Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review

16 GB (A1549, A1522)     See other variants reviews Score: 75.3 / 100

Apple iPhone 6 Plus is an absolutely great device released many years ago, including a 5.5" multi touch display, a very fast 64-bit Dual-Core processor running at 1400 megahertz, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front facing camera. Is that all? No, it's only the tip of the iceberg.

This device feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone of this size. Talking about its aspect, this cellphone is mainly manufactured with Aluminium, giving it a high quality look and improved resistance. Apple offers this phone in 3 colors: black, gray and gold. Being just 0.28" thick,the Apple iPhone 6 Plus is very thin and comfortable. The Apple iPhone 6 Plus only has 6.22 inches long, but it manages to hold a 5.5 inches screen.

Apple packed the iPhone 6 Plus with a incredible 5.5-inches display, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), which makes all images and videos look absolutely perfect. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 500 candela/m2 and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Apple ships this phone with a Apple A8 chip, holding a high performance 64 bit Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1400 megahertz with only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit low comparing with the Apple iPhone 6 Plus's impressive processor. To handle graphic calculations, it also has a PowerVR GX6450 graphic processing unit speeding at 450 megahertz. A good feature of the Apple iPhone 6 Plus is its quite large 16 GB internal storage and whereas it doesn't count with a slot for an SD memory card, it should be enough to store a couple hundred games and apps, but it might not be suitable if you are planning to install some of the largest games currently available or taking tons of photos and videos.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front-facing camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a f/2.2 aperture so it can capture detailed photographs even in poor lighting conditions. This phone can also shoot videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 60 frames per second, and 1280x720 HD slow-motion videos up to 240 frames per second (8 times slower ). In addition, the camera includes a high number of great features: flash, auto-focus, fast burst mode, optical image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting, time lapse video and geo tagging.

This phone counts with WiFi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connectivity and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM connection and it can work with both CDMA and GSM carriers.

This phone has a 2915 mAh high capacity Li-Ion non-removable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. This cellphone has an estimated talk time of 24 hs and a stand by time of 384 hs. An issue to take into consideration is that the iPhone 6 Plus's battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with so much capacity you will probably buy a new cellphone before it becomes a real problem.

The iPhone 6 Plus also includes a great numbre of useful characteristics like Fingerprint Scanner, NFC, Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices and accessories) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone is an impressive phone and it is priced around $ 170, quite the same as other similar cellphones. This cellphone is a great choice for you no matter whether you are an amateur photographer, are looking for a social cellphone, want a gamer cellphone or need a work phone. This phone sells with Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Lightning to USB Cable, Documentation and USB Power Adapter.
