Samsung have bedazzled us with a whole range of high-end phones issue it started with the galaxy s6 then we had the galaxy s6 age then we have the galaxy s6 plus edge and now of course we have the note 5 but course Samsung aren't the only smartphone manufacturer in the world recently I reviewed the qual way mate s and today I'm going to compare it with samsung's galaxy note 5 so if you're ready let's take a look Samsung has certainly switched things about a bit with its design since the Galaxy s5 and Note 4 everything changed with the galaxy s6 and the samsung galaxy note 5 has followed suit by that to him a new design language however soirée hasn't remained stuck in the past either although it has had other metal phones in the past the mate s also sports a new design the samsung galaxy note 5 has a body made of metal and glass with a unibody design that is unlike many others similarly the mate s also has an all metal frame and a non removable battery overall the difference between these two are the mate s has the power key and the volume rockers both on the right whereas a note 5 has the volume keys on the left and the power button on the right the note 5 has the Samsung home button on the lower bezel flanked by the capacitive keys whereas a mate s has no button and no capacitive keys or keys are on screen last who must have forget the note 5 also includes a stylus in the S Pen a feature missing from the mate s the samsung galaxy note 5 touts a 5.7 Super AMOLED display which is larger than hallways 5.5 inch AMOLED panel aside from side we are looking at full HD resolution on the main s and q HD on the note 5 however both are using similar screen technologies Super AMOLED on AMOLED panels are known for emitting very bright saturated colors as well as red deep blacks something that continued to be seen on both devices have one aspect of the mate s that some people won't like is that the designers have elected to use very thin bezels so much so there is a black border around the display where the active pix will stop and the display material continues towards the edge purse I don't find this a problem however some users find it quite tracting the note 5 clearly has the upper hand when it comes to raw processing power with its Exynos 7420 optical processor although the quirian 935 is also an octa-core processor by way of popping for two clusters of quad cortex a53 calls whereas the Exynos 7420 uses four cortex a53 cores and four cortex 8:57 calls also the GPU in the note 5 is the mali t760 whereas the mate s is supporting the lower performing martyt six to eight the other big difference is the mate s has three gigabytes of RAM while the note 5 packs a draw dropping four gigabytes but let's move on to the other components internal storage options for the mate s are 32 gigabyte and 64 gigabytes plus a 128 gigabyte variant with a pressure-sensitive screen however this latter option won't be available globally the Galaxy Note 5 also has a similar lineup but there is no 128 gigabyte variant both suffer from excessive use of the internal storage by the system as both devices only offer around 24 gigabytes of free space to the user from the 32 gigabytes of total flash memory some of you might prefer the quali mate s when considering storage as it supports micro SD cards something Samsung has done away with however neither offer removable batteries the battery in the note 5 is a 3000 milliamp hour unit or the mate s packs a two thousand seven hundred million power unit both devices have a built-in fingerprint reader but how they are implemented is quite different the note 5 includes the fingerprint reader in the home button on the front for a device on the lower bezel while they have taken a different approach and let's place the fingerprint reader on back while both fingerprint readers are highly accurate I find the fingerprint reader from the make s easy to use the reason is quite simple the mate s allows you to wait and unlock your phone in one step whereas the note 5 requires two steps the thing about all lockscreen technologies is that the harder they are to use the more likely they are to be ignored on your Android phone use it of a pin or a pattern that unlock the phone there are lots of people to use them but when the authentication step becomes too then you just tend to do away with them I try using a pin or a pattern on my phone but having to type in the pin or make that pattern like 50 times a day drive me crazy so I don't do it anymore fingerprint readers off an authentication step I should make unlocking smart phones quick when it comes to the unlock both on the note 5 and the made s do an equal job some people won't like the fact that the fingerprint read it on the back of the mate s as it means you can't unlock your device without picking it up that is a fair criticism however I've been digging back into my memory and I really can't recall the last time I tried using my phone without actually holding it in my hand however if for you it is essential to unlock the phone without holding it and there is always the backup PIN number which can be tapped in on those occasions when you aren't holding phone however where the mate s gets it right on the note 5 gets it wrong is that the mate s allows you to wake it and lock your phone in one step with a phone asleep you can just press your finger on the reader and the phone will wake it on all in one swift movement on the note five you to wake the device with the power button and then place your finger on the sensor all you need to press the home button and leave your finger on the button until the fingerprint is read now I've practiced this maneuver repeatedly and it still takes around one second to wake and unlock the phone and don't get me wrong one second is great but it seems like such a long time when you compared to the instantaneous wake and unlock on the mate s quawi mate s comes with a 13 megapixel rear camera that includes a four color RGB W imaging sensor and optical image stabilization also the camera housing is scratch proof thanks to a sapphire protection however the note 5 has a 16 megapixel sensor and F 1.9 aperture and also includes optical image stabilization there is no doubting of the camera on the note 5 is a better of these two however here are a few sample photos so that you can compare yourself on the front side you'll find an 8 megapixel camera on the koala mate s and a 5 megapixel camera on the note 5 here on paper at least the mate s offers more to selfie lovers both are Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Huawei made s run android 5.1.1 lollipop but i doesn't exactly mean their software is identical in fact their UI schemes are quite different Samsung's TouchWiz UI will strip down for the Galaxy S six we are thankful the same philosophy has been applied to the note 5 Easton has all those great S Pen features multitasking and other elements but the interface is much speaker while weighs version of boundaries known as in motion UI and it's quite significantly different from touch with and from stock Android most notable difference is the lack of an app drawer which means you are dependent on folders to keep things organized while they has added some extra built-in functionality including a set of motion controls like a flip to mute and the knuckle gesture system there is also a one-handed layout mode which temporary reduces the size of the UI so it can be used with one hand finally emotion UI also has some jeweled windowing support but mainly for these stock apps like gallery notepad videos and so on overall guar weighs take on hands but is certainly different from the stock experience however it is sleek and well designed when it comes to pricing the mate S is available for 649 euros in Europe or 469 pounds in the UK while the note 5 is waiting for $700 for those in the USA if you're using a direct conversion between dollars euros and pounds on the two devices are similarly priced however the note 5 isn't available in Europe a direct conversion liver world anyway for example the new Amazon fire tablets cost $49 from amazon.com yet they cost 49 pounds from Amazon co dot uk' but forty nine pounds at the time of writing he's actually around 75 dollars if you could get a note 5 in Europe for the same price you can get it in the USA then the note 5 would be an absolute bargain likewise if you get a huawei mate s in the USA only four hundred and sixty-nine dollars then it would clearly be the cheaper of the two devices and there you have it my quick comparison between the note 5 and the mate s now you have to choose between these two phones it may not be just the pure specifications that would alter your decision for example there's availability and there's pricing the note 5 isn't available in Europe for example and what is the price of a mate s in your local area if you put aside availability and pricing then King in the note 5 is the better of the two devices however the huawei does offer a good overall general experience well my name is Gary Sims rounder Authority I hope you enjoyed this
