The Galaxy Note 5 is a better device all around. The screen may be smaller but it has a faster more powerful (and efficient) processor, more RAM for multi-tasking, an amazing camera, better design and more.However, the Nexus 6 is still pretty good, even if the camera is lacking. It has a bigger battery, similar wireless charging features and fast charging with a cord, and we'll need to review the Note 5 to compare things further. |
