vvvslaxman Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Alright we missed our usual discussions on phone and tablet releases for this year edition. iphone 6s ipad pro one of the accessory gave us lot of jokes. costing 99$ NexusNokia/windows phone/ Surface pro 4 are coming up on october 6th.
Old guy Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 i am probably getting iphone 6s (finally more ram! )ipad pro was bit of a joke but chip inside is so amazing but surpace pro over it anyday..nexus were very cool specially 6p and loved the new chromecast as they can easily just hide behind tv's now even if you have them mounted to wall and i want it badly but then i realise its kind of useless in india.microsoft event is coming soon and hopefully we can discuss it here :P
rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 One plus is coming up with one plus X with a 5 inch display soon.
rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Nexus 6p is very good but too big to be user friendly. 5x is decent too but does not the build quality of 6P. Also overpriced. 5x with a metal body like 6P would have been great even at this price range.
Old guy Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 LG released V10yes that phone will have out of world video quality..
rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 yes that phone will have out of world video quality..Why are all these companies making such huge phones?
Old guy Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Why are all these companies making such huge phones?market demand and probably easier for them to make them (fit as many specs as they can )for example the camera sensors these manufacturers are fitting with OIS are huge and i doubt any small phone will have as good picture quality compared to what they are able to fit in these big ones.and on top of that they can fit bigger battery and use chip like sd810 with less heating issue compared to fitting it in more cramped phone .also market is clearly there but i agree with you there needs to be smaller option too.. samsung,sony and apple have good phones in smallish size but real flagship of all these companies is phablet (better battery ,screen,camera ,more power etc etc )because of reasons i mentioned. looking at sales of iphone 6s its clear there is still market (heck market for even smaller phone like 5s ) but for these companies market for bigger phone is much bigger according to market research (according to motorola )..edit..in case of this lg phone ..well its meant for making videos so having huge screen will help in many ways..

It is not a huge phone, but has big camera sensor and OIS. Look at HTC, the leave so much bezel top and bottom. LG Is the best in terms of keeping the size down even with 5.5 display, their phones are more compact than any other company. V10 is big because it has dual front display. LG keeps bezels to minimum. Apple also has big bezels.
rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 even I phone 6s is bigger for a 4.7 inch phone.

Apple also has big bezels.yes but s6 has huge camera bump and mediocre battery (they had to reduce battery compared to last generation,inspite of having sealed battery which helps manufacture fit in slightly bigger battery ) so that was the compromise they made.also exynos is very efficient so that helped..apple has home button and its iconic so until they can implement it properly on screen itself it will remain there but yes bezels are huge on it.

Old guy Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 even I phone 6s is bigger for a 4.7 inch phone. i agree but they are more into thinning the phone and at that size its forgivable but 6s plus is not and that phone is bigger than phones like note which have bigger screens! lol

The reason for that camera bump is different. They keep camera behind the display instead of top of the display which is the reason for camera bump. They can easily remove the camera bump but it will increase the thickness like in Nokia phones Lumia 920 which is good 4-mm thicker than S6.

rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Lumia 920 has OIS which is not really a big phone. i dont really see much usability of phones too thin. They wont have big batteries too and big phones are not pocketable. 920 is 10.7 mm thick and I dont mind that 9-10 mm of thickness if they can fit in big batteries and keeping size pocketable.
rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Samsung could have had thickness of 8.6 instead of 6.8 with a bigger battery. I dont understand the point of making them too thin when you cant put good battery in them.

rkt.india Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 i am with you on that but thin phones sell and that is how market is..It is not about what sells, but what is presented to you. They presented and marketed thinness, people turned toward thinness. If they market battery size and life same way for their flagship phones, people will like that too. IF S6 was 8.8 mm instead of 6.8, I dont see 2 mm making a huge difference while holding it and they are packing QHD display with 2700 MAH battery. It is a joke.

It is a joke.like i said i am totally on some boat with you and will anyday use 2 inch thicker phones if it lasts me a day over thinner one but most people are not like that and love thin devices and they are selling millions of them..i find it funny how quick charging is a feature now as to me it seems like problem that you have to charge phone mid day .. :P
