Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs. Galaxy Note 4: Which Phablet is Better?
The Apple versus Samsung war still continues and while Apple has released the iPhone 6, Samsung is still a few months away from unveiling its next flagship offering, the Galaxy S6. So in the meantime, the iPhone will have to settle with another competitor, the Galaxy Note 4, from Samsung's phablet line.
While there are two size variants of the iPhone 6, to compete with the Galaxy Note 4, the bigger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will be used.
First, a spec rundown.
The Galaxy Note 4 was released October this year and came with the QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display. It also had a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a quad-core 2.7GHz processor and an Adreno 420 GPU.
Only a 32GB internal storage variant is available with 3GB of RAM and microSD card support of up to 128GB. At the back is a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and autofocus. At the front is a 3.7-megapixel camera.
The iPhone 6 Plus on the other hand has a 5.5-inch touchscreen with a full HD display resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) augmented by Apple's Retina display technology. Inside the handset is Apple's 64-bit A8 chip with a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and PowerVR GX6450 GPU.
The handset is available in three storage variants, the 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB all with 1GB of RAM. At the back is an 8-megapixel snapper with dual-LED flash, optical image stabilization and phase detection autofocus. Out front is a 1.2.-megapixel snapper.
The Galaxy Note 4 looks to be the better phone in terms of hardware and display resolution, and has a more powerful camera too. The iPhone 6 Plus performs fairly well though and has no problems with running apps, especially with its 64-bit A8 chip.
