iPhone 6 Plus vs Galaxy Note 4 Review: Comparison of Specs, Features in Clash Between Titans
Comparing the iPhone 6 Plus with the Galaxy Note 4 is like arranging a clash between two titans as both phablets are very much alike on the surface. However, one major difference is the stylus on the Galaxy Note 4, which allows for precision typing – one that cannot be done on iPhone 6 Plus by using fingers.
Starting with the size of the phablets, the 6 Plus is about 7 percent taller than the Note 4. However, as the iPhone 6 Plus has wider bezels, the Galaxy Note 4 has a bigger 5.7 inch display.
Coming to the colors in the displays, many reviewers have noted that the iPhone 6 Plus has a slight edge over the Galaxy Note 4 even though it has lower resolution. As far as audio goes, the Galaxy Note 4 provides better output than the iPhone 6 Plus.
In a battle between the operating systems of both phones, the ability to customize the screen and run apps in split screen mode help the Galaxy Note 4 score over the iPhone 6 Plus. However, in terms of performance, both phablets are evenly matched as the Galaxy Note 4 is faster when it comes to system-wide performance while the iPhone 6 Plus has faster graphics display and browser speeds.
Where the Galaxy Note 4 dominates the iPhone 6 Plus is in the special features category. The Note 4's NFC for instance allows devices to be paired by just tapping them together. The Galaxy Note 4, sources say, allows for mobile-based payments, while the 6 Plus only has Apple Pay. The Note 4 also has other unique features such as a heart rate sensor and S Pen stylus which are not available with the iPhone 6 Plus.
Finally, many reviewers have noted that one area that helps the Galaxy Note 4 edge out the iPhone 6 Plus is storage capacity. $200 allows users to buy a 16GB iPhone 6 Plus while the same amount is already sufficient to purchase a 32GB Galaxy Note 4. Even though the Galaxy Note 4 comes with 32GB onboard storage, it can easily be expanded to 128 GB using the microSD Card slot.
