Samsung compares the Galaxy S6 edge to the iPhone 6 in two new ads

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Samsung go the iPhone-bashing route in its ads, but now the Korean company is back at it. A couple of new commercials have been posted to its official YouTube channel, and they both basically compare the Galaxy S6 edge to the iPhone 6.

You can probably imagine which device is better in Samsung’s perspective. Not all 6s are created equal, it appears, as in this case 6 > 6.
First off, we get an ad focused on two distinct features of the Galaxy S6 edge – the fact that it has wireless charging support, and its front-facing camera which can take wide-angle selfies. Needless to say, the iPhone 6 can boast neither of those things.
To top things off, we get an ad that talks about the curved screen of the S6 edge – and, specifically, that edge itself.
So Samsung thinks it’s obvious that if you do the math its offering comes up ahead. Do you agree?

HTC celebrates the UEFA Champions League final with 24ct gold One M9

HTC took the wraps off a One M9 in 24ct gold to celebrate this year’s UEFA Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Juventus. The Taiwanese manufacturer is among the sponsors of the tournament.

In addition to being coated in the precious metal, the limited edition HTC One M9 has the UEFA Champions League logo engraved on its back. Naturally, the names of the two teams that will participate in the big game are also there.
The June 6 date and the location of the game are also gracing the back of the smartphone. Stadium seat number for the two winners (HTC had staged a giveaway that ended last month) of the exclusive smartphone round up the elaborate detailing on its back.
This is not the first time HTC launches a Champions League-themed device. Last year, the manufacturer pulled the same trick with the One (M8), though that one was much more understated.
As you have probably guessed, the gold HTC One M9 does not have a price tag, though we can reasonably expect it to be quite expensive

We test: The Sony Xperia Z3+ touchscreen is amazingly good when wet

All Xperia Z devices are waterproof, but the new Sony Xperia Z3+ goes beyond surviving the elements, its touchscreen is happy to continue working even when wet. Capacitive touchscreens and water are like oil and, well, water – they don’t mix that well.

You’ve probably seen the UI start jerk around when even a single raindrop lands on the screen. Not going to happen with the Xperia Z3+ though, Sony made sure of it.
Most waterproof phones have hardware keys to get around this, but a few keys can only have limited functionality (typically reserved for taking a photo underwater). The Xperia Z3+ can be used straight out of the pool, without having to wipe the screen dry first.
Here’s our very quick demo, comparing the Xperia Z3 and the Xperia Z3+ head on:
It doesn’t take long to see what’s happening. The Z3 screen registers multi-touch events, panning and zooming, or nothing at all. This makes it really frustrating to operate the UI since you’re never quite sure if your finger will press the button you’re aiming for or do something completely unexpected.
We already have a preview of the Xperia Z3+ up online, and we’re planning on bringing you a full review next week. Let us know if there is some aspect you’d like us to test specifically.

Benchmarking Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML with Intel Atom Z3580 SoC and 4GB of RAM

We got our hands on a retail unit of the range-topping version of Asus ZenFone 2 with 4GB of RAM, so we decided to put it through our set of benchmark tests. The smartphone packs a beefier chipset, which aims to compete with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 family.

Asus ZenFone 2 with 4GB of RAM packs an Intel Atom Z3580 SoC with 2.3 GHz quad-core CPU, coupled with PowerVR G6430 GPU. For comparison, Asus ZenFone 2 with 2GB of RAM features Intel Atom Z3560 with 1.8GHz quad-core CPU.
Price-wise, the 4GB ZenFone 2 sits closely to the hordes of Qualcomm Snapdragon 615-equipped mid-rangers. However, the device’s chipset performance puts it in the same league as many flagship devices. Therefore, we’ve lined up an eclectic mix of smartphones for our benchmark comparison.
Geekbench 3 is a benchmark that focuses on raw CPU performance. On this instance, the 4GB ZenFone 2 did considerably better than its 2GB, relative, but still couldn’t quite match the oomph of its high-end octa-core rivals.

Antutu 5 adds RAM and storage speed into the mix and is an indication of the overall performance of the device. We found the 4GB ZenFone 2 rubbing shoulders with many of today’s heavy hitters in the Android real. Similarly priced mid-range rivals on the other hand, didn’t even come close to its result.

The trend continues with the Basemark OS II benchmark. Once again the high-end Asus ZenFone 2 posted a stellar score. As expected, its single and multi-core results came out considerably better than those displayed by the 2GB version.

GFXBench puts the device’s GPU to the test. The PowerVR G6430 of the ZenFone 2 beat the scores of last year’s Adreno 330, but could’t quite match the output of the Adreno 430 found in today’s Snapdragon 810-equipped devices.

Web browser performance turned out quite good as well. The range-topping ZenFone 2 handily beat its cheaper relative, as well as a number of considerably more expensive rivals.

Overall, the Asus ZenFone 2 delivered mostly impressive performance across the board, leaving many flagship devices behind it on more than one occasion. Considering its $300 price tag unlocked in the United States, we reckon that you will be hard-pressed to find more hardware oomph for the money.
