AnonD-19294, 13 Oct 2015Yes but for many,even a 20 thousand phone is same as samsun... moreIf all you need is a phone for simple tasks then thast what a moto g, moto x play or moto x pure do, well the moto x pure is a flagship, in any case the iphone is the status phone because you are not getting top of the line tech but an average phone at an inflated price,

at least for me, the reason I pay "premium" prices $400 or more is features, like water resistance, front facing speakers, good camera, lasting battery, nice display, quick charging, design ETC, and all those IN ONE phone.

the iphone excels at just 2 things now, performance and camera, thats pretty much it, it used to be good looking but now it has one of the worst screen to body ratio, and its ugly, the 5s was elegant now the 6(s) is just horrible.

    Samsung itself involved in developing the 3D touch...

    Apple didnt acknolwedge it, who is worry about competitor now?
    Apple use Samsung made A9 Proessor, also Apple dont acknowledge it.
    Apple use Amoled for SmartWatch, why dont apple talk about it?

                        Pop-up menu is done by long press, "Peek and pop" is done by hovering over the screen on Sony and Samsung's phones (which everyone thought was a gimmick). 3D Touch still haven't brought anything useful that is new so far... Only just one more level of user interface that the user needs to learn. Oh god, I can just picture my grandma trying to do anything with 3D Touch. She extra hard presses everything.

                          I don't think Apple copied the force touch from huwawei..

                          Read:Apple credits Lawrence Baskett as the sole inventor of granted patent 9,128,540 which was filed in Q2 2013. The original work goes back to 2009.

                            If you distinguish between that and Apple's version because it works differently, then you should also distinguish between Apple's version and this version.

When it comes to doing more than 'a few things' android comes out on top in terms of convenience and functionality.

                                I have replaced the battery twice in my samsung S3 and once in my S5 since I bought them new. They only last an average of 2 years. Bring back replaceable batteries, otherwise it will be very costly investment.

                                  Its a lot Stronger Glass offered by Samsung plus the Micro Sd Card Slot Back,Samsung can not have tested the Glass used on the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge,everyday on the internet you see someone offering there Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge for Sale with Broken Glass,Glass might look nice but its a Fingerprint Magnet and Breaks so Easy,Turtle Glass we hope is a lot Stronger,as consumer do not want to waste so much money on a phone that Breaks so Easily
