Which to choose between PHABLET declination of Microsoft Lumia 950 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5? Answers in our comparison
very well that every comparison is known, this debate on our interpretation of the duel data sheet. It is true that exercise is dangerous. We rely on the comparison of the technical data and tests products to compare both devices. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL is not yet marketed and Note 5 is expected in early 2016, we can we based on our hand made to compare two mobile.
First, we must explain why we oppose the two devices. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL is the declination of PHABLET 950. So it reached the size of the most famous PHABLET market, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Although they were both a 5.7 inch touch screen , we see that this is not really the same templates. The Lumia is wider and compact while the Note 5 is longer in length.
The weight difference between the two devices is mainly justified by the choice of materials. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL does not revolutionize the manufacturer’s design, we stay in sobriety. To differentiate the most entry-level models, Microsoft decided to use Polycarbonate on the back of the device. As you can read in our handling of the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, we were not very convinced. After it is a matter of taste.
On the side of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, it is really a variation of the Samsung Galaxy S6 in PHABLET. Some dimensions change because of the presence of the stylus, but there are of steel and glass aesthetic that made the success of Samsung’s flagship. This material is heavier than polycarbonate, this explains the small difference in weight.
The same touchscreen
Despite a few centimeters more about the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, both devices ship the same touchscreen. Ie a 5.7 inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 515 dpi . On what we can tell you our grip, is that this slab, just behind that of the Sony Xperia Z5. A big highlight, especially for such a screen size.
We do not like closing the Samsung Galaxy Note 5
This was the main criticism of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and its twin, the S6 Edge Plus. They are too closed. PHABLET on, the battery is not removable, it is not possible to extend the internal memory with a memory card. Microsoft has not made that mistake. On the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, it is possible to change the battery if it fails. It is also possible to add memory to 32GB already present in the phone. To these points, we therefore give the first points in Windows Phone.

The picture always on top on Lumia
If there is indeed a factor differentiating the Lumia is the importance given to the photo. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL embarks with him a 20 megapixel sensor, but especially the PureView technology , which has already convinced many users of Windows Phone. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 defended well also on this point. It embeds the same sensor as the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The latter was considered the best photo sensor on an Android smartphone, before the release of the Sony Xperia Z5.
Therefore difficult to decide between the two devices. Especially when our grip, the Lumia photo sensor was not the point. The development was very slow. We expect to have the final version of this mobile to get an idea on the issue.
Why Snapdragon 810?
What a surprise to see that Microsoft has bet on the Snapdragon 810 on Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. I must say that this processor is notorious for being the one that most of the market warmer. It is one of the causes of business failure of the HTC One example M9. To compensate for the heating, they boarded a liquid cooling system. Except that it did not seem to work well. Initial feedback shows that the heater is always present, even if we can not at the Z3 Plus and M9.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 embarks him the Exynos 7420. A processor much more reliable that has dominated all benchmarks to date. To this point, we give the advantage to the Samsung PHABLET.

It will take tests
If this exercise to compare data sheets give some answers in some cases it is not today. Both smartphones are too close for us to elect a winner without having been on extended test. We will update this article when we have the products in their hands.
