Apple iPhone 6 Plus review

Apple iPhone 6 Plus:

The iPhone 6 Plus is a 5.5” Retina HD giant iPhone that stunned us all; with the biggest redesign since the iPhone history and entry in the phablet world, big screens is the new trend.

Display:

The phone is big, but that’s the whole point of the iPhone 6 Plus; so the display is all that you really need to know about. It boasts of a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 and also a 401 PPi, so it’s an effortless winner when it comes to clarity. Also, should a crowd gather around the screen, everyone can still have a great visual experience because the LED-backlit display has remarkable viewing angles, courtesy dual-domain pixels of Apple. The display has everything that smartphone users seek for. Smooth, captivating mobile experience- legibility in both bright and dull conditions, combating reflection, as well as tilt-adaptability. Also, this handset brought home the title of having ‘the best performing smartphone LCD display ever.”

Reachability:

Apple seeks to prove with this phone that size and ease are not inversely related. The usual navigation which involved exiting an app (home button) and opening a new one (top tap) was not that fussy in its previous models, but the very same operations require some big time hand-shuffling in this. But Apple attempts to nullify this drawback by introducing ‘Reachability’, where a double tap on the home key would bring the top portion of the display to the middle. But this feels unpleasant, almost looks like there’s a glitch in the system, thanks to the big black block in the void which could have been put to better use. Think multi-window.

Design and performance:

Measuring 158.11mm x 77.8mm x 7.1mm, it weighs 172g even though it looks impossibly thin. It’s undisputedly the best-looking phablet available, as it radiates class and style. The grip isn’t that great owing to the flat, brushed metal rear. The Sapphire crystal glass is a terrific shield for any breakages. The 8MP rear camera comes with just a handful of options, keeping it clutter-free. This is exactly what many look for- take superb images with little fuss. It also has a 1.2MP front HD clicker.
