this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Full Sail what's going on guys märklin Sangin here from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be giving you guys our full comparison between these two flagship devices Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 plus two of the most popular smartphones out in the market right now I've been using these devices over the holiday weekend and they're both great phones but let's go ahead and see which one is ultimately the winner the iPhone 6 plus supports a 5.5 inch 1080p display while the note 4 comes with a 5.7 inch 1440 qHD display iPhone 6 plus is equipped with Apple's latest dual-core AE a chip clocked in at 1.4 gigahertz with 1 gigabyte of RAM while the note 4 is equipped with a 2.7 gigahertz Snapdragon 805 processor with 3 gigabytes of RAM the note 4 features a 3220 milliamp battery while the iPhone 6 plus features a much smaller 2915 milliamp battery both feature fingerprint scanners though the note 4 features in IR blaster a heartrate monitor and the S Pen the iPhone 6 plus comes in three different storage options from 16 gigabytes 64 gigabytes and 128 gigabyte while the note 4 has 32 gigabytes of expandable storage of 228 gigabyte via microSD slot and the note 4 will set you back for $299 with a two-year contract while the iPhone 6 plus will set you back for $299 for the 16 gigabyte model and that will go up to $399 to $499 for the 64 and 128 gigabyte model iPhone 6 plus of course is running iOS 8 the latest OS from Apple while the note 4 is running Android 4.4.4 kitkat with Samsung's TouchWiz skin over it the note 4 is a well-built phone and it sports a similar design language to what we saw in the Galaxy alpha wood it's metal frame and plastic back that you can remove to access the battery the SIM slot and the microSD slot now the note 4 feels like a premium phone and I think Samsung did a really awesome job designing this advice from the metal frame to the Sham ffred edges to the faux leather back it's the best-looking Note smartphone yet and finally shows that Samsung has the design chops to keep up with today's power players they're both equipped with fingerprint scanners and I have to admit it same things doing a really good job of improving technology though it's not as easy and seamless as Apple's touch ID iphone 6 plus any other hand is just huge it sports an all-aluminum curved back and a glass and a front slightly curved towards the edge of the screen to give users a more seamless swipe action however it's just slippery there are ugly antenna bands in a bag and that camera humph it's just not as good-looking as a note 4 despite the fact that it sports a smaller 5.5 inch display it's taller than a note 4 and it's also slimmer which could also potentially if you're not careful then when enough pressure is applied overall I found a note 4 is much much easier to manage in its slightly smaller footprint and rectangular design helps a ton when using a device one-handed now with Samsung's Super AMOLED displayed the colors are richer it's more vibrant and it's definitely much brighter though the iPhone 6 plus is IPS display however chose to give users more of a natural looking color and much better viewing angles you won't really notice a difference in clarity or sharpness unless you look at these two devices closely and side-by-side but as I use the note 4 on a daily basis there's so much to like about this device and every time I turn on a screen it just comes alive and I really like that pair that with its 2k resolution and it's clear that Note 4 is definitely the better screen here now the cameras nowadays are getting better and better and we actually did a full camera comparison between a 6 plus and an O for a few weeks ago which will link down below this video but just to quickly touch up on his topic again the note 4 features a 16 megapixel sensor Widow is while the 6 plus features a smaller 8 megapixel camera would oh is now on paper it sounds like the note 4 16 megapixel sensor is superior in this category but the 6 plus still holds its own when it comes to image quality there's no doubt about it the iPhone 6 plus takes some of the best photos in mobile and Apple did a really awesome job in this department and it processes images better than any phone I've tried the note 4 is great too but I find that it still tries to over process images by over sharpening them which kind of ruins the shot I personally think the iPhone 6 plus has the better camera here despite it having a lower megapixel count it's fine for the average person and megapixels really only matter if you want to be able to print out large photos let's take a quick break from this video and thank our friends over at Full Sail as some of you may or may not know

out right now and the note 4 quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor what it's three gigabytes of RAM is plenty powerful to do everyday tasks like browsing the web watching videos and playing 3d games though the iPhone 6 plus is no slouch either it runs on the latest a8 chip from Apple and it runs exceptionally well alongside the note 4 now during day-to-day use both phones are well equipped to handle pretty much anything you throw at them whether it's playing games or just watching movies both can handle tasks no problem occasionally I'd experience lag on a note 4 when quickly switching between apps or using multi window but that's not really out of the norm and I can say the same for the six plus I'd experience random reboots and apps shutting down on their own and these are some of the things that we you really can't explain now when choosing which smartphones to buy battery life is usually one of the main factors that consumers are looking for the iPhone 6 plus features a 2915 milliamp battery while the no.4 features a bigger 3220 milliamp battery I would average about a full workday on both devices which isn't bad by today's standards the note 4 however lasts just a tad bit longer than the 6 thanks to the bigger battery but both are also running to different operating systems which we'll get to in just a second the no.4 also came with its own adaptive fast charger which can get you enough juice in 15 minutes to use for a few more hours which the iPhone 6 plus doesn't offer so when it comes down to performance both are tied and they perform exceptionally well but battery life definitely goes on to note for for this one since they're running different operating system one is running Android and the other is running iOS both perform differently now one of the best parts about using Android is the ability to customize your device from the lock screen so to home screen to the launchers it's great for making your device your own but the great thing about the note 4 is using the no fours S Pen some people use it on a daily basis and some don't and that's fine but the S Pen isn't just for writing notes or doodling you'll be able to do a lot of different actions like highlighting particular section on a website which will translate that into a text and it could also give you the URL then you'll be able to jump straight into that site with just a click of a button now the S Pen works almost like a mouse on your phone and if you're doing a lot of typing cutting and copying this is definitely an asset there's also multi window which allows two apps to run in split-screen and there are various motions and gestures that makes a user experience even better something that iOS doesn't really offer now the iPhone 6 plus in iOS 8 is no slouch either it's different from androids open and customizable OS iOS offers a much more intuitive and user-friendly experience that people can pick up right away Apple software now offers third-party keyboard support widgets and Notification Center continuity which essentially allows you to use your iPhone iPad and Mac seamlessly to make the user experience better the thing I love most about iOS is iMessage and FaceTime these two are the main reason why I use an iPhone not because of its user friendly experience but because I can use the stock messaging app to text other iOS users for free either using my Wi-Fi or a data network now it's integration with my Apple computers at home and at work is great too everything syncs automatically and it's something that Android doesn't really seem to offer out of the box now there are some messaging alternatives in a market but my messages might go to service iPhone 6 plus with iOS 8 also features Apple pay a new mobile payment service that uses the iPhones NFC chip Apple's trying something different with Apple pay as it uses a unique device account number to encrypt and securely store your credit cards through a dedicated trip in the iPhone it's secure fast and it uses touch ID to authenticate payments which is pretty cool to see for a mobile payment service if I were to choose an OS I choose iOS over Android and that's because it fits in what I do on an everyday basis I use iMessage a lot to view text friends internationally and face I'm using the phone app works without using a third-party app in the end the Galaxy Note 4 comes out on top both on paper and during real world use sure the iPhone 6 plus offers a terrific camera and exceptional app ecosystem but the note 4 ends up offering more in a long run especially for the power users the s-pen Ray's experience to new heights while Samsung's device also offers a better screen larger battery and memory expansion support it's also the most beautiful Samsung phone yet rivaling even Apple's all-aluminum flagship Apple may have gone big this year but Samsung has been doing this for years and the no.4 is a great example of how a super-sized phone should be done thank you guys so
