Open your email, press a word then press dictionary.

Battery life also looks great:

As one can see, it seems that Apple has managed to do something quite incredible with battery life. Normally an 1810 mAh battery with 3.82V nominal voltage would be quite a poor performer, but the iPhone 6 is a step above just about every other Android smartphone on the market. The iPhone 6 Plus also has a strong showing, although not quite delivering outrageous levels of battery life the way the Ascend Mate 2 does. That's it for now, but the full review should be coming in the near future.

Which email? Is it not a globally supported feature? What keyboard are you using?

Probably not but on the flip side at least you don't need to leave an app to work out it's definition

Some of the google things give you a search option when you highlight words instead of the dictionary option.
Swiftkey.

Also, some things you can only blanket highlight (like sms's).

you forget 1 thing. the average IQ of an android user is much higher than that of the iOS user, thus the need to look up definitions is not a high priority requirement for us...

Nevermind the Iphones...that Nvidia shield is a beast. The Tegra K1 chipset is to die for.
And I believe that same chipset will be in the new Nexus phone?

I'm using Swiftkey as well, no Dictionary option when words selected, just the standard select all, cut, copy and paste icons at the top.

Very nice. I'm surprised how badly the S5 is doing...

Yea, most give me cut copy paste etc then search or dictionary.
Tapatalk only cut copy and paste.

It's a tablet, not a phone.

I'm using swype, with a keyboard shortcut I can do a web search, but that's not the same.

The GPU of the K1 is monstrous. The Shield benchmarks are insane. But in phones it's all about balance and power consumption and I'm unsure how it fares on that side.

home time bitches... you made for a very unproductive day... and for that, I thank you

It would be better if you could select text more freely in things like sms, tapatalk etc but that would take some of the other speedyness away (quoting, forwarding etc).

I know. Duh. That's why i'm saying I'm looking forward to the phone version coming in the upcoming Nexus.
Sheez.

Hmmm. That might be a problem yes. The battery drain of such a monster chipset.
I have the Tegra 3 chipset in my older Xperia S Tablet and the games on there are much smoother than on my newer and suppose-to-be-faster S4.
Interesting times ahead.
