Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ vs Galaxy Note 5: 6 Key Aspects Compared

4. Power

Flagship phones are overpowered for most of today's games and apps, but if you want to feel secure that your phone will handle anything you throw at it for a few years, then the S6 Edge plus and Note 5 will see to that. The 4 GB RAM featured on both phones is as powerful as you can get on a phone today, and is sure to have the Samsung zealots gleefully goading the upcoming iPhone 7 to try and top it. The main purpose of RAM is for multi-tasking, ensuring that you don't experience crippling slowdown. With the kind of apps and games available today, this amount of RAM will easily handle any number of background processes and Chrome tabs you recklessly leave running. Both phones are endowed with Samsung's top-end Exynos octa-core processors, though these are the same as those contained in the S6 phones released earlier this year. As such, you shouldn't expect much improvement in gaming performance or other intensive phone activities.
