My Samsuno Galaxie Note 4 is better than any Iphone on the market. Apple has the name going for it and nothing else. I have a nephew who has a degree in computer programming who likes to call iPhones the cell phone for dummies.

Not by a long shot, NKP_Vet:


Your Galaxy Note4 did not even make the cut on that chart.


Again, where is your Galaxy note 4?


Oh, my, NKP_Vet, again, no Samsung Galaxy Note 4, anywhere in sight!

Let's look somewhere else than Tom's Guide from October 2015.

From Anandtech, September 29, 2015, Benchmark testing:


Oh, the latest Samsung Phone is down at the bottom. . .


This one FINALLY has your Galaxy Note 4 on it. . . around the middle in 10th position, with the iPhone 6S in second, beaten only by a HYBRID LAPTOP with an Intel i5 processor in it.


Again, your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is bested by TWO iPhones. . . including one in the FIRST position.


This time your "better than any Iphone on the market" is in the twelfth position, and FIVE Apple iOS devices are higher rated than it. . . including FOUR in the first, second, third, and fourth place positions. . . and one that is a TWO year old Model!


This time your vaunted "better phone" is in NINTH position with again Five iOS Devices including FOUR iPhones and FOUR Apple devices in the first FOUR BEST positions.

These are benchmarks done using independent bench tests by independent testing organizations and reviewers. . . without a dog in the fight. They make sure that Samsung is no longer CHEATING on their benchmark tests (ala Volkswagen) by implementing special processor routines whenever they ran into the Geekbench tests. . . and are run clean.

I could go on, but this is enough to blow your ignorant claims out of the water. In every test in the last two years, Apple iOS devices have been the fastest on the market, using a true 64bit processor with a true 64 bit OS, with all native apps and APIs being 64 bit. Not something that Android can claim at all.

I stand by my statement. I always refuse to do business with a company ran by a sodomite, who’s company donates millions worldwide to the killing of unborn children and every other liberal cause this side of the moon. I also don’t drink that mud from Starbucks for the exact same reason.

Pixel density

Pixel density - The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is.

441 ppi 326 ppi  
Technology

Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

Hardware
System chip

System chip - Most modern handsets use an advanced chip that includes many of the device’s hardware modules like the processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and sometimes even the wireless radio. This field shows what particular system chip (or System-on-a-Chip) is used in the phone.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 8974-AA Apple A8  
Processor

Processor - The processor is the main computing component of a phone and is a major factor when it comes to the overall speed of the device. Some more powerful smartphones use dual-core and quad-core processors designed to deliver greater performance.

Technology
CDMA

CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access. A technique of multiplexing, also called spread spectrum, in which analog signals are converted into digital form for transmission. For each communication channel, the signals are encoded in a sequence known to the transmitter and the receiver for that channel. The foremost application is digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS band. CDMA phones are noted for their excellent call quality and long battery life.

Positioning

Positioning - This field shows the positioning systems supported by the device. There are three main types: GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS. GPS - This is one of the most widespread global positioning technologies, developed and maintained by the U.S. government. It uses satellites in order to detect your location. Works best in clear weather. A-GPS - A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS and is the industry standard for positioning and navigation. “Assisted” means that it can use local wireless networks, in addition to satellites, for quicker and more precise localization. GLONASS - GLONASS is a global positioning system, developed by the Russian Federation. It’s very similar to GPS, but isn’t so popular in cell phones.

Great info and thanks.

I would like to see the iPad Pro chip vs. the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
