I Switched From an iPhone 6 Plus to a Moto E....and i love it....

Hello and welcome back to another installment of...


I (Matthew) will get straight to the point.....

 I recently purchased a Motorola 360 smartwatch, and yes,  I was using it with the iPhone 6 Plus, with the help of the applications that bypassed the boundary of operating system discrimination. (lol) 

And just like everyone else, i had issues with the Bluetooth Connection dropping, so i decided to grab a Motorola E (unlocked), that just so happened to be on sale from Best Buy, and I have been using it for a few days now. 

Granted... The Motorola E (on paper) is a significant step backwards in the spec department when compared to a Flagship like the iPhone 6 Plus (128gb)..

but in reality...they are more alike than they are different. 

The Motorola E is missing a front facing camera as well as a flash on the rear. Ill give you that..

however, what shocked me the most about this budget device was its performance. 

with everyday use, its responses to commands and switching applications, loading videos, and consuming various kinds of media was comparable if not matching the experience I've gathered with the iPhone 6 Plus. I wont even mention how well it works with the Moto 360. (even though i just did).

my point is, a device that cost me all of $45 (after tax), in my opinion, should not work as well as a device that cost $1000. there should be a more significant difference between the two, you know, to match that significant price gap. I expected issues with certain services that the Moto E offered, and i was met with shock and awe. 

Needless to say, that in the future i will definitely test many more devices and review them accordingly, but the award of the most surprising smartphone for the price goes to the Motorola E. 

Even if it (Moto E) doesn't have the hardware to go toe-to-toe with an iPhone, the software amazingly keeps up with a device that was claimed to be, the best thing yet. 

But we all know how that goes...

The Note 4 Is Awesome! So why am I buying an iPhone 6?

WELCOME BACK TO.....


"The Galaxy Note 4 is easily the smart phone of the 2014-2015 tech year!"
a statement I made not even 2 hours ago...

The features it houses not only defeat the competition, but embarrasses the competitors. 
and given those reasons alone, it should the the obvious choice for me to upgrade to it (from the note 3).

Right?

So why did I (Matthew) find my self calling AT&T to reserving the 128gb Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus?

ME! 

of all people...

calling to reserve an iPhone...

its even hard to type out..
................

Why did i do it you ask?

Because I'm a die-hard Android Fan...

Let me Explain..

Yes, I  am one of Android's main advocates and have been for years, Since Verizon released their first "Droid" actually. and for the past 6 or 7 years (how ever long its been), I have only used products that have reflected such. Plus, given the fact that the last time I held an iPhone was when the 3GS was released. It occurred to me that I have not given Apple a chance at all.  And I've judged them for 7 years based on the underwhelming 3GS model. Now i must admit, that's not fair! And if I'm going to be an unbiased tech reviewer working for this great blog, it would be our (TechExpo's) best interest to have insight on ALL sides of tech, Apple included. So because of my appreciation for android, I'm buying an iPhone to get first hand experience of how and why people choose Apple over Android in the first place...

 "Apparently, people enjoy Apple products for some reason. What might that reason be?"

"What makes the iPhone so amazing, that causes people all over the world to want one?"

This were the thoughts that ran through my head as we were preparing the blog for the iPhone 6.
Admittedly, I jumped to conclusions that nothing has changed and the device simply was not worth our time reporting on.

and again, that's not fair.

So with that being said, On the 19th of September
I will be using my upgrade to purchase an iPhone, for the first time ever in my android-filled life.

And since the iPhone 6 Plus is now in a category to be compared with the Galaxy Note 4 and Note 3 (since i still have it)...


Now we have a message from the TechExpo's Administration.....

We here at TechExpo will be doing just that.

Comparing and Contrasting Every Single, Solitary Feature.

That is our Job after all, and (Matthew) will be the guinea pig for this experiment.

Don't worry, if he doesn't like it, you all WILL be the first to know.

We will also have the Note 4 in hand to review as well...

The Comparisons Game just got Real!
