iPhone 6 Plus v/s Galaxy Note 3



Are you looking to buy a new phone/device?
I have used these two phablets ( for the uninitiated, phone+tablet=phablet) and thought of sharing my experiences with you.

Hardcore iPhone fans will always support 6 Plus and ditto for the Note 3 fans and my opinion is subjective too. Please do your own due diligence before spending money.

iPhone 6 Plus
Pros:
1. Premium build quality
2. Superior multimedia experience
3. Much better battery life than previous iPhones (easily lasts through the day with moderate use)
4. Thinner than Note 3
5. iOS 8 

Cons:
1. Cost
2. No multi window feature
3. Less features as compared to Note 3

Galaxy Note 3

Pros:
1. Larger screen size
2. Great battery life
3. Removable battery (heavy users can carry an extra battery along)
4. S-pen- a very versatile and productive tool (personally this is the reason I prefer Note 3 to 6 Plus)
5. Cost

Cons:
1. Plasticky look
2. Picture quality not as good as 6 Plus

Final verdict

If you are an active social media person and looking for a multimedia phone go for the iPhone 6 Plus
but if you are looking for productivity and business tools functionality then Note 3 will be a better choice.

IMHO Note 3 gives better value for money. And although it is more of plastic it is quite sturdy. My Note 3 hit the floor at a very high velocity but survived with only minor damage!

In case you are wondering why Note 4 is not mentioned here its because I don't have it yet :-)
