Nowadays, it is very difficult for buyers to decide which smartphone they should purchase. Obviously, no one can make the decision on your behalf, but we can compare iPhone 6 Plus and HTC One M8 for your convenience.

HTC launched HTC One M8 at the beginning of this year, whereas Apple unveiled iPhone 6 Plus in the month of September. Many people might prefer iPhone 6 since it is recently released.  However, it is really foolish to choose the device on the basis of their release date. Buyer should closely look at all the features and spec of this both the devices ahead of the purchase.

Size:

Some People really get irritated when their phone cannot fit in their pockets and they have to keep it all the time in hands. Therefore, size is one of the most key features of any device.

Apple launched iPhone 6 Plus with a screen of 5.5 inches. Though the size is relatively bigger than all the previous iPhones, but still it cannot beat HTC One M8. Moreover, the round edges of the iPhone 6 Plus  plays a vital role in the thinness of the device. iPhone 6 Plus is of almost 0.27 inches thin that is a pretty remarkable thing. This size makes the device more attractive and stylish.

On the other hand, the HTC One M8 is larger if we compare it to the iPhone 6 Plus. However, the device appears pretty slim, but it is almost 35 percent thicker than the iPhone 6 Plus. The device is 0.37 inches thick and gives a really rock like feeling when you hold it in your hand.

 

Design:

As far as design is concerned, everyone has its own choice.  However, you would not notice much difference in the design of the two devices. Both iPhone 6 Plus and HTC One M8 offers a metal casing along with rounded edges.

The iPhone 6 Plus has an aluminum casing whereas the HTC One M8 has a pure metal case. iPhone 6 Plus certainly gives a delicate and slippery feeling when you hold it.

Both iPhone 6 Plus and HTC One M8 comes with a 1080 HD display, which is almost similar to the HDTV of your living room.

 

iPhone 6 Plus Vs HTC One M8 features:

Apple has powered iPhone 6 Plus with an A8 processor, which comes along with an M8 motion co processor. Usually, Co-processor helps a lot in saving the battery of your device, therefore M8 co processor of iPhone 6 Plus is certainly a big benefit for the users.

Moreover, the device has a 1.4 GHz dual core processor with a 1GB of internal storage. Apple generally offers three different storage options instead of slot for a MicroSD card.  Obviously, the price of the iPhone 6 Plus is directly related to the storage of the device. If you want more storage then you have to spend more money for it. The three storage options of iPhone 6 Plus are 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB.

iCloud is the only option to expand the storage of your iPhone 6 Plus.

On the other flip, HTC offered HTC One M8 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. However, HTC One M8 is not equipped with any additional processor except the usual Adreno 330 graphic processor. When it comes to storage HTC One M8 is way better since it has a 2 GB of internal RAM along with the option of Micro SD card.  The device is available in the 16 GB and 32 GB of storage options.

Users will have countless storage options in HTC One M8 due to the micro SD card of the device. Although there is not any co processor in HTC One M8, but its option of high storage will make it possible for your device to work more efficiently.

 

Camera:

As per the statement of Apple, the company has enhanced the 8 megapixel rear camera of iPhone 6 Plus through 1.5 micron pixels.  This novel camera comes with an iSight sensor along with focus pixel that help a lot in the process of autofocus phase detection. Optical image stabilization is one of the most exciting features of the camera of iPhone 6 Plus. The optical image stabilization has the ability to bear the shakes of your camera. In simple words, now you do not have to worry if you cannot keep your hand still while making a video. Optical Image Stabilization will take care of all these problems.

Whereas, HTC has not modified the camera of HTC One M8 that much this year. It has a 4 Ultrapixel rear camera with relatively larger pixel size. Ultrapixel sensor with the help of large sensor pixel improves the quality of a low light image. It is an extremely noteworthy feature for 3D images.

Specification:

Specs are the most important thing when you go to purchase a mobile phone. Therefore, it is impossible to ignore the specs of any device. Following are the specs of iPhone 6 and HTC One M8:

Apple launched iPhone 6 Plus with an A8 1.4GHZ dual core SoC Imagination Technologies. Undoubtedly, it is pretty forceful but still it is beatable. There are several other devices in the market that are comparatively more powerful than iPhone 6 Plus.

The company has really enhanced the connectivity of iPhone 6 Plus, since it comes with a LTE Cat 4 support. The company has also offered a bigger battery in iPhone 6 Plus which is definitely because of the large size of the device. However, the exact battery size of iPhone 6 Plus is 2,915 mAh.

On the other hand, HTC One M8 beats iPhone 6 Plus in terms of battery. HTC launched HTC One M8 with 2600mAh battery that is considerably bigger than the battery of iPhone 6 Plus.

 

Software:

It is really foolish to compare the software of the two devices since one runs on Android and the other on iOS.

iPhone 6 Plus works on the most recent version of iOS that is iOS 8. This latest update brings loads of alluring features such as Apple Pay, better iCloud, a brand new Health app, improved notification and facility to make use of the third party keyboard. The Health app of iOS 8 is really beneficial for health conscious people since it gather all your fitness details from different apps at a single place.

In comparison HTC One M8 works on Android 4.4 Kitkat along with HTC Sense 6. It adds more functionality in the lock screen of the device. It allows user to make shortcuts on the lock screen such as the HTC text message app, HTC browser and much more. Motion Launch that consists of five really useful features like you can launch BlinkFeed just by swiping down the phone to the right.

Currently, there are thousands of users who have their iPhones in their hands. They are really enthusiastic and giddy. You must be thinking that they are excited about their new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. However, this is not the case they are excited about the new iOS 8.

Apple has already installed iOS 8 in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Whereas, the users of other iPhones need to install the new version of iOS in order to get benefit from its new features.

However, iOS 8 is not that much new update since it has the same interface which is present in iOS 7. It is merely software to show how much progress iOS 8 has made up till now. We have compared the iOS 8 update to the Windows Phone 8.1 to figure out which one is more suitable for our users.

 

Developers:

Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8.1 operating system has lots of similar features of iOS and Android. Although the company has not states anything but still the likeness in two operating systems cannot be ignored.

Generally, Windows Phone provides a closed app network. This closed app network puts a restriction on the options of users.

The chief difference is in the way the two software deal with the developers. Shortly after the release of iTunes App Store, Apple has opened its forum for the developers. Now developers could form apps and the company will definitely add them in the iPhones. On the other hand, Windows Phone is always frank with the developers. The developers can effortlessly communicate with the operating system. For instance, developers can make an addition of commands to their apps in the Windows Phone’s speech recognition system. This option is surely not available for the developers in the iPhone.

 

However, this time Apple has designed iOS 8 in a manner to fill the gap between the developers and the company. iOS 8 app developers can create whatever they want to from widgets to predictive keyboards. This is just not the end; Apple has also provided iPhone hardware access to game developer so that they can make faster and improved games. In short, iOS 8 is entirely depends upon the techniques of how developers use it.

Ecosystem:

Companies such as Apple and Microsoft are not designing all these features to generate revenue. They want the customers to enter into the world of their company and spend money on different items.

One of the best methods to attract customers is to make certain that the smartphone they manufacture match with their other items. Apple has an ecosystem of iPhone for several years. People can merely run and enjoy the music which they buy from their stores on their devices. Same is the case with videos

 

Continuity:

The feature of Continuity comes only for the users of iOS 8 and Mac OS X Yosemite. The company stated that they are relatively more concerned about the issues people experienced than the addition of new features.

Therefore, Continuity is released to fill the space that is present between the functionality of your iPhone and your Mac. User can also view the message of iPhone on Mac, but it is essential that users have installed iOS 8 on both the devices. Even user can answer a phone call on the iPhone and then continue to talk on Mac. These are all the advantages of this new feature known as Continuity.

Windows Phone struggle really hard to provide the same kind of functionality on their devices as well. However, Skype is the only app which can support all the devices that runs on Windows operating systems. Microsoft has added app syncing, credential saving and favorites syncing, but still it seems like something is missing in these features. Microsoft is really trying hard to introduce an app that works exactly like continuity but in vain.

 

Spotlight:

The Spotlight is a feature that lets users instantly find a file in their computers. Users can easily look for locations, apps, documents, video, and music through this search facility.

On the flip side, Microsoft has also offered a search feature but it does not work like Spotlight. Cartona is a feature that will permit users to search things in their Phones through a voice command. It offers all the information of your device such as contacts, apps, emails, videos and much more.

Cartona surely give a tough competition to Spotlight since Microsoft has added a voice assistant in it. However, the feature merely required a bit more organization.

 

iCloud Drive:

Apple released iCloud drive in order to replace Drop box. You just need to upload the things there to transfer them to your other devices. Some people consider it as a great rival of Microsoft’s One Drive service,

In general, both the two services are certainly equivalent in terms of performance on the mobile phones. OneDrive act like iCloud Drive when it comes to the syncs of pictures and videos.

 

Final Thought:

Indeed, there are various differences and tricks in Windows Phone 8.1 and iOS 8 but still they are quite same.  If iOS offered HealthKit for the fitness of users than Windows Phone has bing Health & Fitness for the same purpose.

Nonetheless, if you want a one word answer for the comparison of the two operating systems, then iOS 8 is way better than the Windows Phone 8.1. The reason behind this is the well developed Apple stores and apps.

It is pretty evident that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will not release in this month in the US but would arrive in the coming month. Samsung has not announced the official Galaxy Note 4 release date. Samsung has released couple of teaser Note 4 videos and in one of the videos where the South Korean tech giant can be seen mocking the new iPhone 6 Plus clearly indicates the Note 4 will arrive in the coming month.

In the recent past, all the variants of Galaxy Note 4 that have been built for the international audience have been seen clearing FCC and Bluetooth SIG certification.

Even the variants built for all the five major cellular networks have passed FCC and Bluetooth SIG certification. However, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 fans are eagerly waiting for more news from Samsung and partner carriers

The South Korean managed to stay ahead in competition by revealing its flagship phablet on Sept 3 before Apple could reveal its iPhone 6 Plus phablet on Sept 9. Apple announced that the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus release date as Sept 19.

Samsung Galaxy Note US fans have something to rejoice as the South Korean tech giant has revealed the Galaxy Note 4 release date for US audience. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 release date in US is October 17. AT&T and T-Mobile are the first ones to begin the Galaxy Note 4 US pre-orders on Sept 18. So, we can see that Apple and Samsung are building up a fierce battle here.

AT&T Galaxy Note 4 Pre-orders

AT&T has released a press release that the Galaxy Note 4 AT&T pre-orders will begin on Sept 18. Through it, AT&T has suggested the audience to pre-order the new phablet from Sept 19 to Oct 16.

Sprint has not rolled out any press release on when they will be starting with the pre-orders. It is currently suggest the audience to pre-register with them by leaving their email address.

Both Verizon and Sprint are expected to release a press notification very soon since their rivals AT&T and Mobile have already jumped the gun. Also, none of the carriers have disclosed anything about the Galaxy Note Edge phablet.

Galaxy Note 4’s major rival is the iPhone 6 Plus. Both the handsets are going to compete against each other on the global level. Samsung has been mocking the iPhone 6 Plus by stating that the it took Apple there years to come to the phablet segment while Samsung Mobile have been prosperous in that segment since three years.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet of 2014 comes with a quad HD resolution screen of 5.7-inch. It offers a pixel density of 515ppi. It housed with 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 CPU, Adreno 420 graphics, 3GB RAM, 16MP camera with OIS, 3.7MP front-facing camera, S-Pen stylus, 3220mAH battery and more

On the specs front, the Apple iPhone 6 Plus which is the major rival seems slightly inferior to the Note 4. However, it has a huge fan following in the US. We will have to wait couple of days more to see whether the iPhone 6 Plus can give serious competition to the Galaxy Note 4.

Generally, Apple releases a minor update to deal with the problems related to major updates. This time the company followed the same trend and unveils iOS 8.0.1 after a week of release of iOS 8.

Soon after the installation of iOS 8 people begin to cry about the bugs and issues which emerged in their devices. Therefore, users were eagerly anticipating for the release of bug fix update for iOS 8 update. However, it looks like all the happiness of users disappeared in the air when they realized that even the bug fix iOS 8.0.1 update have deteriorated the condition of their devices.

 

Apple offered loads of bug fixes and advancement in iOS 8.0.1. These improvements include fixes for keyboard, photo library, unpredicted cellular data usage and much more. On the whole, it appears that the update is merely launched for the troubles that users faced on the release day.

Nevertheless, this small update gave birth to a more serious issue since several users are complaining that they cannot connect their iPhone 6 to the cellular data any more. Moreover, the Touch fingerprint sensor has stopped functioning on their phone after the installation of iOS 8.0.1 update.

The majority of the owners of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus who reported this complains are customers of Verizon and AT&T.

Users who came in contact with this problem noticed that a SEARCHING appeared on the left side of the screen in the status bar. It is the place where we usually see the cell signals and this SEARCHING shows that the users are unable to make any call or send message in that specific region.

 

The device displays SEARCH for  the signals even if the user is situated in the well covered cellular region.

It is the chief reason why Apple has immediately removed the update from all of its servers. Presently, the company is trying to figure out the solution of this problem.  It was certainly expected, as this bug fixer update made users’ device completely useless. Nonetheless,  there is still a way out for the people who downloaded this update and desperately want to get rid of it.

You can easily make calls and send text even if there is not a single signal appears on your cell. You only need a Wi-Fi connection for this purpose. Through Wi-Fi you can effortlessly download an app which will allow you to make audio calls. You can select from various apps  that are available on the internet such as FaceTime Audio, Google Hangouts or even Skype.

Furthermore, if you are really annoyed with iOS 8.0.1 you can simply uninstall it.  You merely have to reinstall the iOS 8 files and reinstate your iPhone with the help of the option of install file iTune.  Do not forget to turn off the app of Find My Phone before following this procedure.

Earlier, Apple has never permitted the users to downgrade the last version of iOS 8 update. However, in these circumstances the company absolutely understands the problems and let users get back to the previous version of iOS.

The absence of iOS 8 Camera Roll compels users to think that this new update deleted all their memorable pictures. No need to worry about those pictures, they are still in your iPhone in a new and a lot secure place.

This time Apple removed the folder of Camera Roll from the new version of iOS 8. It indicates that now users are required to look for the photos on any other place. iOS 8 would really give you a headache to search for your old pictures through the Facebook app.

Previously, Apple placed all your iPhone photos in a folder named Camera Roll. In iOS 8 the company modified the feature and instead of Camera Roll called it Recently Added. Unfortunately, this new folder will only hold the pictures captured in last 30 days.

Apple introduced a new version of iOS 8 which provide access to all of your photos.  However, you would have to change your habits of uploading picture in order to use that option. Now, you cannot locate your old photos while uploading them in any apps such as Facebook, Dropbox etc

The app that Apple exchanged with the Camera Roll is present in the Photo App, on the Photos Tab. The app is known as Collections

The Collection will arrange your photos according to the date and location.  Collection runs in the similar way as the camera roll, you can effortlessly scroll down through them. The mere difference is in the name and categorization of the folder. The Collection will allow you to look for your photo with the help of location and date.

Sadly, in iOS 8 you cannot enter into Collection while using other apps like Instragram, Facebook, Twitter and Dropbox.

The majority of the users freaked out when they could not find the photos and complained about this problem on the Apple Store Form.

People searched a lot for a technique through which they can select Collection from inside the Facebook and Dropbox apps but in vain. You can easily choose from other albums as well, but it will only show the pictures of last 30 days.

The only method is to search in Collection for the photos which you wish to share and then share it on Facebook. However, there is another way for uploading old pictures that are not in the Collection. For this purpose you have to look for the photo, tap on Select, tap on your photos and then on Add to the albums.

 

If you frequently do this then it would be convenient to create a new album, particularly for uploading the pictures on Facebook, Dropbox and other apps.

Obviously, you would not be able to add them in Recently added, but you can include it in the album that is reachable from Facebook and Dropbox.

It is quite easier to search other albums in Drop box, but there is no such option in Facebook. If you are using Facebook tab on the Camera Roll at the top and then on the album you wish to choose from.

Many people would not consider it an appropriate solution but this is the only way out of this problem.

The iPhone 6 has been the most awaited smartphone of the year. Though Samsung has been trying its best to defeat the iPhone brand in the US, the popularity of the iPhone models has been always exceptional in the US.

Apple has always been manufacturing iPhones that featured smaller displays. Apple always claimed that small-sized handsets are quite pocket-friendly but now since most of the Android counterpart brands are sporting larger displays, finally even the new iPhone 6 models are sporting larger displays.

 

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus sport larger displays of 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch, respectively. By this, these handsets become the largest iPhones ever. Though other brands like HTC, Motorola and Sony have produced powerful smartphones in the recent past. The iPhone models are always compared with the handsets from the South Korean tech giant, Samsung.

Apple had launched the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus along with the Apple Watch on Sept 9 by holding a media event at the Flint Center at Cupertino, CA. The very first day when Apple had begun the iPhone 6 pre-orders, Apple servers went down for couple of hours and then Apple announced that a record-breaking number of more than 4 million units of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus handsets were pre-ordered.

The iPhone 6 which sports a 4.7-inch display screen is the successor model of 2013’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The stocks of the iPhone 6 Plus are quite less as reported by multiple tech site sources. So, it is quite evident that the iPhone 6 will be competing against the Note 4 in the coming weeks.

Galaxy Note 4 is the fourth Note series phablet iteration from Samsung. Since 2011, Samsung has been launching Note phablet handsets every year. It is the first handset that comes out a hybrid of a smartphone and a tablet featuring a word-class stylus called the S-Pen.

 

The Galaxy Note 4 was announced alongside its new variant, the Galaxy Note Edge. Before both the handsets were unveiled at the Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event during the IFA event week, the rumor mill reported a lot about the Galaxy Note 4 it failed to reveal Samsung was going to launch two phablet models. Samsung managed to keep the Note Edge under the wraps pretty well.

Though Samsung had revealed several forthcoming products like the Note Edge, Gear VR virtual reality headset and the Samsung Gear S smartwatch, the major talk of the show was the Galaxy Note 3 successor, the Note 4 and the Note Edge which sports a curved display on its right edge.

Samsung has not revealed when the Note Edge would be available for purchase but the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 release date is October 17 as revealed by Samsung and its carrier partners. Samsung currently does not want to talk about the Note Edge which shows that it would be arriving probably by the end of the year in the US and early by next year in other countries.

iPhone 6 Release Date

The iPhone 6 release date of September 19 has already passed and many consumers who did not delay even a second to book it when the iPhone 6 pre-orders began on September 12 have already received their handsets. Since the stock of the iPhone 6 Plus handsets are less, consumers are not able to find it easily at the Apple Stores and through its carrier partners.

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Release Date

Galaxy Note Edge Release Date in US and UK

The Galaxy Note Edge release date for US has not been announced officially. A Galaxy Note Edge model has been known to clear the FCC filings earlier in September. Yet another variant of Galaxy Note Edge was spotted passing Bluetooth certifications. This device has a model number of SM-N915G. When a device passes FCC and Bluetooth certifications, it is imminent that the device is going to release soon.

Note 4 models have also known to clear these filings and it is scheduled to hit the market in October. However, there has been no official announcement on the Galaxy Note Edge release date in the US.

Interestingly, the scenario is slightly different in the UK. One of the popular retailers in the UK named Clove has listed the Galaxy Note Edge with a price tag of £650 including VAT. Clove is scheduled to sell the Galaxy Note 4 in the week starting from October 13 with a price point of £575 including VAT.

 

Clove has stated that the Galaxy Note Edge stocks have not arrived and it claims that the handset is not expected to launch alongside the Note 4. The Note Edge will not be available in any of the countries of Europe except Germany. The retailer plans to purchase the Galaxy Note Edge from German retailers and resell it in the UK. Other UK retailers like Carphone Warehouse, Expansys and Handtec are also planning to sell the Note Edge and have asked interested customers to register their email addresses with them.

In Germany, the Galaxy Note Edge can be pre-ordered from Germany with a price tag of €1000. Another retailer from Germany, Notebooksbilliger has also priced the Galaxy Note Edge with the same price.

There are speculations that the Galaxy Note Edge will not be mass produced like the Note 4. Rumors have it that Samsung has plans to produce 11 million Samsung Galaxy Note 4 units. However, the same rumor reveals that the South Korean tech giant aims to ship only one million Galaxy Note Edge units.

Analysts feel that it may be a good decision by the South Korean tech giant to manufacture only one million Note Edge units. Since the Galaxy Note Edge is rumored to arrive late to the market, by the time it arrives most of the customers have purchased the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Motorola Moto X. So, one million units of Note Edge would be enough to meet the requirements of the remaining buyers.

Samsung is organizing an exhibition in Japan for eager Note Edge buyers to get a hands-on experience of the handset on Sept 18. Visitors will also get chance to try the all new Samsung Gear S smartwatch.
