this episode of android authority is brought to you by harry's welcome back to android weekly my name is Jace and this past week saw some good news regarding Google's new in box and we compared a little bit the iphone 6 plus vs Shamu that has been Nexus 6 and 4 you battery hogs out there we talked about how some of you can save as much as forty percent on your battery consumption oh alright so if you're like me you spend a lot of time emailing more than you'd like to you'd know that a lot of your email is associated with tasks that you have to do so when you send or receive an email you have to do something after that you have to call someone email someone work on something and Google's inbox is trying to make an effort to confuse those two tasks together they're also trying to allow you to group a lot of your emails together which makes it easier to get to inbox zero which has been a fantasy up until today please for me Google's goal within boxes to totally reinvent email by creating an intelligent system to sort information and bundle things into groups so you can better figure out what is worth reading right now and what's worth just dismissing beyond this inbox sort of acts like a personal assistant with reminders the ability to snooze items and even create to do's speaking of to do's and reminders if you write a reminder to call the hardware store for example inbox will supply the stores a phone number and tell you when its open assist works for your email too if you make a restaurant reservation online inbox adds a map to your confirmation email book a flight online and in box gives you a link to check in alright so I was lucky enough to get an invite to Google's inbox and I've been using the past couple days and so far love it it's fantastic my only concern is ads when will the ads be coming if ever now I would be willing to pay for the subscription I suspect many of you would too it's a gorgeous clean interface I don't want that to change just bundle it with Google business apps come on mother Google gimme some now many people out there will want to compare the whale of a phone that is the nexus 6 and the iphone 6 plus so now we're going to just do a brief segment facing these two beasts off here we go first let's start with the display we find that the nexus 6 has a strong head start here the iphone 6 plus is full HD 1080p display catches up with last year's Android devices but the Nexus 6 is 1440p display provides a little extra clarity in this extra-large handset size the other half of the display battle comes down to the classic AMOLED vs LCD arguments here we should expect the nexus 6 AMOLED display to feature better black reproduction and slightly wider color gamut we found that the AMOLED display offers a little bit more pop colors than most other LCD displays now let's talk ram ram might play a bigger part in multitasking performance here and the nexus 6 feature's 3 gigabytes plenty for all situations even given androids tendency to use more memory than iOS Apple seems to do well with limited resources when it comes to ram but I can't help but feel that the one gigabyte of RAM could become an issue for more intense multitaskers alright so that's just to the hardware features I want to talk about but I also wanted to talk about the ecosystems because there's a reality here if you're like me you've been using iTunes for more than 10 years and over that time I've been accumulating media like almost 20 gigs of music and more audio books movies videos all that stuff within the iTunes ecosystem and it's just much easier to use them on iOS and Apple devices if I want to use them on Android devices i first have to convert them with a program like double twist double tues was fantastic by the way you should check that out if you're an Android lover or you're converting from iOS to Android so that is a factor do you have a huge ecosystem in itunes and if so are you going to be willing to transfer it over you need to consider that now if you're a man like me you enjoy shopping for razors about as much as you enjoy getting fishville invites from facebook yeah not too much but if I neglect it I have to resort to more painful methods to remove those hairy hairs on three ready with its clean and elegant design Harry's is focused on providing guys with a great shaving experience at a fraction of the price of their competitors this allows you the convenience and ease of ordering online and then you get those great high quality blades engineered at their own factory in Germany for sharpness and strength and they've officially launched two new products foaming shaving gel and aftershave moisturizer now if you go to Harry's calm and use the promo code Android you get five dollars off your first purchase check it out so one of the age old debates when it comes to saving on battery consumption is how worth wild if at all is it to use apps or graphics that have dark screens because if you're using bright screens the theory is that the battery has to use more juice to fuel those brighter screens obviously it must have some effect the question is how much and now we know to put this theory to the test green be calm grab the latest Moto X which features a 1080p AMOLED display and an app to measure current draw from the battery the amount of current draw was then measured at repeat intervals using two different display modes on the reddit sync app which then switches between colored and mostly black backgrounds and the verdict is forty percent that's fantastic now there are other factors that will influence that whether or not you're in the bright Sun you may not be able to use apps like that but if your app or phone has the option you should do it alright thanks for watching edward army my name is Jace love to connect with you right here on google+ or twitter i read all the comments usually the first 72 hours all of them can't reply to them all but i will read them don't forget about my brothers in android Joss Joe in the tech ninja Kevin all working really hard to deliver the best android content on the web see you next week on Edward be clean
