With the arrival of September come into play new player in the smartphone field, and beyond. Now the so-called “phablet” smartphone generously sized, have gained a market share of more and more consistent. It was just Samsung to open the dances with the Galaxy Note, a game changer put on the market in 2011 IFA in Berlin has revealed, however, the fourth iteration, Galaxy Note 4, the state of the world phablet.

But with the growing supply phablet, also grow the diagonals of smartphone devices defined yet. And as we did for the comparison between notes 3 and S5, we will compare the notes 4 (which will be released after only a few months compared to the previous year, announced last February, which has sold 10 million units, only the first month on the market) with S5.
In contrast, therefore, to what many think, september is not the only month of the iPhone 6 While purists will choose Android definitely the future Nexus 6, many are undecided whether to buy Samsung Galaxy S5, which remains one of the world’s best selling Android phones, or the new Note 4 Excluded from this comparison, the Galaxy Alpha with its 4.7-inch screen: this means that you can define your smartphone.

DISPLAY
Galaxy S5 has a display of 5.1 inches , Note 4 of 5.7 . One difference is not abysmal in terms of size, but resolution: S5 retains the usual resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full HD, and Notes 4 was equipped with a beautiful 2K QHD display of 2560 x 1440 pixel . Superiority for notes also about 4 pixels per inch, with a stop at 432 and S5 Note 4 which rises to 550 ppi. Although Apple has defined its display “Retina” at 326 ppi as the maximum amount that the human eye can distinguish, the dispute on this front continues to rise ppi infuocarsi and increasingly with new solutions and phablet smartphone competition.
No sapphire crystal for Samsung, which still relies on the Gorilla Glass 3, the protective glass most reliable on the market. The circle is the usual Super AMOLED display (not IPS), but more bright colors very saturated. Really, having a smartphone with an IPS display and go to the Super AMOLED could be a trauma, some judge the saturated colors of an eyesore. But it depends on your taste.
MATERIALS
Galaxy S5 is basically made of polycarbonate, that is, Plastic . Of course, the board has a good effect of aluminum, but in fact, it is only an effect. The back then has a perforated cover that, although it offers a good grip, was judged aesthetically poor, and rightly so we say. Samsung has, however, including the constant feedback, tired of the plastic Fact 4 instead introduces a aluminum frame (real aluminum) with beveled edges and a rear similar to “fake skin” Note 3 Together in Alpha Galaxy, Samsung wanted to send a clear signal to users, hoping that the plastic will be abandoned altogether in the future, at least for the top range devices. However, a feature that is present on S5 and 4 do not find notes on the resistance to water and dust which on one hand makes the S5 the most “rugged” and the other allows you to Note 4 to have the edges of the screen more thin. In this case we must choose between the resistance (S5) and the elegance, functionality and optimization of screen space better (Note 4).

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
Samsung is known to optimize both the size and the weight of its devices. Especially the first aspect is an important discriminant for the purchase of a new terminal. Obviously depends on the use to which it is addressed and Notes 4 is definitely a consumer business that wants maximum power and more space to operate. Galaxy S5 measures 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm and 145 g Note 4 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm for 176 g. Definitely bigger and heavier, but by different uses, if we add the S-Pen provided.
Processor
Before we get started, the processors are updated on the market even a few months away, so it is obvious that Note 4 has one more powerful. In this case one 805 Snapdragon 2.7 GHz with Adreno 420 graphics chip, while the S5 has the 801 at 2.5 GHz and Adreno 330 graphics chip Notes 4 also has more RAM, 3 GB (such as Note 3) S5 while “only” 2 GB. The result is definitely higher scores in benchmarks to Note 4, although the differences in the “real world”, ie those operations that are carried out every day and also for video games that require little power (most of them), there are few differences. These will be seen instead in games with advanced 3D graphics and multi-tasking, but the real advantage is dell’805 in energy savings, making it more efficient battery.

CAMERA
Note 4 wins again. Both models have a 16 megapixel rear camera, but notes 4 (Sony IMX240) includes the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), which stabilizes the sensor of the camera while shooting. This means sharper pictures and better video (both terminals also incorporate 4K resolution), as well as better performance in the night, when prompted for a longer exposure. The Note 4 also benefits from the selfie: the front camera is 3.7 megapixel compared with 2.1 for S5. The latter is clear, snaps stunning photos, but notes 4 reaches the next step.
MEMORY
With Galaxy S5 is certainly more choice , since there is the cutting base from which to 16 GB from 32 GB (all with microSD slot), Note 4 on the other hand versions 32 and 64 GB plus microSD slot. However, this is a feature that iPhone and Nexus devices do not offer.
BATTERY
The Note 3 may be numbered as a device from the battery performance, as well as S5: Note 4 falls into this good tradition. To maintain good battery life the Notes has 4 under the body from a well- 3,220 mAh , just over 3,200 mAh Note 3 S5 instead has a 2,800 mAh battery. Here’s where you put the Snapdragon 805, ie, the optimization of energy resources. We should also mention the new features of Notes 4, ie fast charging (QuickCharge 2.0): Samsung says that in just 30 minutes you can recharge 50% of the battery. S5, with a recharge of 12 minutes, comes to 20%. For sure you load more slowly Notes 4.
OPERATING SYSTEM AND MISCELLANEOUS
Unfortunately it does not come out with 4 notes The Android (which is the next exit) but with KitKat 4.4, obviously with the UI TouchWiz. S5 is in the same situation and Samsung is famous for its slowness in updating the devices, even top range. As regards the sensors, both of the devices have those for fingerprint recognition, heartbeat and stress. Note 4 adds one to the UV rays, which can alert you when the sun’s rays can be dangerous and then when it is better to stay a little shade. The main difference remains then the S-Pen, on the Notes 4, which adds several features to the interface, for accurate handwriting on the screen. The new S-Pen with a new Air Command , which includes several new features to take advantage of the smartphone display, and will now be able to write and draw as if you were using a fountain pen on a sheet.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICES
Obviously Notes 4 will cost more, being released several months after S5. There is already talk of a price of about 800 euro with output in October, probably. S5 costs far less and has followed the usual depreciation policy of the Samsung handsets.
CONCLUSIONS AND COMPARATIVE TABLE
Marco Serra / IBTimes Italy
On paper, of course notes 4 is more powerful, but the purchase of one of the two terminals will be dictated by several factors: use (business or otherwise), price (Note 4 will cost almost twice as much when it comes out) and sizes. The choice, as usual, lies with the consumer, but at least with this comparison chart (on the left Note 4, on the right S5) you will have more awareness of the differences between the two terminals.
