The Nexus 6 has just presented and Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 now been a while ago. These two devices surely matched. Both have a large screen, run on Android and cost hundreds of dollars. You must determine which phablet is the better, but in this comparison, we will discuss various aspects of these two superpowers.



Nexus 6

The Nexus 6 is the new recently presented Nexus smartphone in 2014 and is made by Motorola. The device runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, has a 6 inch screen and includes the latest high-end hardware. The price tag does some Nexus fans a bit off, because the phone is sold from € 649 and that is much more than the price of eg the Nexus 5 which was released last year.



Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The device has a 5.7-inch screen and the unit has a solid retail price of the device is received € 799. Meanwhile obtaining or less for about € 100, bringing the price towards the Nexus 6 drives.



Compare but

The so both smartphones both run on Android are evenly matched in size and have nearly the same price range. In terms of hardware, there are here and there are some minor differences, but it is mainly about the software, features and appearance and that is for everyone personally.

Processor

Both phablets use the Snapdragon Qualcomm 805. This chipset is still found in some devices and has four cores on board with a maximum clock speed of 2,7GHz per core . A processor sometimes clocked lower, in order to save some energy, but both smartphones run at the maximum clock speed. In this area there can be simply said that both devices are identical, but there must be still taken into account that the Nexus 6 running on an extremely clean version of Android, the Galaxy Note 4 runs on a modified version of Samsung account Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Terms of use both devices so very quickly, but in practice sometimes prevent the Note 4 little less smoothly for example home screens scrolls, because this skin. A one to one comparison of these devices, we hope to settle as quickly as possible, but that follows the course of time so.



Battery

In terms of battery capacity, the phablets also matched but as we know now says battery capacity is not everything. The processors are the same, but the screens differ slightly in size and displays are still the most energy-consuming components in a smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has been laid by extensively on the rack in which the battery section is of course included. Have a review of the Nexus 6 Android World you have to wait, but websites like Phone Arena have already extensively tested both devices. This showed that the Nexus 6 had to get the worst compared to the Note 4. Yes it is only one website, but they always do use the same test method so that should give a good picture of reality. The Nexus 6 is to use about 8 hours through their test, while the Galaxy Note 4 three-quarters work easier and that is a bonus.

Screen

Also in the area of ​​the screen different both units but little. The Nexus 6 is equipped with a 6-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. This results in a PPI (pixels per inch) of 489, while the Galaxy Note 4 has a PPI of 515. This is because the Super AMOLED screen of the Note is slightly smaller ie 5.7 inches. The QHD is 2560×1440 pixels same and in practice you this difference hardly notice them.

The current generation AMOLED screens are equipped with the so-called “diamond-pixel format, in which the sub-pixels of a screen a diamond forming and twice as many green pixels are present. For detailed information on this type of screen you can read our review of the Galaxy Note 4.



Design

Something that would certainly be the deciding factor can give the appearance of both devices. The Nexus 6 has a weight of 184 grams and measuring 159,3x83x10,1 millimeters. It is available in white and dark blue, and on the sides which completed to better in the hand. Is a camera module to find the back with a ring around it is the flashes. Is the famous Motorola dent in the back of the unit can also be found where you can keep your finger on just fine if you have the phone to your ear. The device includes a frame made of aluminum and is finished in high-quality also called polycarbonate plastic. For the rest

The Samsung Galaxy Note is available in four different colors (black and white for now) weighs 176 grams. The device is 153,3mm long, 78,6mm wide and 8.5 mm thick and is a bit slimmer and lighter. This phablet contains an edge of aluminum around the appliance, making the overall body a lot firmer. The back contains the neplederen polycarbonate back, which Samsung has already being used in their smartphones and tablets. The Note 4 is also equipped with the familiar home button, which is still a physical button, accompanied by two capacitive buttons where you’re dealing with the Nexus 6 with onscreen buttons. Is the carriage for the stylus can also be found at the bottom of the unit.

All in all, the Nexus 6 softer in form, while the Note 4 in my opinion more industrial looks, but that’s just my opinion.

Storage and memory

Nexus devices from Google today are not equipped with a microSD card slot so you’ll have to do with the internal memory or a USB OTG cable USB stickje with the phone should connect. The Nexus 6 is available in versions with 32GB and 64GB of internal memory. For that extra 32GB of internal memory, you pay an additional charge, of course, this is € 50. The memory is 3GB and thus belongs to the top of smartphone land.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is equipped with the same memory, but you might also need some more because of the TouchWiz software has placed the company on Android. This shell is seen as one of the toughest on the market and sometimes quite a bit resources required. The device is only available in a version with 32GB of internal memory. However, the Samsung-phablet the possibility of the device stabbing a microSD card to be able to extra content such as photos or movies to take with you. Where many GB of space be enough for one user, the other user would prefer to 4TB of space and that you can only control yourself. Fortunately, manufacturers have also by only a few GB’s are no longer of this time 32GB is the majority of people a long way from the feet. If that is not enough then order a Nexus 6 variant with more memory and the Samsung simply buy a memory card

Unique features

The Nexus 6 is a pure Andoid-phablet which runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop and that is something many people big fan of his. The phone is fast with the latest updates which is an advantage may be simply called. When the Galaxy Note still on Android 4.4.4 KitKat running the update gets dished remains to be seen. This has to do with a shell that Samsung Android over explains what needs to be adjusted before the update can be rolled. You can also say that this Samsung TouchWiz skin of a unique feature where you can also fan of his. The entire look of Android is adjusted accordingly, both in terms of buttons, toggles or institutions and various applications are also included to give the user (according to Samsung) better Android experience.

The Note- series is known for the ax feathers of a stylus and in Note 4 is also the case. Are several options when the stylus is removed from the device activated, such as recalling various options and menus while the stylus hangs just above the screen. Of course you can simply make notes or annotations. You can select faster and more precise text and copy paste or select specific topics from images to save them, then or send it to someone. Or

Conclusion

Fans of stock Android will probably opt for the Nexus 6, but with a starting price of € 649 is maybe to swallow. The Note 4 might cost a little more, but it does offer another microSD card slot and the many possibilities with the stylus, which can be decisive for others maybe again.
