Samsung or Apple
 

Can you guys help me decide? I clearly want a phone that has a good camera both front and back and that has a good graphics for playing.

Samsung is better for games as its more accesable but im pretty sure apples camrea is better, Id go with samsung because theyre just more reliable. Plus its easier and better to use.

Samsung/Android all the way. Apple products are merely fashion accessories. They serve very little practical use outside of looking hip and stupid.

i have the s7 edge and its ok at best

wonky gps, samsung preinstalls apps that are a pain to remove, and no cool features like double tapping the screen to wake the device up like my oneplus 2 had. stick with google's flagships (pixel atm, even tho its overpriced) or those budget ones that try to stay legit android by not preinstalling a ton of their own **** (oneplus, i think moto does it too?)

Apple has the best camera quality, Samsung has best performance. I had used my iPhone 5S for Photography on the go since I don't want to carry a canon camera wherever I go, You can also edit your pictures on it using the camera/photos app which are helpful for editing contrast and etc, You can download apps on the appstore to enhance your photos more.

If you're lucky you might find a cheaper iPhone 7 Plus for a cheaper price, but you should go with Samsung if you're going to use gaming more since I find it really reliable rather than iPhones if you go with gaming, More FPS really. But having a samsung can prone you with viruses which are times harmful to your device, It really depends on preferences but I would go with iPhone since It's really useful if you're going to snap photos. But you could probably find a device which has the capabilities of both really.

If it came down to Apple vs Samsung - I'd definitely recommend Samsung, their phones are a lot more reliable. I've had both an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy and the Sumsung was a lot easier to use as well as it lasting a lot longer than the iPhone. I've never had a problem with my Samsung phone. The only upside I find to having an iPhone is that the camera is really good and apps are made specifically for certain device resolutions, but I find that iPhones always seem to have something wrong with them within a year or two, at least from my experience.

Apple Products are way too expensive for what they are, anything that isnt Apple is better

GooglePixel

I recently upgraded my S4 to an S7 and I love the S7. I don't know the camera spec differences but I just like Samsung better. Graphics on a phone are what you expect. I doubt Apple and Samsung are very different with that.

My S4 throughout the last year had some serious battery issues, though. I was charging that damn thing 3-4 times a day and if would drain battery while it wasn't even in use. It might have been a battery issue that I could have been able to fix by getting a new battery, but it might have been my outdated phone with their new updates. Either way, I think you experience obsolescence a lot more in an iPhone than you do in a Samsung.

Can't do much wrong with an One Plus 3T.

Used to be a pretty die-hard Apple fan but their recent phones are pretty lousy.

If you do end up going with Apple, don't get the iPhone 7.

I have the iPhone 7 Plus and it is fast. From turning it off and on. It is really quick and the camera is really good. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...871c6b36bd.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...21bfcb9a0e.jpg

Their new feature called. Portrait is really great. I love it but you need good lighting to use it fully.


But main issue is the headphones. I would buy the AirPods. But they are pricey and I wouldn't pay for price for them when I could easily go for another brand and use their Bluetooth headsets.

Battery life is really good. I can go a full day and half with it. And that is from me texting playing an hour or 2 of games and just about anything else.

Do I think apple is better? Hell no. But I do enjoy their phones as they are and I don't need all these other extra feature the androids has.
Their macs are great for videos editing but aren't good for gaming.

iPhone if you dont want a virus on your phone.

Android if you want all the coolest things.

Not really, you only get a virus if you are stupid enough to install pirated/unknown applications. There have been many security exploits on iPhone, some are on purpose to steal data and report it to FBI.

Lmfao by that logic you want to get a Mac so it doesn't get a virus either.

Or you know you can get a good PC for a better deal and not be a dip**** and use shady software.

You won't get a virus on your android unless you're stupid.

please leave now

Anyway, if you have the cash, buy a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium unlocked. The demand has decreased and so has the price, but that's not to say there wasn't depreciation since the release, so it's definitely worth it now, and was still worth it when it was $800. I kid you not, Sony makes the best phone cameras in the industry, so if that's really what you're looking for, go with Sony. They use Android OS, but they have their own launcher that looks really nice. The Z5 Premium is the only (or first, if they've progressed to make others with the tech since the release) phone to have a 4k resolution display, and has all the cool features of a Samsung to go with it, such as the fingerprint sensor (which is located on the side, which, in my opinion, is much more convenient). You'd think the battery life would be horrible, but compared to most other phones it's actually about average. However, relative to Sony's other products, it doesn't own up.

Apple if you're a noob.

A few years ago, I wouldve said Apple; but iOS 10 is just so awful, and the iPhone 7 having no headphones is what will tip me towards Android in a few years when my 5S needs to be replaced.

But I wouldnt recommend Samsung either. Ive always hated their hardware; and they have a bad track record with their batteries...

Are there any Android phones that are not Samsung? (and similarly priced)

Refer to my above post.

had a samsung for years was really slow and clunky,its battery was garbage and had a bad lousy camera

The only android phone that was cool was the note 7 but it blows up so I'd only reccomend it to terrorists

personally I like apples phones
Its got a better camera and has a more comfortable OS

I guess samsung might be the phone for you if you like mobile games but I have a console and a pc to play real games anyway.
Also the virus immunity is really nice on a phone.
Currently using a iphone 6S

Why not the Google Phone?

Definitely a better option, however the price is a hefty factor

Mac is alot better than Microsht and Windows.
Its really hard to get a virus on Mac.
Maybe you support microsoft because almost all games are supported on windows? Well then youre dumber than your ugly mom. Not all games are supported on Mac because they know their ***

lol wat

/troll



I've personally been using the iphone 6 for a while now and I must say it's pretty good although I do have iOS 9 still
Also idk how people claim the older iphones have good camera's, I've always had sh*tty quality pictures on ios devices

Is that actually worth it?
I heard it was garbage from completely unreliable sources

it is garbage dawg get an iphone

I've got an iPhone, my brother

It's one of the best Android phones available, it's around the same price as the iPhone 7 however so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really want to spend that kind of money.

MKBHD recently did his yearly Smart Phone Awards 2016 video, it goes into detail about the best phone in a bunch of categories. It's really useful for anyone who's looking to buy a new phone.

What a joke... he barely mentions specifications and it's all just opinion based. There are little to no objective comparisons. Not only that, but a lot of phones are left out, simply by looking at the table in front of him. They're mostly just different models of the same phone made by the same top 4 or 5 companies. I understand that he pretty much tries to limit the selection to what's available for Verizon, since it's the largest carrier, but still. To say that it's the best phone of 2016 is a pretty large statement. 4k video? Cool. No mention of the sensor size? May as well be a potato.

He doesn't have time to go into the little details in a video where he's going through so many different phones. He's done reviews of most of the devices where he goes into a lot more detail.

Which ones do you disagree with?

Nokia.

It's not a matter of which ones I disagree with, more so the fact that he doesn't take other phone manufacturers into consideration, regardless of their popularity. That's why I can't take it seriously. Thats the very reason we're drifting towards a monopolistic phone industry. However, I do have a habit of collecting off brand and historically notable/unique phones and devices so maybe it's just my interests getting the best of me.

If they're good phones, he talks about them. In the video he gives awards to ZTE, OnePlus and Xiaomi phones - none of them have a large share in the western phone market. If anything I'd say we are drifting away from the oligopoly that was previously just controlled by a few firms, new companies are constantly entering the phone market - there's more choice than there ever has been.

I can give you credit for that, as ZTE, Oneplus (I believe both of which are available or were recently available at T-Mobile), and Xiaomi probably have growing demand rates faster than Sony's dwindling demand rate, so it was definitely worth mentioning them. But here's what I don't understand: why not Sony? This was by far Sony's best year for phones technology-wise, probably trying to get back in the game after both T-Mobile and Verizon dropped them. That doesn't exempt Sony from by far exceeding in many of those categories with their 2016 line of phones.

But let's face it; we're never going to leave the oligopoly that's been so heavily established, whether it's in regard to carriers or manufacturers. I just remember walking into a T-Mobile store and seeing the abundance in phones, but the last time I walked into one I'm pretty sure I saw a tumbleweed drift across the room. That's a sign of not only manufacturers leaving the industry, but also carriers. Either that or it's cyclical and Motorola will make a comeback in 3 years.

Even HTC is slowly drifting away.

I feel like the elephant in the room is the difference between the western and eastern markets

I agree Sony make great phones, they always have done. MKBHD doesn't ignore them either, he's done videos in the past including this one here. I think the problem with Sony is that their phones are too mid-tier. They don't have as high specs as something like the Pixel or the S7, but they always have a much more reasonable price. At the same time they aren't the cheapest smartphones out there, if I wanted a budget phone I'd more likely go for something like a OnePlus. I feel like while they aren't really the best in any one category, they are the best at having that balance between price and quality.

After looking at some of their phones the XA Ultra looks to be a pretty nice budget phone. I do think Sony deserve more sales and I'm not sure why they've been doing so poorly recently.

Just get the flagshipkiller OnePlus

The Xperia Z5 premium is available by many retailers for as low as $400, which is much cheaper than the Galaxy S7. If OP is planning on purchasing a galaxy, then I think they should take a look at this comparison:

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/com...ones/9817,9612

The only downsides are the 3GB RAM vs the Galaxy's 4GB, a 300 MHz processing difference, the wireless charging which barely anyone uses anyway, and a 1.5GB difference in internal storage, which is barely anything when SD cards are an option. They both shoot in 4K, however, Xperia's sensor is larger, making it closer to "true" 4k. Speaking of 4k, Xperia has a near 4k resolution display, which barely takes a toll on battery life since they beefed up the battery size for that very reason. Galaxy has optical image stabilization, which isn't much of an advantage since Xperia has digital image stabilization. Both have fingerprint sensors and the same IP rating. I think the greatest aspect of buying the Z5 Premium is the camera and the price, and the fact that what your camera shoots is more accurately displayed, so if a good camera is what you're really looking for, go with Sony. I agree, Sony does deserve more recognition and sales for their work.

Btw I loved that review of the Z5 Premium

Apple good

Samsung bad

Ez

apple is if you want something sleek and has good camera quality. Samsung is for all the cool stuff without doing something like jailbreaking(although theres rooting for it). I have an iPhone and its fine, although when I do upgrade I want to try out Pixel or Android.

If you do get an iPhone, jailbreak it.

Your phone becomes 100x more fun.

can confirm. Plus they just released a new one.

Samsung or Apple
 

iPhone 7 plus ftw

^^^^^^

you dont even have one lol

I do

Guys, I can't decide fudge me. It has been a month now, I am still saving up although deciding is hard.

I much prefer an iPad to game with but for a phone, Android.

Neither get a pc
