The design of the Galaxy S6 does not govern the basic principles of symmetry

iPhone 6 vs. Galaxy S6

iPhone 6 vs. Galaxy S6

This is one of the posts that usually brings controversy, so first of all, I'm going to prepare my umbrella and say that for me, the new Galaxy S6 and especially the Galaxy S6 Edge, they are one of the most beautiful mobiles out there today. However, it seems that there are people who have analyzed its design in a less superficial way and how could it be otherwise, have compared it to the iPhone 6.

You know Apple's obsession with symmetry, it has been one of its main pillars since its existence. Samsung, for its part, does not consider this important factor to develop its designs and we have proof of this in el Galaxy S6, terminal in which all the elements of its edges are not aligned.

Galaxy S6

Clearly No one is going to stop buying the Galaxy S6 for a reason like this But those who know the work behind a good design will appreciate these kinds of details.

Recall that symmetry is one of the basic principles When it comes to designing, however, in the case of the iPhone it is also the reason why today, we have a huge frame at the top and bottom of the terminal screen. Indeed, they are symmetrical and although the upper one can be reduced considerably, as long as the lower one has the Home button occupying its full height, Apple is not going to modify it. Symmetry is there, for the good and for the bad.

In Samsung they do not have that problem and for that reason, each element is put in order to make the manufacturing process easier or cheaper final. It is the only reason that I see for varying the arrangement in that way and not opting for the symmetry that the iPhone looks like.

Galaxy S6

Let's take this post as a simple curiosity or even humorous tone. As I say, no one is going to stop buying the Galaxy S6 because its button is not aligned with the SIM tray.

    There are also designs in which precisely that absence of symmetry makes them attractive or unique…. for color tastes, but I don't think symmetry should be a "basic principle" of design

    1.    Julian Torres said

      In design it is called balance (symmetry) and it is a basic principle, symmetrical things are better proportioned and are more pleasing to the eye. And of course sometimes the absence of symmetry is valid but it brings more problems later.
      Note: I make the comment with the intention of showing why it is a basic principle, but not that it is necessary to apply it.

    2.    Paul Esquinazi said

      But a basic principle does not apply to everything, because the absence of symmetry does not always bring problems, as is the case of buttons on a mobile for example. It can be more beautiful, uglier, more or less ergonomic, but only that

      Although I do not like Samsung to say that symmetry is not always beautiful, and if not there you have the Millennium Falcon.

    Well, I don't care about symmetry hahaha, I love my iPhone 6 and I'm not going to put the XDD horns on it (I'm a fan of Apple, everyone has their tastes) I would buy the galaxy s6 edge for my mother who drools , to have if I save and gift that XDD falls, and another thing I compare it with my IPHONE 6, bone the edge with mine 6 and it was the same size, it is not bigger than the iPhone 6, and it is 100% that it was the galaxy edge because the poster put the new samaung galaxy s6 edge with its two curves on the screen, and maybe it is a millimeter larger, but it is very very similar ... Are there different models? I mean because maybe a place is bigger I don't know, but I compared it and they were the same hahahaha greetings!

  4.   Rafael Pazos placeholder image said

    I compared them in an Orange store not on a sign on XDD Street, and I swear they were the same ..

    Of course, no one will stop buying a galaxy s6 because its edges are not aligned at least with the naked eye. What on the contrary happens with Apple products that look more or less on the outside but on the inside they are poorly built as in the case of the FRONT camera without forgetting the VOLUME BUTTONS and also the HOME BUTTON and that is not noticed by the People who Know Quality but those who saved their money to buy Something Good and in return receive an overrated bad quality product but it is not even clear that it is also a Mass Production of all these Sections.

    Apple fans criticizing the design and nothing to say about the performance, BrendaBere Barragán Calleja, switch to android hahaha. Your iPhone is very cool but I prefer my Samsung, it depends on the tastes and needs of each one.

      The best comment of all.

  18.   Gamaliel Caceres said

    Well, I already had contact with the S6 and the truth is that it is cool, only the big problem is android, that of the copies happens with everything, cars, cell phones, etc, so it is not to worry ... I repeat: the problem is android. Sent from xperia L

    Samsung always wanting to follow in Apple's footsteps and has never managed to get there

    1.    Abimael balderas placeholder image said

      Yes of course making your processors, hardware, and screens hahahahaha the good thing that Samsung always follows Apple and more with all the technology

  22.   David Lopez del Campo said

    Even for that they are winners who do not know or align the components that people still think that Samsung is better and not a single component fits, however in APPLE everything aligned perfectly For that you pay for a phone so that it is ok

  23.   Josue said

    Steve Jobs was a mason, they believe in symmetry, everything must be designed in harmony with the rest of the components, hence the beauty of apple products, if someone does not believe me just see the logo of the app store and compare it with that of the masons

  24.   Pepe said

    And making a protruding rear camera is also symmetrical, right?

  25.   John Michael said

    I still think that you cannot compare an iPhone 6 with a galaxy s6, first they have different processor and second different RAM memory, a fair comparison should be with a galaxy S3 that has the same cores as the iPhone 6 and the same RAM memory, well The galaxy s6 has 8 cores and 3 GB of RAM, and it is just no more than 5% faster than the iPhone 6 in some cases, hahaha for it's crap

  26.   hector manuel villa said

    Samsung is the opposite of Symmetry: v

  27.   Clauss de la vega said

    If apple were the best xq Samsung makes them its processors and apple also copies the models or xq looks like htc its design, no x nothing was sued iphone

    1.    Valentin herbret said

      Samsung does not make its processors, it only remanufactures them, Apple designs and manufactures its materials, Samsung is only a worker because it has the infrastructure to mass produce, make no mistake.

    2.    Abimael balderas placeholder image said

      Hahahahaha sorry friend but apparently you are very knowledgeable, let me inform you and help you understand.
      Samsung makes processors for apple both for iphone and ipad, it makes the hardware for its iwhatch, it creates the screens for its devices so something else you would like to know and I remind you that its motto for Apple was never to make screens larger than 4 ″ but Apparently he wanted to copy Samsung with galaxy note ay I remember you while Samsung has been 5 years ahead of technology Apple is just putting NFC to their computers there in case you know and if not I will leave it for you hahahahaha

      But they get stuck and the interface is disgusting.

      1.    Juan said

        The Shamshung fanboy is right here, however there is no relationship between Shamshug electronics and Shamshung who creates components, so their devices do not have such a processor; Likewise, using a generic interface for 60 different models and brands makes your device slow and obviously buggy. Just look at a Shamshug user after 4 months of having his phone and the problems begin. Now when Apple adds 2GB RAM to their devices we will see if Korean lovers keep comparing when there is no such comparison yet!

    4.    Abimael balderas placeholder image said

      And you already have an S6 so mnos el flat ???

  28.   Juan said

    Hahahaha look at the speed comparison videos and the Shamshung may be 10GB and still slower than the iPhone 6. Simple: Apple = innovation / Shamshung = XNUMXrd party copy.

    Juan, it is not symmetrical!

    The camera in the iphone6, by protruding and being placed on the side (AND BREAKING THE "SYMMETRY"), makes the use, a "disastrous" experience when using it resting on a flat surface. How strange that the editor has not taken that into account.

  33.   Giorat23 said

    JAJAJAJA Simón you talk about the tiny bump of the iPhone 6 camera .. As you can see that you have never tried and seen the ENROMEEEE and horrible bulge rather than bump of the S6 that if when using it resting on a table it dances so much that little else is given return! And that added the frightening mirrored material that fills with footprints and stands out.

  34.   Luiso71 said

    Copy man can, but go that the S6 is cheap! No man no, it is as expensive as the iPhone if they have even copied the pricing plans. For my part I want removable battery and SD. You are not going to convince me. Greetings.
