Even if you have not been looking for a new smartphone
everyone has been talking about the release of the iPhone 6. This talk has not necessarily been for good
reasons. Hundreds of people waited
outside, some even for weeks, to get their hands on what Apple claims “isn’t
simply bigger- it’s better in every way.”(IPhoneA 6) But was the iPhone 6 worth the wait? Or
should you open your options to the new Samsung Galaxy 5s?
The new iPhone 6 plus features a
larger screen than any iPhone before but how does it compare to the Samsung
Galaxy 5s? Both phones range similar in
price so one should really compare the features of all smart phones offered. The Samsung Galaxy 5s is similar in design to
the Samsung Galaxy S4 except for the new rounded edges and the faux leather,
which can be seen as a negative to some.
Though the iPhone may win to some with its design, the iPhone’s 750 X
1334 display doesn’t compare to the Samsung Galaxy 1920 X 1080 HD.
If processing power is a decision
factor then look no further than the Samsung Galaxy S5s GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon
core processor. According to Tech Times
website, the new iPhone “hovers around the 1.4 GHz mark.” (Samsung Galaxy) Along with dominating in processing power,
the iPhone 6 has the same RAM as their last phone, only 1GB, compared to
Samsung’s 3GBs. This means if you plan
on downloading a lot of apps and playing high powered games, you’re out of
luck.
What maybe a deciding factor for
some maybe the quality of camera the phone offers. Unfortunately the iPhone loses the battle camera
and Samsung once again triumphs with 16MP compared to the iPhone’s 8MP. The 8MP iPhone camera can also be found on
the iPhone 5s. The front facing camera
on the Samsung also reigns superior.
If still debating on upgrading your
iPhone from the iPhone 5s to the iPhone 6 one may want to consider the
upgrade. The iPhone’s new design is
better than ever with a larger screen and a lighter weight. Though if looking for a better camera, one
may not want to consider upgrading.
Apple has also decided to make a slimmer design over increasing the
batter life. Some people may be drawn to
the introduction of Apple’s new Apple A8 processor. This processor should, according to Apple’s
website “you can do more, for longer periods of time, with better performance
and battery life” (Apple)
Is the iPhone the phone for you?
It’s personal preference, but when comparing the iPhone 6 with the features on
the Samsung Galaxy 5s, there is no comparison.
The Samsung reigns supreme. If you are a new smart phone user and are
looking for an easy user interface to understand then the iPhone 6s maybe the
phone for you. All depend on personal preference and what you want in a
smartphone, but don’t be shy to venture away from your typical band and try
something new!
