Apple iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Best iOS vs Best Android Phone Comparison

September 24, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4Release Date for US and UK

The Samsung Galaxy Note release date has not been announced officially. However, rumours indicate the Galaxy Note will probably hit the stands in the coming month. The new commercial too confirms this fact. At the end of the commercial, one can see the ‘The Next Big Thing is Here. October 2014’.

In the recent past, the Galaxy Note 4 was reported to pass the FCC clearance and Bluetooth filings for the units that will be introduced in US as well as all over the world. According to the retailers in Netherlands, the Galaxy Note 4 is expected to hit the shelves by October 10. And for US, the rumored Galaxy Note 4 release date is October 3.

 

There is no rumour about pre-orders for Galaxy Note 4. So, the Note 4 is probably made going to be made available at the market. The most probable reason why Apple offers pre-orders is that this can help them in preparing stocks that deplete quite quickly. Samsung has never faced such an issue. In fact, speculation has it that the South Korean giant will be shipping around 11 million Galaxy Note 4 handsets

Yet another rumour revealed that Sprint’s Galaxy Note 4 with a model number of SM-N910P has cleared FCC filings. Like other wireless carriers of the US, Sprint is also tightlipped about the Galaxy Note 4 release date. As far as UK markets are concerned, we do not have any concrete information on the Galaxy Note 4 UK release date.

Here are the 10 best features of the Galaxy Note 4:

Intuitive S-Pen

The S-Pen has become smarter and user-friendlier than ever before. Making a note using the S-Pen stylus is just like using a pen to write on a paper. Samsung has improved its sensitivity and it allows the user to write quickly and also in different angles.

 

Amazing Multi-Window Mode

The Multi-Window mode which is an exclusive feature of Galaxy Note 4 has been revamped. It conveniently allows the user to run two apps simultaneously by dividing the screen. Users can pop out the window and move it anywhere on the screen. Users can also minimize a running app into a small icon and use any other app in full screen.

Health Sensors For Staying Fit

Battery That Can Really Last Longer

The 3220mAh battery is equipped with faster charging technology. This feature allows users to charge half the capacity of the Note 4 in just 30 minutes. Moreover, the ultra power saving mode will darken the display screen and close apps that consume lot of battery. And it will enhance the battery to churn out a day’s power helping you to easily make phone calls, browse on the web and send text messages.

September 24, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

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.

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.

iPhone 6 VS HTC One M8: Which One Is The Best Choice For Buyer?

September 24, 2014 By Deborah Campbell 1 Comment

Finally, Apple launched the most awaited device of 2014 iPhone 6. The phone has already touched the shelves of the markets and available for the customers. Users have begun to evaluate all the features and options available on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

On the other hand, HTC flaunted HTC One M8 which is the best Smartphone of the year in March. Shortly after its release Apple launched the biggest rival of HTC one M8 that is iPhone 6. Unquestionably, there is a wide range of smartphones available in the market, which makes decisions a lot more difficult task. We have mentioned some key features of iPhone 6 and HTC One M8 below for the convenience of potential buyers.

The sales of iPhone 6 marked it as the most successful device in the history of Apple. The product relatively has few really big modifications as compared to the previously launched iPhones. The two devices iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has a really sleek and unique design.

On the other hand, HTC One M8 is a device that is all covered with an aluminum frame.

Buyers will see several options when they visit the market in order to purchase a new Smartphone. The phones that will instantly get the attention of customers would be iPhone 6 and HTC One M8.

 

Truthfully, no one can make a decision on your behalf. Moreover, the needs, preferences and budgets vary from one buyer to another. We can merely fill you up with some significant information to make the decision a bit easier.

Design:

The most surprising thing is that both iPhone 6 and HTC oneM8 has a remarkable metal design. Hence, customers have to think a lot for choosing any one of them. Keep in mind that iPhone 6 is going out of stock so it is better to make a quick decision. Nevertheless, we will give a brief information related to the design of the two phones.

HTC has enhanced some main areas of the smartphone, but the overall design is pretty similar to the last model. The HTC One M8 comes with a unibody aluminum frame along with some plastic pieces near the back of the radios.

Whereas, iPhone 6 has a more rounded edges, unlike all the previous versions of iPhones. However, the most noteworthy thing is that these round edges are certainly different from other iPhones, but quite similar to the HTC One M8. Undoubtedly, the device is easier to hold, but it is also very slippery and can get damaged without the case.

The back of iPhone 6 is all wrapped with aluminum design. Moreover, these back cuts are packed with plastic for the radios and antennas. It is considered as the second largest iPhone that comes with a sleek design.

 

Apple and HTC are the companies that manufacture relatively better hardware as compared to LG and Samsung. Therefore, buyers can blindly trust them for the built and design of smartphones.

The front speaker of the HTC One M8 is the only thing which makes it different from iPhone 6. As far as the speaker of iPhone 6 is concerned, they have definitely great sound, but still it cannot beat the speakers of HTC One M8.

Display:

The display is the foremost thing that a buyer looks in a Smartphone. Although iPhone 6 contains a 4.7 inch screen, but HTC One M8also has a large display. However, the large display of HTC One M8 has not increased the size of the Smartphone.

Earlier, Apple used to criticize on Samsung for such big devices. At last, the company breaks the tradition due to the high demand of customers and manufactured iPhone 6 with a 5.5 inch display screen. It is positively a very sensible decision of Apple since iPhone 6 generated a large revenue up till now.

 

The other key factor is the screen size and resolution of iPhone 6 and HTC One M8. The iPhone 6 has a display of 4.7 inch 1334 x 750 (720p) HD whereas HTC One M8 comes with a 5 inch screen. Consequently, HTC One M8 will provide better pictures, videos and visual as compared to the iPhone 6.

Specs:

It is really unwise to compare the spec of iPhone 6 with HTC One M8 as one is Android and the second is iOS. Therefore, we would not get into the argument of dual core and quad core. Following is a comprehensive discussion about the specs and size of the two products. Though one device is larger than the other, but still the sizes are quite similar.

HTC One M8 Specs:

  1. 5-inch 1920 x 1080p HD display
  2. 2.3 GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 801 with 2GB RAM
  3. 32GB internal storage (Micro-SD expansion support)
  4. 4 Ultrapixel camera (new second Duo Camera) and 5MP front, dual flash
  5. Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Sense 6
  6. Front facing speakers, infrared port for remote
  7. Brushed aluminum design
  8. 2,600 mAh battery
  9. 146.4 x 70.6 x 9.4 mm and 160 grams

 

iPhone 6 Specs:

  1. 4.7-inch 1334 x 750 HD IPS Retina Display
  2. 1.4 GHz Dual-core Apple A8 processor with 1GB of RAM
  3. 16/64/128GB storage, no micro-SD
  4. 8 Megapixel rear and 1.2 front facing cameras
  5. Meal design all around
  6. Apple iOS 8
  7. Fingerprint scanner with TouchID
  8. 1,810 mAh battery
  9. 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm and 129 grams

Undoubtedly, it seems like HTC has specially designed HTC One M8 to compete with Phones like iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S5. There is only the difference of a few mm in the height of iPhone 6 and HTC One M8.  However, the device has fairly some additional width and weight.

Potential buyers must look at the option of storage of HTC One M8 and iPhone 6. The chief reason behind this warning is that Apple never provides a slot for a micro SD card, whereas HTC has offered the option of expandable storage in the device. The micro SD card will definitely come at a lost cost than the extra storage iPhone 6. Although you can effortlessly get hold of 16, 64, 128 GB of iPhone 6 but in HTC One M8 you have countless storage options.

  2. iPhone 6 64GB – $749
  3. iPhone 6 128GB – $849
  4. HTC One M8 32GB – $599

The HTC One M8 provides additional storage at a reasonable on contract price. However, if you even purchase a 64 GB micro-SD card for it, it would be still cheaper than 128 GB iPhone 6. It is recommended that all the budget conscious people should opt for HTC One M8.

 

Camera:

Generally, the camera of Apple product offers excellent result. Same is the case with iPhone 6, it has a 8 megapixel camera, but the company has improved it to give better result of images and videos.

On the other hand, HTC One M8 contains a dual 4 megapixel cameras that are present on the back of the device. Some people will go for the iPhone due to the less megapixel camera of HTC One M8.

 

However, the camera of HTC One M8 is incredibly fast, accurate and performs pretty well. Moreover, the company has added two sensors that promise good images and videos.

The has a remarkable camera, therefore all the camera lovers should go for iPhone 6. However, it is suggested to check the camera of both the devices in the stores.

Apple tried to beat HTC One M8 with its True Tone flash and 240 FPS slow-motion video capture. Nevertheless, HTC gave a tough competition to the camera of iPhone 6 with the option of record 4K video along with some new editing choices.

Conclusion:

It is completely foolish to judge iOS against Android as there is a lot of fan following of both of them. The buyer should focus on the price, carrier, availability, requirements and needs. Eventually, buyer has to use the phone according to his needs.

Nexus 6, Nexus 9 Release Date Speculations Increases as Future of Google Android Silver Goes Kaput

September 21, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Speculations on Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 release date are increasing day by day and at the same time rumors have it that the Google has put the Android Silver program on hold and its future is uncertain.

Usually, Google used to roll out Nexus devices that featured stock version of Android. In April, reports started doing rounds that search engine giant was working on something new called Android Silver program which would replace the Nexus line of products. The Android Silver was expected to feature premium smartphones that was expected to arrive at the beginning of 2015.

Android Silver’s Future Uncertain

Rumors of Android Silver became strong when reports about Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 7 being shelved started doing rounds. Sadly, Google never confirmed anything about the Android Silver program and there is no news whether Google will really work on such a program.

 

After the arrival of announcement of smartphones like the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Google is now rumored to be working on the launch of two Nexus products which clearly indicates that Google is not working on Android Silver. Vice-versa, since the Google Android Silver seems to be on hold or dead, new Nexus products are expected to release this year like it used to in the previous years.

Nexus 6 Smartphone and Nexus 9 Tablet Rumors Getting Stronger

Rumors about Google working two new Nexus products have grown steadily in the past months. Google is supposedly working on a Nexus smartphone as well as on a Nexus tablet.

 

Google Nexus 6 Smartphone

As far as the new Nexus smartphone is concerned, rumors are referring to the handset as Google Nexus 6. It is heavily speculated that the next Nexus handset will be a Motorola product and will not be manufactured by LG. The South Korean tech giant had manufactured the last two Nexus smartphones.

 

It is expected to feature a 5.2-inch quad HD screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. It is speculated to come housed with Android 4.5 or 5.0 L OS. It may be powered with a Snapdragon 801 processor which will offer a processing speed of 2.5GHz and 3GB RAM. The internal storage capacity of this Motorola Nexus 6 smartphone is going to be 32GB.

The Nexus 6 smartphone will feature an enhanced camera. It will also feature front facing speakers which Motorola has been offering on its recent handsets like the Moto X 2014 and Moto G 2014.

Google Nexus 9 Tablet

The Nexus tablet that is reportedly under the wraps with Google is speculated to be an 8.9-inch tablet. Google has launched two Google Nexus 7 tablets in the past. New rumors indicate that the next Nexus tablet will be an 8.9-inch product which may be rolled to the market as Nexus 8 or Nexus 9.

Instead of producing a Asus tablet like Google did for past two years, rumors point to the fact that the next Nexus tablet will be an HTC product. Google is also partnering with Nvidia for this upcoming tablet.

Nvidia is the company that has manufactured the processors that are present in the original Google Nexus 7 and Google Nexus 7 2013 edition. Through one of the legal documents of Nvidia, it was revealed that their new iteration of quad-core Tegra K1 built for mobile devices will power up the HTC Nexus 9 tablet which was supposed to arrive in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Since the HTC Nexus 9 tablet has not arrived till now, heavy rumors indicate that the new tablet would be aimed for the upcoming holiday season release. According to the rumors, the HTC Nexus 9 will adorn an aluminum body.

The 8.9-inch display of HTC Nexus 9 would support a display resolution of 2048 x 1440 pixels. It may feature speakers on the front side of the device along with 5MP camera. At the rear, it may sport an 8MP camera.

The HTC Nexus 9 tablet will be powered with the upcoming Android 4.5 or 5.0 OS which is speculated to get unraveled within this year. In the recent past, Android L rumors have become stronger as major Google apps are in the process of getting updated to sport the new design features.

The Android L release date has not been revealed officially by Google. Also, Google is still mum on Motorola Nexus 6 smartphone and 8.9-inch HTC Nexus 9 tablet. More details are expected to roll out in the coming days.
