Apple iPhone 6 Plus 128GB

I am a big guy with big hands so buying a super sized smartphone was a no brainer for me. Hence, it goes without saying that I have been an Android user since stone age! I won't go into the usual boring stuffs of megapixels, ppi, number of cores, how much ram or that age old battle of iOS vs Android. My views are completely based on using the phone since a month as my daily driver. I have always believed that in terms of design & choice of materials, Apple is second to none. The touch & feel of the anodised aluminium can't be described with mere words. But there's a flip side to it of being extremely slippery. I haven't seen a smartphone display with such accurate colours & such insane amount of brightness output which gives it a huge boon for sunlight legibility. Apple has been known for creating industry leading smartphone cameras and I was mighty impressed with the focussing power, low light image quality & the ability to snap great looking photos consistently. Now, if there's one thing that I was completely blown away was the performance. It is so buttery smooth. I have played some of the most graphic intensive games like Modern Combat 5, Asphalt 8, Max Payne, etc and that too, around 2 hours straight on many occasions & i didn't encounter a single frame drop or lag or heating issues. I used to hear about it but only after having experienced it myself that I agree that gaming is literally on a different level altogether on iOS. Coming to battery life, even for a heavy user like me, there hasn't been a single day where I have been able to discharge the battery completely. But what's even better is the unreal standby time. I go to sleep with around 20% charge and wake up after 6-7 hours with 16-17% charge still left! nnP.S. - The price disparity between Apple products in India & a country like USA is just plain jane stupid. Spending so much on a phone which you will not be using for more than 2 years is just too much no matter how great the phone is. All those issues regarding the bend-gate was way too much blown out of proportion. I always carry the phone in my trousers & jeans just like any of my previous phones & there's absolutely no problem at all.

Apple's iPhone series have been known for their simplistic approach. The overall eco system is made in the same manner. I bought this one for my wife as I know she aint a power user.nnPros:nnBest build quality.nBest camera.nTouchID is awesome. Best fingerprint scanner on a mobile device.nThe 240 fps slomo is the best. nCamera optics are awesome, the best out there with Optical Image Stabilization.nSimplistic approach towards the user interface.nConsistent performance across all apps i.e quick and simple.nExcellent gaming experience.nBattery life is quite decent. My wife charges her iPhone 6+ once every two days.nBuilt in hardware sensors for "Health" apps to measure the steps, elevation and distance.nI still love the readability mode on the safari browser.nnCons:nSuper slippery. You will need a skin or case if you are worried about damaging the phone.nRestricted eco system (Classic apple :) ), you still need iTunes or a software to transfer media.nNot many apps still make the right use of the large screen. Most of them are simply blown up to fit.nMulti tasking capabilities are still elementary.nLack of customization. You still cant add mobile data in the quick settings drawer or do anything else. What you see is basically what you get.
