The z2 drastically improved...then came the much improved z3. Learn real world facts before making fan person claims.

Does it mean the 8MP camera of IPhone 6 Plus is superior to 41 MP camera of Nokia Lumia 1020? GSMARENA considered Lumia 1020 & PureView 808 as gold standards as far as still photograghy is concerned amongst Cameraphones. Why is it IPhone 6 Plus always compared to Lumia 1520 and not Lumia 1020 or PureView 808 as far as smartphone cameras are concerned?

See the number of terms used for an LCD (x-reality, triluminous, etc.) where in fact it has worse viewing angle and poor sunlight legibility. All gimmick..

Anonymous, 03 Oct 2014You mean like Iphones upscaled imagery in the gpu test?
Yo... moreTalking about optimization, how can you say android is optimized in the fact that superlative number of cores and clockspeed cant even run as smooth as modest looking A8?
Yes, its is newer thats why it leads and why you say its behind? Again, benchmark tells. And why are you forcing apple to use overflowering specs when even just a matter of dual core and lower clock speed, they can make their device to be a beast?
Yeah they use just 1GB of RAM for a 64bit cpu, didnt you ask yourself why despite limited no. of RAM capacity is more than enough? Yet you call iOS poorly coded? Why it leads in number of apps in app store? Why it is developers' priority in app and game development? Why iOS game and app versions comes always first at release? - ohh, I forgot android devices are suffering of high fragmentation thats why its developers headache in optimizing app.
Yes, it could be limiting but it apple way and is not laggy and buggy. Let me ask, at what android version galaxy s5, one m8, g3, note 3 is stucked? Where is the software update? I also forgot android OEM just cuts support for predecessor devices earliest.. Even for last year's flagship, they already say its not eligible for latest software version which easily outdates android device.

Compared to the Z3, the iphone 6 lacks behind in contrast. Z3 uses triluminos, x-reality, and live colors led to compensate for its regular ips-lcd. Btw, JDI supply the IPS-Neo display to the Iphone 6 plus. If Sony uses IPS-Neo panel, then it would have the best of the best display for an lcd.

AnonD-281307, 02 Oct 2014Larger iPhone not the phone Apple wanted to make. Overall ... moredidn't the iphone6+ recently got the best lcd display ever and the best photo quality recently? What are you smoking. there are pros' and cons. iphone6+ will probably last much longer then note 4.

AnonD-314503, 03 Oct 2014Yes, lets face it, the between android flagships and iPhone... moreYou mean like Iphones upscaled imagery in the gpu test?
You are obviously just reaching for bias misleading things to try and make a non factual post to support your fan ideas.
Specs are just as important as the software that drives them.
Android flagships are well optimized too. Better in fact so that argument is mute.
Well optimized software on decent hardware is ok.
Well optimized software on strong hardware is better.
The iPhone takes small leads by being newer with a slightly stronger and newer graphics chip. That's what helps it score higher. The cpu itself is behind.
The cores are strong cores but they are limited and help back. 1.3 and 1.4ghz cyclone or not is being limited...they could have easily made it 1.7-2ghz and there would be a noticeable difference that would actually make it on part or stronger than a lot of Android flagships.
But not only is the core and clock limited. They use 1gb of ram to support 64bit. You might think it runs ok and stable. But in all actuality if it had the proper 4gb it would run world's better even on the poor coding of ios.
Even 2gb would be a large gain for it. Probably save a ton of crashes too.
And on top of that the buggy coding that adds more lags and freezes that is ios currently and makes the system heavier....plus ios continually be the world leader in app crashes.....
And sticking only 1gb of ram??? It's severely held back and purposefully sabotaged. All so apple can make another penny off you and force everyone to update their phone.
In the end a strong gpu and system wide restriction gives it decent scores on paper.
But limiting software and leaving it laggy and buggy while letting it also have the most smartphone app crashes and using 90% outdated hardware...is not optimizing, hard work, or justify the price. And definitely does not provide better overall real world usage.
It's laziness and scams.

[deleted post]Yes, lets face it, the between android flagships and iPhone, android has higher specced of the two smartphones, however specs do not directly translate into performance. Look at the benchmark. But androids are known for benchmark cheats..oopps..

[deleted post]LOL, the thing is you just cant accept the "just decent specs" beats overflowering specs or androids:core count, clock speed, ram, etc. which seems modest but actually a beast..

One has to respect Apple for having their own way.
Everbody else use Android, which Google makes, only Apple has unique OS.
Everbody else use quad or octa cores and 2 or 3 GB RAM, only Apple uses dual core and 1 GB RAM
Everbody else are in megapixel,race, but not Apple. 8 mpx is enough, and camera is superb, better that 20 mpx units
Most of commpetition offer sd cards, removable back, battery etc, but not Apple. They say "use iTunes and leave picking on hardware to us"
One has to respect uniqe way Apple has gone

As I see it:
Great design and premium materials
Excellent camera, maybe the best
Great battery life
Excellent screen
No1 in performance tests overall
Cons:
Bezels could be smaller
Front camera could get a bit more mpx
Stereo speakers would be nice touch
Exposed camera lenses don' look good

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2014The specs are just as important as the the software driving... moreYes, specs may just seemed decent like mere dual core 1.4GHz (but why it outperformed other 2.5GHz quadcore? You can see it in the benchmark), just 1GB or RAM (but why it handled multitasking as 3GB RAM), just 8MP (but why it performs quality wise as other 20MP fones?) and despite all the issues ang mockery, why it still flooded with record breaking number of buyers? My friend, no matter what you say, its is still Apple, its has the badge that nobody has. Yes, specs looks underwhelming but apple made the best out of it to match specs-flowering competitors.. Its like comparing ferrari with Aston, yes, Aston has cars that outperforms ferrari but Aston dosnt have the badge and prestige of ferrari..
