If you haven’t quite got round to purchasing a new Android flagship but are intending to over the coming weeks, three likely contenders will be the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 or the Google Nexus 6 from Motorola. All of these vie for recognition at the top end of the market and it could be difficult to choose between them. Today we’re discussing the Galaxy S5 vs. Note 4 vs. Nexus 6 in a popularity clash, to see which might suit different users best.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the earliest of these three arrivals, releasing back in April and rolling out to countries across the world. This one might be best for those who don’t want a handset that’s too large, as it has a 5.1-inch display compared to 5.7-inches of the Note 4 and the massive 5.96-inch screen of the Nexus 6. It released on Android 4.4.2 KitKat skinned with Samsung’s TouchWiz, and the Android 5.0 Lollipop update has started to arrive for the phone in some regions. It has a quad-core or octa-core processor (dependent on region) and features a Full HD display with resolution of 1920 x 1080.
Meanwhile if you want a larger display and are a fan of Samsung devices you won’t go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This released in October running Android 4.4.4 KitKat and this will be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. No date has been confirmed yet but there are rumors that the Lollipop upgrade for this handset will arrive in January. Again it has an octa-core or quad-core processor, but this one steps up to a Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 and also includes the S Pen stylus for those who like this functionality.
On the other hand the Nexus 6 will also cater for those who want a larger display, and this would be a good option for those who enjoy a stock Android experience. This is a feature of Google Nexus devices that many people prefer, and as a Nexus handset it’s also guaranteed to get future updates quickly, something not so evident with Samsung devices. This phone is the newest of the three, as it has only just released. Therefore those who want the latest thing might opt for this one that arrived running Android Lollipop out of the box. The Nexus 6 has a quad-core processor and like the Note 4 it has Quad HD resolution for the display. However, one area where the phone loses out to the Galaxy S5 and Note 4 is that it doesn’t have expandable storage, whereas the two Samsung handsets both have expandable storage to 128GB via microSD.
