The Nexus 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are widely considered as top-of-the-line phablets that are evenly matched in terms of specs and design.
Samsung has gone all out to ensure that the Galaxy Note 4 has the best design elements. The phone has its back panel in faux leather and added a silver rim and the S-Pen stylus. The Nexus 6, in comparison, has a sturdier metal-based back panel which is soft to touch and has a narrow bezel around its display.

Compared to this, the Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixels and a better pixel density of 515 pixels per inch. The super AMOLED helps the Galaxy Note edge out Nexus 6 in this department as it provides better color saturation and brightness.
When it comes to specs, the Nexus 6 and the Galaxy Note 4 have the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor chip coupled with the Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 CPU and Adreno 420 GPU. When it comes to RAM, they also have the same 3GB version.

Compared to this, the Galaxy Note 4 has a 16-megapixel camera at the back and a 3.7-megapixel camera in front. However, when it comes to low-light shots, the Galaxy Note 4 performs better than the Nexus 6.
