Apple unveiled its new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus , the only top of the range for iOS that will have a full year to stand up to Android smartphones worldwide . Every year are recurrent comparisons that put one against the other two factions, and we at IBTimes Italy , we decided to do it first with a comparison on paper that will seek to have the vast majority of players for top of the range devices currently on the market.
The reason? To clarify ideas to users and direct them to the purchase of the device that best suits him . For ease of reading, we decided to divide what will cover iPhone 6s than the iPhone 6s Plus, available at this address. The gauntlet is actually interesting iPhone 6s, Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, G4 LG, HTC One M9, OnePlus 2 and Sony Xperia Z5 .
DESIGN . The designers have all worked hard to present users with terminals in their declinations best starting but often from completely different ideas. Apple, OnePlus and Sony have chosen to remain faithful to the previous generation of their flagship focusing solely on hardware equipment and small cosmetic changes while HTC and LG have preferred, although not distorting the design, lead a process of modernization of the lines.
Samsung was the company to be more daring, forced by users tired from his lines, completely revolutionizing the series Galaxy S. But what is common to all these devices is the quality of the materials in the assembly of the body that for the new iPhone 6s is aluminum alloy 7000 , anodized aluminum and glass for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge , plastic for G4 , aluminum two-tone for One M9 , aluminum and magnesium for OnePlus 2 and metal and glass for Xperia Z5 which is the only one to be impermeable .
To say which is the more resistant it is not easy but certainly the plastic G4, whose back into the more expensive version is completely in the skin, can not compete with the others. Following him are Samsung and Sony with the hybrid solution combining aluminum and glass all others are placed on the same step despite the new iPhone 7000 aluminum and aluminum alloy and magnesium OnePlus 2 are, at least on paper, the only materials to ensure good scratch resistance. Perhaps even shock but is not the case to try.
DISPLAY . Even the best ratio size / weight is difficult to determine when you consider that some of the terminals in comparison have a screen to define the limit smartphone. You can, however, take into account the thickness and weight of the devices, index of usability and portability: 6.8 mm and 138 grams for the Galaxy S6 , 7.1 mm and 143 grams for iPhone 6s 7.3 mm and 154 grams for Xperia Z5 , 9.8 mm and 155 grams for G4, 9.61 millimeters and 161 grams for One M9 and 9.85 millimeters and 175 grams for OnePlus 2.
Differences due to its display with more innovative units used by LG and Samsung. The first chose a IPS panel LCD 5.5 inch diagonal, 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and 534 PPI with Advanced Technology In-Cell Touch (AIT) that combines the LCD and the touch sensor in a single layer thereby improving the color reproduction and the touch sensitivity. The second one, a panel Super AMOLED 5.1 inch diagonal and 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution who depends on the density of pixels per inch, a value brought 577 PPI .
And in the case of S6 Edge presents both curves. Others are simple LCD panels IPS with diagonal between 5.0 and 5.5-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and PPI between 401 and 441 . A separate deserves Apple with its iPhone 6s integrating a screen Retina 4.7-inch diagonal, 750 x 1334 pixels resolution and 326 PPI . Unit significantly less powerful among those confronted but in spite of the other integrates Touch 3D technology that makes the iPhone can detect how much pressure armies on the display.
The 3D Touch reacts to the slightest variations in pressure and accurately registers a dynamic range of stresses. The variations of gravity that occur when you’re holding the device. And depending on the intensity detected we are new functions in addition to the Multi-Touch controls as touch and slide, developed to enhance the user experience.
CHIPSET . The System On Chip on these devices are very similar, except for the Apple A9 architecture with 64-bit , optimized properly by the operating system to ensure CPU performance of the best 70% than the previous generation . And also the graphics performance is enhanced, making up to 90% more snappy. A great result considering the levels at which it is currently 6 iPhone . The counterparty Android, instead, we have the Snapdragon 810 HTC One M9, OnePlus 2 and Sony Xperia Z5, the Snapdragon 808 for LG G4 and the ‘ Exynos 7420 for the Samsung Galaxy S6.
The first includes a Octa Core processor characterized big.LITTLE ARM architecture which provides for ‘ combined use of four core Cortex A57 with four other lower power, Cortex A53 , supported in turn by the dedicated Adreno 430 GPU clocked at 630 MHz . In the case of the HTC One and Sony Xperia M9 Z5, RAM support it is 3 GB and OnePlus chose 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4. A quantity that can be exploited properly in 64-bit processor architecture.
The Snapdragon 808 LG G4, is a unit that focuses on performance in respect of resource management. The credit is the Esa Core Qualcomm processor that the combined use and intelligent Two Core Cortex A57 1.8 Ghz with four lower power Cortex A53 1.44 Ghz , supported in turn 3 GB of RAM LPDDR3 and dedicated Adreno 418 GPU clocked at 660 MHz and support the new Ultra HD.
Always the same 64-bit architecture big.LITTLE for the Octa Core Exynos 7420 Galaxy S6. A unit characterized by 4 Cortex A57 2.0 Ghz and 4 others Cortex A53 1.5 Ghz that in more complex operations are supported by Mali T-760 GPU with 3GB of RAM . Connectivity is similar for all and includes Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, NFC, A-GPS, LTE and HSPA + 21/42 Mbps.
However, , it should be emphasized that on OnePlus 2 is absent while the NFC is the technology Dual SIM Standby thanks to the double slot Nanosim and LG G4 is the infrared . The new iPhone has a modem from his compliant 4G LTE Advanced and supporting up to 23 LTE bands .
Memory . We can group the devices from those who have the internal memory expandable and those who did not support the MicroSD card. In the first group we HTC One M9, LG and Sony Xperia G4 Z5. All three with 32 GB expandable . In the second group, however, we find the new iPhone 6s available in denominations of 16, 64 and 128 GB , Samsung Galaxy S6 available in denominations of 32, 64 and 128 GB and OnePlus 2 in only 64 GB version .
It is clear, therefore, that among the non-expandable only Apple and Samsung are the most versatile choice for users constantly looking for space .
MULTIMEDIA FUND . Apple has focused a lot on the multimedia sector of these new iPhone 6s that eventually shortened up with the other top of the range thanks to a rear camera of 12 megapixels with autofocus, flash True Tone and a 5 megapixel front cam . A mix of features that is still early to try their hand but that has all it takes to keep up with others, thanks to the ability to capture video in 4K or technical solutions as the screen that lights up when the a self-timer for ideal illumination of the face.
Moving on to Android, however, the most efficient are the new Sony Xperia Z5 and LG G4. The first debuted with a rear camera sensor Exmor RS 1 / 2.3-inch 23-MegaPixel, along with a lens aperture F / 2.0 . This means excellent performance even in low light, a hybrid autofocus very fast, only 0.03 seconds and 5x digital zoom known as a clear image because it minimizes the loss of quality . Before has a 5 megapixel cam.
LG G4 has on the back a 16 MegaPixel camera with focal aperture of 1.8 that carries an above-average amount of light to the sensor, an optical stabilizer of new generation (OIS 2.0) that is able to compensate for up to 2 degrees of movement on the X and Y, double the previous generation, and the laser focus: it takes 0276 seconds . The engineers then developed the novel sensor Color Spectrum Sensor that improves color accuracy by detecting accurately the RGB values of the ambient light in addition to infrared light reflected by objects framed.
The CSS uses this information to adjust the white balance and the flash of the camera, snapping more lifelike images. LG G4, allowing you to take professional photos thanks to the manual mode, with specific settings for exposure time, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance as well as the image format: JPEG and RAW, finally includes a camera front from 8 MegaPixel with focal opening 2.0 for self-portraits clear and sharp, as well as simple .
followed, always in pairs, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the HTC One M9. The first uses a rear camera Sony 16 megapixel with optical image stabilizer, auto focus and LED flash , can capture the good quality images and videos in 4K. The camera is directly accessible by a double press on the power button is also on the front body for those who can not do without and which selfie Samsung has reserved 5 MegaPixel . One M9 betting everything on a cam from 20.7 six MegaPixel lens, dual LED flash for actual colors and not staggered and sapphire crystal to protect .
This is able to capture images consistently sharp video and 4K. Before, however, there is a module 4 MegaPixel technology UltraPixel . Two solutions undoubtedly superior on paper to those Samsung, which could defend itself only by a series of proprietary algorithms implemented in the software of the camera, the Korean leadership has pointed out during the presentation.
OnePlus 2, however, up to the other thanks to a specific optimization software, begins with a rear camera 13 megapixels with autofocus laser, f / 2.0, a goal six elements that prevents distortion back, OIS optical stabilizer and dual LED flash . A mix that thanks to the pixel sensor containing 1.3 mM for the capture of light , one of the highest values for a 13-megapixel webcam, ensures unbeatable performance even in low light conditions. Before, fans selfie will have a view from 5 MegaPixel .
BATTERY . The discourse on autonomy is particularly complex and deserves a simultaneous testing of all terminals because different battery for a hundred mAh can safely be equivalent. The main differences in these cases, in fact, depend mostly from the screen and from the processor but comparing different operating systems, also from the respective optimizations. It should be said that battery life has never been the forte of the iPhone and that in this new model has been further reduced to make room for other components, choosing a ‘ unit 1715 mAh .
A battery that despite the task of feeding a panel from just 4.7-inch nothing against the 3300 mAh of OnePlus 2, 3000 mAh G4, 2900 mAh Xperia Z5, 2840 mAh and 2550 mAh One M8 Galaxy S6 . Among the latter the System On Chip work like and therefore to make a real difference will be the type of optimization made to the chip so that the best, at least according to the most recent texts, are Xperia Z5 (and Sony wanted to reaffirm the tweet below) and Galaxy S6. All also OnePlus 2 and iPhone 6s excluded, technology support fast charging of the battery.
WHAT TO TAKE, WHO WINS, WHO LOSES? All terminals, as we have seen, They differ in some aspects that analyzed individually can push the purchase of one rather than the other. Overall, however, they are the same even though solutions that we have not shown how the operating system or the fingerprint reader, fast on iPhone OnePlus 6s and 2, and cardiofrequenzimentro, present only on the Galaxy S6, combine to define someone as the terminal more complete.
Another factor to keep in mind is the price, with iPhone 6s in first place among the most expensive. Then choose which one to buy it anyway to the end user who will evaluate all to suit your needs.
