Comparison review

The Galaxy Note Edge has a general score of 81.7, which is much better than Huawei P9's 72.9 overall score. Although it's the best cellphone in this comparison, we must highlight that it is also an older, heavier and thicker cellphone. The Galaxy Note Edge features a sharper display than Huawei P9, because it has a quite bigger screen, a quite higher screen density and a better resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.

Galaxy Note Edge counts with a bit better performance than Huawei P9, because although it has 4 less processing cores (although they are faster), and they both have the same RAM memory amount, the Galaxy Note Edge also counts with a graphics processing unit. The Galaxy Note Edge has just a bit better camera than Huawei P9, and although they both have a F2.2 diafragm aperture, the Galaxy Note Edge also has a back-facing camera with a much better 16 mega pixels resolution, a bigger back camera sensor providing a better image quality and a lot better 3840x2160 (4K) video quality.

The Huawei P9 has a little bit more memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Galaxy Note Edge, and although they both have equal internal memory capacity, the Huawei P9 also has an external memory slot that allows a maximum of 256 GB. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge's battery lifetime is very similar to the Huawei P9 one.
