Samsung Galaxy Note 4 VS Iphone 6 Plus by caukerzee(m): 7:48pm On Nov 27, 2014
[size=19pt]SIZE[/size]

Despite having a smaller screen, the iPhone 6 Plus is 3 percent longer than the Galaxy Note 4.

The iPhone 6 Plus isn't as thin as its little brother, the iPho6ne 6, but it is still 13 percent thinner than the Note 4.
[size=19pt]WEIGHT[/size]

The iPhone 6 Plus is just 2 percent lighter than the Note 4.
[size=19pt]BUILD[/size]

The iPhone 6 Plus has a smooth aluminum unibody build, taking some design cues from the latest (two-year-old) iPod touch. The Note 4, though comfortable to hold, is made of a faux leather plastic.

The Note 4 does, however, have a metal band running around its edge. In previous Samsung devices, that band was a metallic-looking plastic.
[size=19pt]COLOURS[/size]

We're looking at three color options for the iPhone 6 Plus and four for the Note 4.
[size=16pt]DISPLAY SIZE[/size]

The iPhone 6 Plus is unquestionably a phablet, but its screen size hasn't quite caught up with Samsung's. The Note 4 gives you 7 percent more screen than the iPhone does.
[size=19pt]DISPLAY RESOLUTION[/size]

This is the first 1080p iPhone, and it should look noticeably sharper than the 750p iPhone 6.

If you want pixels, though, the Note 4 is the place to go. It has a Quad HD display that packs in 78 percent more pixels than the iPhone 6 Plus does.

The iPhone's 1080p is going to be more than sharp enough for most people, but my eyes do enjoy the insane pixel density that you get from Quad HD displays.
[size=19pt]DISPLAY TYPE[/size]

We're looking at an IPS panel in the iPhone, next to Super AMOLED for the Note 4. The latter always has blacker blacks and typically has higher contrast and richer colors ... but we'll need to put the iPhone 6 Plus through the paces before jumping to conclusions.
[size=19pt]STYLUS[/size]

These two have a lot in common, but this might be the biggest point of difference. Though you can swipe and tap the Note's screen with your finger, the Galaxy Note experience centers around Samsung's stylus, the S Pen.

Samsung says that this newest S Pen has double the pressure sensitivity of the one we saw in the Note 3.
[size=19pt]FINGER PRINT SENSOR[/size]

Both phablets have fingerprint sensors, but the iPhone's Touch ID is more convenient. With it, you simply rest your finger on the home button for a brief moment. Samsung's sensor requires you to swipe your finger and, at least on the Galaxy S5, I often have to do it a couple times before it registers.
[size=19pt]NFC[/size]

The two latest iPhones are the first to carry NFC chips. That's nothing new for Android handsets like the Galaxy Note 4.
[size=19pt]NFC PAYMENTS[/size]

While services like Google Wallet and Soft Card (formerly Isis) have been trying to establish NFC-based tap-and-pay payments for years, to say they haven't set the world on fire would be a vast understatement.

So while Apple Pay is hardly the first player in the NFC payments game, it could be the first to take off. The popularity of the iPhone combined with some clever marketing and leverage with retailers could be the secret sauce that the technology has been missing.
[size=19pt]BATTERY[/size]

[size=19pt]ULTRA POWER SAVING[/size]

This may be the most innovative software feature Samsung has created. Ultra Power Saving Mode can prevent your Note 4 from running out of juice when things are getting tight. It basically turns your device into a multitouch feature phone, with only the bare essential apps and services available, but can stretch 10 percent juice into 24 hours of battery life.
[size=16pt]FAST CHARGING[/size]
The Note 4 also has a fast charging feature, that can juice your phablet from 0 to 50 percent in "about half an hour."
[size=19pt]CAMERA[/size]

[size=19pt]OIS[/size]

Apart from size and number of pixels, this is one of the few differences between the iPhones 6 and 6 Plus. This larger model has Optical Image Stabilization, to help cut down on the effects of shaky hands. The Note 4 uses this technology as well.
[size=19pt]SPLIT SCREEN MULTITASKING[/size]

It's a little surprising that Apple didn't add a side-by-side multitasking mode to the large-screen iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung's Note line has offered the feature for several generations now.

Samsung's Multi Window is a handy feature, and it should be a bit easier to remember now that it's tied to the Note's Recent Apps button. But its Achilles' heel is that it's only compatible with a select group of apps.
[size=19pt]ONE-HANDED MODE[/size]

This is an important software feature to have on a phablet. With all of that screen, you can lose the ability to reach everything while using the device with one hand. Both of these phablets have software-based workarounds.

On the iPhone, Apple lets you slide the top of the screen down to the bottom by double-tapping the home button. This ignores the issue of typing with one hand, but it should help out in most other cases.

On the Note 4, a gesture shrinks the entire screen down to a manageable one-handed size. This has the advantage of shrinking the keyboard as well.
[size=19pt]STORAGE[/size]

Storage options are mixed, with the iPhone starting lower, but maxing out with a more spacious 128 GB option.
[size=19pt]MICRO SD CARD[/size]
The Note 4 can help to make up for that, though, with its microSD card slot.
[size=19pt]PROSESSOR
[/size]


It's too early to have much to say about the new iPhones' A8 chip, but it goes up against the zippy Snapdragon 805.

The LTE version of the Note 4 gets the Snapdragon 805 listed above, but the HSPA version will have an octa-core Samsung Exynos CPU in its place.
[size=19pt]RAM[/size]

[size=19pt]INFRARED[/size]

Like many recent Android flagships, the Note 4 has a built-in IR blaster, letting you control your TV (and cable/satellite box) with your device.
[size=16pt]VIRTUAL REALITY[/size]

If you want to step into the Matrix, then the Note 4 can help. It's the only device that's compatible with Samsung's new Gear VR headset.
[size=19pt]SMART WATCH COMPATIBILITY[/size]

There are other smartwatches that are compatible with each platform, but these are the most popular choices.

A recent iPhone, like the 6 Plus, will be required for using the upcoming Apple Watch, while Android handsets like the Note 4 are needed to pair with Android Wear watches (like the Moto 360). The Note 4 also plays nicely with Samsung's line of Gear watches.
[size=19pt]SOFTWARE[/size]

The new iPhones will launch alongside iOS 8, which, among other changes, finally brings third-party keyboards to iOS. The Note 4 runs Android 4.4 KitKat at its core, with Samsung's TouchWiz UI sitting between you and it.

Which is the better phone?

The iPhone 6+ is a smartphone with good specs but nothing worth its #150,000+ price.

The Note 4 is the only smartphone that has specs rivalling the LG G3, and the LG G3 is the best smartphone of 2014 (according to me and PC advisor).

That should tell you something.

LG G3 being the best phone in 2014 is your personal opinion. Don't use that as basis for your argument.

Unfortunately, Nokia has stopped making phones. Microsoft has taken over completely now. and history has shown how Microsoft always fail when it comes to things like this.

"ZOMBIE" is what I call brand enthusiasts like you. We are looking for value for money and not some brand logo that represents lame status symbol.

Many people can. In fact, these phone sell more than them low ends and mid-rangers. The manufacturers announce millions of units of these phones sold at the end of the day. The smaller phones never sell as much. Not everyone is like you. That you cannot afford them doesn't mean others can't. I'll always call brand enthusiasts like you zombies.

U are foolish u made me known when you said these phones sells more than mid range phones how many people for your family dey use iphone 6 or note4 if it reach 10 then am the foolish one if not u know your name " d most foolish one"
This comment you made just shows how clueless and uninformed you are. The Galaxy S4 is Samsung's most sold phone which is a high end device likewise the iPhone 5s for Apple. Next time you want to argue on something make sure you have even a little knowledge of it. That you and your family members are brokeasses doesn't mean everyone else is poverty stricken. Speak for yourself and your family. The high end phones from the top manufacturers like Apple and Samsung always sell more units than their other lines of mid-rangers and low ends. Bloody retard!!!.

lets focus on nigeria the country d most foolish one quoting me hails from you say samsung s4 is highest sales....u dumbass
Fuktard!! Stop embarrassing yourself with these re+added comments already. Samsung have sold more than 40 million S4s till date. The highest number of units of any of their Galaxy flagships.
Samsung shipped more than 20 million S4 smartphones by June 30, which is around 1.7 times faster than the Galaxy S III. As of October 23, 2013, Samsung has sold over 40 million S4 units six months after release.
