Up now for voting, in this round of Mobile Madness, we have the Apple iPhone 6S Plus vs the Nextbit Robin. These two devices are hard to compare, first they run different operating systems, their functionality differs and one is a well-established business, the other is startup with big aspirations. We reviewed the iPhone 6S Plus a few months ago, and while it is improved over the 6...
Here’s the heavyweight fight you’ve been waiting for. Mano a mano; Samsung’s best versus Apple’s best. One is clearly better on paper, but which experience is superior? We can’t say with certainty right now. All we can do is look at the Galaxy S7 Edge’s specs and note the 5.5-inch Quad HD display, 4GB of RAM, IP68 certification, 3,600mAh battery and always on display. The iPhone 6s Plus...
A lot of folks seem to think that, since we review gadgets for a living, we don’t actually go out and spend our own money on them. Problem is, I actually do buy a lot of the gadgets I like. If you listen to the podcast, you know the inside joke we have: “What did Todd return this week?” I’ve returned plenty of gadgets this year, and kept some that I probably should have returned. Here...
We’ve seen a lot of fantastic phones this year; too many to count. We kicked things off with the Galaxy S6, LG G4 and One M9, and quickly moved on to devices like the OnePlus 2 and Moto G, the latter of which continues to attract a fervent following. But in such a highly competitive market, which one stands out as the best? That’s a tough question to answer. We typically highlight one...
Samsung is adding two new Galaxy Note 5 options to its lineup in South Korea. They’re exactly the same internally, but they come in two cool new colors — Silver Titanium and Pink Gold. The Pink Gold option gives phablet fans an Android-powered alternative to the Rose Gold iPhone 6s Plus, but it appears to be a little brighter than Apple’s device. The Silver Titanium, which is my...
Apple’s 3D Touch is great, and makes navigating iOS a hundred times easier. No longer do you have to jump in and out of settings or dig through menus just to toggle a simple feature. It’s still very much a young technology, but it shows a lot of promise, and when done right, it can become a huge part of the iPhone for years to come. That said, the only way for it to really get better...
Apple on Friday introduced its new SIM-free iPhone 6s, which offers the largest range of bands for global roaming support. As it turns out, this phone is apparently the same model being sold for AT&T, and Apple recently updated the specs page to reflect that it actually supports CDMA networks, which weren’t previously listed. 9to5Mac noticed some of the changes on Apple’s site,...
Maybe it's just me. Maybe time is going by a lot faster now that I'm officially 30 years old, which seems so, so old. But it feels like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus just came out. They still feel and look like new phones to me. But already a year old and, right on schedule, Apple updated both devices with the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The...
When the iPhone 4s was released in 2011, Apple’s device quickly earned the title of best smartphone camera ever. Since then, the company has retained its reputation for offering an excellent camera experience, though its perch at the top has come under fire. With competition from the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony and even some old Lumias, the iPhone is quickly fading away as just another...
