Apple's new big-screen iPhone looks more premium with its anodized aluminium body and stainless steel buttons. The iPhone 6 Plus features rounded edges and a slim profile just 7.1mm thick.
The Note 4 looks a lot better than the previous iterations of the device with its metal frame and soft-textured back cover but pales in comparison to the iPhone 6 Plus.
The display panel on the iPhone looks more attractive as it is attached with the phone's edges in a seamless manner with a slight curve. On the other hand, Galaxy Note 4 front panel features a 2.5D glass screen for protection. Apple definitely scores more points in the design department.

Display
Apple iPhone 6 Plus sports a 55.5-inch LCD display while the Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED one.
Samsung takes the lead with a QHD resolution (2560x1440p) while Apple's new iPhone 6 has a full-HD display (1920x1080p). Most users would not be able to distinguish between a full-HD and QHD display unless they look very closely. However, the Note 4 also packs in more pixels per inch at 515ppi compared to iPhone 6 Plus (401ppi). This means text and images would look sharper on the Note 4.

It is a little difficult to compare the internals of the two phones as Apple doesn't offer specifics on processor, RAM and battery. The iPhone 6 Plus comes with a custom Apple A8 chip with 64-bit architecture and M8 motion coprocessor. The chip uses an advanced 20-nanometer process and is faster and more energy efficient compared to the A7 chip.
The Indian variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will most likely be powered by 1.9GHz octa core (1.9GHz quad + 1.3GHz quad Core) Samsung Exynos processor with 3GB of RAM, and a 3220mAh battery. It is not clear if the Exynos chip powering the Note 4 is based on 64-bit architecture.
Apple optimises iOS for its devices so the clock speed and RAM won't matter much. However, the Galaxy Note 4 is one of the most powerful Android devices around.
iPhone 6 Plus comes in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage variants while the Note 4 comes with 32GB internal storage and a microSD card slot for expansion. The Note 4 also comes with a fast charging feature.
Camera
iPhone 6 Plus comes with optical image stabilization, just like the Note 4, taking its already good camera hardware to the next level. It can take 43MP Panorama shots and record 60fps normal video and 240fps slo-mo video.
Galaxy Note 4 comes with 4K video recording while the iPhone 6 Plus camera is limited to full-HD. With 4K hardware still not being mainstream, we don't think it will matter.
The iPhone 6 Plus sports a 1.2MP front camera and comes with a burst mode, while Note 4 features a 3.7MP front camera.
Apple has not increased the resolution of the iPhone's rear camera sensor, sticking to 8MP. Samsung on the other hand, offers a 16MP rear camera with the Galaxy Note 4. Megapixels don't really decide the quality of images and Apple's image sensor and processing engine ensures better photos compared to phones that come with high-resolution sensors.
