Specifications of Apple iPhone 6 Plus (Gold, 128 GB)

In this test the Apple iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5 inch screen has to face the big smartphones from the Android competition. More performance, more resolution, more visible area. This is the trend that has come from the Asian market, but will Apple and iOS 8 be able to compete with these?

Bigger, faster, better. What used to be applied to the car industry for a long period, now is working for the smartphones as well. The Samsung Galaxy Note series sells very good in Asia and manufacturer like LG, Huawei, Acer and Sony play in the 5 inch league as well. After the upgrade to the iPhone 5s Apple has been analyzing the market very carefully and they listened to the iOS fans.With the iPhone 6 and the here relevant Apple iPhone 6 Plus they again fulfill the wish of their customers.

iPhone 6 Plus Gold case: new style, high-grade aluminum

What we usually do miss with Samsung smartphones is standard with Apple - a case made of aluminum. The Apple iPhone 6 Plus back cover and side edge is also swathed in metal. Compared to the iPhone 5s the 6 Plus has a way more rounded form, so you won't find any sharp edges on this iOS smartphone. The front side has been classically glazed and the gold version that we tested today is white framed. Subjectively the display margins of the iPhone 6 Plus attract more attention than the iPhone 5s.

iPhone 6 Price In Nepal

Apple iPhone Price

Apple has announced three new devices yesterday, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus and Apple watch. With the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, Apple is clearly moving to a new direction (bigger is better). Last year when iPhone 5s was launched with 4inch display, Apple said 4inch display is perfect for one hand use. Also there was a time when Apple’s fans used to make to fun of Samsung devices saying it’s too big to use by one hand. But as we all know 4inch devices are just too small on today’s date and I think Apple made a right decision by bringing to new devices with two different sizes. So without any further ado let’s find out the key specifications of new iPhone 6.

iPhone 6 specifications:

Dimensions: 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm (129gm)
Display: 4.7inch LED-backlit IPS LCD with a resolution of 750x1334pixels (326ppi)
Processor: Apple A8 Dual-core 1.4GHz CPU with PowerVR GX6650 GPU
Memory: 1GB RAM, 16/64/128 GB internal storage with no microSD card slot
OS: iOS 8
Camera: 8MP rear camera with autofocus and true tone flash, 1.2MP front facing camera
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.0, NFC, 4G LTE
Sensors: Touch ID, Barometer, Three-axis gyro, Accelerometer, Proximity and Ambient light sensor
Battery: Non-removable lithium-ion battery

iPhone 6 design

iPhone 6 now comes with rounded edges and thin body which makes this device very comfortable to use by one hand. Also if your thumb is not reaching to the top of the display then you can always double tap on the home button to bring the user interface closer to the thumb. With new A8 CPU and PowerVR GX6650 GPU, iPhone 6 delivers 20% faster CPU and 50% faster GPU performance compared to last year iPhone 5s even though iPhone 6 still comes with just 1GB of RAM.

iPhone 6 comes with 8MP iSight camera but Apple says it can takes better photos compared to last year iPhone 5s. 8MP rear camera can record 1080p video at 60fps and slo-mo video up to 240fps. But still iPhone 6 camera lacks 4k video recording and OIS which can makes some of the apple’s fans sad and android fans happy.

Finally NFC has made its way to iPhone 6 which will help you to make a wireless payment through Apple Pay which is useless in Nepal. And lastly talking about the battery life of iPhone 6, you can get up to 14hrs of talk time on 3G, 11hrs of internet use on Wi-Fi, 11hrs of video playback and 50hrs of audio playback.

iPhone 6 will not launch in Nepal officially but like always you can by iPhone 6 from gray market. Usually iPhones are imported from HongKong in Nepal and iPhone 6 will be available from September 19 in Hongkong at HK$5,588 for 16GB model. So iPhone 6 might hit the Nepalese market after September 19.  We might also expect the price of iPhone 6 in Nepal somewhere between Nrs.80000-90000 for 16GB version. But if you look back to the history, iPhone fans has bought iPhone 5 and 5s paying more than 1lakh in Nepal at the beginning of the launch. But still take the price as a grain of salt. I will update the price of iPhone 6 as soon as it will hit the Nepalese market.
