iPhone 6 size (the 6S weighs at 192g

Two super-smartphones have placed themselves into the phablet market, and today we compare the most important features and specifications to help you decide.

Design
Both devices are very similar in size, and both are enlarged versions of their predecessors. Very similar to the 6 Plus, the iPhone 6S Plus hangs onto its sleek aluminium design with curved edges and an upgraded, stronger cover-glass. This model fits well in the hand, but is significalty heavier than the iPhone 6 as a result of its size (the 6S weighs at 192g).
Screen
It's nice to have competition between a very important feature, with both models using different screen technologies. Apple sticks to an IPS LCD and Samsung use its famous AMOLED display. As a result, the Note 5 offers a higher 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, making it much sharper with more vibrant colours that are great for viewing images and video. However, the iPhone 6S Plus comes with Apple's new 3D Touch technology. This is a pressure-sensitive feature of the screen that reacts
Performance

However many apps you have open, whether its gaming, media recording, browsing and other intensive applications, these two powerhouses can handle it.
Inside Samsung's Note 5 is a 64-bit Exynos 7420 chipset, backed up by 4GB of RAM and a Mali T760 GPU. It's a clear top-quality performance set-up. On the iPhone 6S Plus, you've got Apple's latest A9 64-bit chip and 2GB of RAM. It's great to know Apple have finally upgraded internal RAM this time as a means to compete. This means smoother performance and less crashing.
Cameras
The iPhone 6S Plus delivers a brand new 12-megapixel camera sensor, while the Note 5 boasts the same 16-megapixel camera that the Galaxy S6 offers. With both devices, results are sharp, with accurate colours and fantastic contrast. Low light situations is where smartphone cameras do not impress us, but this time both manufacturers have come out on top.

The actual camera app offers more customisation through Samsung's device, such as HDR mode. Apple tend to keep things quick and simple, so it lacks the more professional camera options seen with the Note 5.
However, Apple has also introduced Live Photos, allowing the user to capture a couple of seconds' worth of footage either side of your snap. You can then 3D Touch on the picture and it'll play the scene back to you.

Battery Life
It's important to care about this feature. Opting for a powerful device in theory is logical, but if its power source can't support the system well, then you'll be next to a mains plug more often than you think.
Specification-wise, the Note 5 holds a larger 3,000 mAh capacity battery, while the 6S Plus carries a smaller-than-its-predecessor 2,750 mAh. However, Apple's new chip and improved efficiency makes the device last as long as the 6 Plus.

Price
Both devices are placed at the very premium end of the price scale, so you won't be interested if you're looking for an "affordable" smartphone. The Note 5 is slightly cheaper in price when comparing storage capacities, but your decision should be based on testing both out and seeing which operating system suits you best as their specifications are very similar. Always compare the latest contracts from all networks and retailers to help you both save money and find the perfect allowance package.
