The iPhone 6S Plus is Apple's biggest and most powerful iPhone ever, but how does it compare to all the new flagship Android phablets out there?
Since the iPhone 6S Plus is an "S" model, the industrial design is identical to the iPhone 6 Plus. The aluminum is stronger and less bendable, all the internals have improved and the two cameras are huge leaps over previous models.
You can take a look at the comparison chart below between the iPhone 6S Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5/S6 Edge+, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, Moto X Style/Pure Edition and LG G4 and make a judgment on which one is the best for you.
The most notable weaknesses on the iPhone 6S Plus compared to the competition is the screen resolution and pixel density; it's got a "measly" full HD display while every other phone has at least a QuadHD screen. Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium has the highest resolution screen of them all: a 4K display, but ultimately, it's all hype.
Of course, specs don't mean everything. The iPhone 6S Plus runs iOS 9, works with Apple Pay and can connect with the Apple Watch.
