Apple iPhone 6 Review

16 GB (A1549, A1522)     See other variants reviews Score: 74.1 / 100

Apple iPhone 6 is a very high-end iOS cellphone launched in September 2014, having a 4.7" multi-touch screen, a high speed 64 bit Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1.4 GHz, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera.

Apple decided to build this cellphone using a Apple A8 system chip, which holds a very fast Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1.4 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit low comparing with the iPhone 6's powerful processing power. Graphic rendering generally eats a lot of CPU cycles, so this phone also has an extra PowerVR GX6450 GPU ticking at 450 MHz to improve overall performance. A nice point of this cellphone is the 16 GB quite big internal storage and though it doesn't include an external SD slot, it should be enough to store a couple hundred apps and games, although it probably wouldn't be enough if you are planning to install some of the largest games available nowadays or taking tons of photos and videos.

This phone is a compact cellphone, taking into consideration it packs a 4.7 inches display and it only has 5.44 inches long. Being just 0.27 inches thick,this phone is incredibly slim and stilized. This phone design uses Aluminium, Steel and Glass, giving it a high quality design and high resistance. This device is much lighter than what one would expect from a device like this. This cellphone is offerred in 2 colors, gray and gold.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front camera. Its back side camera has an aperture of F2.2 so it can capture sharp photos even in poorly lit environments. It is capable of capturing videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 60 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 240 fps. In addition, this phone's camera also includes a large number of valuable characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, HDR mode, face detection shooting, geo tagging and time lapse video.

Apple designed the Apple iPhone 6 with a incredible 4.7 inches screen, and a 1334 x 750 resolution, which makes all images and videos look amazing. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a great 500 candela/m2 brightness and is multi-touch enabled.

This phone counts with Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance connectivity and 3G fast internet connection, over HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA networks.

This device uses a medium sized 1810 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate use. Apple says this phone has a 250 hours stand by time and a 14 hours talk time. An important issue to take into account is that the iPhone 6's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to live shorter, making it necessary to change the whole cellphone.

The iPhone 6 also comes with a wide range of useful characteristics such as Fingerprint Scanner, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone is an incredibly powerful device priced $ 170, which is quite close to other same level devices. No matter if you want a cellphone for playing games, want this phone for work, want this device to take many pictures or will use it majorly for social networks, this cellphone is definitely a great choice . This phone comes with USB Power Adapter, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Documentation and Lightning to USB Cable.
