Is it too big? Yes. But that’s also why it will be a success. With the iPhone 6 Plus and its giant screen of 5.5 inches (about 14 cm diagonal), Apple looks into the market phablettes, dominated by Samsung and its Galaxy Note (including version 4 was unveiled early September and released in France in October to a still undetermined price) and G3 LG. Long gone are the days when Steve Jobs said that the ideal size of a smartphone screen was 3.5 inches. His successor, Tim Cook, is much more pragmatic. With 6 Plus, American thinks big … and adds specific to that size smartphone features boss.
The largest screen in the range … No
doubt, this screen is stunning. The new pixel technology dual transistors confers wider viewing angles to the smartphone. Moreover, its resolution is the best of the range of iPhone: 1920 x 1080 pixels with 401 pixels per inch. Like the iPhone 6 (see our full review), the proposed picture quality is impressive, further enhanced by this unique screen size. Watching movies on the iPhone 6 Plus is a joy.
… The bulkier also
course, with its giant screen, we could not s wait a device that slips away with in the pocket of skinny jeans. But compared to other phablettes (devices halfway between a smartphone and tablet), the dimensions (length and width) of the iPhone 6 Plus are above average. Certainly, its 7.1mm thick make him look slim but its 15.81 inches tall and 7.78 inches wide make it more bulky than the G3 Korean LG, which also consists of a screen 5.5 inches, but the size (14.63 x 7.46 x 0.89 cm) are much more compact. Damage.
The more features If
has also iOS 8 operating system and many of the same characteristics (same chips, the same system Touch sensing fingerprint ID even connections …), the iPhone 6 Plus nevertheless has some specific elements. This is seen particularly at the camera. If, as the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, the number of pixels is limited to 8,000,000, the Plus has an optical image stabilization (to thwart his superior weight: 172 g against 129 g for little brother) that is effective to use.
The more autonomy
Who says a larger screen size, said an upper space behind to a larger battery. Apple claims that it is resistant to 24 hours 3G talk (against 14 hours for the iPhone 6). It would be three hours longer than the Galaxy S5 Samsung and LG G3. The manufacturer data confirm nevertheless
The most expensive smartphones
First prize. 809 euros for 16 GB of storage. This is undoubtedly one of the most expensive appliances market, even for a phablette. The Galaxy Note 4, which we do not yet know the final price for France, should also be in this range. But the iPhone 6 Plus goes mostly a psychological barrier. In the version with the largest (128GB) storage, is over a thousand euros to 1,019 euros. More than a television phone … not sure the public is ready to accept that.
REVIEW It will no
probably considered too cumbersome by many, despite the attractiveness of its big screen. But for those seeking true comfort of view (and who are tired to put on their glasses to read a text message) and a much larger keyboard, the iPhone 6 Plus is a solution (with other phablettes market) . It should nevertheless be prepared to not store his smartphone but kept in a bag when moving. Note that the function double tapping the physical button below the screen allows you to fully operate the camera with one hand. However, a function that actually proves handy.
Some regret the lack of stylus (present on the Galaxy Note). But the real brake further substantial size, this is prohibitively expensive. The iPhone 6 Plus is a little smartphone that we would like to have but which, in practice, finally proves very limiting mobility. The Apple Watch perhaps will address this concern (for a few hundred extra euros)
