Comparison review
The Galaxy S6 Edge is a bit better than Galaxy Note 4, having an 81.8 score against 81.6. Even when Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy Note 4 were released only a few months apart, Galaxy S6 Edge is noticeably lighter and somewhat thinner. Both phones we are comparing here work with the same Android 5.0 OS (operating system), so you shouldn't perceive any difference in that aspect.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge features just a bit better screen than Galaxy Note 4, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have the same exact 2560 x 1440px resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge also counts with a quite higher pixels amount in each inch of display. The Galaxy Note 4 features a way bigger storage to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and although they both have exactly the same internal memory, the Galaxy Note 4 also has a slot for an external memory card that holds up to 128 GB.
The Galaxy S6 Edge has a little bit better processing power than Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM memory, the Galaxy S6 Edge also has a 64-bit processing unit, a better graphics processing unit and more processing cores. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 captures much better videos and photos than Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for low-light images, they both have the same resolution camera, a same size back camera sensor, the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same video frame rate.
Galaxy Note 4 has better battery life than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has 3220mAh of battery capacity instead of 2600mAh.
Although Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is a better device, it is more expensive than the Galaxy Note 4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Galaxy Note 4. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Galaxy Note 4, resigning some specs and features.
