Apple entered the phablet sphere last year with the iPhone 6 Plus, but it now faces further competition from the latest in the Samsung Galaxy Note line. The Galaxy Note 5 has just released and is attracting a massive amount of attention, so if you’re open to either the iOS or Android operating platform how do you choose between them? That’s where this Galaxy Note 5 vs iPhone 6 Plus handy summary of advantages comes into play.
You can check out much more on the Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6 Plus in our earlier articles at the links provided. Both are high-end devices, although it’s worth noting that the iPhone 6S Plus is rumored for a launch in the coming weeks. The Galaxy Note 5 is receiving plenty of admiration but also criticism from stalwart Note fans upset about the fact that it no longer has a removable battery, and also the lack of microSD expansion. There have also been recent reports about an issue with the stylus insertion possibly causing damage in some instances although it’s too early to say if this is a widespread or limited problem.
