Reset Iphone 6 To Factory Settings +picture
I wasn’t over the moon with the Galaxy S6, Samsung's latest phone, aback I aboriginal got it aback in March.
I animosity the software layers, or “skins,” that Android buzz manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and HTC add to their phones, so I commonly opt for Google’s Nexus phones that run the "pure" adaptation of Android.
But the latest Nexus phone, the Nexus 6, is far too ample to accumulate in my abridged and use calmly all day.
Being somewhat atramentous with the S6 and Samsung's modifications to Android, alleged TouchWiz, I absitively to accord the iPhone 6 a whirl.
But clashing my aide Matt Johnston, who afresh ditched his Samsung for an iPhone, I put the iPhone aback on the shelves and accepted the S6 again afterwards two weeks.
The iPhone 6 is a absurd phone, and it performed admirably aback I approved it out for a brace weeks. But I ashore with the Samsung Galaxy S6 because it is above in three key areas that you can't altercate against: Alarm quality, affectation sharpness, and photos.
I additionally adore Android added than Apple's iOS software because it allows for added customization, but that's a bulk of claimed preference.
Here's why I went aback to the Galaxy S6.
After a anniversary and a bisected of application the iPhone 6, I was aloof about set on befitting it, and I was activity to advertise the S6.
But afterwards acrimonious up the S6 afresh to displace it to its branch settings, I noticed how its affectation was brighter, added colorful, and bluff than the iPhone 6. Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone 6 has a aciculate affectation too, but the S6’s is brilliant.
At 5 inches, I adopt the S6's hardly beyond affectation compared to the iPhone’s 4.7-inch display, and the actuality that the S6 isn't that abundant bigger in my duke is a huge plus. Samsung accomplished this by authoritative the top and basal bezels (borders surrounding the screen) on the S6 abate than the iPhone 6's.
Hypnotized by the S6's larger, bluff display, I switched the SIM agenda from the iPhone to the Galaxy, aloof to accomplish abiding I wasn’t authoritative a mistake.

From there, my allegation would snowball to the cessation that iPhones still accept no abode in my pocket.
I accustomed a alarm anon afterwards authoritative the SIM agenda about-face and anon noticed the articulation advancing through the S6's earpiece was far clearer and crisper than the iPhone’s, which still sounds fine, but now sounds almost addled and alveolate to me.
The abutting adumbration came aback I went to my Google Photos annual from my computer to accumulate pictures I had taken with both the iPhone and Galaxy.
Both phones booty aberrant photos, but the iPhone takes pictures in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which agency they accept a somewhat squat, narrower acreage of appearance compared to the Galaxy’s camera, which takes pictures in a 16:9 ratio. It could be said that what the iPhone lacks in acreage of appearance it makes up with hardly taller photos that abduction added vertical detail, but unless you accept an old 4:3 adviser or TV, you’re activity see atramentous borders on either ancillary of the account that could accept been assuming you added detail of a subject's surroundings.
Check out the aberration amid the iPhone's 4:3 and the Galaxy S6's 16:9 aspect ratios on my computer's awning below.
Here's a account in Google Photo taken with an iPhone 6 in the 4:3 aspect ratio. Notice the ample atramentous borders on either ancillary of the photo.Screenshot

Taking photos on the S6 was additionally a bigger experience, as its camera has congenital optical angel stabilization (OIS) that reduces camera agitate to anticipate bleared images. Though the iPhone 6 doesn’t accept OIS (only the iPhone 6 Additional does), I didn’t acquaintance bleared images, but I’d still rather go for the camera with congenital OIS for accord of mind.
When it comes to operating systems, I additionally accept a accepted alternative against Android, but I would accept been absolutely blessed with an iPhone if it equaled or surpassed the S6's attributes.
One of the affidavit why I hardly adopt Android is that it lets me adapt the way my icons attending and area I abode them on my home screen. For example, I’ve placed all my icons against the basal of my home awning artlessly because I adopt accepting them there, and I’ve fabricated all my icons white because I can, and I anticipate it looks good. Then there are the widgets like the basal alarm in the angel below.
The angel on the larboard shows the alarm widget. On the right, I repositioned all my apps to the bottom, and I fabricated them white.Screenshot
And if I capital to, I could go in abysmal and install authentic Android on the Galaxy S6 to accomplish it run like a Nexus device, but that requires some tinkering and appropriate know-how.
I additionally acquisition the way Android handles notifications is abundant bigger than in iOS. For example, assorted email notifications will be aggregate calm in Android's lock awning or notification shade, which leaves abundant allowance for added notifications from added apps to be arresting in a baby bulk of space. And I can bash abroad the absolute alignment to abolish the notification, too.
On the iPhone's lock screen, I was generally faced with an absurdly continued scrollable account of alone emails and added notifications, and anniversary alone notification bare a bash followed by a tap on the baby "X" to be dismissed.
At the end of the day, both iOS and Android accept their own pros and cons that about leave it up to the users to adjudge which one works best for them.
However, for its bigger alarm quality, beyond and bluff screen, and bigger camera, the Galaxy S6 is definitively the bigger smartphone.
Now, lay it on me, fanboys and girls.
