After years and years of dissimulation in which Apple has (to put it politely) ignored the vast market of smartphones over -dimensionati, now l ‘ iPhone 6 Plus has become a reality. To be honest, we expected a long, and had been widely anticipated. Practically, this device was not any surprise to anyone who followed the rumor.
The question that you will certainly anyone who wants a “ phablet ” or at least a phone with a big screen is the usual. This new model as opposed to those already out on the market? And if we take into account the phablet, there is already a basis for comparison and does not have an apple on his back. The king of this segment is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and came out with a few days in advance of the iPhone 6 Plus.’s Compare!
Design
Apple has always been a huge fan of the shells in metal , and the iPhone 6 Plus does not betray the expectations. The device of Cupertino is made of anodized aluminum, and is often 7,1mm. The edges are very rounded. The dimensions are great for an iPhone, but if your fingers are short and stubby, you can really use it with one hand. Apple has some extremely talented designer, and have become masters at designing phones, although oversize. Only problem: the camera is obviously too large a unit for those 7,1mm, and sticks out like a boss. It is undoubtedly a cosmetic defect.
On the other side of the fence, with the Notes 4 we are faced with a 100% Samsung. The Korean brand can not boast a love for detail and creative elegance comparable to that of Apple, and the various generations of Galaxy Note have often suffered from a little judicious choices of its designers. It must be said that this time Samsung has calmed his inner demons, and avoided gaudy and cheap finishes like chrome plastic and fake leather. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a nice car with a body made of metal and milled board frames the unit. Polycarbonate and aluminum blend harmoniously, and although here too the camera protrudes a bit ‘, does not offend the view. Beautiful, but not elegant, the look is decidedly utilitarian.
The response: Apple knows how to do his job, despite some flaws iPhone 6 Plus does not look like a bit ‘too ordinary rival. As for the size, proportions slightly different still can not do much to distance the two devices, which weigh almost the same, have a length and a width comparable and they are not too different in terms of thickness.
The display of the two phablet
The iPhone uses a Retina display 5.5 “ to 1080p with 401 ppi density. It is a very fine screen, color-accurate and that seems to be a joy to touch and use.
That said, the Note has a 4 screen 5.7 “HD Super AMOLED Quad with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a density of 515 ppi. The colors are amazing, the definition is outstanding and the unit is bright, reliable and is simply the best the industry has to offer in this field.
The response: c ‘is not much to say, really. Samsung wins hands down.
Hardware and SoC
Hearts device buttons, without the processors and all the “organs” Our device will not work, but these specifications are always less important for a user who is now vaccinated in mind-boggling numbers and not known if Flappy Bird runs on a 64-bit dual core or an old patched.
On the one hand however we have the “mysterious” A8 64-bit Apple, improved by 25% compared to last year but almost unknown in their characteristics. No one knows what its RAM, but according to most experts should be 1GB. Storage space varies from one model to another: 16GB, 64GB, 128GB. The battery is a mystery, but Apple swears that it can take up to 12 hours.
Samsung on the other hand does not hide the Snapdragon SoC (octa-core or quad-core depending on the market), nor the 3GB of RAM . Its storage space is expandable to 32GB with 64GB other option is missing the opponent. The battery is removable 3.300mAh.
The response: Samsung seems to have the best, if only because we know what it is and how it behaves. Apple on the other hand extreme care in optimizing the operating system for its devices, so it is difficult to think that the iPhone 6 Plus behaves badly, you will definitely smoother and more powerful … but probably is a flagship with the brute force of Note 4 .
In addition, we can not but appreciate the expandable storage space and battery that can be replaced by removing the shell back of the Samsung. A classic choice that always succeeds.
Cameras
That of multimedia is the real war of the smartphone market, and Apple chooses to remain at 8MP, giving up extreme resolutions in favor of an on-board software and lenses extremely refined. We do not have the elements to judge the goodness of this choice, but Apple describes the unit as extremely fast, with little noise and great colors.
The Note 4 singles (also here) brute force, with 16MP and excellent on-board software. The result is that the Korean knows phablet take pictures very well.
The response: you can not decide right now. We’ll see what the experts say.
Conclusion
The fight is open, and Apple has entered a straight leg in a market which until now had been ousted voluntarily. Both devices do not yet exist on the market, so it is perhaps too early to pass judgment, but on paper the notes 4 appears to massacre rival Cupertino
The family notes has gained popularity without much hype, but responding to users’ expectations and providing a solid product, although very expensive. The iPhone 6 Plus finds himself in the unfamiliar position to act as a pretender to the throne.
The Apple name promises, however, a functional device, supported by a vast ecosystem and solid. Under normal conditions, this would be enough, but this time the Apple offering may not be convincing.
