"iPhone 6S Plus" is pretty much comparable to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" in more ways than one. Not only are they phablets, they are also two of the most anticipated gadgets of 2015. Apple fans always await for the new iPhone, and Samsung fans are also in anticipation of the next Galaxy Note device.
Now that the two gadgets have been released, the battle is so on! Both phones have premium build, and their cameras and specs are better than ever. It's undeniable that both the "iPhone 6S Plus" and the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" are the two of the most impressive gadgets ever. But we need to put them head to head to understand the comparison, so you can decide which phone suits you better.
The DESIGN of the two phones are arguably similar. Both phones are very stylish and can appeal to most buyers. The Note handsets may have disappointed consumers with their designs, but everything has changed with the coming of the Note 5. It has a slim 7.6mm build, a glass back, and a metal frame. It is also easier to grip the whole thing with its edges curved inwards. As a whole, the Note 5 looks really good!
The "iPhone 6S Plus" on the other hand is also a good looking smart device with its heavy metal design. It's actually all metal, slim, and generally looks as good as the "Galaxy Note 5". The only difference between the two gadgets is the Note 5's fingerprint magnet glass back, which isn't a good thing. However, all in all, both phones look great.
The DISPLAY specs of the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" is an impressive 5.7 inch 1440 x 2560 Super AMOLED display. It also has a pixel density of 518 pixels per inch, making it one of the best smartphones you can ever encounter, as far as displays concern. It is super sharp, vibrant, and bright, thanks to the Super AMOLED. To increase your Note 5 craving, it also has an S Pen stylus with a few more stylus tricks that is perfect for your expectations, such as the ability to write notes on the gadget's screen without the need to turn on the device!
The "iPhone 6S Plus" seems to have to up its ante then, but let's not rush into conclusions. The latest iPhone device also has a shot! Its smaller but still big 5.5 inch display with 1080 x 1920 IPS LCD, and its pressure sensitive 3D touch feature will allow the iPhone to compete with the fancy Note 5. Apple also had the best words for the "iPhone 6S Plus", so we can also expect color accuracy and great contrast from the iPhone device.
For the POWER and PERFORMANCE of both phones, the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" may undeniably win the debate. It has a 2.1GHz octa core Exynos 7420 processor and a good RAM of 4GB. These specs means monster performance making the Note 5 able to go through anything you want it to do.
The "iPhone 6S Plus" still has a good fight with its A9 dual core processor. It doesn't sound as beastly as the Note 5's specs but let's not forget, Apple devices are almost perfect when it comes to providing us with smooth operation, so we can't really expect any less from the "iPhone 6S Plus."
For the two phones' CAMERA, Samsung has definitely delivered. With the "Galaxy Note 5," its camera features are as good as expected. It has a 16MP sensor that can take photos with the best quality, even when the lighting isn't that good.
The iPhone 6S Plus' 12 MP back camera and 5 MP front cam also gives nothing but the best photo quality. Like the Note 5, it also has an optical image stabilisation.
BATTERY matters should be one of the topmost priorities of smartphones manufacturers. And Samsung delivers with its 3020 mAh battery that can last a day of fairly heavy usage. The fast and wireless charging that is supported by the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" makes charging very easy in case you actually run out of power.
The "iPhone 6S Plus" battery life is claimed to last 24 hours of talking time or 14 hours of watching HD videos. This claim, if true, makes the iPhone device one of the best when it comes to energy efficiency.
The two devices are also similarly PRICED. The "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" can be acquired for $740, and the "iPhone 6S Plus" is priced at $749. However, the iPhone can be accessed more easily since the Note 5 is only available in the US according to TechRadar.
For the final VERDICT, if we disregard the availability of the phones, the "iPhone 6S Plus" and the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5" go head to head with their specs comparison. So, the only question you oughta ask yourself is whether you want your phone to run the Android platform or the iOS operating system.
