Design

For design, we can be assured that both devices are beautiful. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 design is of course, similar from its predecessor. While Samsung Galaxy Note 4 display is a tad bigger ( 5.7’’ vs 5.67’’), they look almost the same with no big changes. However, many people have voiced their bias towards Note 4.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 display, however, has higher pixel density than Note 4.

Hardware

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sports a new Exynos chipset with octa core 1.5GHz processor, while Note 4 only has a quad core 2.7GHz. Therefore, Note 5 is somewhat faster than Note 4. Moreover, it has 4GB RAM instead of 3GB RAM on Note 4.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 also has explicitly more internal storage options, since it has 64GB and more variants. However, its weak point is that Note 5 does not support microSD card originally (only the DUAL SIM version will). Therefore, if microSD is important to you, even the 32GB Note 4 wins.

The most important thing is that Samsung Galaxy Note 5 battery houses only 3000mAh, while its predecessor has 3220mAh already. Even though it’s a bit faster and more powerful handset, Note 5 is a little disappointing in energy. Additionally, the battery on Note 4 is removable, which is a plus for people who want to insert something with higher capacity. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 battery saving modes and quick charge also win over.

Camera

Their main cameras have the same resolution of 16MP; however, Note 4’s front camera is only 4MP, which is, quite less appealing than that of Note 5 (5MP). Nevertheless, we have to test the camera when Note 5 is released first to know the different, so let’s say this is a tie.

Overall, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be a better choice over Samsung Galaxy Note 5 if the latter does not have any hidden , significant features. As Note 5 will be unveiled tonight, we will have a more detailed look at its specs. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 price and availability will also be out tonight, so stay connected.
