Latest speculations claim that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with specs and features that are better than the iPhone 6.

Samsung's upcoming handset is rumored to battle head on with Apple's new iPhone 6 smartphones. The S6 will be released early next year, most likely in February, and will hit store shelves the following month. Below are the top five reasons why Samsung Galaxy S6 will be better than the new iPhone 6.

Sturdier profile

iPhone 6 has become controversial because of the #Bendgate issue, meaning the new Apple smartphones can be bent. Some users flooded the social media with photos and complaints about the new iPhone 6 being easily bent. The smartphones are thinner than its predecessors, which can be a factor in making the handsets bendable. Moreover, the casing is made out of anodized aluminum frame, which is a soft metal that is malleable. Samsung Galaxy S6 is rumored to pack a sturdier and more durable metal casing.

Latest Android L OS

Samsung Galaxy S6 is rumored to run with the upcoming Android L OS, and people know that Android tends to have less problems. iOS 8, on the other hand, is off to a rough start as the latest Apple operating system is plagued with bugs and issues after its launch alongside iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

More powerful chipset

Samsung can also promise a better and more powerful processor. The new phablet is expected to have a Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805. iPhone 6 runs with the new A8 processor partnered with M8 graphics co-processor.

Better Camera

The rumored smartphone is speculated to come with a 20-megapixel camera. The current Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge pack 16 MP snappers at the back. Moreover, the S6's shooter will be backed up by OIS. On the other hand, iPhone 6 smartphones retain the 8-megapixel camera.

Cheaper price

Samsung Galaxy S6 is believed to be available at a cheaper price than the iPhone 6 Plus.
