A few days ago Apple presented the new iPhone 6S at an event that took place in the city of San Francisco. Next Friday this mobile device from Cupertino will hit the market in an official way and despite its price it has a resounding success assured for many reasons. However, many like me find it a real sacrilege to buy an iPhone with an absolutely exorbitant price and when In the market there are much better terminals in terms of performance and that can also be purchased for almost half of euros of which an iPhone is worth.
I am aware that this article is going to generate a great controversy among all those who defend the iPhone and Apple above all else, and those who think like me. For better or for worse, someone must have dared to do this article, and I have been chosen, so here we go.
Open your eyes wide and as I always say, take out paper and pencil if you want to take notice because next I am going to show you 6 smartphones better than the iPhone 6S that are also much cheaper.

As we said at the beginning of the article, we are aware that this article is going to generate a great controversy among the defenders and critics of the iPhone, but what we do not want is that this controversy ends in insults and expletives and yes in an interesting debate. To start or continue it, you can make use of the space reserved for comments or send us your opinion through any of the social networks in which we are present.
Do you think that any of the smartphones that we have reviewed today are above the iPhone 6S in terms of performance and specifications?.
Meh, they could be cheaper and even better specs, they will never beat apple ...
I think it depends a lot on each user, don't you think?
A greeting!
No smartphone is better than the iPhone 6s and less a bq and a one plus two ???
We have very different opinions. Are you 100% sure of what you say?
I have used several Android smartphones for years and I have helped almost all my family and friends to choose their terminals, each one with their tastes always tells me what I feel at the end, I always change brands for different reasons, Samsung its interface is horrible , Sony's design very unwieldy, etc, etc, the lg g2 did convince me for a while, but everyone falls into the same thing, they become slow, disorganized, they get a thousand viruses, they get depressed in a few months and that Despite so much specification, very few are useful because the system is bad and you know it because of the diversification, I don't want to talk about the camera because, regardless of the megapixels, almost nobody is satisfied with the photos they take ... Until I buy an iPhone 5s and I will never return to Android apps of fluid quality photos that if I like a beautiful design, little by little my friends and family are trying it? And it fascinates them, it is true it is expensive but at the time of selling something that you simply love is not depreciated, you should see the common user experience that is the type of consumer that moves the market not from geek with the specifications, but because every android company in the end loses, and Apple raises ??
You will have different opinions, but he has used your same arguments, none. And no, the specifications on paper when compared to the iPhone are not a solid argument.
No smartphone is better than the iPhone 6s and less a bq and a one plus two ??? the iPhone with its own ecosystem is the best of all
You are freaking out Ronny is pure rubbish.The iPhone they sell you the motorcycle is a mid-range mobile at a high price just for having the apple
Do not say that the iPhone is a mid-range smartphone when every year it bursts the Top 1 in benchmarks, if it were a «pure mid-range garbage», Samsung would not be copying the colors and model names, Meizu copying the designs, Qualcomm swallowing its words about the jump to 64 bits that is now the new standard, Google plagiarizing the fingerprint reader on the smartphone, Huawei plagiarizing the Force Touch (with painful results) and those that remain to be incorporated, and a long etc ...
My conclusion is, the iPhone (6, 6s ..) is not the best in the world but it is one of the best, it is clear that everyone will have their tastes and preferences, I also accept that iPhones are too expensive (justifiable if we talk about marketing strategies), but iPhones are not garbage or mid-range, they are premium smartphones, high-end and the best of this.
I shit on the apple
Friend ... Only the devalued iron does not make a cell phone better ... Yes, explain to me how an iPhone runs better and faster applications with 1/3 of the specifications of these IPhone CLONES? Simple, my friend ... it's called YEARS integration of HW and SW, which as long as the others continue to use Android, they will continue to be clones of the Smartphone world.
Well each one with his theme… ..but what I calm with my S6 Edge a beast, 80% charge in 1/2 hour checked, camera in 2 seconds… and with Android always… bad experience with the iPhone 4s …… What I can say is that people do not know that iPhone OS versions keep changing and non-new equipment becomes obsolete that is the apple business, in Android the situation is different, you have a number of models to choose from. and with good features and they do not force you to change your OS version ..... what if everyone will know what they do with their money and in things of taste there is nothing written ......
A gazillion cores, tons of RAM, 4K displays ... And the user experience is always a lot worse than that of iPhone and its iOS
Uncontrolled power is useless, as the ad said, and today the iPhone with its most humble specs leaves all its Android adversaries in their panties.
Much faster, more stable and reliable.
The union between hardware and IPhone operating system make the cupertino phone far above all other android in terms of experience.
Many android people travel to IOS, I know very few that go to android and stay
Sure, that's why an iPhone 4s has an update to iOS 9, a team that was presented no less than in 2011, 4 years ago. How much will Samsung update your galaxy s6, a year? You are still lucky and update it two.
The half-life of updates of any iPhone is double that of any android.
We'll see. It is not the phone, it is the compatibility with computers and tablets. an example of a thousand I can answer the mobile from the Mac computer or from the ipad. Also the reliability of software and hardware of the same brand
There is no better smart phone than Apple, no matter how much Samsung wants to overcome it and the others there is no way to have an iPhone in hand and enjoy their own iOS software and the quality that their AppStore offers you the best in the world, whatever the users say. resentful of android who have to stay with android because many cannot have an iPhone Samsung has to change all the actions of the software because apple won the lawsuit Samsung infringed apple patents and now it has to change or it will not be able to continue selling poor copy phones.
What nonsense of fights of which is better and worse I have an android and a second-hand iphone it is not necessary to be rich and one day I have one and another day and solved
It is not the same to run 400 apps (which is great) at 2.5 Ghz, than to run 3 to 1.5 Ghz ... It is not that iPhone is the super super, it is that they do not have much to kill themselves with ... while Android, we load our terminals with everything what we want, obviously sacrificing their HW, bad practice that has nothing to do with the famous INTEGRATION (which is the same in both cases, then obviously, if there is no integration, we would not be comparing against Android, but against MS) ... so , do not draw things, Iphone is more expensive for simple marketing reasons (exclusivity (they envaucan the one who is left)) and could get to "perform better" with less HW for having less to do ... simple!
I can not disagree with you more, to start loading a certain number of apps does not depend on the frequency of the CPU (GHz) but on the amount of RAM, and to continue I will tell you that the iPhone have found 1GB more than The vast majority of Android terminals with 3, if you want to waste such a large amount of resources to do the same or less there, the iPhone 6s has 2 GB of RAM, wait to see our reviews and you will see how an entire smartphone market is eaten with 3 and 4 GB, with 8-core processors and others, which only serves to use more energy and waste more materials.
I think the galaxy s6 should be included both the normal and the edge (curved screen). I say this because they gave me the option to try the iPhone 6 (I don't think there is much difference with the 6 S) for a month and the galaxy s6 edge for another month and the Samsung won by a landslide in screen, camera, duration and speed battery charge, speed of processing information, simplicity, etc.

They double cpu, double camera, triple megapixels, and see which one records slowmo 240fps at 720p like not the 6s, but the 6.
And not everything is cpu and ram, let's see who assembles an audio set (DAC + amplifier) as Apple has done since the first iPhone. Only meizu could shade him with the mx4 pro onwards. For a reason it was the Chinese competitor at the time of the first iPods.
I have had android and iOS. I love the freedom of android, but nowadays even an iPhone 4 firecracker has audio characteristics that even mobile phones from 300e onwards.
And that they did not mention the huawei ascend mate 7 (already something past, but current). The iphone 6S is a baby from the breast to the side. While iOS is still learning to use the phablet format and 12mp cameras, with android I manage my connected devices with voice commands wherever I am. That alone shows how outdated iOS is and how fanatical its people are. Overall, they don't even have a decent keyboard (it doesn't have the row of numbers along with the letters) and they swear it's useful. Anyway. To each his own theme.
Let's see ... that in specifications they are better does not mean that in general they are better phones than an iPhone 6s.
I have Android by the way, and I work in the sector, I don't like Ios because of its closed system, but I have to admit that it is a very well finished terminal and OPTIMIZED to the max. or with its hardware, not because of more power it is better than another ... it has to be demonstrated on a daily basis.
And there we have the Iphone ... with its camera of only 8 or 13mpx vs all the rest ... its screen, its application optimization and much more ...
On the contrary, we can only do with it what Apple allows us ... and this is where the great asset of android comes in.
the Lg g4 great terminal but ruined by its battery ...
Mi4 a terminal already in disuse .. be careful but very good and powerful but I would have put a Mi Note Pro ...
Mx5 with quite a few glitches in its so Flyme
One Plus still somewhat green and aesthetics not very careful with respect to its competition ...
Bq very good company behind very attentive to its clients but the quality of the materials is not comparable.
By the way I am pro Android but I recognize that you cannot compare terminals so different ... and I do everything from my Meizu mx5 and soon u Redmi Note 2
regards
We agree Skurdo that the iPhone is a very good terminal, I have not said otherwise. However, I think there are better or equal quality smartphones for a much lower price.
A greeting!
???? It's like comparing a Toyota to a Mercedes benz, is this article a joke? Where are the cameras? Hahaha you have to have the courage to say that a phone or any phone is better than an iPhone or some Apple product, really how are you going to compare a Toyota with a Mercedes benz? Apple is the Ferrari and the Mercedes Benz of phones and products, other items have been Toyota Hyundai and other bullshit, I used Android and iOS and really nothing like Apple!
That phone has more Ram for example does not make it better simply less efficient.Every device has an architecture, Apple mobiles have the same Ram and they work wonderfully that is why it is well structured. Also, let's not compare plastic with aluminum 6000 and 7000 things are as they are. Apple is a brand for privileged people and whoever bothers to see what they have done with their life.
Do you know what it is like to have the iPhone 5S since it came out? And I still have it, why is it that it is still powerful as the first day I took it out of the box? I sell phones for the only thing that those chinadas and those cheap copies of android and their crap are for is to sell it to fools I think that no matter how better an android is, it must cost the maximum 100 euros and it is too much Hahaha, it is incredible my phone for two years without ever closing the App, no factory reset, no reboots, no damaged battery, no problems of any kind? I think Apple has a pact with a being from another planet? why is it amazing what they do !!!
What makes me laugh the most is a friend who has a Galaxy S6 and some of those who have android is that you walk with thousands of Apple cleaning RAM App with brushes and crazy things seem like housewives they just spend it cleaning everywhere Hahaha is more I think the company delivered it with a factory App to clean RAM and system Hahaha I'm dying ????….
You come to criticize the iPhone and to compare it you have to take out 3 different terminals! LOL. Long live objectivity. Here it is said that the iPhone is the most compensated terminal, that we do not need the iOS users that it measures 23 centimeters like you, the android people with your specs, that our terminal is the most balanced between performance-operating system and that is a true fact. Also, convince yourself that any user of IOS is delighted with its mobile and its operation, and you are looking for if Samsung, Sony, Htc, Xiaomi, Lg, to see which is the IPhone killer.
It is not about going in Ferrari or Mercedes, it is about reliability, comfort of use, user experience, and that, whatever you wear, neither has android had it nor does it have it, with its zillion cores, RAM, screens and the rest.
Price? The same as an iPhone, reliability or similar. And within 7 months of installing and uninstalling applications, you come and compare.
You are just as foolish trying to deny the older one.
What do the others have more numbers? Yes. Which work worse? Too.
So stick with your android, iOS people are doing great with our iPhone.
