Here's our breakdown of how the IPhone 6 Plus stacks up against the Galaxy Note 3.

Pros and Cons of the IPhone 6 Plus:
The iPhone 6 Plus is the largest iPhone yet. It has higher 401-ppi pixel density compared 
to the 386-ppi screen in the Galaxy Note 3, which means more vivid pictures. Apple may 
not have yet provided any expandable memory slot in the iPhone, but the highest-storage 
model (128GB) has more space than the Note 3 with the highest storage capacity. The 
iPhone 6 Plus weighs 172 g even with an aluminium body. On the other hand, the Galaxy 
Note 3 weighs just 4g less even with a faux leather and faux metal plastic body.

But the iPhone 6 Plus is still an Apple and it still has its hortfalls - a relatively 
smaller display, an 8-megapixel camera compared to a 13-megapixel camera in the Note 3, 
and a mere 1GB RAM compared to the Galaxy phablet's 3GB RAM.

Pros and Cons of the Galaxy Note 3:
The Galaxy Note 3 has many advantages over the iPhone 6 Plus. It has a larger display at 5.7-
inch, a better primary camera with a 13-megapixel lens, and expandable storage.

The only flaw in the Note 3 seems to be its less vivid screen, which has a density of just 386 
ppi compared to the iPhone 6 Plus' 401 ppi.

Specs:
The iPhone 6 Plus is a phablet measuring just 7.1 mm in thickness and with a larger (5.5-
inch) display than its predecessor. The LED-backlit IPS LCD display has a 1080x1920-pixel 
resolution and 401-ppi pixel density. Apple has stuck to its 8-megapixel primary camera 
configuration. Similarly, the secondary camera has also remained 
to be the same 1.2-megapixel lens. The phablet is available in three storage models - 16GB, 
64GB and 128GB. There is no memory expansion slot and the RAM continues to be 1GB. 

The iPhone 6 Plus runs on iOS 8, which could be upgraded to iOS 8.1. Additional features 
include fingerprint sensor, iCloud service, Siri and Apple Pay. The phone has a 1.4-GHz, dual-core Apple A8 CPU. The phablet delivers more than 24 hours of talktime, 80 hours of music 
play and 384 hours of standby time.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 8.3 mm thick and features a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display. 
The touchscreen has 1080x1920-pixel resolution and 386 ppi pixel density. The phablet is 
available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB configurations, with storage expansion capacity up to 
64GB. The phone has 3GB LPDDR3 memory, and is available in three CPU configurations - a 
1.3-GHz octa-core Cortex A7, 1.9-GHz octa-core Cortex A15, and a 2.3-GHz quad-core Krait. 

The Galaxy Note 3 has a 13-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel secondary 
camera. It is powered by Android Jelly Bean 4.3, but can be upgraded to KitKat. The phablet 
features a S Pen Stylus and comes with 50GB of storage on Dropbox.

Talking Points:
The iPhone 6 Plus is the current-generation phablet while the Galaxy Note 3 is a previous-generation device. Apple received more than 4 million pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 
Plus combined together. Over 10 million of the smartphone and phablets were sold within 
the first 3 days, which is an unmatched record for the company.

The Note 3 was released in September 2013 and the iPhone 6 Plus appeared in the market 
a year later. The Android phablet was introduced at the IFA Berlin in September 2013 and 
released the same month. The Korean major sold more than 5 million Note 3's within the 
first month and another 5 million in the next month - a record for Samsung. Even today 
the phablet is an in-demand device among Samsung fans.

Prices: 
The iPhone 6 Plus is available at an outright price of $750, while the Galaxy Note 3 is 
available at prices starting at $500 on Amazon.

Conclusion:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is easily a better phablet compared to Apple's flagship device. Even with the largest iPhone, Apple has failed to learn a lot of lessons and could have done better with - more RAM, more powerful CPU, a more powerful camera, and an expansion slot.
