Apple iPhone 6s vs Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Which is the best Smartphone Yet

The two well-known smartphone manufacturers in the world continue to compete with their two new high spec smartphones: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Apple iPhone 6s. In this article, we compare iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 smartphones from a consumer’s point of view by summarizing the most imperative specifications and features that will dazzle you for sure.

Design

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a similar look to its previous flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6. The front design still has a familiar look, but the new metal frame with shiny bezel and glass back panel (used instead of cheap plastic cover) makes it visually an extraordinary smartphone. Arguably the best (visually) that Samsung has ever made.Samsung has also tweaked some other design aspects as well. For instance, unlike, the Samsung Galaxy S6, the back of Note 5 is curved on both sides that makes it easier to grip.iPhone 6s looks exactly same as the iPhone 6, having aluminum chassis and glass front panel that is curved around the edges of display. Apple has used 7000 series aluminum for iPhone 6s framework that makes it sturdier and less slippery than its predecessor. The highlight of the iPhone 6s design however, has to be its new innovative Rose Gold color that is gaining popularity.

Display

iPhone 6s comes with a much sharper 4.7 -inch Retina HD display with 750 x 1334 pixels of  display resolution serving up to 326 PPI. It also comes with a state of the art 3D Touch, one of the most outstanding new feature of this smartphone. Instead of just gestures and tap, iPhone 6s is also capable of detecting how much pressure is applied on the touchscreen. 

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes with a much larger 5.5-inch Quad HD display having 2560 x 140 pixels of display resolution, serving up to 577 PPI effectively. According to a panel of display experts, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has the best performing display ever made by Samsung. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 also comes with an S Pen Stylus that is one of the hallmark feature of Samsung Galaxy Note series. The latest S Pen Stylus with Note 5 has a few more tricks up its sleeve, such as ability to write notes on screen without even turning it on.

 

Camera

iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 both are shipped with extraordinary cameras. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 16 - megapixel camera with 4K recording capability, whereas Apple iPhone 6s comes with a 12 - megapixel camera. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 camera sensor comes with a huge aperture that gives an edge over Apple iPhone 6s when it comes to taking photos in low-light situations. Both flagship smartphones feature Optical Image Stabilization feature. However, Apple has been famous around the globe for the quality of its smartphone camera. One of the smart feature of iPhone 6s that gives it an edge over its predecessor is Live Photos, a way to bring photos to life, which is quite amazing. 

 

Battery

One of the major concerns that probably matters the most to high spec smartphone users is its battery life. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 3,000 mAH battery that is also slightly bigger than iPhone 6s 1,750 mAH battery. However, both smartphones offer similar battery life, and should get you through the day after a full charge without any issue.
