Features, Performance, and Reviews for the iPhone 6 Plus
IPhone 6 Plus's size
The iPhone 6 Plus is 3.1 inches (77.8 mm) wide, 6.2 inches (158.1 mm) tall, and 0.3 inches (7.1 mm) thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the iPhone 6 Plus, it weighs about 172 oz (172 g). It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.
In giving an overall rating to the iPhone 6 Plus, while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.
IPhone 6 Plus's screen
The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch screen. The smartphone has a large, impressive screen, which allows you to enjoy photos and videos to the fullest. It is also very good for writing business documents and doing other work.
The screen of the iPhone 6 Plus is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.
The CPU performance of iPhone 6 Plus
The processing performance of the iPhone 6 Plus is quite low at 1.4GHz×2(Dual core), and you may find minor issues even while browsing the internet or Twitter.
The iPhone 6 Plus only has 1GB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.
In rating the iPhone 6 Plus's overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.
IPhone 6 Plus's storage capacity
The iPhone 6 Plus has 128GB of data storage, which is perfect for people who frequently take photos and videos. It is suited to taking both photos and videos, and is unlikely to feel inconvenient even with lots of apps or games installed.
The iPhone 6 Plus is not compatible with SD cards, so make sure you check that there's enough storage for your needs.
The camera function of iPhone 6 Plus
The main camera of the iPhone 6 Plus has a capacity of 8 MP pixels, and is adequate for normal use. But some users may feel dissatisfied with the picture quality.
The iPhone 6 Plus comes equipped with a 2 MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.
The battery performance of iPhone 6 Plus
The iPhone 6 Plus has a relatively large battery with 2915 mAh. The iPhone 6 Plus has a good battery life compared to other smartphones. You won't feel stressed even if you spend all day surfing the web or on Twitter and you can also watch videos or play games on the go without having to worry too much about the battery. If you watch videos or play games for too long, however, you might want to watch your battery a bit.
Overall assessment of iPhone 6 Plus
The iPhone 6 Plus is a relatively high-performance smartphone. If you plan to use it as your main smartphone, you may find it slightly inconvenient, but within tolerable limits.
The merits and demerits of iPhone 6 Plus
