| Samsung Galaxy S6 |
Galaxy S6
was released in April, to start with it comes in with more better features and
body. Starting with the body Samsung has changed its back of the body from
plastic to glass back, not only this aluminum edges have also been introduced.
The dimensions of this latest smartphone are 5.65 x 2.78 x 0.27 inches and it
weighs about approximately 140 g to the nearest 10th digit. If you
are looking for a slimmer phone. That’s not it, it now has a Gorilla Glass 4
back panel plus this one takes on the Nano SIM along with fingerprint sensor. The world slimmest smart phone also support the Nano SIM.
Now hovering
over to the specs of Samsung Galaxy S6 we have a Super AMOLED capacitive touch
screen, the screen size is slightly above 5 inches and this one provides a
resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. On the inside we have an Android 5.0.2
Lollipop operating system and it is a quad core 1.5/2.1 GHz. But there is no
card slot available instead it comes with internal storage of 32/64/128 GB and
almost forgot to mention this one has 3GB RAM.
Samsung
Galaxy S6 has a camera of 16 MP, the features include GEO tagging, touch focus,
face detection and Auto HDR. In the sound system Samsung Galaxy S6 comes with a
loud speaker and a 3.5mm jack is also included and at last coming onto its
battery which is not removable is a Li-Ion 2550 mAh one.
According to
user’s experience the camera quality is exceptional also it seems faster to
them. The phone is almost as light as an IPhone even though it has a bigger
than that plus it has a good display quality which makes it even better.
In general
the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a perfect competitor to the IPhone 6 and 6 Plus
although IPhone took the lead in the screen size but still this one is cheaper
and focuses more onto the specs. The price of Galaxy S6 starts about $700.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 :

| Samsung Galaxy Note 4 |
The Samsung
Galaxy Note 4 was released in October 2014 and has managed to attract a large
part of community towards it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a stylish smart
phone with slightly curved edges and it comes along with a S Pen (Stylus) . This
product of Samsung was first announced in September 2014. The Note 4 supports a
Micro SIM card and has with it a finger-print sensor.
Describing it we can
first of all take a look at the weight of the Galaxy Note 4 which is about 176
grams and its dimensions are as follows : 6.04 x 3.09 x 0.33 inches. This
Samsung product does not only have the attractive looks but it also has good
features which make customers want to have it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as in
case with the S6 also has a super AMOLED capacitive touch screen along with the
16M colors.
If we compare the screen size of Note 4 with the previous S6 we
would come to notice that the this one has a screen which is bigger, to be
exact the screen size is 5.7 inches and its resolution is 1440 x 2560 pixels,
not only this but multi-touch is also available and it includes Corning Gorilla
Glass 4 protection. Again the operating system of this smart phone is also
Android but it has a 4.4 KitKat version which can be further upgraded to a
5.0.1 Lollipop version.
Coming onto
the inside, its chipset is Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 and it is also a quad-core
mobile and this just keeps on getting more better since it has a processor of
2.7 GHz and this one includes a micro SD card slot plus an internal storage of
32 GB, still remembering it’s ram which is 3 GB now this ram is a similarity
between S6 and Note 4.
Galaxy Note 4 has a camera of 16 MP and features include
optical image stabilization, LED Flash plus auto-focus. We can expect the
picture quality to be good in this case since the pixels are 5312 x 2988. The
smart phone also includes alert features which are basically vibration, MP3 or
WAV ringtones. Obviously we have a loudspeaker and 3.5mm jack available in this
case as well.
Other things included are a GPS system, an infrared port along
with a micro-usb slot available, but too bad it does not have a radio
availability. Good point is sensors such as heart rate and accelerometer are
also included. That’s not the end for it, it has availability of quick
charging, air gestures and some other features are also included. Battery type
for this smart phone is Li Ion 3220 mAh which enables it to give a battery
timing on 20 hours in case of talk time and 82 hours for playing music.
Coming back
to the appearance we will now have a word about the colors in which it is
available, these are white, black, bronze-gold and pink. Talking about its
price that is about $713 (American Dollars) and well that’s all there is to the
Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Samsung Grand Prime :

| Samsung Grand Prime |
Well Samsung
Grand Prime is more of an economical smart phone made for those who want good
features in low costs, even though this mobile is not that much highly enriched
with the exact features as those found in the other galaxy series but still
this one is quite elegant in its own way.
The Samsung Grand Prime after being
announced in September was made available for purchase in October. This is a
smart phone which is lighter than the ones we have previously mentioned, it
weight about 156 grams however the main reason seems its screen size which is 5
inches. The dimensions of this phone are 5.70 x 2.84 x 0.34 inches and the
unique thing is that it supports dual SIM’s. This smart phone does not support
Nano SIM’s though but rather micro-SIM, it’s still fair. Grand Prime does not
have an LED screen, alternatively it has a TFT touch screen (capacitive) and
16M colors. Talking about resolution which is 540 x 960 pixels with multi-touch
also made available.
Prime
attains Android operating system while the version is 4.4.4 KitKat with Qualcomm
MSM8916 Snapdragon 410, which is the chip-set. Again we are seeing a quad-core
phone however with a 1.2 GHz processor but it is reasonable. The GPU is Adreno
306. Making our way to its memory which is 8 GB internal along with the 1 GB
ram and this smart phone supports micro SD of up to 64 GB.
The main camera is
of 8 MP which has a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels, here the auto-focus and
LED flash are still available. Looking on to the features of the camera, the
noticeable ones are geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection and panorama.
Samsung Grand Prime also has a second camera which is of 5 MP.
The loudspeaker
and the 3.5mm jack are again included plus the alert types which are WAV
ringtones, vibration and MP3, so as we see these are same for all three the
prime, S6 and Note 4. Well Samsung Grand Prime supports FM radio along with the
GPS. Other features included are the accelerometer, proximity and compass so
Prime is actually quite decent in specs as well.
It consists of a Li Ion 2600
mAh battery which provides the user with a talk time of about 17 hours while it
allows playing music for about 75 hours. In its color range we have 3 colors
available, you can guess them quite easily, these are white, grey and golden,
there should have been a black one included also but turns out it’s not an
option. The Grand Prime gets 7 out of 10 using statistics available to us.
Comparing
Samsung GALAXY S6, NOTE 4, Grand Prime and S5 :
In this
section, we would compare designs, features and specs of these Samsung Smart
phones, starting with the body we can see that the Galaxy Note 4 takes the lead
over here as the S6 and Grand Prime have nearly about the same screen sizes.
However at this stage Nexus 6 can be also seen as a choice if you want some
good screen size.
Talking
about S6 and S6 edge, these do not have that much extremely distinct features,
so that is why we would not focus much onto S6 edge. Only Grand Prime has a
camera which is 8 MP while the rest two are set equally as previously
mentioned, although other sound related features are the same for all three
mobiles.
Putting some light onto the Android versions, we can notice that
Samsung’s S6 has a plus point in this case, the Note 4 has a KitKat version
although that is upgradable while the one in Prime does not seem to be
upgradable. One noticeable point is that S6 does not have a card slot while
that has been included in the latter ones, so in this case we can give some
credit to the latter ones.
Comparing like this can rather seem to be boring so
we would now be straight-forward in what we want to actually say. According to
what we have talked about in this post, we have come to the conclusion that if
you have budget and want a quality smart phone you should probably choose the
Galaxy Note 4 over the S6, since it has a good long lasting battery as well, on
the other side if you do not want to over-spend on a smart phone then you can
choose the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, it might not be highly competitive to
the ones mentioned above but still it cannot be degraded as it is a decent
model as well.
