South Korea Considering Investigation of iPhone 6s Battery Shutdown Issue
South Korea’s Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) said it is considering an investigation into whether some iPhone 6s devices experiencing unexpected battery shutdowns is a safety issue, according to The Korea Herald.
“The agency is well aware of recent iPhone issues and is taking a close look at it,” an unnamed KATS official told The Herald. While KATS hasn’t officially launched an investigation, it wants to make sure the problem isn’t like the Galaxy Note 7 battery issue, which caused devices to randomly catch fire and start smoking. The agency is currently in talks with Apple Korea about the issue.
In November, Apple launched a repair program for iPhone 6s devices experiencing the unexpected shutdowns, saying that “a very small number of iPhone 6s devices” that were manufactured between September and October 2015 were affected. Apple said the problem was “not a safety issue.”
On its Chinese website, Apple said the shutdowns were caused by a manufacturing error where some batteries were overexposed to “controlled ambient air,” causing them to degrade faster than normal. In addition to its repair program, Apple now lets you check your iPhone 6s serial number to see if you’re eligible for a new battery.

OnePlus now making an iPhone case, comes with a OnePlus X invite inside
OnePlus has begun making its very own sandstone-textured clip-on cases for the iPhone 6/6S. It’s probably one of the best marketing tactics OnePlus has come up with yet, having the message “Get a grip. #NeverSettle” placed on the inside of the case.
This case OnePlus is selling is very special, though. You don’t need an invite to buy one, but when it comes in the mail, it does come with an invite to buy your very own OnePlus X. Some of the invite codes sent out will even let you purchase the limited edition ceramic OnePlus X. Other invite codes are giving away a OnePlus X for free, though your chances on receiving one of these is pretty slim.
The new sandstone iPhone 6S case is identical to the back plate on the OnePlus One and Two. With that in mind, putting this clip-on case makes your iPhone look like one of those aforementioned devices. It’d be nearly unrecognizable from the back if it weren’t for the camera placement on Apple’s devices.
Click here to view the embedded video.
OnePlus is selling the case for $19.99 at their online store. It goes without saying, this is a very nice and sleek case, but it’s difficult to determine how many OnePlus will actually sell to iPhone owners.
OnePlus is doing one thing right: trying to get their name into every corner of the world.

Apple won’t be suing HTC over the One A9’s blatant iPhone 6S-like design
HTC this week announced the One A9, and the design turned out to be a blatant copy of the iPhone 6/6S. HTC claims that it was actually Apple who copied the Taiwanese manufacturer, but Cupertino won’t be serving papers to HTC anytime soon either way.
Apple was quick to start the litigation process with Samsung over every little minuscule patent, but not HTC. And that’s because in 2012, HTC and Apple reached a deal where the Taiwanese company would pay Apple $6-$8 per Android device the manufacturer ships in return for the patent battles to stop.
The terms of the deal remain confidential to this day. The agreement was for 10 years, and we’re only three years into it so far. HTC China’s President Ray Yam said this in 2012:
“The settlement with Apple will start to pay off next year, and the fourth quarter of this year is still going at a set pace. The biggest benefit to us is that we can put more energy into innovation, which is more important than anything else for a technology company.”
In other words, we won’t be seeing any litigation over the One A9, unless HTC breaks some confidential term of the deal. And in the meantime, HTC continues to “innovate” with blatant copycat devices.
What’re your thoughts on the One A9?

Huawei Watch review: Does function match design?
Huawei has been making quite the statement in 2015. Other than being one of Google’s partners for the Nexus 6P, Huawei has been releasing a slew of high-quality products that have been turning heads everywhere. Slowly, but surely they have been making a name for themselves, and it’s obviously caught the attention of the big boys in California.
In addition to the various phones that Huawei has introduced, they also entered the Android Wear smartwatch race. The Huawei Watch was introduced at Mobile World Congress in February of 2015, and then officially released just last month. When Huawei showed off their Android Wear smartwatch, there were lots of ooh’s and ah’s due to the beautiful design.
Design
Sporting a stainless steel casing, the Huawei Watch features a traditional round-face, with a simple button on the upper right-hand side of the watch. As someone who’s owned a Moto 360, I was interested in seeing a smartwatch take advantage of ALL the screen real-estate, without worrying about having a flat tire, that cuts off parts of the watch faces. Luckily, the Huawei Watch does not have this chin, but there’s also a glaring hole that the Huawei Watch fails to fill.
Part of why the Moto 360 has that hideous flat tire on the face, is to house all the sensors, including the ambient light sensor. Well, the Huawei Watch is without this light sensor, meaning that this smartwatch stays at the same brightness all the time. This can be frustrating, and you would think that the lack of an ambient light sensor would take a toll on the battery life, but you might be surprised.
The somewhat larger size of the Huawei Watch helps to protect your new smartwatch from getting scratched or anything, and the glass covering the watch face does the same. Made out of sapphire crystal, the Huaweai Watch provides another first for Android Wear devices, making it the first of its kind with this type of protection for your watch face. What makes sapphire crystal different from the rest, is that it’s harder than Corning’s Gorilla Glass. This will allow for you accidentally bump into something and have a little more peace of mind about whether you just cracked the face of your favorite smartwatch.
Specs
Below the hood, the Huawei Watch has a 1.4-inch display with, 400×400 resolution at a rate of 286 pixels per inch. This is the highest resolution of any Android Wear device today. Powering that beautiful, high resolution display is a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM and a 300mAh battery. Additionally, the Huawei Watch has a few other features that help it stand apart from the crowd.
The built-in Wi-Fi will come in handy if you’re using the Huawei Watch and your Bluetooth paired device isn’t near you. That way you will still be able to get your notifications even if you’re outside of the range of the Bluetooth. With an IP67 rating, your watch will be able to withstand you taking a shower with it on, and the occasional rain-drops, but don’t play on taking this on a swim with you. The Huawei Watch also has a heart-rate monitor on the bottom of the watch, and while it doesn’t continuously monitor your heart-rate, the added functionality is definitely a plus.
Huawei didn’t really design their watch to be a “sporty” device, instead focusing more on fashion with this one. In that regard, there isn’t GPS built-in, so you won’t be able to track exactly where you go. However, you will be able to keep track of your steps, distance, and calories burned with the Huawei Watch.
These are some pretty impressive specs, compared to other Android Wear devices that have been released in 2015. The Huawei Watch isn’t without it’s flaws, unfortunately. The casing, while beautiful and professional looking, is a bit thick and heavy. For someone with large wrists like myself, and one who usually wears a G-Shock, this isn’t really a problem at all. But we can imagine those with normal-sized wrists, running into some issues with the heft of the Huawei Watch.
Where’s the Qi?
Another downside to the design of the Huawei Watch would have to be the charging capabilities. As stated above, I am coming from the first-gen Moto 360 with its wireless Qi-charging. When the Huawei Watch was first announced, I was a little more than disappointed with the announcement regarding the lack of Qi-charging. Huawei opted for the pogo-pin style charging, which automatically limits the ways you will be able to charge the Watch. Maybe this has something to do with the already thick casing of the watch, but it’s an interesting omission nonetheless.
In the packaging, you’ll receive a charging cable with the pogo-plug pad for the Huawei Watch to be charged. I must admit, this was the most frustrating part of the review. There were multiple times, where I laid the Huawei Watch on the charging pad, thinking that it was charging because of the magnet in the charger, only to find out that the Watch was dead the next morning. In order to make sure I had a good contact between the Watch and the charging pad, I would pick up both the charger and the watch, and made sure that the pins were lined up correctly.
This is an area that could see some improvement from the folks at Huawei, but it’s not the end of the world either. Hopefully, since more of the world is moving towards wireless charging, Huawei will follow suit if they end up releasing an updated version in the future.
Battery Life
As for the battery life, I’ve taken a look at a few of the other Huawei Watch reviews, just to get a feel for what other folks have been getting and I must say that I must have the golden egg. Other reviews state that they can’t get through an entire day, let alone two, without having to recharge. This was not the case in my experience with the Huawei Watch.
After the first week, when the updates were installed, and the internal dust settled, I was getting great battery life. My work day starts at 6AM but I have to leave my apartment at about 5AM or so. I was able to get through the entire day, with heavy usage, and still have about 40% or so left over when I got back to my apartment around 4 or 5PM. With that battery life, there were times that I would be able to use the Huawei Watch up until I got home the next day.
Swap those bands
Being able to change out the various bands is always a fun experiment, regardless of whatever watch you get. The Huawei Watch supports both 18mm and 21mm straps that can be easily swapped out at your discretion. There is a quick release tab on the ends of the band that allow for replacing the bands without any tools. No longer do you have to worry about fumbling around with swapping the bands out.
The final “gripe” I have with the design, isn’t necessarily for me, but I can see it being problematic for others. Huawei decided to not add an NFC chip within the Huawei Watch. While the casing is already thick, I can imagine there would be room somewhere to add this feature. With contactless payments, like Android Pay and Samsung Pay, becoming more and more popular, the lack of NFC is a bit of a head-scratcher. We’ll have to see if Huawei hits the mark on the next rendition.
Usage and Software
Throughout my testing of the Huawei Watch, I paired the Watch with three different devices; OnePlus 2, Samsung Galaxy Note5, and the iPhone 6s. At the core, the software is the same that can be found on every other Android Wear device. However, the Huawei Watch comes preloaded with a boatload of watch faces, 40 to be exact. And while the face itself is fairly large, the Google Now cards that would pop up, took up too much of th screen.
There were times of frustration, where I would get annoyed with the size of the cards, and going on a swiping frenzy to get rid of the notifications. If there was a different way to view the notifications or a way to change the size of the Google Now cards, that would be pretty awesome. But that’s not the fault of the Huawei Watch, or any other Android Wear device for that matter.
Something worth taking note of, is related to the charging notification you get when plugging in your new Huawei Watch. The icon is extremely tiny, and there are times where you can’t even see whether it’s charging or not. That should be something that can be changed on Huawei’s side, and make it easier for us to tell whether your Watch is charging or not.
Empty those wallets
If you want to get this bad boy, be prepared to empty your wallets out. There are six different options you can get from either Huawei or Amazon, and the pricing ranges from $349 to $449. Here are the listed options below:
- Huawei Watch with Black Suture Leather Strap – $349.99
- Huawei Watch with Stainless Steel Mesh Band – $399.99
- Huawei Watch with Stainless Steel Link Band – $399.99
- Huawei Watch Black with Black Stainless Steel Link Band – $449.99
- Huawei Watch Rose Gold with Alligator Brown Leather Strap – $699.99
- Huawei Watch Rose Gold with Rose Gold Stainless Steel Link Band – $799.99
As I stated, you can head over to either Huawei or Amazon and grab the Huawei Watch. Currently, all the options are in stock, except for the option with the Stainless Steel Link Band. But if you already have an 18mm or 21mm band, you’ll be good with grabbing one of the other options and using your own. Plus, you’ll be able to save a few bucks that way.
Regardless of its flaws, the Huawei Watch is an absolutely gorgeous device. We recognize where the Huawei Watch can be troublesome for some (i.e. small wrists), but overall, the Huawei Watch is one of the best Android Wear devices you can get today.
Have you used the Huawei Watch already? What were your impressions on it, and where it stands amongst the ranks of other Android Wear devices? Drop us a line below and let us know.

iPhone 6S camera outpaced by many Android flagships
In testing done by camera image quality experts, the Apple iPhone 6S sits behind many of today’s Android flagship phones. DxOMark, the website in question, conducts tests to determine photo and video quality and gives an overall score on a scale of 1 – 100. The iPhone 6S scored an 82, which puts it on par with the iPhone 6 and 6Plus and the Sony Xperia Z3+.
Leading the iPhone are the Moto X Style, last year’s Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the LG G4 who all scored an 83, the Nexus 6P who scored an 84, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge who scored 86 and the reigning champion, the Sony Xperia Z5, who comes in with a whopping 87.
The iPhone gets high marks overall exposure, fast auto-focus, white balance, and good detail in bright light, but falls flat due to noise in low light, color shading in indoor situations, yellow shading in outdoor conditions, and ghosting and other artifacts.
More than once I’ve heard friends say they stick with iPhones because of the camera. Tests like these prove that not only have Android OEMs caught up to Apple in categories like speed and camera quality, but they’re starting to eat their lunch too. No doubt Apple will dismiss these results and continue on in their reality distortion field, but if you want amazing pictures from a phone, you’re no longer stuck with just one option.

Best for LTE – Xperia Z5, X Style, Note 5, iPhone 6S, LG G4
A question that I’m asked quite often is, which handset is best for network, especially for people who live in areas with spotty coverage (at best). For several years, this has been relatively easy to answer as Samsung’s flagships usually had better coverage and signal strength than its rivals but as we covered earlier this year, the change in build on the Galaxy S6 resulted in Samsung slipping down the list.

With handsets reaching a plateau where specs are mostly similar across devices, a purchase decision can often be dependent on things like the network performance, so which of these four flagships has the most reliable network connection?
With six months between the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy Note 5, has Samsung improved the antennae? Is the LG G4 top of the pile or does Motorola’s Moto X Style (Pure Edition) or Sony’s new Xperia Z5 take the crown? What about the iPhone 6S, can Apple’s latest smartphone profess to be the better than the rest? Let’s find out.
N.B. All handsets were tested using the same network – EE, which supports speeds of up to 300Mbps in the London area – and at the exact same time. The results below are based on a sample of 52 tests in 11 different areas spanning a distance of 170 miles.
Network Switch Rate
One problem with most current LTE networks is that VoLTE (Voice Over LTE) isn’t supported in large parts of the network, meaning handsets need to switch down to a 3G connection when attempting to make a call while connected to an LTE connection. Often, the time taken to locate and switch to a 3G network can result in a dropped call; both, when making or receiving it.
The purpose of this section was to test the handset’s ability to switch from LTE to 2G/3G and vice versa, while also determining which handset remained connected to the fastest network for longest. During our testing, we found the following:
| Xperia Z5 | LG G4 | Galaxy Note 5 | iPhone 6S | Moto X Style | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average Time taken to switch to fastest network (lower is better) |
69 seconds | 56 seconds | 59 seconds | 70 seconds | 61 seconds |
| Time connected to fastest network (higher is better) |
66 seconds | 68 seconds | 74 seconds | 108 seconds | 76 seconds |
The network switch rate on the Galaxy Note 5 has certainly improved since the Galaxy S6 Edge in our last test, but the LG G4 still shines through. It’s quite interesting that the iPhone – which has been pretty bad in past tests I’ve conducted – has improved a large amount in the largest generation, while the Moto X Style proves to be much better than Sony and Apple’s finest.
Antenna Strength
This section tests how strong the antennae performance on each smartphone actually is. To test the antenna strength, we used the figures reported in the Settings > About Phone > Status screen. A signal rating of -60 dBm is recognised as near perfect while anything above -110 dBm is considered call-dropping quality.
Our testing shows that:
| Xperia Z5 | LG G4 | Galaxy Note 5 | iPhone 6S | Moto X Style | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average antenna strength | -96.50 dBm | -76.83 dBm | -83.17 dBm | -98.33 dBm | -87.00 dBm |
| Ratio of average connection (LTE:3G – rounded off) |
7:1 | 6:1 | 8:1 | 12:1 | 9:1 |
| Occurrences of zero signal (out of 52 tests) | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 5 |
This test produced very interesting results but for different reasons: the LG G4 tops the antenna strength test but tends to switch to the lower 3G speed more frequently, while the iPhone 6S has a weak antennae, but is capable of holding the faster LTE connection for longer and accesses the LTE coverage more frequently than the others in the test. A very interesting set of results, which show that a stronger antenna isn’t a precursor to better coverage and stability.
LTE Speed Tests
Now to [what is probably] the most important aspect to smartphone users; LTE data speeds. This was a simple test to conduct; each handset was using the latest version of Ookla’s SpeedTest application and was connected to 4G.
Our testing found:
| Xperia Z5 | LG G4 | Galaxy Note 5 | iPhone 6S | Moto X Style | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average speed test: download | 56.31 Mbps | 56.52 Mbps | 53.14 Mbps | 52.18 Mbps | 55.04 Mbps |
| Average speed test: upload | 25.82 Mbps | 25.15 Mbps | 26.88 Mbps | 25.87 Mbps | 33.66 Mbps |
| Fastest LTE speed recorded: | 83.94 Mbps | 83.31 Mbps | 79.58 Mbps | 77.23 Mbps | 71.49 Mbps |
The results are certainly interesting and again, it seems that Samsung has slightly improved the LTE throughput in the Galaxy Note 5 (compared with the S6 Edge in our previous test). Past Sony handsets haven’t traditionally been the fastest on data throughput but quite surprisingly, the Xperia Z5 ranks highest for its overall data speeds (based on an average of the ranking of the three data speed tests).
LG’s G4 is narrowly pushed into second with the Galaxy Note 5 and Moto X Style coming joint in third and the iPhone 6S rounding off the data section in fifth place.
Conclusion
Deciding which smartphone is the best is certainly difficult as each excels in different areas but to make this as fair as possible, for each of the 8 individual tests, we’ve ranked each smartphone in order so first place gets 5 points, second gets 4 and so on. Totaling all the scores gives us this result:
| Device | Total Points | Ranking | Average Points per test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sony Xperia Z5 | 22 | 5th | 2.75 |
| LG G4 | 25 | 2nd | 3.13 |
| Galaxy Note 5 | 26 | 1st | 3.25 |
| iPhone 6S | 23 | 4th | 2.88 |
| Moto X Style | 24 | 3rd | 3.00 |
The rankings are actually quite interesting as, although it doesn’t come first or fifth in any of the tests conducted, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 wins for overall consistency, yet the Galaxy S6 Edge came last in our previous comparison. Next up, is the LG G4 which tops a few tests but is relatively inconsistent (and also came second in the last test), while in third is the Moto X Style, which is a consistent performer but doesn’t top a single test.
Fourth brings us to the iPhone, which does well to hold a connection but doesn’t have the strongest antennae while rounding off the test in fifth is the Sony Xperia Z5, which is either in the top two or the bottom two in each of the tests. The biggest thing to take away from this test is clearly that high data speeds is not directly linked to antennae strength but rather, a combination of all-round network performance.

Did you know you can finance the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X?
There’s a change coming to the mobile industry. One of the little known things that happened when Apple announced the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is that the Cupertino-based company itself is willing to finance either device to you–installment payments, just like you’d find on a carrier.
Another little known fact is that Google is actually doing the same thing with its Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Those interested in purchasing one can choose whether to buy it outright or finance it for 24 months.
An important thing to note is that this is only for Project Fi customers. Fi customers will be able to finance the base model of the Nexus 5X for a meager $15.79 per month or the 128GB Nexus 6P for $27.04 per month. All you have to do is pay sales tax and shipping costs upfront. And as a carrier will let you do, you can pay off the remaining balance of your device at any time if you don’t want to go through the full 24 months.
Those of you interested just have to head on over to the Project Fi website, click on “Your plan” and then “Upgrade device” to get the process started! It’ll be interesting to see if Google will ever extend this option to all of its customers. What’ll be more intriguing is seeing more manufactures like Samsung, LG, and HTC move to offering something like this.
