What's good people....
So yesterday my brother wanted to feel how the iPhone is since he has never used one so we made a deal to swap each other's phone ( iPhone 6plus and Samsung Galaxy s6 edge) for a day and see how each ecosystems holds up.
So my first impressions were , interesting design. I kinda liked the feel and materials they used.... Reminded me a lot of the iPhone 4 with glass front and back. ... Samsung did a good job there, upgrading from plastic, some may disagree but I think it was a bold move.
Looking closer at the device and the edges, I noticed the bend is pretty noticeable and appealing, I played with the the feature that lets the edges of the phone light up depending on the contact you assign and which colour, pretty neat feature.
The guerrilla glass Samsung used in the edge is proven to take heavy damage without braking so that's one tick in my books as well.
So the design is cool, what else did I like about the phone? The camera was good, very saturated and made colours look brighter and fictional in a sense. Did I like that? Not really, I'm used to real colours that the eye may see like how the iPhone 6plus displays the photos......
The screen and display is hands down amazing wow..... That's the first thing that I noticed and was kind of jealous lol.
The 1080p screen on my 6plus is beautiful , but the screen on that phone is crazy.... Very vibrant, crisp and super duper sharp. A big plus in my books.....
So enough about aesthetics, the new touch wiz I used for a day was still lacking stability and the experience with the software was a headache. I found it difficult to find certain menus where in iOS everything is just there and works seamlessly....
The battery life was atrocious, we swapped phones at appropriately 10am with 100% charged on both, by 3pm the phone was on 17% with light use, just Facebook, Instagram and a few calls testing out the speaker quality etc.
I noticed the app quality compared to iOS isn't close, especially gaming.... A few stutters there and then but it wasn't that bad.
This morning where I saw my brother I informed him is the only device I'm truly content with regardless of specs, features and crazy design aesthetics.
It just works right. I kinda missed my phone by the end of the day lol.....
Using the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge made me realise although it may have great features and a few innovative gestures and technologies like fast charge etc, there is just something missing... I call it iOS ..... Simplicity that's refined so well it's enjoyable.
His response from using my 6plus for a day was generally surprising.... He actually liked it.... He has always been against but appreciated the refinements and simplicity the 6plus had.
He also applauded the battery life he experienced, when I picked it up it was on 36% with heavy usage .
I had to charge his galaxy s6 edge twice........
Anyhow, just thought I should share my story....
