THE BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY

MOTO X STYLE, LG G4, HTC ONE M9, SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 and the XPERIA Z3+

As the title suggests I am going to compare the best Android phones of 2015. If you want me to compare some other phones please let me know in the comments section. I'll start by showing you guys a short comparison table which I made and then rank them the phones in each category.

DISPLAY:

MOTO X STYLE, LG G4 and the S6 all have similar screen clarity. However, the display on the S6 has an edge over the other two due to its comparatively smaller display resulting in a better ppi. The bravia display of SONY makes it better than the M9, which is why it is placed higher in the rankings.

RANKING: S6 FIRST

                     MOTO X STYLE, LG G4  (TIE) SECOND

                     XPERIA Z3+ THIRD

                     M9 FOURTH

PROCESSOR:

MOTOROLA and LG made a smarter and better decision by going for the 808 instead of the 810. The 810 has a lot of heating issues and there is still no permanent solution for this problem. This is the reason why the Z3+ and M9 have a lot of heating issues. The EXYNOS on the other hand doesn't really stand out, it might have good benchmarks but when the device is used in day-to-day life, lags can be observed. 

RANKING: MOTO X STYLE, LG G4 (TIE) FIRST

                     XPERIA Z3+, M9 (TIE) SECOND

                     S6 THIRD

RAM:

Each device sports the same RAM so there's nothing much to describe here. Some might argue that all the phones except MOTO has a custom UI which eats more RAM. But 3 GB RAM is enough and doesn't really make a difference.

RANKING: ALL TIED

MEMORY:

All phones except the S6 have an expandable memory so the ranking is pretty clear here.

RANKING: MOTO X STYLE, LG G4, M9, XPERIA Z3+ (TIE) FIRST

                     

                      S6 SECOND

CAMERA:

Megapixels don't really speak the truth about camera quality. It requires an all rounded camera altogether. The sensors and the photo corrector tools all need to work together to provide a decent picture. So the ranking doesn't really depend on Megapixels. The  MOTO X STYLE has an additional feature which is a flash for the selfie camera.

RANKING: MOTO X STYLE, S6, LG G4, XPERIA Z3+ (TIE) FIRST

                     

                     M9 SECOND

 

BATTERY:

We all know that as the screen size increases its battery consumption also increases. Especially the high resolution screens. So surely there will not be much of a difference unless the phones have a bug.

RANKING: ALL TIED

CONCLUSION:

The MOTO X STYLE, LG G4 and the S6 are really close so I think the value-for-money factor might seal the deal here. There is no real competition for the MOTO X STYLE here because of it being a bang for the buck. You actually get much more than what you pay for. It is an absolute steal especially with lightning fast software upgrades and vanilla android. It is a flagship phone which is 10k - 17k cheaper.
