Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Galaxy S6 specs comparison: Same display but different features

A new battle between two Samsung flagship phones begins as the South Korean company has unveiled yet another product in its Galaxy line.  

Based on its Mobile World Congress presentation early this month, the company incorporated an impressive display on its latest flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S6. The device comes with a QHD Super AMOLED panel, which also happens to be the most impressive line of display units in the market today.

However, the new flagship smartphone's display feature is not unique since the company also placed it on its other flagship product, the Galaxy Note 4. 

Both Samsung devices have the same 5.1-inch display panel that comes with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a ppi rating of 577, which is why it is hard to distinguish which of them is better than the other. Users, therefore, need to dig deeper under the hood to know which one would suit their preferences.

Based on their internal features, the Samsung Galaxy S6 comes with an Exynos749 chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and a quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57, along with a Mali-T760 GPU. The earlier released Galaxy Note 4 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 (SM-N910S) or Exynos 5433 (SM-N910C) chipset with either a quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 (SM-N910S), or quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 and quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A57 (SM-N910C). The GPU is either an Adreno 420 (SM-N910S) or Mali-T760 (SM-N910C). 

Both devices have 3 GB of RAM, but the Galaxy Note 4 only comes with a 32 GB internal memory while the new Galaxy S6 has 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB memory options. 

The camera features of both Samsung Galaxy flagship phones are also similar. They both have a 16-megapixel primary shooter located at the back. But the Galaxy S6's 5-megapixel secondary camera is better than the Galaxy Note 4's 3.7-megapixel front-facing cam.
