Asus Zenfone 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review: Comparison of Specs, Features and Price
Phablets are not very popular with people with small hands but they find a nice niche within the consumer market with their big, bright displays and powerful processors which can be used in most things from mobile web browsing to playing games.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 faces stiff competition from the newer releases this late 2014 like the iPhone 6 Plus, or the Nexus 6. Other less known brands like the Asus Zenfone 6 however, offer lower-priced phones with decent specs.
First, the Asus Zenfone 6. It has a 6.0-inch touchscreen with a display resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Its screen is way bigger than the Note 4's 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen but its display resolution pales in comparison against the Note 4's QHD resolution.
