I have played it on my Xbox 360. But I must admit, the graphics on next generation consoles (Xbox One & PS4) is nothing short of remarkable. Another game that is also worth noting is Watchdogs. But seriously, GTAV is a beauty, even in last gen consoles (Xbox 360 & PS3) how much more next gen. I saw the demo for next gen and I tripped. But it can still be argued that it ultimately boils down to the companies and how much they are ready to bring to the table to work with. GTAV is the best selling game ever, even though its yet to launch in next gen consoles. But them spend money do am sha oooooo. To make such games no be beans oooooo. Like I learnt, ACTIVISION in their next iteration for COD series (Advance Warfare) they started working with $500 million. Which if course wouldn't cover the total cost.

But on that issue, its worth noting that games on iPhone 6 would demolish its competitors especially because of Metal. And you know of course Apple already owns the crown for game graphics in mobile phones.

I like the way you presented your argument, unlike my other friend. I have nothing personal against Apple or anybody in this forum. But I just want the truth to be told the way it is. ANDROID IS GOOD and IOS IS GOOD. JUST CHOOSE WHAT YOU LIKE AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT IN OUR DEAR COUNTRY NIGERIA THAN DEBATING ABOUT ANOTHER COUNTRY'S INGENUITY.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

All those consoles were outstripped years ago. Have you been living under a rock?



Explains why there was a massive thread here when Modern Combat 5 came out, eh? Or why games continue to be the highest selling app category in every single mobile appstore?

Or why in Japan, mobile gaming is cratering sales of consoles?

PS3, XBOX 360, PS4 and XBOX ONE then?
You never heard of these, or you tactically avoided talking about them?

texazzpete:

No. No it's not. The EU version of the S5 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset. I own one.

Rank Ignorance is definitely in play in some of your arguments here.


The version sold to Africa and Middle East uses Samsung's Exynos chipset. Nigeria is in Africa. Not sure how you're reading 'inferiority complex' in a discussion about phones.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.
THANKS.

Build quality
Capability
........
There are many metrics, look up cnet, phonearena, Engadget etc for details.
Have a good one.
I'm going to be busy praying for super eagles / bafana game, so please no more distractions

Some of these sites you listed, if not all are American and European sites, and you know what that means.
I pray for Super Eagles to win too as I have green blood running in me too just like you. UP SUPER EAGLES.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

dmcdad:
He's a noob. Imagine playing a game on a phone that gives console quality graphics. Did you see the game that was demoed? Mehn! You will appreciate Metal and the power of the A8.

Serious gamers don't play on mobile. BTW Mobile games graphic still have a long way to go before catching up with Console quality, unless you are talking of PS1,NINTENDO DS, FIRST MICROSOFT XBOX, ETC.
On a side note; Have you checked out GTA 5? That's just PS3 graphics. PS4 and XBOX ONE graphics is a discussion for another day.
THANKS.

Your Samsung 'boasts' 2GB RAM because it absolutely needs it

The iPhone can easily get by with 1GB RAM because the OS is designed to be efficient...at least much more efficient than Android at memory management.

Still, with that 1GB RAM, iOS manages to run smoother and much less laggy than Android...and certainly much smoother than your S5. In fact, you shouldn't even be talking since you own the crappy Nigerian variant of the S5 with it's rubbish Exynos SoC. I had the good sense to pick up the Qualcomm version which is much less laggy.

This crappy Nigerian variant of S5 with it's rubbish Exynos SOC is also sold in Europe.
Inferiority complex is probably in play here. Just saying.......

kobonaire:

Maybe you have temporary memory loss. Allow me to repost what you said in the first page of this thread :
"TECNO Phantom Z over this crap!!"
Those were your words and I was responding to that. If you think your Chinese phone is better than the Iphone that's your view. The experts would certainly think otherwise, there are many reputable websites you can go and read reviews.
Lenovo only became a significant global brand name in PC technology when they acquired IBM's Thinkpad series .... again, using their cheaper manufacturing facility.
All the other brands you mentioned are popular in 3rd world countries due to their affordable costs. They are acceptable in quality but are certainly not in the same league as the Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC etc.
If you look up any decent gadget review site you will be able to see the same.
You be happy with your tecno phone, I know I am happy with my IPhone. No wahala bro

And by "the same league" you mean.........?

BlackBaron:
That Sir, is conjecture.
I also know quite a number of people with broken/cracked iphone screens...But I stopped short of calling iphone 'fragile'

Do you think he will believe you? He's in love with Apple or probably iPhone, and as far as he is concerned iPhone is the best thing made by man so far in this world.
To each their own I guess.


SENT FROM MY GIONEE SMARTPHONE.

Decale:


Best record in durability and drop test? Lmao...
Do me one favour, stop following reviews like your life depend on it and get these phones trying them out....

In my 2* years of life, I've only seen two shattered iPhones but the number of Samsung phones wey their screen don break fit give man ebola

We can claim anything on the internet I guess?

ollah1:

You are wrong. HTC has the best design and integration is the Android world but their camera is sub par. Sony isn't doing a bad job with -proof and PS4 play while Samsung don't have good design language but has the best features. Yes Touchwiz lags but it packs more features than other OEM Skins. Samsung flagships survive more drop test than others.

Their hatred for Samsung made them turn blind eye to the truth.
I bet they never heard of bending aluminum or shattered glass. This is synonymous with apple iPhones.
Samsung has the best record so far in drop test and phone durability. DESIGN AND CHOICE OF MATERIAL IS DIFFERENT FROM BUILD QUALITY.

texazzpete:

Of course the 5S has a better design. But if it had a 4.7" screen and the specs of the 6, it wouldn't be a 5S anymore.


I think Apple's lost the plot with the iPhone, though. The Home button is now a trap for them, a millstone around their necks. They'll never be able to get rid of those huge bezels and their famed leadership in design may soon come to an end.

Exactly my thought when I saw the phone. The home button is just too big and those bezels made the phone ugly. VERY UGLY.

Decale:

Nvidia? Wouldn't trust that soc for anything...

Nvidia made unsatisfactory SOCs in the past, but Tegra K1 is worth a try. Not on a smartphone BTW because the heat will be too much. It's best use should be on tablets. But the Desktop class Kepler gpu it came with is in a class of it's own.
Not even the PowerVR: GX6650(hexacore) gpu in iPhone 6 comes close to this behemoth.

Decale:


An app launcher? and you said I should ask techies?

Get an iPhone 5s and galaxy s4, take pics and compare and stop yammering...
The gpu of iPhone 6 beats any competition out there maybe on par with the T760....
The soc beats any out there, it's battery management is a beauty on only 1440mAh, incredibly light, premium build, etc

Should I go on?

Like I said earlier, only TECHIES will understand what I mean.

collinsobinna: Even when there isn't network,you can make calls with an iPhone 6 by simply using wifi cos of the LTE.

Finger print protection.

Apple Watch adds a new dimension to the way you communicate. In just a glance it shows you who’s contacting you. It even gets your attention the way another person would — by tapping you. There are subtle audio cues, too. The experience is discreet and nuanced, with different types of notifications having their own unique character.

How old are you?

collinsobinna: The iPhone 6 is also the first to introduce the apple pay system which allows you pay for items by just putting your finger on the home button which is a fingerprint reader. No need to bring out your debit or credit cards


iPhone 6 is also the first to introduce reachability which enables users of the phone to operate with one hand despite the increase in size. It enables them bring the apps closer to their finger by double tapping the home button.

It's obvious you are living in a cave.

I think the iPhone 6 is a good phone and ahead of its peers.

iPhone 6 has a health feature that can tell you how many calories you burn in a day,if you climb stairs it will note that as am exercise and advise you on how to move,stand,exercise for most of the day to enable you achieve optimism fitness.

It has a fingerprint reader.

It has Siri that can read your emails,tell you your location and so many other things.

It s going to be linked with the upcoming I watch which can also track how many minutes you ve spent in a day standing.it monitors your movement.

Taps you when you have a phone call

Allows you to tap other apple watch users.
Or draw signs such as heart shapes and send to them
It has a gold edition and has different styles and different faces

You can make a slow motion video

It appears you have not had access to internet for a very long time. All the things you pointed out have been in Android phones for ages. ALL OF THEM.

Decale: Seriously in 2014 people still believe picture quality is all about MP?
Even s4 can't take better pictures than iPhone 5s....


And what's with the dual-core, 1gb ram bash?

Peeps can be ignorant oooo

S4 can't take better pictures than iPhone 5s, where did you get that from? As for the issue of smoothness, iPhone is smooth with such mediocre specs because IOS is not a true OS, it's simply an app launcher. IOS can't do TRUE multi-tasking.
Only TECHIES will understand what I mean.

lestat:

Bro trust me when you see it, you would be blown away, my cousin just showed me one over Skype, the phone is absolutely fabulous!!! this pic doesn't do it justice, its way way finer. the iphone6 is very very sexy bro

Your cousin showed a phone that's not yet released to the market.
Hmm. You are a terrible liar. SMH.
