display
AMOLED-screens have become quite popular in recent years, but Apple continues to believe that the IPS-display should be fine. Not wanting to give up in favor of LCDs oleophobic (or at least try), the company from Cupertino is stuck in their conservative views. But Microsoft I have decided to try the new technology and the move has provided the flagship of Lumia 950 XL 5,7-inch AMOLED-display with a resolution of QHD. Exactly, but with the prefix Super, is on the Galaxy Note5 . Sam iPhone 6s Plus has a smaller screen of 5.5 inches and a lower resolution – 1080p. Its sharpness is much less – 401 units versus 518 dpi.
The winner in this category is definitely Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It is very bright display comes with an extra color calibration and is not afraid of the sun. Manual mode gives you a wide range of brightness, although auto coping well.
The second place was Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. It is also perfectly calibrated. And the colors are combined with the very high level of Auto Brightness. Manual mode, however, more conservative than the Note5, but even bright sunlight does not interfere with reading the text.
The third place at Apple IPhone 6s Plus. Very bright display is no Turbo Boost. Color calibration is worse than that of rivals. And all function 3D Touch Screen still feels unfinished beta than the full version.
Battery life
Vanity among smartphones leads to a weaker battery life . We rarely see centenarians among the phones with the body by 8-9 mm. The manufacturer is well aware that he can create a miracle thin or dolgorabotayuschee device. There is no third.
That’s iPhone 6s Plus came under reductions in favor of style. Its battery capacity has fallen from 2915 mAh to 2750 mAh. Samsung Galaxy Note5 , in contrast, has become a little thicker, and now has a decent battery 3000 mAh. And the thick Microsoft Lumia 950 XL was the battery immediately to 3340 mAh. But is it so important when the battery is removable and can fulfill its function worse than the non-removable? Moreover, the battery life is often dependent on performance and power consumption of the processor.
So, even with the greatest potential Microsoft Lumia 950 XL takes only the third place in the constitution. The charge is consumed rather quickly, and twice as fast as in the mode of using two SIM cards. Longer stretches iPhone. But just because a combination of polished custom chip and OS user even without a big battery. During discovery – plus sign. But the best is still running Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Most of battery combined with a moderately working processor. In addition, the battery can be charged quickly and without wires, if you buy a charging station, with hard-Europe.
camcorder
This is the first time Apple made for your camera device capable of shooting video in 2160p. Did this make and beautiful photos? Partly. Mainly thanks to electronic image stabilization.
Among the three newly appeared winner Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with a better camera. It offers a rich and precise color without blurring. The sound is very good video recording. Apple iPhone 6s Plus has got the second place. The weak point proved to be sound. Video is recorded with the noise, which is very bad for the flagship. While the video itself passes more accurate detail and color than the camera Lumia. As to the Nokia Lumia 950 XL , the smartphone gets high marks for audio, but the camera can not fully realize the power of video 4K. Although photographs she copes well, but loses detail.
Final words
Even the fact that all of the phones – the leaders on their platforms (at least in technical terms), together they are too different in level. And the last place in general gets the software from Microsoft Windows 10 with his mobile. One may promise people to Continuum, but in fact the docking stations selling almost there, and raw program is crude display, camera and the processor is. And with all this the user has to face every day until the system is updated gradually correcting the myriad of bugs and getting a little better every day. While the smartphone is not ready to topple Android.
Why overthrow? Because the android platform prepared for the technological revolution better than his opponent with iOS. It’s not that the developers also allowed mobile payment system in the course of (Android pay), and that the phone is actually used all the latest mobile technologies. Last in the line of iPhone, of course, also order podnabrat form, received twice as much memory and camera with the ability to capture ultra-high resolution, but it seems that Apple has consistently adhered to a more modern technology, postponing them for later, to get consumers to purchase a new phone series, as he, of course, is getting better. But in fact we do not see support for the stylus, Super-Amoled-screen resolution, or at least higher than Full HD. All this is a competitor in the face of Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
