Here's our breakdown of how the iPhone 6 Plus stacks up against the Galaxy Note 4.

Pros and Cons of the iPhone 6 Plus:

There are some powerful features that give the iPhone 6 an edge over the Galaxy Note 4. It can capture slow-motion videos at 240 fps. It has Touch ID for fingerprint identification and it can shoot time lapse videos without any extra apps.

But the iPhone 6 Plus is still an Apple device and the brand has a well known tendency to stick to some unexplained limitations. The phablet has an 8-MP primary camera and a 1.2-MP secondary camera. The Galaxy Note 4 has twice as powerful cameras in it. The iPhone's IPS LCD screen cannot compare to the vibrant colors of the Note 4's Super AMOLED display.

Pros and Cons of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4:

The Note 4 can be claimed to be a more powerful and feature-loaded phablet compared to the iPhone 6 Plus. A larger display and more pixel density mean a more vivid screen. Its 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display is larger and features a pixel density of 515 ppi. The 16-MP primary camera and 3.7-MP secondary camera are also superior to that of the Apple phablet.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a 2.7-GHz quad-core CPU, which is considered to be twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 Plus' processor. A microSD card slot can expand the storage to 128GB and the 3GB RAM is certainly better than the Plus' 1GB RAM. The Note 4 can capture ultra-wide selfies, shoot 4k UHD videos at 30 fps, draw with precision using the S pen stylus, and has removable batteries.

The Note 4, however, doesn't fare well against the iPhone 6 Plus in some departments. The slate is not waterproof and it lacks slightly in aesthetics. The TouchWiz UI needs a little more work to be smoother.

Specs:

The iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5-inch Retina HD display with a pixel density of 401 ppi. Even if it is a phablet, it is the largest iPhone to date. It runs on the A8 chip supported by an M8 motion co-processor that make it one of the swiftest handsets in the industry.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 515 ppi pixel density. It has 32GB internal storage, expandable up to 128GB and supported by 3GB of RAM. A 16-MP primary camera, a 3.7-MP secondary camera, Android KitKat and a 2.7-GHz quad-core CPU are some of the main features of the phablet.

Talking Points:

The iPhone 6 Plus is the largest iPhone to date, but it is more a phablet than a smart phone. The Galaxy Note 4, like most of the ace Samsung devices, is all about power, speed and features, and almost unmatched in its segment.

Prices:

The iPhone 6 Plus prices start from $749 for the base model and go up to $949 for the 128GB model. Samsung has priced its latest phablet, Galaxy Note 4 at around $974.

Conclusion:

Apple may have stepped into the phablet segment with the iPhone 6 Plus, but the Galaxy Note 4 still gives the Korean company the edge that it has been retaining in the smartphone segment for some time now.
