Apple iPhone 6s Plus counts with a display that is just as good as Galaxy Note 5's display, although the Apple iPhone 6s Plus has a way worse 1920 x 1080px resolution, a just a little inferior pixels amount in each display inch and a bit smaller screen.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has just a little better battery life than iPhone 6s Plus, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity. Galaxy Note 5 captures a little bit better photographs and videos than Apple iPhone 6s Plus, and although they both have the same video frame rates and the same (4K) video definition, the Galaxy Note 5 also has a larger camera aperture to capture better photos and video in low light environments, a lot more mega-pixels back camera and a bigger back-facing camera sensor.
Although Apple iPhone 6s Plus is a better device, it is way more expensive than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy Note 5. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get Samsung Galaxy Note 5, letting go a few specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your savings.
