Anyone else considered giving up their iPhone for the new Galaxy S6?

[I7guy]

iPhone prices recently jumped to an insane level in Europe because of the dollar going up. My iPhone 6 is bought on release day, but it is way more expensive now 6 months later. S6 costs less here and I could see people shift. But everyone use iPhone where I live.

After trying the S6, I do not understand why I dont just sell my iPhone 6. I am annoyingly tied to the ecosystem because of family. I use Google services everywhere I can, because I do not trust Apples code abilities and stability in cloud drive. Also it is too looked down. But the Apple TV mirroring, iMessage, Keychain, photostream with family, FaceTime and so on makes it hard to shift.

S6 makes my iPhone 6 look 5 years behind. Have never seen anything like the camera and video quality, screen quality, speed and so on. Now Apple will make a boring 6s version with 2 gb ram and plain boring incremental updates. The competition jumps way bigger and evolve quicker. Might keep this iPhone till it dies, but next time it will be Samsung. I won't put my money in a sleeping company. Samsung gives much more fun

If the iPhone doesn't fit your needs you should get what phone fits your needs. If you think the iPhone is 5 years behind, no sense discussing this further.

 

[epicrayban]

Can't say this has been an issue.

The question was, what can Android do that iOS can't.

And it may not be an issue for you, but it's a feature that should exist for the user to decide whether they want to use it or not. In other words, it shouldn't be an issue for anybody, instead of just 'not an issue' for you.

That's the fundamental difference, I find, between Android and iOS. One allows you to make the decision on how you want to use your phone to a very effective degree (again, I argue that customization is far more than just about aesthetics. Getting the phone customized to your needs makes a tremendous impact on daily use), and the other doesn't.

Even if you don't need, say, email attachments, what harm is there for the feature exist. The answer is none; you can continue not using attachments as you so wish.

Though I agree for the most part that my iPhone 6 feels outdated when comparing to the competition, especially the S6/Edge, I disagree the competition's camera puts the iPhone's camera "5 years behind." The iPhone camera is one area that can barely be touched by the competition. The S6/Edge and maybe the Note 4 are the only ones that stand up. HTC, Motorola, OnePlus... no chance. Sony Xperia Z series, one would think, could match the iPhone, but that doesn't either.

Again, agree with everything else.

This whole discussion never goes anywhere because the usage of the phone is so personalized. Saying the email attachment its a feature that SHOULD exist is like saying every car produced should be as fast as a Bugatti, tough as a Dodge Ram, capable hauling massive loads and sips gas like a Prius and is priced like a Honda. There is no mythical straw man of what and what not a phone operating should do.

Android will always feel behind iOS to me, because I don't really like it; hardware alone does not make for a better phone as Samsung unfortunately knows.

While there is no harm in including functionality to attach random emails, I'm still waiting for my Bugatti fast, ram tough, big load hauling, Prius sipping priced like a Honda car.

I don't think that comparison is apt. Clearly there are reasons why not all cars have the same horse power -- costs of production, cost to the consumer, fuel economy, electric cars are still in their infancy, etc. Your comparison might be more applicable if I was asking Apple to include 557 PPI screens like the S6/Edge. I am not; in fact, I've said multiple times that I wish Samsung would have held back on that and kept it at 1080p for more battery life.

What great cost does Apple incur to add some desirable features to iOS? Little. People aren't asking for Apple to go nuts with iOS. For me, attachments would be nice, but I was only discussing that because someone brought it up (again, the original question was simply, what can Android do that iOS cannot). For me, it wouldn't hurt for Apple to allow us to customize the Control Panel, for example. That's one area I find frustrating. I think other people can list more.

And yes, the usage of the phone is indeed personal, but that's precisely why the operating system should be flexible enough to cater to each person's personal usage. Shouldn't what you just said be exactly the reason why iOS should be more customizable?

I like the apple walled garden, and as I just said in the previous post there is no mythical straw man of what an operating should do. An extension to that is infinite customizability; which is another myth.

I'm sure you or I can easily dig up some of the older iOS vs android threads for old times sake; don't think that info needs to be repeated and regurgitated in this thread.

I tried the S6 and have had it for about a short week now, I will most likely be returning it due to several reasons but I'll give you my experience with it.

It's really well built and has a excellent screen and screen size. I'm not really into phablets, although I had a stint with the 6 Plus and enjoyed it, I still ended up trading it back for the regular 6. This phone just seems like it has the perfect screen size and comfy ergonomics.

I'm not a huge camera user, but the camera on this phone is outstanding and very easy to use. I think the picture quality on it is just a little better then the iPhone.

I really enjoy the fast charging. My battery demands aren't very high, but it's nice if I'm ever in a pinch and I top it off really fast, though most of my charging habits are just at night when I go to bed, I leave it plugged in.

Here are the negatives...

The S6 still lags. Yes I'm sorry, many are going to disagree with me here, or maybe I'm just extra sensitive to lag and frame drops, but TouchWiz will still be TouchWiz here. Don't get me wrong, it's much, much faster then it was before.. but case and point, web browsing some of my favorite forums and message boards I frequent, the S6 jerked all down the page and stuttered at times. It would smooth out eventually but it would do this continuously. It takes a long time for the RAM to cache everything and this is just annoying. Just out of curiosity I turned on my iPhone that is hooked to Wifi, and to no surprise, browsing and navigating is just smooth as silk. Safari performance just crushes Chrome and it isn't even close here.

Touch ID on the iPhone is a little better. I use Touch ID without any problems, the S6 fingerprint is good as well and fast, but often times will miss my print and I have to redo it. I tried clearing them and redoing my prints about 3 times and still had the same result. It works fine, but about 8/10 times my print will fail and I have to do it again.

Battery life is good during actual usage, I was able to get just right at 5 hours of screen on time with lower brightness, but the standby time is awful. (I'm on Verizon so shouldn't be any standby drains). I went to bed with the device at 87% one night, and woke up and it was at 75% or so. I factory reset the device just to make sure it wasn't a bug and it still did the same thing. This is just nuts, my 6 would never drop that much on standby time, I haven't really been able to quite get that day and a half battery life on the S6 yet despite light usage because of its standby time. My iPhone 6 can hit two days of light usage.

The lack of iMessage has been a little annoying. I know this won't apply to some, or will with certain exceptions. Almost all of my regular contacts have iPhones and all of us running iMessage is much better, able to share pictures and video messages seamlessly. I don't send a lot of video but we do share pictures quite often and it's nice that I could load multiple pictures into a message and just throw it at my contact and iMessage will send it without a hunch.

I really wanted to like the S6 but these downsides will probably do it for me, especially the lag. I was really disappointed with this because I almost trusted Samsung to deliver a lag free experience. Even my Moto X 2014 overall feels more smooth and snappy. There are times where the S6 is incredibly smooth, but other times TouchWiz rears its ugly head and the phone just gets crippled down in stutters and frame drops on the screen, especially with web browsing. Also doing texting would lag to, if I was typing really fast or typing a long text message, the keyboard would start to lag a lot and slow down embarrassingly so.

The lag and standby times on the battery has mostly done it for me. It's such a shame because this is a really nice device. I can't excuse the 2k display for the lag, the polish on the iPhone really shows and makes me appreciate it a little more. So it will most likely be going back. This is greatly improved over the S5 but I guess TouchWiz will be TouchWiz. How will it hold up overtime with long term use? And then the topic of software updates.. we all know how those can be if you don't have a Nexus device.

It's probably back to the iPhone 6, but it had a good shot.

You gave it a fair shot.

While I think all phones lag to some degree, including my iPh 6, I'm still really concerned about TouchWiz. Still waiting for my S6 to arrive...

 

[Diseal3]

Just load Nova Launcher that'll eliminate touchwiz lag.

Before you return it wait for verizon to push the update all the other carriers got.

You are using first firmware and will smoothen out after a few updates. Also chrome sucks compared to the samsung browser but verizon pulled it so you are stuck with chrome

Our firmware is march 20 and they have a March 31 update and another new update that just came out 2 days ago with April 1 kernel

So technical our verizon phones are already 2 major 300mb updates behind.

The iPhones and most phones run like crap until a few updates gets pushed.

 

[I7guy]

If all you can keep saying is, "I am fine with it" when someone points out what iOS cannot do, then this discussion is indeed lost.

The discussion is indeed lost as I'm pointing out the difference between a requirement and nice to have and how people view them. We're already in an infinite loop with this and will continue to go around in circles.

Android should support continuity and support a native version of FaceTime so I don't have to download other third party apps.

 

[gotluck]

Android should support continuity and support a native version of FaceTime so I don't have to download other third party apps.

android does support continuity and facetime like apps. If you have an aversion to third party apps, android is not for you. I do wish they had first party apps for those functions, but IMO you cant argue that is a deficiency of android. Facetime is more of a deficiency, becuse users on both sides must have the said 3rd party app (i thought most devices came preloaded with hangouts anyway). But continuity is completely available through multiple apps, aside from passing a phone call to another device I believe. It is even cross platform, which for some is better than apple's implementation (becuase they can use it at work)

 

[unclejamaal]

The beauty of android is that each and every android phone will be unique and you have the opportunity to customise it to death.

When an iPhone goes off in the office I notice load of people reaching for their pockets Because no one can be bothered to change the ringer.

Both ios and android have good things going for them. It's a question of what works for you

 

[Vegastouch]

How about attach a file to an email reply. IOS cannot do this at the moment natively.

I dont believe you can share anything to any app on iOS yet either. And no back button is a huge issue as well.

 

[I7guy]

So isn't that the point as long as there is an app for that we're all good. Doesn't matter if natively supported or not.

Of course no app will make up for the loss of a removable battery or sd card.

 

[gotluck]

So isn't that the point as long as there is an app for that we're all good. Doesn't matter if natively supported or not.

I suppose, but that doesnt give me cross platform continuity on iphone (not even possible with jailbreak) or email attachments in replies (possible with jailbreak)

Silly arguement imo.

We are comparing phones that are competitive with each other. Cars in their catagories ARE similar. All trucks are as tough as the other in their catagory as in full size trucks. Bugatis competition are as fast . Clearly a Toyota Camry isnt as fast but it also is a lot cheaper.

An email attachment is a basic feature that every email client i have ever used has.....except for Apples. Hec the Apple crowd had to hoot and holler just to get MMS and copy and paste that Stevy didnt think you needed.
Again, i do like iPhones but imo Android is , and has been for a few years now ...ahead of iOS in functuality, options and customization and why i like it better.

Thats not to say iOS isnt any good. I just dont prefer it as you dont prefer Android.....but i had a iPhone for two years, you havent used an Android for any length of time asside from messing with your Sons and never as a daily driver. And thats fine too. Use what you like but nobody needs to be here just to bash the other.

 

[I7guy]

Can you pass a phone call to an iPhone? this whole conversation about email was already covered, I guess I'll accept that as a partial iOS deficiency while I'll also say it's nice to have native support for things android needs an app for.

This whole discussion is silly and I agree with you on that. Nobody is changing another'sind and each has their place. Trying to one-up these operating systems never works and just ends up by being a endless stream of conciousness.

I dont have to use android for any length of time to know I like iOS better. I am able to buy a car in less time than it takes to get a new phone.

Yes we are comparing phones and it's my feeling apples ecosystem plus phone is better than the competitions. I don't have to prove it; I voted with my wallet.

well except for cross platform continuity

no i dont think there is anyway to pass phone calls, just receive notification of incoming call on other devices

havent found ios equivalents to acestream, sopcast either (and flash of course) but antipiracy will keep the first 2 off ios.

at this point the attachment thing is my biggest annoyance with iOS, IMO that is standard use case and their delay on implementation is shameful. ios 8 extensions were supposed to be the answer

 

[MikesGravity]

Under-spec'ed? The i6 has better single core benchmarks than the S6 and better graphic scores. The RAM needs a boost but that's about the only under-spec'ed part. It shows how optimized software trumps specs.

I think the 6S will be a solid phone that will sell well. But Lord knows the iPhone 6 shipped woefully under-spec'ed.

The S6 is spec'ed well enough that Samsung could easily afford to focus on Touchwiz optimization and android updates and still hold it's own against the iPhone 7 in 2016.

----------

I am considering picking up an S6, can anyone tell me... do non-native apps look good on that screen? At least the big players, google, facebook, twitter, etc. or was it like when the retina screen came out at first?

Simple question, should android have native FaceTime and continuity? I mean it's a game we can play all day long. iOS email does allow attachments; you did mean to say random attachments.

How are you comparing native versus something iOS cannot do? iOS can't do attachments in replies without a jailbreak. Android has regular app alternatives for FaceTime and continuity

 

[epicrayban]

Simple question, should android have native FaceTime and continuity? I mean it's a game we can play all day long. iOS email does allow attachments; you did mean to say random attachments.

Answer to your question: Yes.

Of course, the follow up question is: will Apple allow it?
