iPhone 6 versus the Competition

The ever competitive smartphone market is always bustling with new handsets and expectations about upcoming things to come. But the recent launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus created the unprecedented amount of hype and interest world over compared all other previous launches. It is for the first time Apple has decided to focus on bigger display screen to beat the competition. At present the standing of competition against iPhone 6 is appearing a lot bleak simply because of the array of breakthrough features, design aspects and technological edge offered by these new Apple devices. It is also for the first time that Apple decided to offer 2 different versions of the same smartphone model with a focus on meeting the expectations for a bigger screen size. Let us now have a look at the various aspects of iPhone 6 versus the competition.   

Design and Display

Truly in both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus you will have the coolest design. Two nearby comparable devices are LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. iPhone 6 Plus is bigger in size while in actual screen size stands equal to LG G3 and just a notch less than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. But both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the slimmest smartphones compared to any other device in the market.  New Quad HD display of the device is a move ahead of its Retina display in earlier phones and at present it stands equal to both the competitive models mentioned above. In so called number of resolution pixel count the device may seem a little lacking - 401 ppi compared to 514 ppi in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and 534 ppi in LG G3. But Apple’s proprietary technology and proven efficiency in display still make it look a better choice, since it has the highest resolution among all iPhone devices till date. Sleek, slim, smooth and stunning - these are exact words to describe this new iPhone avatar visually. Moreover, the device is extremely lightweight weighing just 172 gram against 176 gram Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and 149 gram of LG G3.

Internal Storage

In respect of storage this new iPhone offering stands really formidable against any other smartphone brands in the market. Besides the regular 16GB and 32GB option it also offers a massive 128GB internal memory option leaving competition far behind. All other devices including the two mentioned above only offers up to 32GB of internal memory. Though like any other iPhone models you have no option to extend your phone memory, while Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will offer up to 64GB of expandable memory option with micro SD card.

Camera and Video Output

Unquestionably you can expect the best smartphone camera output ever with these two iPhone models thanks not just higher pixel count but some cutting edge image augmenting technologies. 8MP rear and 1.2MP front camera may look a lot bleak in numbers compared to 16MP and 3.7MP in the Samsung device and 13MP and 2.1MP in the LG device. But earlier iPhone models with lesser pixel count still looks great while it comes to image quality simply because of typical iPhone image augmenting technologies. That typical iPhone experience is only going to be better this time. With higher frame rate, time-lapse mode and some video augmenting features the device will offer a great video output as well.

Some Standout Features

For the first time with this new iPhone avatar Apple is going to offer fingerprint technology with a feature called Touch ID. This would fill up the gap to combat Samsung’s fingerprint scanner and LG’s Smart Notice. New touch sensitive sensor like Barometer, FaceTime HD and Apple Pay (for paying bills through your mobile) would add higher level of ease for the users. New IOS 8 operating system in the device is already equipped to connect all health gadgets and home gadgets with a health app. In feature set UV light sensor and health features like heart rate sensor in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and LG Health app looking bleak compared to rich in-built features and the wide ranging possibilities that developers are going to unveil in the time to come.
