AnonD-364786, 14 Aug 2015Better screen is highly debatable
Better battery - no .. S6 plus has better batery
Bette... moreSCREEN
Yes the Note 4 screen is better than the iphone 6+
http://www.displaymate.com/iPhone6_ShootOut.htm
"We recently gave the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 our overall Best Smartphone Display award, and for the time being that continues for all of the reasons originally mentioned there."
BATTERY
The Note 4 battery has 90 hour endurance, iphone is 79 hours (from GSMarena Tests) plus the GN4 has a removable battery and better fast charging.
OS OPTIMISATION
The iphone 6+ is simply a scaled up screen. The GN4 has resizable screen, adjustable keyboard and a raft of features for a big screen. Plus there is no restrictions on what apps can do (legal or otherwise).
The Iphone 6+ is a toy beside the GN4.

and why do people keep saying the battery will die after 300 cycles. i must be really lucky , that ive never replaced a battery in a phone and never had one bulge . take that back i had one bulge on a tablet before. had nothing to do with cycles , more to due with the country i was in had a lowsy power grid and more or less fried the battery. but my current phone is a note 2 which is 3 years old , to be honest ill replace it when it dies. whatever is available then. I buy a phone for as much the after market support as i do the feature set. no sd ill live heck i only play games have no more then 4 games on it at a time. has 32gb internal and a 16gb high speed sd card which is strictly for my pictures or videos of my son. of course then again im an average user not a power user. so power users might be a bit dissapointed , but ultimately a company which wants to survive isnt going to build a device specifically for the minority power users. there going to build a device they can sell to the masses. the reason i will stick with samsung is because there devices seem built to last. never had a problem with one, that i didnt cause myself. but if your a true power user , shouldn't you be also complaining that the phone should come unlocked, rooted and ready for any custom rom you want to put on it. and why not add it shouldnt void the warranty either , since all your buying is a slab of hardware,

AnonD-364786, 14 Aug 2015Do we need to buy note 4 ?
For that price we can buy iphone 6+it is about what you want not what you need.
need is necessarily and want is not.
Also I am not telling to anyone what he/she "need" to bay.

Uni-bodied phones have more limitations/disadvantages because some people want to show off their a FRACTION of a millimeter thinner phone. Let's see all the bending test with the Note 5. So far, the Note 3 came out as the sturdier than a Note 4. Bendy phone means prone to bending the battery inside - kaboom!
The main fact is, batteries have a 300 charge cycle life. Even if the common folk will think of carrying power banks, it doesn't make a difference. The only way to reduce this is light usage - turn off all notifications, turn off data, funny install so many apps, don't play games, don't download... who wants to do that?!
So ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this so called "upgrade" with the NotePOINTfive, because it's had only half what even a Note 1 has.

the bes... morethe best Camera (you know it's a sony camera sensor right? Plus the lg g4 has the best camera at the moment).
the best processor (for now. But because technology is moving with great speed expect the S6 to be outdated by 2016, that soon).
the best RAM (what do you mean? Most ram? or best ram management? Because there are a few devices that have 3gb ddr4 ram. ex. htc m9).
the best internal memory (what?! what the? No micro sd slot! hello?!).
the best looking Android phones (highly subjective. obviously you haven't seen htc m9).
the best Display (highly subjective. others want natural colour panels).
Anything else?

more iphone copies?
The note 5 is pretty much a galaxy S6 design, nothing revolutionary.
Plus compared to note 4 it's just inferior in terms of every day usage. Less battery, no micro sd slot, non removable battery. Just why?
Same thing they did with S6 because despite the new iphone appearance the S6 is also inferior to S5. The S6 is not waterproof, doesn't have removable battery, doesn't have 1080p screen and doesn't have a larger battery.
I don't care what marketing says, in every day usage the 2014 galaxies are better than these iphone copycats.
Is this what Samsung can do? copying other companies foolish decisions? Good move! No wonder why the S6 failed to meet samsung's desired sales.

What the hell is Samsung doing? They must have a 'death wish' or something?! 5 successive quarterly losses, squeezed in between Apple's upscale marketing positioned iPhone (wrongly IMHO) and the lower priced Chinese onslaught, they're falling to their knees.
These two phones won't make it; emulating iPhone is useless and not giving customers what they want is just stupid. No SD, no removable battery, no real, tangible enhancement, just "me too" is a product strategy going down the drain. Note 5 is the top end, best of the best Samsung has to offer and it falls way short. Goodbye Samsung.

The battery is between S6 and S6 active, so around 90 hours endurance rating is not that bad.

[deleted post]You find BB good, and feel iOS is not for children, you basically don't know what a smartphone is or what it is capable of. Course you work in a bank, no doubt!
