It is rather surprising to know that the iPhone 6 came out almost a year ago, and the replacement version will be out soon.
The excitement surrounding this version of the iPhone does not appear to have gone away. This is large because it is the first phone to compete with the Android high-end devices in terms of screen size. One of the high-end Android phones is the HTC One M9+ – a suitable range topper for the Taiwanese giant, HTC.
Display
The HTC One M9+ comes with every other aspect already seen in the HTC One M9 but with a few additions. Primarily, it increases the screen size ever so slightly to 5.2 inches from just 5 inches. Android phones continue to have a dominant nature over the screen size especially in comparison with the iPhone 6. This is even after the Apple device increasing its screen size to 4.6 inches. However, the use of a 5.2-inch screen limits the mobility aspect of the device considerably, and it appears that the 4.6-inch display seems to be the limit for now.
Speed
A major change compared with the HTC One M9 is the presence of a new octacore 2.2 GHz processor from Mediatek. Even though the Snapdragon 810 processor used on the One M9 has faced a lot of criticism concerning heating issues, this has not troubled the One M9 and it is rather surprising to know that HTC has opted for this eight core unit from Mediatek. As in the previous generations, the iPhone 6 continues with the A series processors with the latest device using the A8 chip. The improvements on this chip have been numerous, but they have been pushed aside in terms of headlines largely by the new large display.
Rear Camera
The rear eight-megapixel camera may continue the iPhone 6, but it has been sufficiently reworked to maintain its position as the supreme in the smartphone segment. The detail may be lacking from the pictures compared with the 20-megapixel pictures from the One M9+’s camera, but they can’t be faulted in terms of color and clarity. The party piece on the One M9+ will be the dual cameras, which enables the phone to provide the closest equivalent of 3-D pictures. It is a feature that works extremely well on some occasions, but may disappoint on others. When it works, it is truly great.
Front Camera
The rear camera on the One M9+ is supported by an impeccable four-megapixel front camera for excellent video calling and selfies. The iPhone 6 disappoints in this regard by having a 1.2-megapixel camera alone, but it does the job well. The biggest disappointment on the iPhone 6 camera front, however, remains the lack of 4K video recording feature. The base version of the iPhone 6 with 16 GB retails for around $700 while the newly launched One M9+ is priced at around $800.
