Samsung Announces Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Samsung Pay

At the end, the ressemble is only the bottom of the phone. No matter what they release, people would've found anything to say Samsung is copying Apple.

Unless you have 0 tech, that's almost impossible.

Finally, it took you so long, surprisingly for a ... , lol. It is just a gadget. Let the fans here have fun in their own community. Do not take most of the silly posts here too seriously.

Seriously, I am just messing around - everyone, in some form or another, copies will copy everyone. Pissing contests among fanboys are stupid.

No, they all can be used at the same time with the Exynos.

This is from an old article:

This is much newer and well, you can see that scheduling the cores is a bit of a mess... There's a hell of a lot more details here that at Engadget.

Even with 8 cores, the exynos got beat up on the whole by a 2 core Apple A8, that should tell you something.

My Samsung tab pro s pegs all 8 cores using instantgram.

Keep reaching maybe when apple goes 6 cores you will agree

That is possible but the design still is big little .

And keep reaching ? What does the cores matter ? I want a phone that's smooth & energy efficient 1 or 100 cores doest matter . more bs to think less or more is better ,

Oh right, keep going with that fandroid-meme. How difficult it is? I will be living in my lifetime without any Samsung product. Samsung-free since birth ...

How can you actually dislike a brand that does nothing different then all others , Apple included ?

No, not at all.

That's why I say - please, show me an image of a model which indeed fits better.


So you are saying that this -

Looks more than this -

Than this? -

So you compare the bottom with the front + case ? Do give the bottom side of both without cases and see the similarities .

I am mostly kidding. But I do not like (or hated) Samsung phones - hardware looks - the Form factor etc ... I prefer HTC or Nokia handsets (as they try to be really different or they kind of have that more unique looks vs. iPhones).

Man your the one who said android can't use 4 cores.wtf are you going on about I don't know.

The gs6 also has the highest geek bench score of any device including a iPad air that's using a tri core and is a tablet soc.I guess those cores are not doing anything g right?

So what is it you tell me because your the one telling us android can't use 4 cores.

It's beating out a8x with ease and that's only at 1.5ghz

But dude, it takes 8 cores to get that score on the ARM architecture. For the A8X running at the same frequency (1.5 GHz), the single-core score is about 20% higher, which tells me that the Android software is still not optimized for the Samsung hardware. Plus, it only takes 3 cores to get performance (according to Geekbench) that is only 18% less than this Samsung ARM processor. Imagine if Apple fab'd a processor with 8 cores. And how about battery life, eh?

Meanwhile, I'm happy with my 16GB iPhone 6 and late 2013 15" rMBP, which get 2.5 days and 13 hours of battery life, respectively.


but Tim, where is my 17" rMBP? There's a market for it.

I'm reminded of the Galaxy S3 commercials mocking the iPhone 5 because the headphone jack was moved to the bottom. Now who's mocking who?

You do realise every apple phone or computer has Samsung parts ?

You are late in the party.. I know that even if they are just parts. It was a complete joke. All my posts in this thread - really just mocking or messing around with the anti-Apple fans posters who keep coming with their memes in this pro-Apple community forum. Gadget pissing contests are stupid. A serious business to many ...
 
I thought screen size bigger than iPhone 4 was too big for our hand... right...
Why did they make iPhone 6 bigger and 6+ biggerER....?

and now in few month... If apple introduces pen tablet system....
whats gonna happen to... "finger is the best pointing device..."

let just make Samsung+apPle= SamPle or ApSung and make one divice~

Apple is using fat cores that rock out insane instructions per clock but hit a mhz wall and power efficiency wall over arms big little approach.

You see apple couldn't even raise the mhz on the new air and needed to add another cpu because that was more power effective

There is no way apple could use there fat cores in an 8 way setup.maybe at 6nm but not today.

the end result is still the same.the big little approach is better overall for performance when needed and power efficiency

You do realise the A8X is never going in a phone and is a tablet soc right?
 
Yeah, I agree that Apple is being copied here.

Anyways, I recently tried the old version of the edge and it was pretty nice. I don't really get the point of the curved screen but it was cool (although not very useful and I accidentally pressed on it a few times). The screen was really nice otherwise and I liked the tactile keyboard. The main turn off was all the ads and junk apps on the phone...are those pre-installed?
