But can they compete with the best of the best Android-smartphone, the flagship of

 Motorola - Moto X 2014?

Finding answers to this difficult question engaged Resource Explorer Digital Trends Joe Donovan. He also praised smartphones on various parameters. Did he identify the best of the best smartphones of the season? But first things first. First - the technical specifications, and only then - the story of the parameter by which a smartphone better than its rival. 

Technical characteristics:

Dimensions (in centimeters, height x width x thickness) - Apple iPhone 6: 13.82 x 6.45 x 0.67; Motorola Moto X: 13,97 x 7,24 x 0,99. 

Weight (grams) - Apple iPhone 6: 129; Motorola Moto X: 144. 

Screen (in inches) - Apple iPhone 6: 4,7; Motorola Moto X: 5,2. 

Resolution (pixels) - Apple iPhone 6: 1334 x 750; Motorola Moto X: 1920 x 1080. 

Operating System - Apple iPhone 6: iOS 8; Motorola Moto X: Android 4.4. 

The amount of internal storage (in gigabytes) - Apple iPhone 6: 16, 64, 128; Motorola Moto X: 16 and 32 (via Moto Maker).

App Store - Apple iPhone 6: App App Store; Motorola Moto X: Google Play Store. 

Price (16-gigabyte version) - Apple iPhone 6: $ 650 without a contract or $ 200 on a two-year contract terms with operators; Motorola Moto X: $ 500 without a contract or $ 100 on a two-year contract conditions with the service provider. 

Of course, the prices vary and depend on many parameters. For iPhone 6 - including the volume of the drive, and for the Moto X - from the additional options of customization, which include a 32-gigabyte internal drive. 

Power and Performance:

Moto X is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801, which can be found in other premium Android -smartfonah. 6 for the iPhone, Apple has developed its own processor A8. He is reported to have a 25% faster processor A7 (iPhone 5s) and by 50% exceeds it in graphics performance. In all of this, it consumes 50% less energy. When iPhone 5s only appeared, he went through all the other phones on the results contemporaries benchmark tests. 

In addition it should be noted that the Apple iPhone has a coprocessor 6 M8, mainly service-oriented fitness applications. He's a bit more tricky than the coprocessor M7, on which these tasks are assigned to 5s. He is able to distinguish between types of physical activity - walking, running and cycling. The phone also features a barometer. 

It seems that Apple is the only company that not only declares the use of 64-bit architecture in their mobile devices, but also provides its real advantages. On the other hand, the iPhone 6 is not enough RAM - only 1 gigabyte - that, as suggested by Joe Donovan, for flagship devaysa quite a bit, especially when compared to two gigabytes, which boasts Moto X. 

Battery Moto X on a single charge will last longer than the iPhone 6. The phone also has a good processor and doubled in comparison with the new smartphone Apple, the amount of RAM. None of the considered smartphone does not have a slot for an SD-card memory, which means that the volume of the drive to expand will not work. 

None of the phones are not considered demonstrates the strong superiority over the other. 

Design :

It seems that Motorola, and Apple agree that today, the bigger the screen, the better. Display iPhone 6 grew to 4.7 inches and has a resolution of 1334 x 750. In Moto X screen more - compared with the previous model, it increased from 4.7 to 5.2 inches and has a higher resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels. For this reason, the flagship Motorola somewhat more cumbersome, thick and heavier than the iPhone 6. The main changes that are taking design iPhone, refer to the shape of the power button, which has been moved to the top of the devaysa on his right side, and the camera became slightly protrude from the rear panel . 

The iPhone 6 and Moto X 2014 compared to previous versions of modified housing. At Apple smartphone full metal body, and at Moto X - thin metal edging around the perimeter of the device, but the frame around the screen has been reduced in order to free up more screen space the front panel. IPhone Screen 6 also takes on the front panel more space than before, his body gained some roundness. 

Metal panels iPhone 6 contrasted very beautiful "leather" finish Moto X. As for colors, which include telephones, there is an advantage in Moto X. It's hard to find an option of external design of the phone, which would be available to him. And iPhone 6, meanwhile, comes in the same colors as the 5s - golden, black and gray. 

Build quality is better than the iPhone 6, and became the leader in customization Moto X. 

Camera :

The iPhone 6 Camera several better. The phone has a 1.2-megapixel front camera FaceTime. In this newest iPhone can not boast "megapixel" and the main camera devaysa located on its rear panel. It is 8.1 megapixel. But we all know that the megapixels - not the point. Apple announced that the iPhone 6 has iSight, allows the camera to better define the face and control the exposure. It is able to shoot HD-video at 1080p and even perform slow motion at 60 frames per second. 

On the rear panel Moto X is a 13-megapixel camera. But, despite this, the clarity of the photos above in iPhone 6. However, the camera never were the strong point of Motorola. The camera Moto X is able to satisfy most users fotopotrebnosti despite the superior clarity of images photographed by the camera of the new smartphone Apple. 

Camera The iPhone 6 is better, despite the lower "megapixel".

Which of these phones you would find the best? Unlike HTC One M8, all-metal body in Moto X No, but really plastic casing of the phone is so unattractive that his presence immediately convinces users prefer a phone that has such a body? Meanwhile, the plastic case Galaxy S5 does not prevent it considered one of the most interesting public smartphones of the year.

Where lies the main flaw of the new Moto X?

Where lies the main flaw of the new Moto X?

About a week ago, the presentation of the long-awaited update of the American flagship of Motorola. Call it loud or pompous would be wrong: some fans have learned about high tech novelty presented after the completion of the event. Whatever it was, to get a decent smartphone, as evidenced by its main features. Good display, enviable performance and already familiar brand chips from Motorola - that is what is hidden in the body with an aluminum frame. However, it was not without a lack of which is able to cross all the above advantages. What are we talking about? Let's find out. 

Perhaps the most attentive readers immediately guessed what was happening. Among the outstanding characteristics - 5.2-inch AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel camera - lurking little mention of battery capacity of the device. What is this setting? 2300 mAh. By the way, many analysts put a cross on a smartphone immediately after mentioning this detail. As it turned out, these findings were not unfounded.

Opportunities to experience the battery novelties took our foreign colleagues phonearena. Funds for this already can be called a standard: the authors used a web script that simulates the use of smartphone average user. By this time, with the help of a lot of devices have been tested, and therefore worry about the final results is not necessary. 

New Moto X held for 5 hours and 45 minutes. How bad is it? Depends on the object of comparison. For example, this result is almost an hour ahead of the autonomy of the Nexus 5 and 40 minutes - iPhone 5s, familiarize yourself with whom I have already had the opportunity. As for other Android-flagships - the situation is noticeably sadder.

The three leaders were HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2. Their respective results - 7 hours and 12 minutes, 38 minutes, 7:00 and 8:00 for 10 minutes. It seems that the battle is already lost to Motorola. 

But can the Moto X compete other characteristics? Or is it, as they say, it does not matter? Share your opinion in the comments.

IOS MOBILE STRATEGY FROM APPLE

IOS MOBILE STRATEGY FROM APPLE

For the first time this system, as well as Android, based on Unix, appeared under the name iPhone OS, along with a new device the iPhone in 2007. The main difference from other IOS at the time of successful operating systems such as Windows Mobile 6.x or Symbian, is that Apple has a monopoly in the provision of software for its smartphones. Users can purchase the necessary applications (Apps) only in the store Apple App Store. Downloading software from various third-party websites, is still possible in OS X, for the systems on the IOS platform already available. 

Some believe that such a method of providing software really enhances safety. Unlike poorly controlled Play Store for Android from Google, Apple in the process more streamlined and organized. However, the fact that Apple can with the appropriate command deliberately erase applications on the devices of users and at the same time effectively prevents the removal of pre installed applications such as the "exchange rates" or "weather forecast", runs counter to attempts to create an image of "an open and flexible "system". 

If the antivirus software equipment stationary computers has long been a natural phenomenon and the trend is gradually spreading to devices Android, then the Apple App Store, there is no hint of such a possibility, a keyword search for "antivirus" issue is not a list of programs for the protection of the device, and only a few titles of games. The telephone survey of various security vendors, almost all of whom are in the product portfolio of solutions for the platform Android, with the following results: manufacturer Apple does not allow in its App Store is no special protection programs, because he believes that no need for this. The company Apple, the only software provider to App Store, is responsible for ensuring that there were presented only those applications where there is no any harmful components. Thus, according to Apple, is guaranteed by the inability to spread viruses and malware in IOS.

The underlying security architecture in Apple IOS: in general it produces a sturdy impression, but, as in many other mobile systems, the four-digit password is easy driving obstacle.

COMPLIANCE WITH SIMPLE SAFETY :

Administrators and users should be aware that the operating systems of modern smartphones are extremely complex software solutions, which - quite naturally - there are gaps. Owners of all mobile systems is recommended - as is the case with the PC - always be alert and observe a few simple safety measures.

Safety recommendations for smartphone users :

Never try to get the right Root on your phone on the Android platform or hack your iPhone with the operation Jailbreak.
Distrust to all applications for which the acquisition of rights is a prerequisite for Root (this is the case with Android, often the applications, ostensibly designed to protect the system).
Never install the operating system version, taken from dubious Internet sources.
If, for example, the manufacturer of your smartphone does not offer an upgrade to the latest version of Android, it is a newer version from an unknown source probably will not add the device reliability.
In IOS necessarily enable the option "automatic lock" and "lock with password" to the unit in case of loss impede access to the information on it to outsiders.
As is the case with stationary PC, be sure to install the update from the manufacturer / supplier.
Avoid installing applications for systems Android, from unknown sources, and turn off this option in the settings menu.
Smartphone owners are often difficult to resist the opportunity of using unprotected WLAN network to access the Internet. Remember that in this case, all the data will be transmitted in clear text over the air interface - this also applies to passwords for the mail or banking applications, if they are not in the construction of the connection uses a separate encrypted tunnel.
Install on your mobile security application that can remotely delete data in case of loss or theft of the device.

ANDROID Popular And Cybercriminals

ANDROID  Popular And Cybercriminals

Free running Google's Android open source software runs on the Linux 2.6 kernel and ranked first among the smartphone operating systems - it accounts for 52.5% of the world market. 

In the basic configuration Android all applications run in the so-called sandboxes (Sandbox), ie in closed environments. Therefore, the application can not modify system files and security risks of the whole system are insignificant. The main source of threat when using this operating system is that many devices on the Android platform is pretty easy to get full control over the device, using the existing gaps user is able to acquire all the superuser (Root), which is inherited from the Android Linux.

In such "rutirovannyh" devices superusers can do anything you like, for example, to install the program with features that are not available to ordinary users. Since the Root systems Linux / Unix traditionally has unlimited rights, this fact can use malware. So I wish to get the right Root for your smartphone should all think carefully and carefully apply to the verification of applications for which these rights are a prerequisite. In corporate networks should act unconditional right: a complete ban on the use of devices on the platform Android, which enable the rule Root. 

As for other threats, the experts of the companies Lookout and Kaspersky generally unanimous: the first half of 2012, the number of threats to mobile applications on the Android platform has increased significantly and this growth will continue. In many cases, we are talking about specific smartphone attacks associated with sending SMS. Unfortunately, both administrators and users themselves often underestimate the risks associated with the presence of such breaches in security features .

According to most experts, users of mobile devices threaten the following hazards: 

Mobile pickpockets (fraud by SMS or calls). Such "pickpocketing" are possible thanks to the fact that many mobile phone supports making payments via SMS, as a kind of Android OS by default there are no means of control over such data. Troyan Ggtracker implements one of the first such attack on a system Android; 

All kinds of botnets. Many malicious applications promoted that botnets were involved in a number of mobile devices. Examples include Trojan Geinimi and sufficiently known malicious code Droiddream, which, unfortunately, was found in some applications from the store Android Play Store.

Each device on the Android platform should be present software testing smartphone for possible gaps and provides additional protection. The company's decision Lookout, designed for systems based on Android 2.3.6.
