GPU Performance
While CPU benchmarks are currently a bit poor in nature, our GPU benchmarks are definitely more helpful when comparing between devices and across platforms. In the case of the Galaxy Note 4 with a Snapdragon 805 we see the same Adreno 420 GPU clocked at 600 MHz that is also used in the Galaxy S5 LTE-A so performance should be relatively similar.
Once again, the Galaxy Note 4's GPU performance line up quite closely with what we expect from the Adreno 420. However, due to the higher 1440p resolution the performance improvements from the Adreno 420 are relatively small or none at all unless the application renders at 1080p.
NAND Performance
While NAND performance is generally an area where it's important to avoid dipping too low, there's are some cases that seem to improve in responsiveness with faster NAND, such as updating apps in the background while doing other tasks or similar cases where data committed to NAND becomes relatively random. In order to test this we use Androbench with some custom settings.
As one can see in the test results, Samsung continues to stay near the front of the pack when it comes to NAND performance. One shouldn't expect storage performance to become a bottleneck on this device.

If you can't see or understand the difference between a Galaxy Note 4 and a Galaxy S5, I really don#t see what you're doing commenting technology. Cementing the prejudice that iPhone buyers have no clue about technology and should always be considered the last people to ask for advice from?melgross - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Really? I always thought it was Android users who thought that way. I guess you never know.KPOM - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
I'm as big a techie as anyone on lots of subjects but am an Apple fan. There is a lot of advanced technology underneath the pretty Apple UI.Ratman6161 - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Little bit of trolling there? Since the iPhone 6 plus has only been out a couple of weeks I find it hard to believe that switching phones is actually an option. Unless you are fabulously wealthy then what a surprise...you aren't going to dump your brand new phone for something else.KPOM - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
The OP could be within the return window for the 6 plus.melgross - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
But no one would be nuts enough to do that.mkozakewich - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
If you get a custom back plate with Doge on it, it will have wow factor. Such custom. Very shibe.Tams80 - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
The iPhone 6 Plus just looks like a iPhone 6... oh, wait.xype - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
"Overall, the design of the Galaxy Note 4 is massively improved. "Uh… it}s still ugly though. So maybe _slightly_ improved?

Uh, or we really couldn't care much less about you trying to BEND the interpretations of things here...
