Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a little bit better than Samsung Galaxy Note 4, having a general score of 85.1 against 81.6. Samsung Galaxy S6 is a a lot lighter and thinner phone than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, even though both of them were released with only 7 months difference. Both phones we are comparing here come with the same Android 5.0 OS (Operating System), so both should provide the user identical operating system features.
The Galaxy S6 has a bit more powerful processor than Galaxy Note 4, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM, the Galaxy S6 also has a faster graphics processing unit, a 64-bit CPU and a higher number of cores (although slower). The Galaxy S6 has a bit more vivid display than Galaxy Note 4, because although it has a bit smaller display, and they both have the same 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, the Galaxy S6 also counts with a bit more pixels per inch of screen.
The Samsung Galaxy S6's camera is just as good as the Galaxy Note 4 one, and although the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a larger aperture, they both have the same video frame rate, the same video quality, the same camera sensor size and a camera in the back with a 16 MP resolution. The Galaxy Note 4 counts with a little bit more memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S6, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with an external memory card slot that admits a maximum of 128 GB.
Galaxy Note 4 counts with greater battery lifetime than Galaxy S6, because it has 3220mAh of battery capacity.
Although Galaxy S6 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S6, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, resigning a couple features and specs.
