Here's our breakdown of how the iPhone 6 Plus stacks up against the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Pros and Cons of the iPhone 6 Plus:
The iPhone 6 Plus is larger than the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, as it features a 5.5-inch display 
compared to the S5 Plus' 5.1-inch touchscreen. Another advantage is that it is slimmer at just 
7.1mm thickness, while the Galaxy is 1mm thicker.

That being said, it is still an Apple device and has its fair share of limitations, which are typical to the 
iPhone lineage for unknown and unexplained reasons. The iPhone 6 Plus continues to have an 
8-megapixel primary camera, even when the competitive Galaxy phones have 16-megapixel 
camera lenses. It doesn't have any storage expansion slot and as with the previous iPhone, there 
is only 1GB RAM.

Pros and Cons of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus:
The Galaxy S5 Plus fields a higher pixel density at 432ppi even when it has a smaller display. 
Its models feature a microSD storage expansion slot for up to 128GB, and the phone has 2GB 
of RAM, double the memory as in the iPhone 6 Plus. It also has a 16-MP camera lens compared to the 
iPhone's 8-MP lens, and fields a more powerful 2.5-GHz Krait processor compared to the 
iPhone's slower 1.4-GHz A8 CPU.

As already mentioned above, the Galaxy S5 Plus has a smaller 5.1-inch display. At 8.1mm, it is 
1mm thicker than the iPhone. Additionally, it features the use of faux metal in its construction while 
the iPhone 6 Plus is built with an aluminium body. 

Specs:
The iPhone 6 Plus is the largest iPhone to date. Apple broke its screen barrier of 4 inches, which 
has had been the norm for the last two iPhones, and released a 5.5-inch iPhone. The iPhone 6 
Plus is technically a phablet, featuring an LED-backlit IPS LCD display with 1080x1920-pixel 
resolution and 401-ppi pixel density. There are three storage configurations - 16GB, 64GB and 
128GB, supported by 1GB of memory.

The iPhone 6 Plus has an 8-MP rear camera and a 1.2-MP front camera. It has a dual-core A8 
(Apple) CPU that clocks a speed of 1.4-GHz. It runs on iOS 8 and can be upgraded to iOS 8.1. 
Some of the other features of the largest iPhone include Fingerprint Sensor, Siri, iCloud service, 
and a slim 7.1mm aluminium construction. The 2,915 mAh Li-Po battery provides backup for up 
to 24 hours of talktime.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus is the Korean giant's attempt at rivaling Apple's latest spate of 
record iPhone 6/6 Plus sales. It features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution 
of 1080x1920 pixels and pixel density of 432ppi. The phone is available in two storage 
configurations of 16GB and 32GB, and both can be expanded to 128GB. It has 2GB of RAM for 
smoother operation.

The Galaxy S5 Plus is powered by Android KitKat 4.4.2 and has a quad-core Krait 450 processor 
that could clock 2.5GHz. It has a 16-MP primary and 2-MP secondary camera. Other main 
features include Fingerprint Sensor, IP67 certification for resistance to natural elements, and 
Dropbox cloud storage. The 2,800 mAh Li-ion battery supports up to 24 hours of talktime.

Talking Points:
The iPhone 6 Plus was released along with the iPhone 6 in September 2014. It is the largest 
iPhone yet and a rare one at that as Apple breaks the 5-inch display barrier, which was in fact
normal for most of its competitors. The company claims to have received over 4 million iPhone 
6/6 Plus pre-orders and sold a staggering 10 million units within just 3 days of release, a record 
for Apple. Recently, there have been reports of random crash and reboot in a few 128-GB iPhone 
6 Plus models. It is expected that the issue may have risen because of some problem with the 
TLC NAND flash storage in the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus version.

Prices: 
The iPhone 6 Plus 128-GB model is available at $1,200 on Amazon. The T-Mobile versions start 
from $649.99. The Samsung Galaxy S5 starts at a price of $649.99 for the 16GB Sprint model.

Conclusion:
The iPhone 6 Plus continues to be the typical member of the iPhone family. The only difference 
is that it is the largest iPhone yet. It continues with the configuration of 1GB RAM, a slower 
CPU, 8-MP camera and no storage expansion, which has been the case with the previous iPhones 
too. The Galaxy S5 Plus is more powerful, has more RAM, has a 16-MP primary camera, and 
weighs just 145g compared to the iPhone's weight of 172g. Overall, the Galaxy S5 Plus appears to be the better deal.
