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

Pros and Cons of the iPhone 6:
The iPhone 6 has very few advantages over the Galaxy Note 4. It is slimmer at just 6.9mm
thickness, and the latest iPhone weighs just 129g compared to the 176g heavy phablet. In other words, the
iPhone is a compact phone that fits easily into your palm.

It has only 1GB of RAM, which is insignificant compared to the Note 4's 3GB memory.
The iPhone 6 has no storage expansion slot and it runs on a 1.4-GHz A8 processor, while the
Samsung phablet is available with a 2.7-GHz CPU. Even the 8-MP camera doesn't do well
compared to the latter's 16-MP lens.

Pros and Cons of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has many features that give it the edge over the iPhone. It has a
larger, 5.7-inch display with pixel density of 515 ppi compared to the iPhone's 326 ppi. The
phablet has 3GB of RAM, microSD slot with maximum expansion of 128GB, and a 16-MP
primary camera lens.

The only point that may go against the Note 4 may be its dimensions. It has a thickness of
8.5mm and weighs 176g, but that's what you get when shopping for a phablet.

Specs:
The iPhone 6 is the 8th generation phone in the successful iPhone series. Weighing just 129g and
measuring 6.9-mm in thickness, it has a 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display. The touchscreen
has resolution of 750x1334 pixels and pixel density of 326 ppi. The phone is available in 16GB,
64GB and 128GB storage sizes without any expansion slots. It has 1GB RAM and runs on 1.4-
GHz, dual-core A8 processor.

The iPhone 6 has an 8-megapixel primary camera and a 1.2-megapixel front facing camera with
face detection feature. The phone is powered by iOS 8 and has a battery life of up to 14 hours.
Other main features include Siri, iCloud service, Fingerprint Sensor, and Apple Pay.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is technically a slate/phablet. It has a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED
display with 515-ppi pixel density and 1440x2560-pixel resolution. It is available in a single
32-GB model and the storage could be expanded to 128GB. It features 3GB of RAM and is
available in three quad-core CPU configurations - a 1.3-GHz Cortex A53, a 1.9-GHz Cortex
A57 and a 2.7-GHz Krait 450 processor.

The Galaxy Note 4 has a 16-MP primary and a 3.7-MP secondary camera. It runs on Android
KitKat 4.4.4 and weighs 176g. It also has a 3,220 mAh Li-Ion battery with storage capacity of up to
20 hours.

Talking Points:
The iPhone 6 was launched in September 2014 along with iPhone 6 Plus, its larger variant.
Overall, Apple received more than 4 million pre-orders for both the phones within the first day
of availability. The Cupertino, CA based company sold 10 million units within the first 3 days of
release. More recently, the company claims that it is poised to have record-breaking sales figures
in the last quarter of 2014.

The Galaxy Note 4 was unveiled in September 2014 at the IFA Berlin and released the next
month. According to Samsung, the company sold 4.5 million Note 4's within the first month.
This was lesser than the sales of the device's predecessor. The company has also announced that
the tablet is compatible for plugging into the Samsung Gear VR.

Prices:
The iPhone 6 16GB model is available for a price starting $779.99 on Amazon while the 64GB
model starts from $924.48. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes at a price tag of $809.00 on
Amazon.

Conclusion:
The iPhone 6 is the ideal choice among the two devices if you need a compact smart phone.
Light, slim and elegant, it has the iPhone brand tag that is undeniably classy. But the Samsung
Galaxy Note 4 is the more powerful and feature-rich device for anyone who wants to get more
out of his phone/phablet. It surpasses the iPhone in almost all departments - CPU, RAM,
storage, camera, and display size and clarity. Objectively, the Note 4 is the winner if form is of
little concern to you.
