iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Comparison, Specs Review: New Phablets Battle It Out
Known for years for having not joined the phablet wars, Apple has now released its first wide-screened iPhone 6 Plus. With a 5.5-inch display, the recently-launched phone is more likely seen as a "smaller, more connected iPad."
Revealed just days before the iPhone flagship, the Galaxy Note 4 is set to be the successor of the already "undisputed king" of the phablet world. The question now is, how will the two fare against each other? Here's a round-up of comparison and specs review of the iPhone 6 Plus to that of the Galaxy Note 4.
Processors:
In terms of performance the iPhone 6 Plus was seen to have the latest 64-bit Apple processor A8 that is reported to be 1.4 GHz and is paired with 2GB RAM. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 4 has a 2.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor or octa-core Exynos 5433 processor (depends on the region) and a 3GB or RAM.
Build Specs:
The iPhone 6 Plus sees the departure of Apple's signature "squarish" edgy design as it now comes with a smoother and rounder build. Of course, it still comes with rigid aluminum casings but is comparatively thinner than its predecessors. The Galaxy Note 4, on the other hand, dons a curved glass front with a faux leather rear covering.
Display Resolution:
For users who are quite particular with display resolutions, they might find the Samsung Galaxy Note 4's screen a winner. With a 5.7-inch Quad-HD Super AMOLED with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 display, the GN4 is simply stunning. However, the iPhone 6 Plus couldn't be far from better as it comes with a 5.5-inch Retina HD screen set in a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Camera-technology:
One of the most important key aspects, the camera is yet again another defining factor for buyers out there. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features a mindblowing 16MP rear-facing camera and a 3.7 MP front snapper. Both packed with the revolutionary Optical Image Stabilization technology, the new Apple flagship however has only an 8MP shooter and a 1.2 MP front camera.
Storage:
Another big issue is the storage. The Galaxy Note 4 comes with 32GB memory (out of pack) and is expandable up to 128GB thanks to its microSD slot. The iPhone 6 Plus, on the other hand, has up to 128GB (out of pack) option though it doesn't have an expandable storage option.
Battery:
Talking about battery, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 takes pride with its 3,220 mAh battery matched with Ultra Power Saving Mode. Despite its 2,915 mAh battery, the iPhone 6 Plus promises a 12 hours of enjoyment and use.
