Apple produce cele mai solide smartphone-uri, iPhone-urile ar fi cu pana la 300% mai rezistente decat terminalele Samsung

  Desi pare foarte greu de crezut, compania Apple este prezentata drept producatorul celor mai rezistente smartphone-uri de catre cei de la FixYa, o companie care detine un website dedicat rezolvarii problemelor terminalelor mobile. Conform datelor colectate din peste 700.000 de probleme raportate pe propriul website, cei de la FixYa sustin ca Apple produce cele mai rezistente terminale mobile, acestea fiind cu pana la 300% mai solide decat cele ale Samsung. Nokia ocupa pozitia a treia in acest top, in timp ce Motorola a ocupat pozitia a patra.

  Printre principalele probleme ale iPhone-urilor se numara autonomia bateriei, lipsa unor functii noi, imposibilitatea de a personaliza terminalele, in timp ce in cazul produselor Samsung microfonul si difuzoarele externe au cauzat cele mai mari probleme. Terminalele Nokia au fost acuzate ca ruleaza sisteme de operare ce raspund greu la comenzi si ca au foarte putine aplicatii disponibile pentru ele, iar in cazul Motorola aplicatiile preinstalate si touchscreen-urile au generat cele mai multe plangeri din partea utilizatorilor.

  Ca sa fiu sincer, problemele luate in calcul de catre companie nu pot fi intotdeauna comparate in mod egal, mai ales ca lipsa de functii noi si imposibilitatea de a personaliza un terminal nu este o problema reala, fizica sau software. iPhone-urile sunt in general fragile si nu rezista chiar atat de bine la impactul cu solul, asa ca priviti acest studiu cu o buna doza de scepticism.

New FixYa Report Finds iPhones 300% More Reliable Than Samsung Smartphones, While Motorola Devices Rate Least Dependable

Report details persistent issues across smartphone lines, with iPhones having consistent battery problems; Motorola preinstalling unnecessary bloatware; Samsung smartphones registering microphone problems; and Nokia’s laggy interface.     

SAN MATEO, CALIF. (February 22nd, 2013) – Today FixYa, the leading product Q&A destination on the web and mobile, announces the release of a new report comparing the number of fix-it requests across top smartphone manufacturers – pitting them head-to-head to see which smartphone line is the more reliable. The FixYa Smartphone Reliability Report covers the Apple iPhone, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy, and Nokia Lumia smartphone lines, with Apple roughly three times more reliable than Samsung, five times more reliable than Nokia, and a whopping 25 times more reliable than Motorola. By looking at the top issues with each manufacturer, the FixYa Smartphone Reliability Report seeks to provide clarity to consumers by highlighting the main troubleshooting trends across these four standout companies.

FixYa’s Smartphone Reliability Report uses information based on hundreds of thousands of troubleshooting requests posted by consumers through its product Q&A site and iOS mobile app. By combining and analyzing data from 722,558 combined problem impressions, and bringing in manufacturer market share data from StatCounter, FixYa has assigned each manufacturer a Smartphone Reliability Score. The fewer problem impressions the company had relative to their market share, the higher the score. The Smartphone Reliability brand scores were as follows:

·       Apple: 3.47

·       Samsung: 1.21

·       Nokia: 0.68

·       Motorola: 0.13

Below are the major trends found within the FixYa Smartphone Reliability Report:

·       With a reliability score almost three times higher than second-placed Samsung, Apple dominates the reliability test with the fewest number of problem impressions relative to market share. Even with complaints of battery life, users can’t get enough of the dead simple user interface, even if it is less customizable.

·       With the lowest reliability score of all four manufacturers and also the lowest market share, Motorola smartphone users have constantly been let down by an overwhelming number of problems (a total of 136,436 problem impressions on FixYa), whether it’s touchscreen issues, speaker and camera quality, or the fact that Motorola devices come with preinstalled bloatware that cannot be removed.

·       Samsung, with the second highest FixYa Reliability Score, has users loving the overall screen quality and enjoyable user interface across their products. Still, microphone and speaker issues remain a big problem, seeing as how smartphones are foremost meant to make and receive phone calls.

·       Nokia smartphones, with the 3rd lowest FixYa Reliability Score, tend to have much slower load times than other smartphones – and have a lacking app ecosystem with Windows Phone (although it is growing quickly). Nokia’s one saving grace seems to be the Lumia, which has seen strong sales and boasts a super durable screen and outer shell.

Below are the top five problems for each manufacturer in the FixYa Smartphone Reliability Report, and the percentage of troubleshooting requests that fall into each problem category:

Top 5 Apple Issues:

1.    Battery Life – 35%
