| ![]() I would also like to add that 3D Touch is not a gimmick. Infact I use it all the time to switch quickly between applications so much so that whenever I am on a different phone, I instinctively press the leftmost edge to invoke multitasking. Also the implementation is incredibly good as it always is with iPhones. The way the rest of the UI blurs depending on how much force is applied on the screen is utterly seamless and shows the care with which the hardware and software integrate to make the feature work. |

I'm not against an iPhone or Apple but just against the way they overprice the products and make people pay the premium to double the memory which is ridiculous. At least after so many years they came up with 3d touch which is a useful feature. I wish for the price tag the iPhone includes the following features Quick Charge feature Wireless Charging IR Remote Expandable memory Customizable UI Soft buttons Ability to transfer files by connecting to a computer without needing a software Better camera Bigger battery I don't mind waiting a nano second for an app to open but I want the above features if I have to pay their asking price ![]() | |||||

Also how many of the so called customisation require you to root your device? Android is customisable because it is open source and not because Google wants it that way. They want a unified interface for all devices and not a disjointed mess that Android is because UI is the only differentiation between a LG, Samsung, MI or Huawei. http://www.zdnet.com/article/googles...-design-stick/ The so called customisation also makes it vulnerable to serious exploits. Do you know when Android started with hardware based encryption which iPhone has been doing since the 3GS days? Quote:

You are welcome to point me to a video where they do not open a youtube, facebook or the inbuilt dialer application faster by a few milliseconds and proclaim that it is the greatest. Games by far are the most taxing applications written for a phone because they tax GPU (rendering performance),CPU and Memory (Storage performance) My Moto Style drops frames all over the place even navigating UI and cannot run a basic game such as Temple Run 2 at 60 fps, something which my iPhone 4S can do just fine.

P.S Unless you can technically back up your argument rather than quoting specs every time to declare which is one better, I wont be answering further. P.P.S Further enlightenment http://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/t...6s-plus-review Last edited by extreme_torque : 29th May 2016 at 08:18. | ||||||||

I have all my content on my NAS and can access it from anywhere. the NAS has an app for file browsing. Using this app I can watch the same movie on the iPhone or tv without any conversion or iTunes etc. you can also store content and music in that app locally and send it from there to whatsapp etc |

| ![]() Being a 5S user since early '14, I started losing battery juice when I recently switched to fulltime 4G signal. I purchased a Samsung A5 (2016) last week and almost immediately regretted it. The reviews were great on paper and youtube but the main problems I had with the phone are: - Usability: Even though my hands are larger than average, it isn't easy to operate the phone with one hand. My lower palm near the thumb touches the screen and activates actions. - Internet browsing: I tried the default, chrome, UC browser, they all suck compared to safari. The spacing between fonts vertically are off, they look odd as hell. The smaller fonts are rendered even smaller and barely "touchable". Try browsing the non-mobile version of reddit, for example. The navigation back/forward between pages is not easy. - Inconsistent/ugly UI: The UI reminds me of CDE back from the solaris days. It's that ugly and very inconsistent across apps. There is no commonly agreed upon "design language" or a Human Interface Guideline that apps use. The hardware is great, display is great, design also is good (except for the part where it affects the usability by not having enough dead space around the touchscreen to not input accidental touches from parts of the hand other than the fingers). But the software? Has miles to go. Even my wife's Sony Xperia M2 from '14 has a better UI and feel compared to the latest Samsung. Lessons learnt: - Stick to the Apple ecosystem. Latest ones too expensive? Wait it out and get at older phone or wait for price drops like I did with buying 5S in early '14. - Strictly stick to display size < 5" if you mean to use the phone with one hand. (Sister happened to break her Asus display recently, so the Samsung now goes to her. I'm back with my 5S and will stick to it with more frequent charging until early '17 if I can) Last edited by nareshov : 29th May 2016 at 13:04. |

1) A reliable power efficient alternative to the always ON motion co-processor. 2) A well integrated VOIP solution like Facetime. I use them for conference calls with my colleagues in Europe. 3) Continuity between devices using the same iCloud account - I am a fan of taking calls on my mac or iPad whenever am near them and the phone for example is on charge. | ||

Now seriously contemplating getting Blackberry Passport or iPhone 6 plus. How is the iPhone 6 sound quality through earphones as compared to iPhone 4s or iPod classic? | |

| ![]() Friends, I have an iPhone 4 which is working fine except that now I am unable to hear any sound some playing multimedia files, but am able to hear the ring tones and other notifications. Are there 2 different set of speakers or is it something else. |

It sells on reliable performance (whether on day 1 or day 1500) and on a pretty awesome level of experience (whether camera or battery - neither is a segment topper, but the overall package is compelling). Why else would the 6s pack a *smaller* battery than the 6? | |
