Consumer Reports, you buy the Galaxy S5 is better than the Galaxy S6 – Macity (Blog)

The best smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy S5: Consumer Reports explains why most new S6 and S6 Edge not dominate the ranking and recommends to buy the previous model.

The Galaxy S5 is better than the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Galaxy. This is the conclusion reached by Consumer Reports, the largest association of American consumers, an independent reality and that has always stood out for its independent and dispassionate judgments

Although the new Samsung phones, says Consumer Reports , position themselves among the best smartphones of the moment, they are not able to beat the Samsung Galaxy S5 last year for more than one reason. The new phones – the association explains – both have a very defined screen (1.440p Quad HD) which guarantees excellent quality (remember, with a resolution of 550 pixels per inch). Also like the dual ability to reload quickly with cable (up to 50% of battery capacity in 30 minutes) or wirelessly, but despite this they lose everything for which, until last year, could be considered an alternative to iPhone .

Over the years with the Galaxy, Samsung has traditionally offered the latest technologies combined with the ability to replace the battery or upgrade the memory, while Apple has always given priority to the design, materials and overall simplicity of use.

With the new S6 and S6 Edge, Samsung has turned around, making them much more similar to iPhone (in the course of the movie that we publish it says explicitly that the design is inspired by that of the iPhone) and the aim is more on style than on functions. Both are made from glass and aluminum, materials that give a look definitely more elegant, but at the same time eliminated the replaceable battery and expansion via microSD. This means that users who will buy one will have to take your phone to a service center to replace the battery or buy a more expensive version if you wish to have more storage space, just like you are used to do with iPhone. Consumer Reports adds that are not water resistant as the previous Galaxy S5.

Although Samsung promises to replace the battery in the new Galaxy for free if the charging capacity falls below 80% within the first year ($ 45 more than this time) and fixes the screen for $ 45 against $ 80 repair of iPhone, all these limitations, make that the previous Galaxy S5 continues to dominate the top spot in the annual ranking by Consumer Reports .
