It's noteworthy that while Apple uses a custom version of Sony's camera sensor for iPhone 6/6s, Samsung also uses Sony's IMX240 sensor in its Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, at least in the versions it sends to reviewers. Regular users are finding that Samsung might also swap in its own ISOCELL camera sensors to save money, resulting in reduced image quality.
Oh my. . . Samsung was caught once before in cheating on their benchmarks testing by swapping out the normal routines when ever the system sensed benchmark testing software by turning off all background system functions, turbo boosting the processor clocks, and turning on all non-usual optimization routines for the sensed benchmarks test, which were against all the testing rules, to spoof the results. Sending test samples to reviewers that are NOT the same as the retail version strikes me as being in the same category, intending to get higher review ratings for their cameras than the product the consumers will be buying. Paging VW?
Apple is falling behind in several areas. What’s funny, in the few areas they have a lead it only lasts a few months. Certainly not enough to command much of a premium price.
Does it tell time?
Talk about a biased article...
A competitor comes out with similar features at half the price? Wow.. that’s never happened before.
Samsung Gear VR Review: Virtual Reality Finds Its Atari Moment
http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung-gear-vr-review-virtual-reality-finds-its-atari-moment-1448028206
“For just $100, a headset that combines Samsung hardware with Oculus software addresses hurdles—like nausea—that have kept virtual reality from going mainstream.”
Yet, Apple Watch came to market more than a year after Samsung brought theirs to market. In general, Apple trails other tech companies, in most ‘innovations’, even as they might release something to market which seems to not be in other non-Apple devices.
Apple recently ‘innovated’ by coming out with a “Pro” version of their iPad. Nobody had ever thought of a similar ‘pro’ tablet before. :-) Let’s not forget that, Apple was also the first smartphone maker to introduce larger screens t the smartphone space. They were also first with NFC technology for smartphones. They were also first with fingerprint ID, and soon, they’ll also be first with some sort of eye-print for user recognition, and they’ll also be first with a hybrid computer that does PC type work and tablet type work on one device.
Apple: the biggest ‘innovator’ with bringing old technology to their devices.
BTW, didn’t Apple also invent high-definition screes, 4k screens?
Come to think of it, without Apple, technology would still be in the stone-age, where everybody would be copying Moses with his idea for inscribing the ten commandments.
I hear Apple will also be inventing the driverless cars, and the infotainment systems in cars.
Apple: the god of tech, and the initiator of a ‘new religion’, called the Apple-cult.
There are better Android phones than Samsung, there are Android phones that can run circles around Samsung and Apple.
Samsung is like the Chevy of Phones, Apple is like a Mercedes, but Android has 100s of manufactures out there.
There are phones with dual sides, flexible, hardened, screens on the side, etc.... out there ... and even more specialty phones for specific activities
Both Apple and Samsung steal these ideas from the larger specialty phone market then improve on them for the larger market place. They are both “Me Too” phone companies.
Bringing processor design into the company a few years back added that last piece of the puzzle. I'm reminded of a quote from the car business, from the late Carroll Shelby -- "there's no substitute for cubic inches."
Just more of your Apple propaganda. I don’t see why Jim puts up with it unless you are paying him.
