LOL, and I suppose you're never getting a bicycle until it has four wheels.

I have a bicycle, just because I am not too lazy to take a phone out of my pocket and have a watch which is fit for purpose, you try to make out I am mad.

Reality is I am just not a gullible consumerist ****,

No, it was your ridiculous suggestion that the Watch should be self winding.

Like my electric watch yes. Kinetic winder charges a capacitor that runs the watch for 24 hours if removed or forever if worn.

Now who looks ridiculous.

What you probably have figured out Jack descends to name calling, insults etc, when his beloved apple device has been exposed to have problems. Just RTM if he becomes tiresome.

You should get a 16 or most likely a 32 for that money, got to say it's still a cracking phone, if it wasn't for the barometer in the 6 I would have stuck with it for another year at least.

A year actually. And yes, it could be worse, I think an equivalent windows or android phone might fetch a tenner.

I guess you were all correct about the Note 4 crushing the iPhone.



Oh wait, it's not as good as the iPhone 5s!! Now what??

Nice figures from the Iphone 6, shame they didn't use the lastest version of the S5 (the one they used there is the SM-G900) as they have the SM-G901 out now that doesn't use that GPU (the Adreno 330 but the later Adreno 420).

Yeah, that sort of changes the results a lot as the 420 is on par if not slightly better than Apple's GPU... so those figures are out of date.

Nice try though

Note 4 model isn't using the snappy processor. I haven't seen any results for that processor. Jack you have a look?

Its only the opengl benchy anyway, which is kind of irrelevant unless you're 13 and addicted to candy crush.

7 all in this particular bench.

To be honest the gpu in both devices are very close, but lets not forget the S5 is over a year old now.
