I upgraded from the samsung Galaxy S3 and I am very pleased with this phone, the more I mess around with it the more I like it.
Apps
like S Health are now more focused than ever and the heart rate sensor
is great thing even though tech reviewers try to play it off as a
gimmick - this phone has literally made me want to be more active since I
purchased it, the biometric scanner is a great addition as well that
works perfectly for me 8/10 times.
Also great news is that upon
typing this I found out that micro usb chargers still work with this
phone (it's a USB 3.0 port that can also use a micro usb). No BS Apple
move.
The feel of the phone is the best of the series. Yes it's
plastic but it is definitely more upscale feeling to the touch while
maintaining a light weight, and aesthetically both the front and back
look great.
The screen is the best I've ever seen on a smartphone, crisp, colorful, and bright.
The
camera is an important feature for me and I'm happy to say it doesn't
disappoint - it's fast, takes great photos, the live HDR mode is awesome
as well. The only thing i'm not sold on is the 16:9 aspect ratio being
the only mode at 16mp. You can do a standard 4:3 aspect but at 12mp. But
still not necessarily bad since mega pixels don't mean much compared to
the actual sensor used.
The speaker is loud and clear, reception for
both the phone and wifi is great too. Better than my S3 with the 4.3
update, on that note Kit Kat is awesome!
One last note, the IP67 rating/ water resistance and dust resistance is an amazing and welcome feature.
In summation:
If
you're coming from an S3 then your contract is probably up this year,
and this is an amazing upgrade to a phone I loved. It really wasn't even
a question for me. Size, aesthetics, features, adding your own memory,
and still being able to replace your own battery made this a clear
choice over the HTC M8, and others. | Costumer Review | So I made the switch from using Android to the iPhone back in October,
and I've been using the iPhone 6 for the past few months now and can
give a detailed review on what it's like to switch over. Before this
switch, I've used the Samsung Galaxy S2 (first smartphone ever!) and
also the Nexus 4. Since I'm a tech enthusiast, I'm well versed and have
played around with many other Android devices, including all the big
names, Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and M7, One Plus One, and so on. Here are
my thoughts:
Things that the iPhone does really well (both hardware and software-wise):
1.
Camera. The behind the scene software for digitally capturing an image
is definitely the strongest sell for the iPhone. Other than the S5 and
Note 4, no smartphone really comes close to having the same kind of
image quality (no matter the megapixels) compared to the iPhone. This
was one of the reasons for me to switch over since I've started to
dabble with photography and wanted a really good camera in my
smartphone. (Side note, if you read a lot of tech blogs, there is a
notion that in the near future our smartphones won't accurately describe
our devices anymore since making a phone call is probably one of the
least commonly used features on a smartphone when you look at any
average user. Cameras, social media, emails all take a higher usage
rate than making a call... really interesting, but anyway, back to the
review). |
