those who want to add an extra layer of security to their device. The Moto X style, on the other hand, does not have this feature.

However, the Moto X style makes up for it with its dual front-facing speakers, which will provide better sound compared to the single bottom-facing speaker on the S6. This is especially important for those who value good audio quality when watching videos or playing games.

**Pricing**

Finally, when it comes to pricing, the Moto X style has a significant edge over the Samsung Galaxy S6. Starting at just $399 or £369 off contract in September, the Moto X style is much more affordable than the S6, which starts at around $700.

While the S6's price may drop further before its official release, it's unlikely to reach this low level anytime soon. In contrast, the Moto X style offers a great value proposition that makes it an attractive option for those looking for a high-end device without breaking the bank.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, both devices have their strengths and weaknesses. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a powerhouse of a device with top-notch performance and camera capabilities. However, its large size and relatively high price make it less accessible to some users.

On the other hand, the Moto X style offers a unique design, customizable options, and fast charging capabilities at a much more affordable price. While its camera may not be as strong as the S6's, it could still give it a run for its money when thoroughly tested.
