SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE VS IPHONE6 BATTLE OF THE BEAST!
Samsung Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6: Which is best?
You guys should be wondering which phone is getting the upper hand between this beast huh?
iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Which of the best phones of 2015 should you buy? Here's our verdict on the battle of the Apple and Samsung flagships
The Samsung Galaxy S6 along with the Galaxy S6 Edge are two of the best smartphones the Korean company has come up with in a very long time.
For the first time in a long time, we finally have a flagship worthy of comparison with the iPhone 6.. Although Apple has now officially revealed its 2015 flagship duo in the shape of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
So if you don't go for the new iPhone and had to spend the money to upgrade, which is the one handset you should go for?
We've been using these two fine smartphones since they launched and still use them now. So we have a pretty good idea of what they're good and bad at doing. Unlike last year's shootout of the S5 vs iPhone 6, it's not as clear cut.
One of the finest looking Phone around... You heard about the one plusX
OnePlus already has a reputation for solid budget smartphones but its latest handset could be its best value yet.
The Chinese company unveiled the OnePlus X Thursday, it's cheapest and most beautiful smartphone yet. It delivers a solid set of specs in a slick frame with a price that will be difficult to beat.
Despite being OnePlus' cheapest smartphone to date, it still squeezes respectable specs into its 5-inch metal frame. The device comes in two variants: Onyx, which will sell for $249, and Ceramic, a limited edition model which will only be available in Europe and India for 369 Euros. Both models have the same guts, with only cosmetic differences between the two (more on that later.)
The OnePlus X has a 1080p AMOLED display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 3GB of RAM. It has dual-SIM slots and 16GB of onboard storage with the option to expand up to 128GB with the second SIM slot doubling as a MicroSD slot. (
YYes, this means you have to choose between an extra SIM or extra storage, though it hard to fault the company for that, considering the $249 price tag.) The 13-megapixel rear-facing camera has an f/2.2 aperture and shoots 1080p video and has a slow motion mode that shoots at 720p and 120fps. The 8-megapixel front-facing camera has an f/2.4 aperture.
Let's be honest though, you're probably not going to be buying the OnePlus X for its specs. You're going to buy it for its beautiful design and the price. If the goal of the OnePlus 2 was to give users flagship specs on a budget, OnePlus CEO Carl Pei told me, then the goal of the OnePlus X is to compete on design. And on that front, it delivers.Rather than "sandstone black" textured back it used in the OnePlus One and Two, the company opted for a glass back that reminiscent of what Apple did so well with the iPhone 4S. The glass back is smooth and makes the 4.86oz budget phone feel more like a premium device than either of the company's previous handsets.
The glass does make the device a bit more slippery and it does attract a crazy amount of fingerprints, though OnePlus makes a variety of cases for the phone, including one in black sandstone, for those who want to cover the glass back for whatever reason.
You might not notice the edges of the OnePlus X, which is just under 7 mm thick but the side bezels have 17 "micro-cuts" etched into them, which improve the overall grippiness of the device. The power and volume rocker also employ what Pei calls "radial grooves" to make "each click perfect." (I wasn't able to discern any difference in my testing time, though I didn't have any issues with the buttons either.)
What's inside
Inside, the OnePlus X runs OxygenOS, the company's home-brewed operating system that is pretty close to stock Android 5.1 Lollipop. It uses the same notification slider — a physical switch on the left side of the handset — onscreen gestures and "shelf" feature as the OnePlus 2. One new addition to the operating system though is a built-in FM radio app.
The fact that this all powered by last year's Snapdragon 801 chip will likely disappoint some but Pei insists it outperformed some newer chips in their benchmarks (he says they put it up against chips in the 400 and 600 series, including this year's Snapdragon 617.)
I wasn't able to really put the OnePlus X through its paces in my time with it but I didn't experience noticeable lag and wasn't able to get it to warm up during my testing. As Mashable'sproduct analyst Raymond Wong noted earlier this month, the 801 should "be plenty for the usual assortment of web browsing, messaging, watching videos and playing casual games," which, really, is what budget devices are intended for.
Ceramic vs. Onyx
The 369 Euro Ceramic version of the OnePlus X is the more premium limited edition version of the handset. Though the internals are identical, the extra price likely accounts for the sheer time and effort it takes to make the mold. Each ceramic mold bakes for 28 hours before it cools for two days. Even then, for every 100 ceramic molds cast, Pei says only 20 are good enough to make it to production.
Though the Ceramic OnePlus X looks just as good as the Onyx, it's probably not worth the extra cash unless you really want it as a kind of status symbol. The only discernible difference — other than the slightly increased weight and size of the back plate — is the slightly angled edge that encircles the back of the phone.
The company seems to realize a device like this will have a limited appeal and OnePlus is only selling 10,000 of the Ceramic versions. Pei says the plan is to make them available only in India and Europe, where the company will partner with local fashion boutiques to sell them. Oh, and you'll need a special Ceramic-only invite to buy one, which brings us to...
Yes, more invites
In a move that will undoubtedly frustrate many potential OnePlus users, the company is once again using an invitation system. Pei readily acknowledges the company screwed this up with its last two launches but he says it is necessary for a hardware startup — having to cut prices because of a huge amount of unsold phones (a la Amazon's Fire Phone) could spell financial ruin for the company that already sees very slim margins on their handsets.
But, this time around, the invite system will only stick around a month and Pei says they have plans to open up sales to anyone for short periods during the invite phase. The OnePlus X Onyx will be available to those with invitations in Europe first, beginning November 5 with sales opening up to those in the U.S November 19. The Ceramic will be available with an invite beginning November 24.
How similar does the htc one A9 look to the iPhone 6S, The A9 is darker than the Space Gray iPhone, more graphite than gray, but they share a brushed aluminum finish and rounded edges at the backs and corner. They also share antenna bands on the back. The A9 is 5.75 in. long, 2.75 in. wide, and 0.3 in. thick; that's 0.3 in. longer and 0.1 in. wider than an iPhone 6S. At 5.0 oz., the weight is identical.
