Don't embarrass yourself, man. The Galaxy S6 trumps the Xperia Z3 in pretty much every department, save the battery life. QHD AMOLED display vs FHD IPS display; Superior 14nm SoC vs 28nm Soc; UFS 2.0 storage vs normal storage; Outstanding 16 MP snapper vs Under-utilized and mediocre 20.7 MP snapper; Amazing 2160p video shooter vs okay-ish 2160p shooter; Wolfson audio chip vs whatever the crappy one on Snapdragon SoCs; Feature rich Touchwiz vs Meh Timescape.
On the flip side, Xperia Z3 is sleek and elegant looking, while Galaxy S6 isn't as bad as its predecessors; Xperia's UI is minimalistic, whereas Touchwiz is miles ahead of its previous iterations despite being a bit bloated; Water-proof vs splash resistant?;
Garbage pentile AMOLED never impresses me neither does its fake color and some crappy color shifting when you tile the screen. New Exynos SoC isn't exactly all win either just because it is smaller, didn't help its battery and S810 is still strong in the GPU department. Wolfson didn't sounds anything special with my S3 neither. |

Not sure why people are making thread rumour into Sony Vs Samsung however maybe you should read more about the s6 screen or use one before commenting on it. According to actual tests not user opinions it's colour accuracy is extremely good

Anyway please excuse me for the off topic

@Aycaramba
First,return to my comment and you should see i was talking about Z4 which i find superior to S6 in many ways not Z3
But talking about Z3 the outstanding camera you are talking about from samples i have seen is really not much better than my old Z2.Battery life is crap despite using 14nm CPU.also you should know pentile QHD has same number of subpixels as FHD RGB display.you don't need waterproof phone?well your choice.you don't need Sd card and want to pay 200$ for more storage?again it's your money.I would take cheap Z3 or Note 4 over S6 any day.
PS:check phone arena for storage benchmarks.in some scenarios 5.1 EMMC in Z3 beats S6.not saying UFS is not better though.Z3 being half a year older device is still competitive
Sorry for off topic guyz.really.i won't fill the forum with my rants anymore.I promise.  (hopefully)

The GS6 isn't splash resistant. Its not anything resistant. Evidently, Samsung's Engineers can't quite work the same wonders with waterproofing as Sony's engineers can.
In any case, if what you want is an S6. Get one. |

Z3 and Z4 has better screen to body ratio than s6 despite being waterproof.that alone is marvelous
on the side note let's wait for international Z4.At least i'm happy with Z2 until then

A bag of meh, which is Japan exclusive for better rather than for worse.

Are there any insiders in this forum? Why are we so much in the dark? Why are the products at the pipeline are not known to anyone? Ok specs can be kept as secrets but I know Sammy will release a note and Apple will release ip6s or whatever. I think Sony should at least share its plans for future releases like a flagship in Q2 compact and phablet in Q4 or such. It is not very risky. I hope we don't get any international version of Z4. At IFA its go or no go for Sony. Release your new line up with new design, SD820, fingerprint sensor and blah blah blah. No need to release any midrangers cause the old flagships would be sufficient with a new price tag. But the tablet kind of worries me. Why release Z4 tablet if you were gonna change your design after 6 months.
