Display

Apple has had a habit of increasing the screen size of each of its new editions of iPhone and the same is the case for iPhone 6 Plus. The 5.5 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen of the iPhone 6 Plus is the crowning glory of this handset and is substantially larger than all previous versions of iPhone. The amazing Retina HD display makes the larger screen an even bigger treat for the user. The screen resolution of the iPhone 6 Plus is 401 PPI which is even higher than the iPhone 6.

Under the Hood

Similar to the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus also has the revolutionary Apple A8 chip present at its heart. It is this 64-bit chip that makes the iPhone 6 Plus an efficient device and allows you to keep on using it for longer periods of time despite having a larger screen. The CPU powering the iPhone 6 Plus is a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone which is quite fast and allows you to use multiple apps at the same time without experiencing any lag whatsoever. The GPU fitted in the iPhone 6 Plus is a PowerVR GX6650 that is capable of showing hexa-core graphics.

OS

The iPhone 6 Plus runs on the iOS 8 which is Apple’s most advanced and feature-filled mobile operating system to date. Since the handset and the operating system have been developed side by side, they complement each other very beautifully. There is a new feature introduced iOS 8 by the name of Handoff which allows the users to complete their projects that they have started on the iPhone 6 Plus on their IMac or iPad.

Memory Storage

The iPhone 6 Plus has a 2GB RAM which is higher than RAM of the iPhone 6. This makes the iPhone 6 Plus even faster and allows the users to use the heaviest of apps without encountering any difficulties. There is no SD card slot available in the iPhone 6 Plus which means that you would have to contend with the 16GB internal memory that comes with the phone. The iPhone 6 Plus is also available in 64GB and 128GB versions as well.

Camera

The iPhone 6 Plus has an 8 Mega Pixel iSight camera on the back which is capable of capturing stunning images.

Battery

The larger screen size of the iPhone 6 Plus might give you the impression that it would have a very small battery life but this is not the case. On the contrary, the iPhone 6 Plus has a much improved and longer battery life than most of its competitors. The reason behind the extended battery life of the iPhone 6 Plus is the efficiency of the A8 chip which manages every process very diligently so that minimum power is used.

Bottom Line

Although the iPhone 6 Plus is a big improvement on the iPhone 5S and has a lot going for it with its large Retina HD display and a vastly improved A8 chip, it is still not able to compete with the latest Galaxy series of Smartphones introduced by Samsung.
