Note 4 vs Nexus 6 review Camera


Camera
As if purposefully looking to make the decision tricky for buyers, the Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4 have a very similar camera set-up.
Google's handset touts a 13MP rear-facing camera with ring flash and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), while Samsung's has a 16MP sensor with LED flash and OIS.

Both proved fairly evenly matched during our tests, providing crisp, detailed images, largely thanks to the OIS technology.
However, we did notice slight saturation issues on the Galaxy Note 4, which also struggled to match the Nexus 6 in low light.
This is mainly down to the ring flash on the rear of the Nexus 6, which provided more constant lighting and contrast levels.
Winner: Nexus 6
Battery
The Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4 both pack 3,220mAh batteries. Google and Samsung quote up to 24 and 20 hours of talk time respectively.
Despite Google's claims, we found that the Galaxy Note 4 managed to outlive the Nexus 6 during our battery burn tests. The Nexus 6 lasted eight hours, while the Galaxy Note 4 managed nine hours.
For those not watching video 24 hours a day, we found both smartphones easily offered a full day of use, and on average made it into a second day without any problems.
Both come with quick charge modes onboard. Samsung's custom Fast Charging feature enables the Note 4 to be charged from zero to 50 percent in 30 minutes, while Motorola's Turbo Charger juices the Nexus 6 with six hours of battery life in just 15 minutes.
Winner: Galaxy Note 4
Storage
The Nexus 6 is available in 32GB and 64GB capacities, with no room to expand via microSD.
The Galaxy Note 4, on the other hand, comes in a 32GB variant only, but with an onboard microSD offering an extra 128GB.
Winner: Galaxy Note 4
Overall winner: Galaxy Note 4 
There's barely a whisker in it, but the Galaxy Note 4 trumped the Nexus 6 in four out of seven categories.
Google's latest smartphone would be an obvious choice for those after a stock Android 5.0 Lollipop experience, but we found the Galaxy Note 4 more manageable owing to its smaller screen size and dimensions.
It also came out top when it comes to battery life and storage, offering the option to expand the 32GB internal memory via microSD.
