It is not that PHABLET (phones with a huge screen) exist in the market for a long time, but , it should be fair to say they have gained relative popularity. In most cases, “smartphones overgrown” does not refer to the budget segment. As a rule, we can see only the top models. No exception, and two new items this year: Google Nexus 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Soup largely similar, but differences also abound. Interestingly, on which device is better to choose? Let’s carefully discuss every aspect and make a conclusion.

Design

As part of the design of smart phones have nothing to do . Judge for yourself. The new product from Samsung, we see metal and glass, while the Nexus is made primarily of polycarbonate, and the performance itself is very similar to Moto X, released in 2014. As for the exact figures, the dimensions of the Nexus 6 is much larger: 159,26 x 82,98 x 10,06 mm to 153,2 x 76,1 x 7,6. Samsung has not been able to resist, and once again on the front side devaysa flaunts branded label. Google, as always, manages reference only producer on the rear side of the device.

Screen

With regard to such important aspects as the display, there is clearly a point gets Samsung. Firstly, the manufacturing technology for the better apart from the competition: Super AMOLED vs. conventional AMOLED. Second, the higher pixel density (518 vs. 493), although, of course, the difference in the figures is not serious and is not visible to the eye. Resolution identical – QHD, but the size of the screen is different: 5.7 inches vs. 5.96, respectively. Samsung has always paid due attention to the display, and the new PHABLET was no exception. In general, a well-deserved victory.

Exclusive Features

The obvious bonus that you get when you buy PHABLET from Samsung, this pen S Pen. Famous stylus from the South Korean company needs no introduction. Needless to say, that with each new Note it also improves and becomes useful new features?

Nexus 6, in its turn, offer independence and updates first hand from Google. Do not forget about the stereo speakers. In PHABLET, we think, a good sound is a must, because the place place excellent acoustics enough, and thanks to the big screen to view multimedia content is a pleasure.



Software

The Samsung at our disposal the familiar TouchWiz as a shell, and the operating system Android version appears Lollipop (5.1.1). At this time the company has done a good job on her, so to speak, launcher and added several special features, including work with the S Pen.

Nexus 6, for that matter, the rest of the model range gets new Android version of the very first in its original form. The smartphone runs on the latest build, and is guaranteed to receive updates for a long time. However, Samsung has promised that the flagships will be upgraded to Android Marshmallow at least until the end of the year.



Performance

What can I say, under the hood of the new products lies the most powerful iron. But Samsung is still somewhat steeper. Note 5 received the same processor as the S6. It is a 64-bit Exynos 7420 eight-core processor with a clock frequency of 2.1 (on some quad-core) and 1.5 GHz (in the other four cores). The final chord sounds from memory: devayse it in as much as 4 GB. This filling provides a record figure in AnTuTu 60,000 points.

Nexus 6 in the technical part is a bit more modest. Powered smartphone running Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core with a frequency of 2.7 GHz. Of course, in securities PHABLET Samsung’s incredible monster, but for absolutely all the daily tasks (and even more) solution from Google is more than enough. 50,000 points in AnTuTu another proof. No hint of delay or brakes. Much, of course, decides to “clean» Android.

Memory for storing data in both devaysakh can be either 32 GB or 64 are also similar and sad news for many people the fact there is no slot for cards microSD.

Camera

Galaxy Note 5 is the undisputed leader not only in the race megapixels, but also as a sensor. The same 16-megapixel digital camera module with image stabilizer is set to S6 and S6 Edge and has already managed to declare itself. The pictures and the truth, looks magnificent. Doubt that Note 5 at the moment – this is one of the best mobile solutions of the camera is clearly not necessary. 5-megapixel front camera is also not let us down.

Google Nexus 6, alas, again behind. 13-megapixel main unit and 2-megapixel front definitely not make a worthy competition to the South Korean novelty that, in principle, be expected: the camera has never been the strong point of the smartphone line Nexus, although the operation HDR +, it must be said, the pictures look very convincing.

Battery

Compared with its predecessor, Galaxy Note 5 lost in the battery capacity. If earlier it was 3220 mAh, and now 3000. But the novelty of Google, is exactly the previous model Note 5, the battery offers just as 3220 mAh. Forced to admit that none of these figures look impressive for PHABLET 2015. Little saves the fast charging technology and charging wirelessly possessed both devices.

The price and output

We got to the most important – value. Here, of course, Nexus 6 can forgive all the flaws. “Google Phone” is given for 500 euros, while PHABLET from Samsung is worth about 800 euros. Alas, none of the devices today are not officially sold in Russia.

The conclusion is simple. For more demanding and wealthy people are perfect Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Nexus 6 is still relatively affordable model (albeit with not as steep characteristics), especially for those looking for a powerful PHABLET supporting Google.

A which do you choose: Note 5 or Nexus 6?
