Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4

In our detailed comparison of
the two giant screen phones
, we pitted iPhone 6 Plus and
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 against
each other. Here are the results…
Smartphone battles won't get bigger than this. At least for now! Samsung's successful premium phablet Galaxy Note's latest iteration Galaxy Note 4 this time faces an all-new, mighty competitor in Apple's iPhone 6 Plus.

For three years, Samsung's Galaxy Note series virtually ruled the top-end phablet segment. But with Apple (rather belatedly) entering the segment, Samsung finally may have to worry about retaining its monopoly. In our detailed comparison of the two giant screen phones, we pitted them against each other. Here are the results...



Design:

Apple and Samsung have taken contrasting approach to design with their respective phablets. While iPhone 6 Plus is all about curves, Galaxy Note 4 is characterized by sharper lines and edges. Neither phablet will, however, win the award for best-designed device of the year.

Like the last two years' iPhones, iPhone 6 Plus is also made of aluminium and glass which exudes a premium feel. However, there are more misses than hits with its design.


iPhone 6 Plus's curved body makes it convenient to operate with one hand, but also makes it susceptible to frequent drops. During the time we spent with the Apple phablet, we found that despite the matte-finish back, it is rather slippery and we had to be extra careful during one-hand usage. The curved glass around the screen makes it quite easy to swipe the thumb from the left of the screen to go one step back in apps.
