When it was launched in 2014, the iPhone 6 was one of the hottest phones on the market. With a completely different design from its predecessor, Apple brought the iPhone 6 with many new features and powerful hardware. The harmonious combination of hardware and software makes users rate the iPhone 6 as one of the most creative and powerful smartphones.
Reviewing the iPhone 6
1. Regarding Design
The iPhone 6 opts for a sleek curved design with seamless integration between the screen and the back. It's a significant departure from the iPhone 5s. Apart from some plastic details on the back, everything is crafted from metal and glass, giving it a luxurious look.
Despite its larger size, users won't find it overwhelmingly big, thanks to its thinner and lighter profile weighing only 129g. You won't have much difficulty holding, gripping, and using this phone powerfully.
Apple has also relocated the power button from the top to the right side of the device, making it easier for you to power off or lock the screen with just one hand. The remaining physical buttons of the iPhone 6 are still arranged as in the previous version, with volume control buttons on the left side and the Home button below the screen.
2. Display
The iPhone 6 screen measures 4.7 inches with a pixel density of 326ppi. This could be considered a drawback when evaluating the iPhone 6 alongside top-tier phones upon its release. However, like the megapixel count on a camera, this only reflects a part of the screen's quality.
Despite its lower resolution, the colors on the iPhone 6 are excellent. Whether you're watching a movie or playing a game, the iPhone 6 always accurately displays the screen's colors. It also doesn't fade when viewed from different angles. The iPhone 6 has a very high brightness, 558 nits, allowing you to comfortably use it under direct sunlight.
3. Work Performance
Equipped with a dual-core 64-bit A8 processor clocked at 1.2Ghz, a 4-core PowerVR GX6450 GPU, and 1GB of RAM. With these specifications, the iPhone 6 significantly boosts work performance by up to 25% in CPU and 50% in graphics performance compared to the iPhone 5s in some cases.
The iPhone 6 comes with top-notch mobile connectivity that users always expect, such as Bluetooth, AirDrop, 4G LTE wireless, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Fingerprint security is also included, along with support for NFC, but it's only used for Apple Pay.
4. Photography Capability
The camera on the iPhone 6 has been significantly improved, although you wouldn't notice it just by looking at the technical specifications. The rear camera is 8MP, with True Tone LED flash, and an aperture of f/2.2. However, it includes the ability to capture 43MP panorama photos, record FullHD video at 60fps, and slow-motion videos at 120fps or 240fps.
5. Battery Life
Apple claims that the iPhone 6 provides up to 14 hours of talk time on 3G, 10 hours of internet use on 3G, 4G LTE, and 11 hours of Wi-Fi use, 11 hours of continuous video playback, and 50 hours of music playback.
When these iPhone 6 models were launched, the lowest price was around 15 million VND for the 16GB version. But currently, the price of these iPhone 6 models has dropped by about half, ranging from 7 to 8 million VND. Used phones are even cheaper, around 4-5 million VND depending on whether they are locked or unlocked versions. However, when purchasing, you need to check the iPhone's IMEI to avoid buying fake or low-quality products. Checking an iPhone's IMEI is quite simple, and you can find a guide on Mytour.
Currently, Apple has released the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 models with many superior features compared to the iPhone 6. If you're considering upgrading to one of these two models, it's also worth reading reviews of the iPhone 7 or iPhone 6s to make the most informed decision.
