Comparison review
The Galaxy Note 3 is a bit better than the iPhone 6, with an 81.2 score against 79.2. Galaxy Note 3 works with Android 5.0 OS, and iPhone 6 comes with iOS 8.x OS. Galaxy Note 3 is a better device than the iPhone 6, we must note that it's also an older, thicker and much heavier device. IPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 both count with extremely similar displays, although the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 also has a little bit greater pixels density, a larger screen and a way higher resolution of 1920 x 1080px.
The iPhone 6 counts with a little bit better memory capacity to store more apps and games than Galaxy Note 3, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with 128 GB internal memory capacity. The Galaxy Note 3 features a CPU that is just as good as the CPU in iPhone 6, because although the Galaxy Note 3 has a 32-bits CPU instead of 64-bits, and they both have a 450 MHz graphics processor, it also counts with a higher number of cores and a greater amount of RAM memory.
Galaxy Note 3 counts with a much longer battery performance than iPhone 6, because it has a 3200mAh battery capacity instead of 1810mAh. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features just a bit better camera than iPhone 6, because although it has a smaller camera sensor capturing worse quality photographs, and they both have a same size diafragm aperture, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 also counts with a lot higher 13 mega pixels resolution back camera and a much better (4K) video resolution.
Although Galaxy Note 3 is a better device, it costs a lot more than iPhone 6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as iPhone 6. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the iPhone 6, and give up a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
