As usual, the Apple zealous blogs cherry pick results and only included older Android devices to compare against For a better comparison, check out the Galaxy S6 Edge http://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-Smartphone-Review.149487.0.html http://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-Smartpho...

I'm not exactly a fan of Apple-focused reporting either, but every single graph except one in this article has statistics for the S6 Edge. The one that doesn't has stats for the S6, which has the same compute hardware as the S6 Edge. Anandtech is historically not a Apple-focused reporter; in my experience they've been fairly neutral.

  Yeah, I actually meant edge plus (which has much faster UFS 2.0 vs prior filesystem performance). Not that it matter. The HN hivemind has decided to love Apple at all costs and just downvoted me anyway.

    Are you sure it isn't because you claimed the article cherrypicked results by not including a phone that was, in fact, included in all but one graph, and then justified your misplaced criticism based on the omitted phone having faster storage -- even though the phone in question was specifically included in the storage benchmarks?

    It's not fair to blame the HN hivemind when you make a pointed request in biased language, and aren't even correct in your request. Look inwards.

    Perhaps it is well worth your time to consider other reasons for the down votes. Doing so may prove beneficial to you in terms of inter personal communication.

    Don't confuse "hivemind" with you acting like a jackass and getting down-voted for it. If you've got a concern, try and express it in terms that aren't combative.
