Samsung S6 edge vs iPhone 6/plus

[I7guy]

That's fine, but reputations exist for a reason.

This is an anonymous internet discussion forum; where everything goes both ways.

True, but the experiences are different. Like the poster above prefers the Moto G due to tab reloading. I prefer iOS and I think Apple is more forward looking than android although google tries to put windows on a mobile device.

Could you elaborate on the bolded?

 

[jamezr]

What nonsense. With 100s of millions of idevices everybody's experience will be different; and it doesn't mean that everybody's experience will be perfect. Just like the S6. Are you going to deny that people have not reported stuttering/performance/battery life issues with the S6 on MR?

Galaxy S6

And see above post.

No that not what was said at all! did you even read your own post?? You are not even making sense. You change the subject everytime you are about to be wrong!

I7guy said:
hardware alone is not the gauge on forward thinking. That's like saying Samsung isn't forward thinking because even with 3 gig, people are reporting stuttering on the s6. It makes apples 1gig look better.

I have never said the S6 doesn't have problems for some. If you say otherwise then show me.
Stop making stuff up!


You brought hardware into this mix. Do you even read the iphone forums here on MR? You spend so much time in the Alt section even after admitting you don't like Android and do not own Android.

The iphone struggles with 1GB of ram so much the 6s will have 2GB. Even then with 2GB the 6s can't handle multi window so it will be exclusive to the ipad air 2 or ipads to be released this fall with IOS 9.
Android phones have had split/multi window capability for years.

So take s few moments and read the threads here on MR about all the people having issues with their iphones.
Here let me help you. Here are a few and I haven't even gotten to the really good stuff like bending 6+

Sure I look at what google has done with android, similar to windows. No walled garden, file system access; which provides a bunch of other stuff as well. Basically android offers a way to run your phone the way you want.....if that is what appeals to you.

It's ridiculous to get into a tit-for-tat on this on how many threads one can quote to prove a point; I'm stopping at one. My point stands.

As you say, have you reviewed your own posts to see what you said? Seems like there is some amount of back-pedaling going on.

The issue is you took a statement as part of a larger post and made something up. All I said, was "do you think the S6 is issue free" and I quoted a post. Period.

And if you read the OPs opening post, it's a mix of hardware and software impressions.

But once again, reputations matter because you cannot argue that Samsung is faster than HTC at software updates for flagships when the evidence is on the contrary. Samsung has a reputation of a laggy experience with tons of bugs, slow updates, tons of awesome but sometimes unnecessary features, and incredible hardware. Samsung's processors are so good, my future 6S+ will have 14nm A9 Samsung made chip.

No read my post again. No back peddling here. I stand by what I say. I don't try to change the subject rather answer questions. You come here only to post negative information and half truths.

No way 12hrs gives you an understanding of the OS. I moved from iOS after nearly 6 yrs and it took me about 2 weeks to get a feel for it and it was probably 2 months before I had the phone configured and running the way I really liked it. The reason was there's so much to learn and lots of possibilities. Even just this year my Note 3 has seen it's share of new features and upgrades in apps, etc. that make it even better yet.

The one thing I can say is that such is the case with an Android, especially a nice one, vs iOS. iPhones just don't have that much growth potential. Once you outgrow training wheels, Android is a Godsend.



Common. It's new and bound to be that way. See my points above, you'll likely be configuring it better and better each day/week for a while. It took me about 2 months to realize great battery life.



Can't say I'm familiar with them. Only you can make that call. Perhaps there's apps simliar for use on Android.



Of course, you've used it for quite a while. After a few months, you'll likely say the opposite. depends on what you use your phone for though. I'm a power user of all types of things.



what do I think......Android 5.x > iOS 8.x Haredware wise, I think the S6 Edge > iPhone 6. Have not used an edge as a primary phone but wife does have an iPH6 and I've used iOS for years. Been with Android now since launch of the Note 3.

 

[Dmaynard83]

I wouldn't call being on an iPhone being training wheels. Some of us just prefer iOS over android. I enjoy the smoothness, screen, camera, app quality over androids.

If I ever went back to android I would never get a samsung though, simply because I can't touchwiz and think it's UI looks really really bad. I would definitely go with the latest nexus or moto x.

I was referring to your position in that Apple is forward thinking in comparison to other tech companies which is one (or the main reason) of the reasons you prefer iOS.

In some ways they are forward thinking. The whole personal assistant seemed to hit hard after Apple announced Siri with 4s and shortly after android created their version (although I don't think Google Now was created back around the 4s era).

Apple also introduced the finger print sensor and shortly after android manufacturers built their own.

Android manufacturers probably created plenty more "innovative" features, but thats not to say Apple isn't a leader when it comes to their own "innovative" features.

Homekit, healthapp are the easiest two to cite.

LOL, can't get censured because of a dislike of one's opinion. I, however, make it a point to read the posts, can't say that goes all the way around fully. And I do get the impression there was a wee bit of backpedaling.

meh......Siri was announced with the 4s in Oct 2011, Now was introduced in June of 2012. It wasn't like Google stole the idea.

I'm sure many do prefer iOS, but it doesn't change the fact that it is far more limiting vs Android which allows one to allow more personal design to the way their system operates. I call it training wheels as I outgrew it's capabilities and what it would allow me to do quickly.

Hmm... I can't see one of the two as being forward thinking (don't know anything about the medical field) as it's just their version of something that already existed. Here are some examples:

Creston
Elan
Control 4
iRule
Savant

That's what Apple seems to do, innovate not invent. It will be interesting to see how these two ideas move forward. With homekit, Apple wants your idevice to control your home. With health app, they've partnered with IBM.

I can understand that. I think it just depends on your needs. I used to flash all the latest ROMs on my S4/note 2 but in the end I just missed the fluidity, quality apps, aesthetics of iOS for more "freedom." I think iOS is taking steps to open up the OS, but still far behind android in that sense.

There's also something to be said about a company that controls almost all parts of making the phone, from manufacturing to the OS. You can really tell the difference between an iPhone and Nexus, from a Samsung device which basically has touchwiz slapped over the android OS.

So tell us more about this IBM partnership. You mentioned it in other threads but never answered questions when asked about it.

I just don't see this as an innovation as like I said it doesn't do anything different and to be blunt is vastly inferior to what's available. It's the same thing with their branding. Their idevices already control peoples homes through apps. What I will say is that it's a smart move on their part as it will make it more difficult for people to move away from their platform as it requires monetary investment from their user base which I believe is their only motivation behind it. Healthkit on the other hand seems useful.

You can argue the monetary investment on every platform.

Oh let's quote AI on MR!! Apple Insider is the most one sided Apple fanboy site on the Internet! the editor DED has been caught outright lying about things and been outed mis stating facts to make Apple look good.
So you don't know what the IBM partnership is that you have been mentioning in your posts so you link something from AI. Nice!

Same with fingerprint sensors, but Apple brought it to the mainstream public and took it from being a cool thing that was invented and brought it to global level.

Same with Apple pay. Google had Google Wallet waaay before Apple Pay, but you could barely use it because hardly any places had NFC tech to support the NFC chips. Google brought the tech to our phones, but didn't do any legwork to get retailers to take up the NFC tech.

When Apple took it up they pressured retailers to implement the tech and are making NFC payments much more widespread.

Irrelevant your opinion of the website; the partnership is a fact and you can choose to keep your head in the sand about the significance of this.
