In my Galaxy S5 review I found its faux-leather plastic back in particular feel cheap and the Note 4 carries on this unwelcome design trait, though it adds metal edges and a metal frame which is a sizeable step in the right direction. Samsung has (in my opinion, rightly) come in for a lot of criticism in its phone construction and neither the Note 4 or S5 will do a lot to change that. Materials: Galaxy Note 4: plastic or metal chassis - Galaxy S5: plastic Samsung also fits the S5 and Note 4 with Super AMOLED panels which are far brighter than standard IPS displays, though they can also oversaturate colours so it is best to try them in person to see if you're a fan. Don't be too put off, Gorilla Glass 3 is currently the toughest material on any handset. After all Apple defines a ‘Retina display’ (where the human eye can no longer make out the individual pixels) as 326ppi, but this is disputed and many swear they can see the difference – notably Forbes’ contributor Ian Morris in his review of the 2560 x 1440 5.5-inch LG G3.Īs for the screens themselves, sadly Samsung has not matched the much anticipated iPhone 6 sapphire display with either device and both use Corning Gorilla Glass 3 instead. Many will rightly question whether the S5 and Note 4’s 'pixels per inch' densities of 432 and 550 ppi respectively matter. But while the S5 got larger, it maintains the same 1920 x 1080 ‘Full HD’ display as the S4 while Note 4 ups its game to an incredible 2560 x 1440 pixels (also known as ‘QHD’ aka 2k). The S5 has increased 0.1-inches compared to the S4, but the Note 4 has retained the same 5.7-inch display as the Note 3. One may be a phone and the other a phablet, but both devices have huge screens. Display: Galaxy S5 5.1-inche s - Galaxy Note 4 5.7-inches
