Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[shadow]

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.



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.

Jialbroken jut. [emoji3]

But seriously I think this will be my last jail broken I gadgets. Pag labas ng IOS 9. Hinde na siguro.

Sana by iOS9 ilagay na nila yung 3G shortcut haha.

Or gandahan ang battery life para hindi ko na kailangan ioff ang 3G.

I noticed though, not a single mention of battery life in the Apple event.

EDIT: Apple reduced the 6S' battery from 1810 to 1715 mAh. So mukhang stuck pa rin tayo sa 1-day battery life (which reduces to half a day after a year or so).

[Monseratto]

Wait for a Android app like Live Shot. It is just a photo with an attached 4k video. Takaw iyan sa memory so it might not take off. Actually luma na concept since Canon video cameras have that...

Battery pack.

Battery pack.

Defeats the purpose of a slim phone as I have to bring my powerbank all the time. Super hassle.

Ganun talaga. iPhone naman! [emoji23] i don't even bring powerbank dito I can basically charge anywhere. As soon as I get in the car charge na.

Sometimes sa mall if low batt I go into a power Mac store and charge my phone there.

And I don't turn off my data. 24/7 kahit sa bahay I don't connect to wifi. I just need to turn off my LTE this past few days dahil meron daw enhancement na ginagawa that's why I can't get any LTE signal but as soon as it's up LTE all the way.

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.

Tapos ngayon binago na nila yung "waterproof" stand nila. Wag na daw gamitin underwater. Samantalang yung previous promo videos ng Z series pinagmamalaki pa pwede mag take ng pictures underwater since may dedicated shutter button naman. Pero IP68 rating pa din naman yung Z5 series.

Haay Sony ano nanaman nangyayari sa inyo. If their prices were significantly less madami naman bibili, madami na turnoff sa price tapos di pa available sa mga carriers.

Their phones are also unusable in seawater -- understandable naman siguro, seawater is an electrolyte.

i was seriously considering the z3c a few months ago, purely because of the IP rating. But then nawalan ako ng gana when i heard about the Z4/Z3V/Z5. With that many flagships in such a short time, duda ako that they will provide updates for all. Nagpabili na lang ako ng Moto G ^_^

[ch_an]

m8 is the best phone for me for the past 2 years. it does everything i need.. surf, email, occasional gaming, taking photos even in low light, phone calls. 2 years and still as good as new. it still is the most beautiful phone out there.

+1 on this, I'm also using M8, still the best phone I've used.

[jefbuan]

Actually Sony's software support (at least for the Z series) is great. More than 2 years old na phone ko pero kakaupdate ko lang ng 5.1.1 nung isang gabi, tinetest na naman nila ngayon Android M kasama pa din yung first generation Z. Got it pre installed with 4.1 Jelly Bean btw.

Ok naman sana Xperias, mas sikat nga lang ngayon Apple and Sony. Tska ang bilis nila maglabas ng bago, kinda like Samsung too na may A, E, J, S, Note series bukod pa yung low end.

Iphone fanatics makes me smirk all the time, they love their iphones one just have to give them that for theres a saying that LOVE IS BLIND

i havnt tinkered with computers when i was a teenager for we cant afford one. But now i know technology really well (from my engineering background) and the apple badge doesnt impress me except for being fashionable and the people who loves it have a fashionable personality

I wont argue with you what makes android better than iphone its plain and simple its FUNCTIONALITY.

I feel DUMB using an iphone and feel a whole lot SMARTER using an android. Thats speaks about my personality i prefer function over fashion. To each their own, right?

Apple looks good on the outside but not inside thats why next iteration focuses on boosting the SPEED. Typically same banana but a tad faster

Totally agree with you. Mas ok sa low-tech people ang iphone. like my oldies relatives kaysa android. Napakahirap turuan pag android ang gamit. Pero smooth ang turo pag apple. I also dont like apple for my personal use

[Walter]

Hope Apple would consider designing function over form. Like increase the thickness a little bit to put in a bigger battery. Sticking with Android for now because of battery life.

Jony Ive's reasoning for the "perception" of iPhone's shorter battery life is that people are using their iPhones more hence the shorter battery life.

What else do you want from a smartphones? iPhones in particular? I can browse the net, received emails, sms/calls. Are there any things that's I'm missing? [emoji16]

Ano ba meron androids phone that I can't do with my iPhone?

It's like clockworks, as soon as Apple comes out with a new models. Mga "hi-tech" android users naglalabasan. Ano ba yan!

Bulok iPhone eh do bulok. What's the fuss? It's not like apple users are using androids owner's money to buy their iPhones. [emoji23]

[KenGarcia]

IMHO it boils down to preferences. Tulad ng friends ko na nagtatanong kung ano mas maganda Android ba or Apple, lagi ko lang sinasabi na if specs wise and value for money I will go for Android, pero if they can afford an iPhone why not? Go for it.

Pansin ko lang the past few iterations of iPhone, they are going beyond the concept of Steve Jobs. He once said who needs a big phone? Here comes the Iphone 6 plus. And now the stylus, Apple with their Pencil. I guess it is the competition against Android.

Napansin ko rin, madalas may panglalait yung mga Android fanatics sa iPhone users. Laging kailangan patunayan na superior yung Android and engot mga iPhone user o kaya di marunong bumili ng "best value".

Ang akin lang, if your personal appraisal of your intellect is affected by your choice of phone, you don't seem very intelligent at all. And unless it's your money (or your taxes), you don't really have any business meddling with the spending preferences of others.

I don't see other people bashing people who buy Elba gas ranges over GE or Grohe bathroom fixtures over American Standard, yet obviously one brand is exorbitantly more expensive than the other. Pero pag iPhone, dami laging comment!

[LancerA174A]

I mean Samsung pala and Apple sikat sa previous post ko hehe.

Nasawa na ako makipag talo kung ano ba mas maganda. Why not get the best of both worlds diba, pag mas prefer mo iOS, get an iPhone then a good midrange Android. Or vice versa. May iPod touch pa naman na cheaper alternative sa iPhone.

Nagsha-share share lang naman tayo ng ideas. Kanya kanyang trip yan kung saan comfortable gamitin. Iba iba naman tayo ng use. Yung iba call and text lang. Yung iba ginagawang parang laptop use ang phone. Yung iba camera lang. Yung iba ginagawang psp. Puro laro ang laman. Whatever fits to you
