That's not particularly impressive. I got a family plan with my wife. We pay $180 for 6 GB of data.

That's a dope phone though. The crazy thing is its got a big screen but the actual phone itself isn't as big as the other phablets.

It's considered by many to be one of if not the best smartphone out right now.

One of the many rankings out there. I think its pretty fair although everything can be argued.


This is a pretty good list too. He puts the iPhone 5s before the One, but that's mostly because it has a better camera. The camera seems to be very important to him.

Forgot to update to iOS 8

Consumer Editor Dan Jones got the new iPhone 6, 6 Plus and a brand new 5s and set them all up identically — with his 900-PLUS apps.

Here, he reveals how each model got on:

“Fully charged, I used each of the three phones rigorously in identical ways, streaming iPlayer, using maps, checking the Sun app and making calls.

Don’t take this as everyday use — I pushed them to the limit to drain the batteries as quickly as possible.

I started with Tuesday night’s EastEnders playing on three devices at the same time yesterday morning.

After this, there was a small difference. The 5s was down to 89 per cent battery, with the 6 on 91 and the 6 Plus on 93.

I then used a SatNav app on my taxi ride to work while downloading the new U2 album and my iPhone 6 review on The Sun.

After this there was a real difference — the 5s was trailing on 65 per cent, the 6 was on 75 per cent and the 6 Plus was on 78 per cent.

Next I thought I should make a call, so I rang three colleagues from the three different phones — leaving the line open for just over half an hour.

At the same time I downloaded the HD version of my favourite film, Back to the Future.

By this stage, the Plus was in the lead — with 53 per cent battery. Next was the normal 6, with 40 per cent — but the 5s was trailing with 26 per cent.

This meant that by midday, the biggest of the new phones had TWICE as much battery left.

While I was only testing battery life, I did notice the phones had other differences — mainly to do with the speed they work at.

It was plain to see the 5s was much slower at loading apps and downloading the film.

By this point, I thought I should watch my video review of the iPhones AGAIN.

This caused the 5s to flash up the deadly 20 per cent battery alert that tells iPhone users the end is nigh. The 6 was on 34 per cent and the 6 Plus on 47 per cent.

After four hours of intensive use, I decided to leave the phones for a bit, but they would, of course, still be using power.

Emails automatically download. And, as many people don’t always realise, apps use data AND location services in the background.

By 12.51pm, things were looking bleak for the 5s — down to two per cent. The 6 was in the red but still on 16 per cent and the 6 Plus on 32 per cent.

It was all over by 1pm. After that, I used the 6 and 6 Plus normally.

The 6 soldiered on to just after 2.30pm, at which point the 6 Plus was still on 22 per cent.

So, why is the battery better?

The “brain” of the new phone — the so-called A8 — uses 50 per cent less power, despite being 25 per cent more powerful.

But in real use, you don’t get twice as much battery as the extra power is offset by the bigger and more detailed screens.

In addition, the 6 has a slightly bigger battery than the 5s and the 6 Plus a much bigger one.

Half an hour streaming iPlayer

- Using maps for 25 minutes in car ride

- 30 minute phone call

- Downloading a HD movie — Back to the Future

- Uploading pics

- Watching my iPhone 6 review on Sun app — TWICE

- Half an hour playing on Facebook and Twitter

- Regularly checking emails and browsing pictures

Plus, at the same time, phones are downloading emails and apps using location services and data in the background

Power left when the 5s died:

iPhone 6: 16 per cent

iPhone 6 Plus: 32 per cent

When they died (taken off charge at 7am, and heavy use from 8.30am):

iPhone 5s: 12.59pm

iPhone 6: 2.31pm

iPhone 6 Plus: 5.01pm

Yeah it's actually about the size of the S5 with a half inch bigger screen.

I figured its the most future proof android phone because of the 2k screen & 3 gigs of ram.

Can't do Galaxy note tho that shits even bigger

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Yeah, you're probably right. I personally wouldn't buy a Samsung phone for myself. They bog them down with too much bullshit. The G3 does look like a keeper though.

[banginscrew901]

Surprised ain't nobody in here saying what they like dislike

 

[The Lonious Monk]

It's an iPhone. The fanboys will never admit it's not perfect. And the haters don't really hate the phones, they hate the people who insist the phone is more than it is.
