So Apple's new flagship smartphones are here! The iphone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus. This review is about the new iPhone 6 plus! The big 5.5 inch display version.
Design:
Boasting a new design than the previous generations of iPhones. Having curved edges and a seamless feel. The anodised aluminium and The glass that fits in so perfectly gives it a seamless feel to it. The premium or exquisite feel that Apple promises on all its devices stays there. No doubt a great looking phone in the market now. Has its screen lock/unlock and power button shifted to the right side of the phone. Making it easier to use with one hand. The volume rockers stay in its usual position like before on the left with the mute/unmute switch above it
The Lightning port, the speaker, mic and the 3.5 mm headphone jack stay at the bottom. Thinner than the iPhone 5S at just 7.1 mm. Comes in three colour finishes- space gray, gold and silver.
All of them look good but the space gray stands out.

Memory:
The iPhone 6 plus Comes in three memory segments starting with the 16 GB memory phone , 64 GB and the 128 GB device!!!
Sure makes it a better option keeping in mind the memory of this device compared to others in the market.
Display:
Boasting a 5.5 inch display, this iPhone comes with the new Retina HD display. Packing more pixels per inch. Is a full 1920x1080p display. As it has a big screen, using it with one hand like the 5S makes it a bit difficult. So to make it easy Apple has introduced the new "Reachability" function. It uses the Touch ID Home button to use it. By just tapping it twice, remember tapping and not "pressing" it twice brings the whole display down to half the screen. Making it easy to use the upper functions or pulling the notification bar down easy.
Network and connectivity:
Has a faster 802.11 a/b/g/n wifi.
Faster LTE with more bands
Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC (Apple pay).
Processor and architecture:
Has the new A8 chip with a 64 but architecture. Comes with the new M8 motion coprocessor.
Camera:
had the new "improved" 8MP iSight camera. Now with focus pixels for a better autofocus technology. Burst mode, panoramas (upto 43 Megapixels), improved face detection, are some of its new introductions. Has its exposure control now on the screen to change. The iPhone 6 plus comes with the all new optical image stabilisation camera. It uses the accelerometer to compensate the users hand movements and gives a clear and blush free image. The true tone flash stays the same. The lens is covered with sapphire crystal and the whole outer casing ask lens are protruding from the back. Making it a bit wobbly in flat surface to use.
It now takes slo-mo videos to upto 240 fps than the previous 120fps. It uses the cinematic video stabilisation and continuous auto focus during video recording in 1080p HD.
