iPhone 6 Plus vs. Galaxy Note 4: The Big Bang

5 November 2014
Apple did the unthinkable while predictable Samsung delivers again. Right or wrong, this is a fight of old versus new, the Galaxy Note is in its fourth generation while the iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's...

    I own both devices and I got to say they both have their merits. The only reason why I have both devices is because I can't decide which one to keep. I am a devoted Android user but I also have to give Apple some credit when it deserves it.

    I love my Galaxy Note 4 but as many have already mentioned, it lags. Plenty of times already I have had the feeling of throwing the phone across the room because of it. Keyboard at times takes forever to pop up, camera app takes a while to open, jumping back to home screen takes a while, etc. I do not suffer these same issues with the iPhone 6 Plus.

    In functionality and performance the 6 Plus wins, but again I am an Android user and tend to miss the customizations and extra features Android provides me. In the end I am selling my Note 4 and keeping the 6 Plus even though I feel like I'm downgrading. I'm doing this because iOS is in fact more stable than what Samsung is offering me with the Note 4.

      AnonD-174082, 25 Nov 2014Apple looses. End of. The 6plus has a display from Andro... moreYes. Many people are even more satisfied with cheap less than 200 dollar or even less than 100 dollar android phones because they still offer more.
      The iPhone at that point just has better specs.

      One of my friends even misses her Evo 3d from HTC despiteit not being as fast and that she had it replaced 5 times because it still did more for her than her new iPhone

        I have a Galaxy Note 4, therefore I'm 100% sure that the vídeo of Note 4 with the OIS which is supposed to be turned on is not the reality. The OIS is pretty decent, not even close of what was shown.

          Apple looses.
          End of.
          The 6plus has a display from Android of old. 2013. How do I know? I have an LG G Pro from 2013. Same specs.
          Samsung wins.
          Display size? Samsung wins. A display that's a full 2mm longer.
          Display beauty? Samsung wins again. With QHD!! Have you people SEEN it?
          And then there's the wacon inspired S pen! It's outrageous! Versatile. Once you learn it, it's almost indispensable.
          Look, if the Note 4 were instead made by Apple, GSMARENA.COM would swear it was the second coming. The icons on the Apple 6 plus are ruined. Look close. Now look at the icons on the Note 4. Or for that matter at the LG G3. AND the G3 is shorter than the Apple 6 plus. LG and Samsung have far more experience engineering phablets and it shows.
          Apple is at least 3 years behind. And THAT'S an honest opinion. Based in side by side comparisons.
          The Apple's icons edges.. Horrible.
          The 6 plus body? Huge in relation to display size.
          The LG, Note 4, OPPO Find 7, and other Androids. More experience, superior engineering, and it shows.
          The 6 plus=Fail. Period.

            admin123, 23 Nov 2014Samsung wins almost all specs.. except 1: PERFORMANCE... moreUm they are pretty matched in performance. Until you account that the Note 4 is doing much more and functions way better.
            the Exynos version actually wins most speed tests compared to the iPhone. ..even the snapdragon version wins some.
            And iPhone is on the latest IOS while the Note is on kitkat winning still.
            plus on top of that....how can it perform better when it has more bugs and TONS more crashes?

            And the Snapdragon version will run decently better even more so on Android 5.0 while the Exynos will see some marginally larger increases with 64bit enabled.

                "Even better, Apple took the first steps in capitalizing the extra screen real-estate with landscape mode"

                And Galaxy Mega didn't have landscape mode?
                Everything "new" Apple does is taken from other companies

                      Touchwiz makes my Note 4 lag though it rarely occured. I've disabled many apps which came pre-installed and which I don't really need in my everyday life. Now I'm satisfied with it, the lag is long gone now. I've been using using my Note 4 for almost two months now and I'm happy with it just like my previous Note 3.

                            Anyway will see whether NOTE 4 became buggy product or not.. (I know its must be a buggy bcos its from samsung)

                              IOS and iPhone has had endless bugs. And restarting on android is not common and IOS is not immune to it.

                              And IOS apps can access just as much sensitive data.
                              and if they are checked for quality why do they crash over and over and over?

                                    Totally different two devices imo..iphone 6 plus is nothing but an iphone with bigger screen, stable and super smooth os, simple user interface and absolutely fast as a rocket..note 4 is great device with endless customizable os and smart features, great camera probably the best in a smart phone so far..what i want to say is each device has its own great features and there is nothing such as one is better..its all about needs
