Just a simple question, who wins and why?
For me of course Samsung, this time iPhone 6 looks and feels so agile, tend to bend..and Samsung Note 4 becoz its vast customization and options
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 VS iPhone 6

iphone 6 plus bends, not the 6. And also it only bends if you put it in very tight jeans and you tend to stretch your legs a lot.
if you want a 2012 specs phone, get the 6. if you want a 2014 specs phone, get the note 4.
I can't tell if people are actually serious when people say "2012" specs. The iPhone 6 has shown to be have either similar or better performances than any current Android phone.
Proof? lets look at the most common benchmarking tool, Geekbench 3.
Multicore (CPU intensive tasks)
iPhone 6 Plus: 2854 (1.8X better performance)
Nexus 4(the "2012" specs that everyone compares it to): 1582Singlecore (day to day tasks)
iPhone 6 Plus: 1596 (3.2X better performance)
Nexus 4: 492For comparison to the Note 4 (snapdragon 805 version)
Single: 1128
Multi: 2925You can see that despite the iPhones "2012" specs, it trounces the Note 4 in single core performance, which is used for most day to day tasks. The Note 4 does indeed beat the iPhone in multicore performance however not by as much as you'd nearly think if you look at the bare specs.
Verdict? The iPhone performs just as well (if not better) than any other "2014" spec'd phone.
Furthermore if you wanna talk "pure" specs the iPhone beats the Note 4 in some ways;
Snapdragon 805:
28nm process(lower is better)
1< billion transistors
32bitApple A8:
20nm process
2 billion transistors
64bit (anyone that wants to argue 64 bit does nothing in a >4gb phone, you clearly know nothing about processor technology)Thats just pure benchmarking tests, if you want to compare "real-world tests" then check out Phonebuffs(youtube) speed test comparisons where they open multiple apps to see which ones load faster overall. The iPhone 6 thoroughly beats the Galaxy S5 (2min vs 3min) and beats the M8 by 10 or so seconds. When comparing the Note 4 and 6 Plus, the Note 4 beat the iPhone by a few seconds(I think 3 seconds?).
These things clearly show when it comes to performance, they're very similar to each other, and therefore, comparing specs is pointless and it comes down to what experience you prefer.
Right now, I'm using an iPhone 6 + and I love it, before that, I had an Xperia Z2, that was nice too.
If you're asking me to compare the Note 4 to a 6 Plus, I'd go iPhone since I dislike TouchWiz. If it were stock Android, I'd have a very hard time choosing.
Oh, and the bending. Check out Consumer Report's experiment where they bend test various phones with actual meters to check how much force is being put into the phone before breaking.
The 6 Plus was more durable than the 6. The 6 was just as durable as the HTC M8. The Note 3 took about 30% more force to bend than the iPhone 6 Plus.
This shows that while the iPhone is more prone to bending than the Note series, it is GREATLY exaggerated (the force needed to bend an iPhone is equivalent to bending 4 pencils at once, how often does that happen in your pocket).The app speed tests are bs
Apps are optimised differently for the two operating systems. Ie: greater focus on iOS or android.
That's the only thing I didn't like about your argument.
Yeah, apps may be optimised differently, however, thats the point of a "real-world" test. Hypothetical eg. if you had a nexus 4 which has worse specs than an iPhone 6 and it loaded Facebook 10 seconds quicker on the Nexus, the bottom line is that the Nexus is faster for loading Facebook and if that was your only use, then the Nexus 4 would be better for you (in this hypothetical situation) in the real world.
What if you had a phone that scored 8000 on Geekbench but no apps were optimised for it at all and somehow, the phone that scored 4000 was able to load apps twice as quick. Even though the 8000 phone has the superior specs, the 4000 phone would be better for real world use and you would rather it too, wouldn't you?
Simple: Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
The iPhone 6 is just that… an adaquate smartphone.
The Note 4 is for more than that; it's a productivity TOOL, and more.
Productivity? Note 4. It comes with Multi Window (so you can Youtube while you browse the internet, on that huge screen); the iPhone doesn't have this feature despite its big screen.
You've also got the S-Pen with the Note 4. Jot down stuff (and automatically turn them into text!), and draw stuff… share them, edit your photos etc… Not with the iPhone.
Battery life Note 4. Carry around spare batteries, and replace them as you need. The Note 4 also has a Ultra Battery Saving mode.
Camera? Note 4, by a very big margin, based on this huge blind test: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-wins-ou…
It's also got 4K recording, and optical image stablization (the iPhone 6 doesn't).
Style? THis is purely subjective. J
Bottom line: To me, the iPhone 6 is yet another iPhone, that offers nothing special; it's a bigger iPhone. The Note 4 is powered by Android, so of course you have the ability to customize the f out of it, and you also have more 'extreme' apps (e.g. apps that will allow you to play downloaded movies! [of course i don't encourage, nor do this]).
WINNER: Note 4.

Touchwiz. Enough said
Just a simple question, who wins and why?
For me of course Samsung….Simple

For the lazy one part of the post says (re. Korean sales)
Analysts estimate total presale figures for the new iPhones have reached roughly 100,000 units, which tops an estimated 30,000 units for the Galaxy Note 4 over a similar time frame. A spokesman for LG Uplus confirmed that the pace of the presale for the Galaxy Note 4 phone hadn’t been as fast—thus far— as for the iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus.
And another opinion from the Android camp

The problem with Troll posts is that sometimes they can backfire - :)
But reality is that dedicated users of each brand will remain dedicated, unless there is a real compelling difference for them to change.
Really well said. Thank you.
When Apple does replaceable battery then I'll consider them
They are replaceable, just not pop out like cheap plastic phones.
People keep complainingg about the samsungs being cheap plastic. But its this plastic and the fact that they pop open that has saved my phone from cracking its screen on concrete numerous times.
If you can pop open an Apple phone and swap out (maybe replace wasn't the best term) a dead battery for a freshly charged one in under 15 seconds, heck even 60 seconds then I want to know.
Use what you are comfortable with. I dislike apple because of itunes and ios. But if you are already invested in those things dont over complicate things for yourself. Stick with it if you like it.
On the other hand if you want something different and something more customisable or are not happy with apple product then give android a go. From what ive read, samsung's touchwiz interface on top of Android is at its smoothest and least troublesome. Some people complain about it. I personally dont have any issues with it.
