Note 5 vs Nexus 6 Specs

For those considering one or both of these big screen "phablets" one thing everyone will consider are the specs. Rather than going through them one at a time, here's one big breakdown of everything these phones will have to offer. This is based off of what we know, and what rumors are suggesting the Note 5 will deliver.

Nexus 6 Specs

5.96-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD Display
2.7 GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB of RAM
32GB/64GB internal storage
Android 5.1 Lollipop (Soon Android M)
13 Megapixel camera with OIS, 2.1 front camera
Dual Front Facing Speakers
Aluminum frame and premium design
3,220 mAh battery

Galaxy Note 5 (Rumored)

5.7-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD S-AMOLED Display
Samsung Exynos 8-core processor with 4GB of RAM
32, 64, 128GB storage options (Micro-SD a maybe)
16 Megapixel OIS Camera (like the Galaxy S6)
8 Megapixel front-facing camera
Android 5.1 Lollipop
Premium Galaxy S6-like all glass and aluminum design

It doesn't look like the Note 5 will get an Ultra HD screen like some rumors suggested, but it doesn't need one. It should have a slightly smaller screen, the same size battery, an efficient Android 5.1 Lollipop software, and potentially have better battery life, all while performing better in all areas, especially the camera.
