iPhone 6S & 6S plus : Review

iPhone 6S & 6S plus : Review 

          

              The ' S ' have always had a reputation of just a minor upgrade or a just refreshed release of the original iPhone. The 'S' awaits in the confusion of , that  you to wait for a year or just stay with old.But that trend has changed from quite a while when Apple introduced TouchId to the S series and now this year we have 3D touch , another interesting technology from Apple.We'll that's not all of the added feature in the new iPhone and the question arises , will it be a good upgrade ?

HARDWARE :

           No, your eyes don't deceive you: The 6S and 6S Plus look nearly identical to last year's models, save for a new rose gold color option that oscillates between "vaguely lavender" and "shiny new penny" depending on the light. The sleek, rounded aesthetic might not raise as many eyebrows as it did last year, but it's still one of my favorite iPhone designs. Aside from the pink color option, the other changes aren't particularly noticeable. Both phones are now made from 7000-series aluminum, an alloy used in the aerospace industry that, when compared to last year's phones, makes for a sturdier but similarly lightweight design. The regulatory icons that used to live on the iPhone's back have been removed too, leaving a  "S" logo to let the world know you've upgraded.

           As ever, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor lives in the iPhone's home button, but this year's module is a clear improvement: Apple claims it can pick up your fingerprints up to twice as fast as before. I can't make out exactly what the speed multiple is here, but Touch ID really is blazing fast now, and I can't remember the last time it didn't work on the first try, either.As for the weight, the 6S and 6S Plus do indeed feel noticeably weightier: The 6S weighs in at 143 grams, up from 129, while the bigger 6S Plus now comes in at 192 grams, up from 172.

DISPLAY :

           At first glance, you probably wouldn't notice anything different about the IPS screens on the 6S and 6S Plus. After all, they're the same size as before (4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively) with the same pixel density (326 ppi, or 401 ppi on the Plus). The eagle-eyed among you might catch that both screens are a touch brighter with slightly better color reproduction.So it has a got a new Touch 3D feature let's talk about it.

          By placing a grid of sensors behind the screen, Apple’s engineers allowed the new iPhone's to sense pressure, enabling a z-axis of gestural input. Put another way, you can right-click now. That’s pretty cool! It’s currently limited to native apps and a few third-party selects, so it’s hard to judge how this will play out. You can’t hate on the effort put into this feature, but nothing that currently uses it really improves the user experience dramatically. Someday it might be a level of interaction you can’t live without.

CAMERA :

           For most of us, this is the most important feature of every new iPhone—and phone, period. Each year since launching the iPhone 4, Apple has thoroughly owned all comers. Sure, the occasional Nokia offered optical image stabilization, but the iPhone has always rendered the most natural color, offered great low-light performance, and captured finer detail than its seemingly under powered camera should deliver.

       

          The 6S is no exception. It has a great rear-facing camera: 12 megapixels (up from eight on the iPhone 6), with a protective sapphire crystal lens and super-fast image capturing. It is not, however, the best camera out there. The Moto X and Samsung Galaxy S6 offer more detail. But this makes absolutely no difference until you start zooming in. Aim the camera at what you want to photograph, and you should be fine.Its front-facing camera, however, is The New Boss. At 5 megapixels, and paired with a cool trick that flashes the screen to lighten dark scenes, the 6S will encourage countless degenerates to ruin the ambiance of your favorite romantic location with an extended arm and a pinkish pop

PERFORMANCE :

            A new kind of touchscreen and some upgraded cameras are one thing, but what about the silicon running under the hood? This year, we've got a new 64-bit A9 chip-set thrumming away inside both the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, which, according to some bench-marking tools, appear to be made up of dual 1.8GHz Typhoon CPU cores, the GPU and the updated M9 co-processor. Apple never comments publicly about how much RAM its phones have, but recent tear downs show that the new iPhone's have 2GB, just like the most recent iPad Air and Mini. All together, that's the biggest performance increase from one generation to another that we've seen in a while, and it shows.

WRAP UP :

         It's easy to say that these are the best iPhone's Apple has ever made, but that's true every year. Like I said before, a device's worth isn't tied directly to a single feature: The important thing is how all of its components and design flourishes and features and interaction elements fit together as a unified whole. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus nail it -- mostly. They're great phones: well-built, well thought-out and brimming with potential. So, let's cap this off with a little buying advice. If you have an iPhone 5S and are itching to turn it in, now's the time. If you're an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus owner, this is a worthy upgrade, but no one will fault you for waiting another year.That's why the new 6S and 6S Plus (starting at $649 and $749, respectively, for 16GB models)

NEXUS 6P & 5X

              Since their launch in 2010, Google has unveiled two Nexus smartphones at the same time, one featuring a 5.2-inch display and the other sporting a 5.7-inch screen. At an event in San Francisco, Google announced that it has partnered with Huawei and LG to make the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P smartphones, respectively. These both devices are successors to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 and will continue the Android Marshmallow trend as it starts building up.

           The  Nexus 6P has a 5.7-inch AMOLED display with QHD (1440x2560p) resolution and comes with the integrated Nexus Imprint fingerprint sensor on the back. The smartphone is reportedly powered by Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM and comes in three storage variants: 32, 64 and 128GB; there is no support for storage expansion.

          Camera wise the Nexus 6P has a 12.3MP rear shooter with a Sony sensor that's optimized for indoor photography. Round the front is an 6MP camera with HDR+ for those awesome selfies. You'll be able to take 240fps slow motion video, and the pixels on the sensor its said are 4x the size of those on last year's Nexus 6.On the front is an 8MP camera, the highest resolution for selfie camera for a Nexus smartphone yet. The smartphone features an all-metal, 7.33mm thick body in white, grey and aluminium finishes, packs a 3,450mAh battery, and comes with front-facing stereo speakers.

         On the other hand , Nexus 5X has a 5.2-inch screen with relatively lower Full HD (1080x1920p) resolution and runs on the 64-bit Snapdragon 808 processor with 2GB RAM. The storage capacities of the smartphone are 16GB and 32GB, with no microSD card support.

         The 12.3MP camera of Nexus 5X also has a 1.55micron sensor and is backed by a laser autofocus for faster capturing; it can shoot videos in high-resolution 4K videos as well 120fps videos. Google said the smartphone will come with a Smart Burst feature that captures shots at 30fps. Available in black, white and blue colours, the smartphone has a 2,700mAh battery.

         The new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P smartphones will have an integrated Android Sensor Hub that Google said will track "sensor fusion, activity recognition, gesture recognition, movements and low power times." Both smartphones sport the reversible Type C USB and supports fast-charging; the Nexus 6P charges twice as fast as iPhone 6S Plus.Android Marshmallow will be preloaded on both Nexus models.


          Both devices will be available for pre-order , with the Nexus 5X starting at $379 and the Nexus 6P at $499. Both devices look the perfect successor the previous Nexus smartphones and may be a good competition to the Apple's 6S and 6S Plus.
