Numbers are debatable.. Asus have global releases, while xiaomi have limited markets..

Sales can be measured, but satisfaction is really subjective..

I've known a few zenfone users that ended up buying a xiaomi..

I bought xiaomi mi4i at lazada 2weeks ago, tis a lot better than may daughter's zenfone 5. The only minor problem that I experience is the opening my mi account. hope this helps.

The iPhone 6S was announced last night, and everything was according to expectations - basically a faster iPhone 6 with a better camera.

To be honest, each smartphone launch isn't revolutionary anymore. The best thing that's happened to Samsung S series is that it finally looks good. For Apple, it's basically a larger screen with a nice camera.

But since I'm due to change phones this year, I'll most likely pick up a 6S, just for the camera improvements. It's still too bulky bringing my SLR, but I also hate grainy images so the vastly upgraded camera of the 6S is enough reason for me to get it over the 6.

This is the reason why we get an iphone at the start of its cycle. We get to maximize the phone's aesthetics until the 2 year contract is up.

Don't want to try a Note 5 or an Xperia 5?
I have a Note 4 and the camera is great and they say the new Note is even better.

I used to be on the non-S cycle (I currently have an iPhone 5) but I decided to skip the 6 and go for the 6S for its better internals. Of course, you give up 1 year of aesthetics, but it makes up for better longevity.

I already have a Samsung and it doesn't feel anywhere as easy to use as my iPhone. I just use it because it has a Playstation and Gameboy emulator, which you can't do on the iPhone unless you jailbreak. [emoji23]

january 2016 pa tapos ng contract ko, now i'm not sure if i'll jump to android, medyo nakakasawa na yung iOs and yung iphone, wala naman na nagbabago. natry ko na yung iphone 6 plus, medyo awkward kapag magddial ka. ang hirap abutin ng mga numbers unlike ng note 3.

Really wish Sony would ditch their 6-month flagship cycle. Wala pang 1 year lumabas Z3+/Z4 tapos may Z5 na. Next year sa MWC malamang may Z5+ nanaman. Though most probably incremental update lang to polish the possible flaws in Z5.

Yes. Masyadong mabilis ung 6-month cycle.

[badkuk]

imho, that's a sign that their flagships phones aren't selling too well, kaya scramble sila to come up with a hit. For some reason their waterproof strategy didn't click.

The thing nice about Android is it's quicker to switch Data on / off. It's just in the pull down notification menu. Plus there's the ever useful notification light on some units.

If one is willing to sacrifice porma over functionality then android it is

Apples iphone used to be sophisticated but with the advent of android its relegated to SIMPLICITY

Competition is good for it brings out the best in engineering, manufacturing & marketing

That's exactly what I like. Simplicity. All I do with my phone is text, call, take pictures, go on social media, surf the net, and Waze.

Sa Android pag tinype mo name ng contact sa messages, hindi kagad lalabas yung buong messaging history. If you wanna see the entire messaging history you have to search it in the inbox.

Sa photos yung android ang tindi ng shutter lag and boot time ng app. S6 palang nagagamit ko na mabilis, eh yung iPhone since 4S mabilis na.

Little stuff that specs don't show but make my life easier. Sa totoo lang natatawa ako sa marketing ng Apple kasi kung makasalita parang tanga yung mga tao na sunud sunuran lang kasi yung ibang claims nila ang OA eh napakasimpleng bagay lang. But what I have to give to Apple is that their products are designed in such a way that I find it easier to use.

Of course there are also some annoyances like not being able to transfer files to PCs without iTunes, or having to go inside settings to turn off 3G, or not being able to run emulator apps, or having to pay for good apps (Android has better free apps).

I've been tinkering with computers even before I was a teenager so it's not because I'm a technophobe. But I like to keep my day-to-day interactions with my phone simple.

I have that in iPhone. [emoji16]

Naka-JB iPhone mo? If this isn't a JB app, do you mind sharing? It'll be a big help for me.

Ayoko na magJB kasi hassle pag may new update ng iOS. Yung lumang iPod touch ko nalang yung nakaJB.
