The Galaxy Note 5's processor is just as good as HTC One ME's processing unit, and although the Galaxy Note 5 has 1 GB more RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores. HTC One ME counts with a little sharper screen than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a bit smaller screen, and they both have the same exact 2560 x 1440 resolution, the HTC One ME also counts with a little bit higher display density.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 shoots much better videos and photos than HTC One ME, because although it has a lower resolution back camera, a worse video resolution and a smaller back-facing camera sensor, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better photography in low light situations.
