Got an S6, wondering if going back to Sony is worth it?

[berserkkw]

hey guys!
i've had the Galaxy S6 since July, but previously had the Z3c.. Although the S6 takes fantastic pictures, i hate having a physical home button and the capacitive buttons are definitely loath worthy.. i loved the softward buttons on the Z3c (and had the Nexus 5 before that, so was very used to it).

Also the S6, no matter how good the processor is and how much RAM it has, always feels laggy and slow.. the Z3c feels way smoother and faster than my S6.

Would really love to make the switch back to Sony, but the camera really makes a difference to me, comparing the Z3c to S6 may not be fair, but currently that's all i can do.

Can anybody attest that the Z5c is comparable to the S6 (or Note 5) in terms of camera performance?

Also really miss having a phone i'm not worried about draining the battery before the end of the day..

Thanks in advance to any input!

Welcome to Android Central! This link has a decent comparison.

I have the Z5C and my son has the Galaxy S6.

I think the S6 takes slightly better photos in most situations. Sony updated the camera software recently and it improved the camera performance significantly..

I have no lag at all on my Z5C.. I'll post up some battery screenshots tomorrow after its drained. I usually charge mine every 2 days (I'm a lite user) but am pushing it to see how long I can go on it. Today is day 3 and I am at 44% left......

This is as honest as you are going to get...I shot a backcountry road trip over the course of 3 months with a Samsung S6 Active and a RX100M3. I now have a Z5C. If photography results are that important to you, right now the Samsung S6 wins handily over the Z5C. Maybe that changes with the 6.0 update, but right now, S6. The Z5C pictures aren't bad though and are fine for my current use. Don't miss the S6 at all and enjoy the Z5C much more. Maybe hold on and see how the Z6C turns out.
