the galaxy note5 and s6 edge+ are nearly identical on paper but are also two entirely different phones so let's compare them and take a look at five things you should know before buying what's up guys jonathan here in regardless of whether you're interested in the no 5 or the s6 edge+ the first thing you should know is that they both have awesome displays and they might be the best on the market both feature 5.7 inch OLED displays with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 but if we focus solely on the note 5 for a second on paper nothing's changed from the note 4 but that's on paper display mate Ransom tests not just look at a screen and form an opinion kind of test i'm talking high level bill nighy level straight up perverted tests and found improvements not only in peak brightness plus the ability to read in bright light but also maybe most importantly better power efficiency as far as the h+ display goes though it's nearly identical apart from the curved glass but in terms of actual quality it's right up there with note 5 so whichever these are leaning towards you get a killer display now the next thing you need to know is that both of these have a completely different in hand feel the note 5 is both thicker and heavier than the edge+ and features a curved back whereas the edge plus has a flat back and sharper edges I love the regular s6 edge with the combination of the size plus the edges felt better than the standard galaxy s6 so I think that tricked my mind into wanting to believe that the edge plus felt better than they no 5 but after a ton of back-and-forth and I mean a ton of back-and-forth I think I prefer the field and note 5 overall on the other hand these are both somewhat slippery phones I don't think they're as slippery as some have made them out to be but it's still something you should be aware of now if you happen to check these out in person let me know what you prefer the note 5 is easier to hold because I said show so the third thing we're going to take a look at is what separates the note 5 against the s6 edge+ that is obviously what makes a note a note the s-pen first off it has a much better design with a note 4 you had to physically pull out the s-pen on the note 5 it acts like a button where you push get an immensely satisfying click and I can take it out like a sword no seriously there's like a sound effect when you pull the s-pen out now the instant the s-pen is out even while the screen is off you have the ability to take a quick note which can then be saved as a regular note for later on then from there you have Air Command which essentially is the central hub for the S Pen functionality first up is action memo which lets you take that a note but from there take it a step further so you could link into an action put into your home screen or even use it as a reminder smart select lets you screenshot a specific portion of your screen and then can be saved as an image or added to a scrapbook screen right is a screen shot on steroids where you not only capture your entire screen but you can also write on it finally s note is where you can write down basic notes but you also have the ability to add shortcuts to apps you use most frequently so the fourth thing we're going to take a look at is what sets the s6 edge+ apart and you guessed it that is the edge display at its core it gives you a quick view of things like the time the date battery percentage and notifications without the need to fully power on the display also because there are dual edges you do have the ability to choose whether you want the notifications on the left or right hand side now if your phone is facing down the edge will light up when you get a call or notification comes through but on top of that you can also color coordinate these to your favorite contacts there's also in screen functionality as well now so if you swipe right on that edge icon you have the option for two screens people which is not only a shortcut for your favorite contacts but also a hub for notifications around those contacts as well from there you can swipe once more for access to your most use apps that I'm not sure how useful this is especially if you're used to using a launcher but it's nice that Samsung included it especially if you wanted to keep things stock now the last thing you need to know is that neither of these have expandable storage or a removable battery storage really isn't a huge deal for me but the fact that both of these have 3000 milliamp hour battery is a little bit of a disappointment and I really would have liked to see it somewhere in the 3,500 milliamp hour range at the very least wire charging is going to take about 90 minutes to get a full charge whereas Wireless which is A+ is going to take about a hundred and 20 minutes to get a full charge on the other hand these screens power efficiency is much better so it's not going to draw as much power but I think that really means that you're not going to get bad battery life but at the end of the day you're not going to get great battery life or something that you would really come to expect with a note phone aside from that that wraps up the video hopefully enjoyed it if you did and you or feeling like being awesome make sure to go tie Lopez are not like button this is Jonathan and I will see you guys later no we're inching up to like the level like high level then Bill Nye and then like you just get perverted it's like it's like a ladder of how scientific it is
