Apple's iPhone 6 Plus is the first entry in the phablet market for the Cupertino-based tech giant. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the fourth iteration of the South Korea brand's successful line of phablets. Now, given that these two are set to take the market by a storm, it is not surprising that many consumers want them to go head-to-head just so they can find out which device is the better pick. So without further ado, here are the specs and features of the iPhone 6 Plus that will blow the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 out of the water and vice-versa.

From the get-go, these two handsets are designed to be strategically and beautifully huge. Apple's first ever phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus, rocks a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p IPS display while the Galaxy Note 4 rocks a larger 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen. Though both displays are quite outstanding in terms of clarity, Samsung's display technology for the GS Note 4 is insanely better since it packs in 78 percent more pixels than the iPhone 6 Plus' screen. Nonetheless, it is still note-worthy that the screen resolution of the iPhone 6 Plus is by far the best quality among Apple's line of iPhones. It is even far sharper than the 750p display of its little brother, the iPhone 6.

As per usual the iPhone 6 Plus is sporting  an all-aluminum body, giving it a premium  look and feel all over. GizMag even claims that the design of the iPhone 6 Plus is reminiscent of the company's two-year-old iPod Touch. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - just like its predecessors - comes with a plastic back casing. However, aside from the faux leather plastic material, the South Korea brand has managed to incorporate a metal band to surrounded the edges of the phablet, unlike the metal-like plastic found in the previous iterations of the Note series.

Since both the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the iPhone 6 Plus are high-end devices, it is not surprising that they come with the latest and trendiest features among the smartphone hybrids today. Both actually comes with the fingerprint sensor. The main difference though is that the iPhone 6 Plus' Touch ID - the same one found in the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 - is pretty convenient and easy to use. One just needs to rest his finger on top of the home button of the device and his or her fingerprint will register right away. Samsung's fingerprint scanner on the contrary works differently. Instead of a simple touch gesture, one has to swipe his or her finger a couple of times before the device can pick up the user's fingerprint.

Both phablets also come with NFC chips. While this is not something new to most Android smartphones, this is actually a first for Apple, who has been working on its two new iPhones since late last year. The big advantage of having NFC in the iPhone 6 Plus is the fact that users can now transact and do NFC payments via Apple Pay. Meanwhile, the NFC chips in Android devices are yet to be utilized in making NFC-based payments since services like Google Wallet and Soft Card are far from establishing NFC-powered tap-and-pay mode.

In terms of performance, both the iPhone 6 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can absolutely deliver. While the Apple phablet comes with the A8 64-bit dual core processor, the Galaxy Note 4 comes with an 805 32-bit quad-core processor that is clocked at 2.7GHz.

Storage-wise, the iPhone 6 Plus comes in three variants: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. Of course, the Apple device does not have any storage area for external memory. Contrariwise, Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 only comes in two versions: 32GB and 64GB. What's good about the all-new Samsung phablet though is it has an area for the microSD card to make up for its relatively smaller memory, noted Christian Today.

For users who are very particular with the camera technology a smartphone houses, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a sure winner. Its 16MP shooter has optical image stabilization and can  manage up to 8x digital zoom. The front-facing camera of the device also does a great job in capturing high-quality pictures since it's a 3.7MP shooter. Apple's iPhone 6 on the other hand has an 8MP back camera with Dual LED flash and a 1.2MP front camera that still does an amazing job in capturing Full HD videos.

Last but not the least, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which runs Android 4.4 KitKat, has superb energy and almost non-stop fuel with its 3,220mAh battery that is further coupled with Samsung's Ultra Power Saving Mode. In contrast, the iPhone 6 Plus, which is running Apple's all-new iOS 8, has a 2,915mAh battery. It's not yet sure though if the smaller battery of the iPhone phablet is deal breaker, according to Design & Trend.
