[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] evilpenguin123:
So Ive had my Note 4 for a nice bit, but now its time to stack it up against its in house brothers. Ive got in my stock an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 and a Wifi only Note 10.1 2014.

Both are the newest in their segments from Samsung, both packing some pretty great hardware. Lets break down how they compare with a few benchmarks. The two of which I decided to use was 3D Mark and Vellamo.

First I want to go over a brief overview of the specs for the unfamiliar.

Note 10.1 -Wifi only

Screen: 10.1" WQXGA Clear LCD (2560 x 1600), 299 ppi

CPU: Exynos® 5 Octa (1.9GHz Quadcore + 1.3 GHz Quadcore)

GPU: ARM Mali T628MP6 (6 Core)

RAM: 3Gb

Memory: 16GB with 32Gb Class 10 Micro SD

Sprint Note 4

Screen: 5.7” Quad HD Super AMOLED (2560 x1440), 515 ppi

CPU: Snapdragon 805 Quadcore 2.7GHz

GPU: Adreno 420

Memory: 16Gb with 16Gb Class 10 Micro SD

Galaxy S5

CPU: Snapdragon 801 2.5 GHz

GPU: Adreno 330

RAM: 2Gb

Memory: 16Gb with Class 10 Micro SD

I would like to note that all of these devices are stock, used often, and not enhanced from their factory setting in any way.

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!

3D Mark:

Note 10.1 This unit scored a number of 13513. I do want to make note that 3D mark has removed the device from caparisons as it was flagged for unfair modification to boost benchmark results. That being said, this turned out to be the runt of the litter despite the Octa-Core CPU in this benchmark.

Note 4 This device scored a whopping 20159 on this benchmark. With superior hardware to its brothers it bests even the iPhone 6 Plus which is scored at a modest 17843 and the iPhone 6 which is ranked even lower at 17307 on 3D Marks comparison charts.

Galaxy S5 This device ranked at a nice 18217. Besting both of Apples newest attempts and bumping along just short of Note 4.

Vellamo

This benchmark measures things a little differently, which I like. It has Browser benchmark, obviously for the borwser(For this I measured the stock Samsung browser and Chrome). It has Multicore which is exactly as it suggests, an advanced multicore benchmark. Lastly, it also has Metal, which measures maximum power of the device.

Note 10.1

Browser:

Samsung Browser: 3524

Chrome: 3214

The Note 10.1 seemed to really blaze along here, both results coming in with hot numbers ranking above HTC's M8.

Multicore

The Device ranked a very nice 1570, it show up short of the G3 at 1711 and ahead of the nexus 5 at 1525.

Metal

Once again, no disappointment. The device ranked in at 1374 beating out the Nexus 5 (1271) and coming in below the LG G3 (1497).

Galaxy S5

Browser:

Samsung Browser: 3278

Chrome: 2908

Bumping along a little slower than the Note 10.1, still scoring in with some nice results. This however was my daily driver for quite some time so cache and cookies may be hindering some performance here.

Multicore

This device scoring a nice 1701, which is just ahead of Vellamo's score for the GS5 at 1647. Chugging along ahead of the Note 10.1 as with the 3D Mark, but not crushing it quite as bad. The Device ranks in just below the G3 as well, and has some significant distance ahead of the Nexus 5.

Metal

Scoring an impressive 1518 this device is once again besting Vellamo's score for the GS5 at 1464. It tops everything on their comparison list except for the OnePlus One which ranks at 1653.

Note 4

Browser:

Samsung Browser: 3546

Chrome: 3377

Crushing the competition here, the Note 4 is the clear winner.

Multicore

Dropping it like its hot at 1870, this bad boy is killing everything on their list.

Metal

Going in for the finishing blow (Que mortal combat announcers "Finish Him") the Note 4 is sitting at staggering 1823. Surpassing the Galaxy S5 by over 300 points in this segment, and the top chart comparison the OnePlus One by 170 points.

With that out of the way, I do want to say benchmarks are not the end all be all. The devices are all great and id recommend all of them to anyone, but I figured this was interesting to see on a numbers game just how they matched up. I recommend reading up into the two benchmarks I used if your interested in testing things out for yourselves. I find them both interesting and they both seem to keep interest in accurate results. Hope you guys enjoyed this! Let me know what you think and feel free to share input you've found along the way!
