Duel of giants: see the comparison between iPhone 6s Plus and … – Look Digital

Big screen: you love or hate? It seems that many people can not stay in the middle ground, and or love the giant smartphones, or does not support the idea of ​​something that does not fit so well in the pocket. The fact is that, like it or not, they are a trend. In Asia, specifically, they are a reality, and this preference is rapidly spreading around the globe.

An example of this is Apple. Averse to increase the iPhone screen for so many years, we saw the opportunity to create the iPhone 6 Plus, and now the 6s Plus, which quickly fell in public taste.

However, you can not talk about big screen without citing Samsung. The company maintains the line Galaxy Note since 2011, and the unit has always been notable for bringing the Korean was best in mobile technology. The Galaxy Note 5 is no different.

But what these giants is the most interesting? We found out already.

Performance

 Play

We have hit this button repeatedly: it is very difficult to compare different systems, based on different components with different architectures. So it is not possible to say “this is dual-core and is less than this octa-core” just looking at a list of specifications.

For this reason, resort to performance testing, famous benchmarks, is important. They try to establish a fair comparison, noting the outcome of the devices in testing and providing a score. Just compare the score to have a closer to reality result.

In this regard, the most popular test is the AnTuTu, which evaluates various performance criteria and gives a score at the end. To sorrow of Android and Samsung fans, the test classifies the iPhone 6s Plus as the fastest player last year, with a score of more than 130 thousand. The Galaxy Note 5 is one of the stocky players, but not even perform in front of the iPhone scores, reaching a maximum of about 66 thousand points.

The victory is the iPhone 6s Plus , even though only half the RAM memory Note 5.


Camera  Play

the Galaxy Note 5 and the iPhone 6s Plus has some of the best cameras last year, making interesting dispute, but it is still favorable to Samsung, as pointed out by the ranking of DxOMark the main reference in cameras in the world. Last year’s appliances company, which all use the same sensors and software, included on the list.

The Samsung brings a 16 megapixel rear sensor with f / 1.9 at the rear camera, which favors the environment in photo with bad lighting and allows for faster recording of images with optical image stabilization and front camera of 5 megapixels. Meanwhile, Apple has a 12 megapixel rear camera with an f / 2.2; the front camera was also 5 megapixels. One difference compared to the iPhone 6s, is that the Plus has optical stabilization, which allows better photos and videos on the go, softening the famous effect of hand shaking.

When it comes to video, the two devices closely approximate, since both are able to record images in 4K. Even so, victory is the Galaxy Note 5

Software

 Play

we understand that there is a tie between Android and iOS, and who uses a hardly like the other. However, the TouchWiz is not Android, and it is indeed less than the balance that iOS has the Apple platforms.

It is important to note that Samsung has improved software, but not yet on an equal footing. The Note 5 has some good peculiarities, the main concerning S-Pen, which is incredibly responsive and great to use. However, TouchWiz is also notably known to be heavier, prone to crashes and to be more confused and polluted than the clean version of the system, created by Google.

The competition with iOS is unbalanced . Apple’s software may have its limitations compared to the freedom that Android offers, but it’s still a round system, optimized for the hardware that supports it, allowing excellent performance. The iPhone 6s Plus still has the feature of 3D Touch, which makes a difference in usability and should become popular as developers adopt the idea in their apps.

The iPhone 6s Plus is winner .

Display

 Play

It is the specialty of Samsung, and is also the time for Apple to be outdone. The iPhone 6s Plus is very good with its Full HD screen (1920×1080) 5.5 inches, and reproduces colors quite closely. In short, it is great to look at the iPhone screen.

The problem is that few companies in the world make screens as Samsung, and the company takes the time to launch their smartphones to also advertise what is capable displays in the area. This is reflected in the 5.7-inch panel with a resolution 2K (2560×1440). In addition, the fact that use AMOLED, which is more economical and reproduces better black than LCD iPhone.

As always, you may wonder if so many pixels into such a small panel as a cell really makes a difference. However, despite the discussion whether we need so many pixels, the fact is that most of them are even better, and also favors the use as virtual reality device with a Cardboard or Gear VR.

victory, so the Galaxy Note 5.

Price

To sorrow of Apple fans, this is a category that has no discussion . The Note 5 may have been launched by the amount of R $ 3.8 billion, but it is possible to find it in the range of US $ 2600 and US $ 3000. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6s Plus will not reduce its price until the next version is released. For now, it is not found for under $ 3800 in 16 GB version (which no one should have).

It is worth noting, however, that the difference vanishes, on the one chance the person has the opportunity to buy a smartphone abroad. In the United States, for example, both have basically the same price.

However, as we are a Brazilian site, and most of you readers are also here, the advantage is Galaxy Note 5 .

Conclusion

As we always say in these comparisons, we take into account the technical criteria to give the final opinion. If we consider the tied players, then we look at the price to compare cost-effective.

Then, unfortunately, I can not for the iPhone. Apple’s pricing policy makes the device does not depreciate throughout the year, as with its competitors. The Note 5 may have been launched at a price close to the iPhone 6s Plus, but its cost has already fallen too in various shops, making it a quality choice and more affordable.

So, victory is the Galaxy Note 5.
